Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Many of the questions swimming around in your head as the week gets going are answered by Tuesday or Wednesday. An intellectual conversation sets you thinking in a new way about a subject you’ve long considered yourself an expert in. Thursday and Friday you are misfiring right and left, but quality time with quality people over the weekend fixes that.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

If you don’t feel like going out, find a way to stay indoors. You have a million projects to occupy yourself with. Tuesday and Wednesday, watch out for stubborn people and be conservative around money issues. This weekend, after an essentially quiet week, your emotions will be easily aroused.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Making a good impression is a key concern Monday. Help a friend out. Force your ego to the sidelines for as long as you can, because by Wednesday it may explode to the fore. Be patient. Thursday and Friday, try to listen to others. This weekend, everything goes your way.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

A lovely weekend leads to a romantic Monday. You may even meet someone through work. Notice the way your routine changes subtly when you’re in good spirits, as you will be Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, don’t be too critical of others.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

There are limits to what you’ll be able to accomplish Monday, as a sentimental mood has you feeling oddly unbalanced. By Tuesday, this weirdness dissolves in a headlong rush of romance and goodwill. You will be busy midweek. Friday you’ll have the opportunity to help others appreciate beauty and harmony.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

You’re all business Monday, and determination and shrewdness define your day. Things won’t be smooth at home midweek. Your creative ideas go over much better later this week, but this is just not the ambitious week you thought it would be. This weekend, do something healthy for yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

The way you look at things is startling and unique. Tuesday and Wednesday, perfect strangers are carrying on fascinating conversations with you wherever you go. Sadly, none of your talents are of much use to you Thursday and Friday, when a drain in your energy has you losing sight of things. This weekend will be fun.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

The week begins on a great note. Your plans are working, and everyone you see smiles big in response to your own huge grin. Financial issues may affect your mood slightly midweek. But by Friday, when a creative scenario reminds you how worthless it is to worry about money, you’re in great spirits again.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Monday is one of those days when you have to trick yourself into staying on task. Reward yourself throughout the day for your discipline. You spend the middle of the week inspiring your friends and instigating exciting changes. You may be misled by your bank account Thursday or Friday, so watch out for that.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

A friend in a high place pulls strings for you at the beginning of the week, and you can’t believe your luck. Turn your efforts toward helping others midweek — it will be totally rewarding. Take some time Thursday or Friday to goof off by yourself. It’s important to recharge those batteries.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

As you near the finish line Monday, thrust your neck forward so that you’re ahead when the picture snaps. Spend Tuesday basking in the sweet glow of success. The risks you assume in any situation are totally worth it in the end. This weekend, strike out into the world with confidence, and good things will happen.

    Taurus (April 21-May 21)

    Poise is important this week — especially midweek, when a weird conflict with a friend or authority figure unexpectedly presents itself. Thursday and Friday, spend time around people you don’t have to explain yourself to. If you go shopping over the weekend, don’t rush around. Take your time.
