Gemini (May 22-June 21)

The obstacle that plops down in your path Monday may shake you up a bit, but stay the course. Focus. You knew there would be obstacles, but they’re just part of the fun. Thursday and Friday find you feeling better and more ready for the future than you’ve been in a while.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

A big lunch Monday fills your belly and puts a huge smile on your face. You are deliriously happy around other people these days, especially when food is involved. A social dinner Tuesday is not a bad idea. Midweek, you have your sights set on wilder, more ambitious ways of spending your time. This weekend is about new beginnings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

As much as you’d like to be spending the day in the park, Monday is all about work: your career, your standing — stuff like that. Creative brainstorming figures into your day Wednesday, and there’s plenty of time for socializing Thursday and Friday. This weekend has you feeling sensitive and being particularly honest.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Research and analysis suddenly seem fun to you, and a logic puzzle captures your imagination. Later this week can be either stellar or stifling, depending on how you play your hand. This weekend, you’re energized by being around other people.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Beauty hits you over the head Monday — it’s everywhere. Tuesday is like a duet between you and you-know-who, and Wednesday is suited for deep communication. Try to go out and experience what the world has to offer you and your special someone Thursday and Friday.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

An opponent may be a stronger force than you Monday, but this is not an arm-wrestling competition. Ceding a minor victory at this point may be the key to getting what you want at a later date. Boldness and bravery are key as well. But in all your valiance, don’t ignore the fine print this week. Be careful in any matters relating to money or business.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You and your best friend are attached to each other at the start of the week. Communication is key. Midweek, you start wondering if less talk and more action is in order. There’s a chance you’ll lose sight of the bigger picture. And what is the bigger picture? That’s a question for the weekend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You may not be able to dart off into a forest any time soon, but do your best to spend some time in an environment that in some way relaxes you. Be short and sweet Thursday and Friday as well. This weekend, you’ll be able to dote on one special person.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

You are not one to spend a lot of time looking back, but at the start of the week your head is in the history books. Or it’s in some of your old journals. Or you’re asking an old relative a lot of prying questions. Something tells you there are relevant lessons for you somewhere in the past — and you’re right.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Love and beauty abound at the beginning of the week: romantic notes, poetry, artwork, delicious dinners — you get the picture. If you’re single, this energy may manifest itself in a few days of incredible creativity. Creativity will carry you through the week, actually, although Wednesday and Thursday are days of business and mutability.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

It’s good to exercise patience, and there’s a kind of quiet force that comes along with not rushing anyone. That said, by Wednesday, you’ll be rushing all around. People who send you long, gushing emails will get a one-sentence response. Friday finds you flirting with you-know-who, but nothing heavy.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Energy levels are high Monday, and you and your friends are tighter than ever. You’ve been longing for romance lately, and on Tuesday you’re going to be treated to some. Decadence, affection and sex appeal all figure strongly. The second half of the week finds you distracted and feeling out of character.
