Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are in great form at the beginning of the week. Unfortunately, Tuesday, the outside world will give you a bit of a blow and you’ll find yourself retreating into your own head. Wednesday and Thursday are quiet, introverted days as well. Friday is all friends and action and romance.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Sometimes being busy is fun, but you’re a little too busy for your own good Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are productive but pleasant. Shopping figures into your day Friday and Saturday has you thinking about money. Sunday, your intellectual curiosity may lead you to the library.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You may not have all the answers, but someone else thinks you do. You’re admired. If the group is without a leader and you have what the group needs, step up to the task. You are a good listener and grudges slide right through your fingertips these days. Sunday your unexpected thoughts turn to business.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Work is worrying you Monday — something’s up with the boss. Being flamboyant and forward is not the answer right now. Midweek, someone will let you in on a secret that changes your understanding of an issue you thought you had all figured out. The key to happiness is to be aware and take your time. Sunday is a day of energy and rebirth.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You are the beneficiary of good luck and also some goodwill Monday. Wednesday and Thursday, an authority figure puts a cramp in your style, but by Friday, you’re getting hugs from friends right and left, for no reason at all.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Whatever assumptions you have at the start of the week, drop them. Spend Tuesday and Wednesday doing research. There are so many things you don’t know yet. Thursday you’re going to achieve a lot and Friday you’ll have time to devote to a new project.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

The car sputters to a stop Monday. At first, you’re annoyed to be by the side of the road, but this is only the beginning of the adventure. Sometimes the most amazing experiences begin with the most unpromising circumstances. This is a good lesson, and it’s something you carry with you the rest of the week.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Your way of doing things works great for you, but it might not work great for someone else. Ditto your way of looking at things. It’s important not to be bossy, and it’s especially important this week. As wise as your criticisms are Tuesday and Wednesday, the people you’re around may be entirely uninterested in hearing them.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Exercise figures Monday, but it’s a fun exercise — the kind you barely notice. The middle of the week is less dreamy and fun, but don’t stop exercising: It will keep you in good spirits even as the details and the drudgery threaten to drag you down. Friday you’re happy and charming and Sunday you have all the time in the world to sleep in.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Monday finds you having to mediate a dispute between two of your friends — and then, horribly, becoming involved yourself. Find a way to back out of the situation gracefully. Tuesday through Thursday is fun. Friday and Saturday are exciting.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Words come easily to you Monday, and everyone around you seems to be responding well. If only the same could be said for your communications with your family midweek. You and your family have just hit a rough patch, communications-wise. Meanwhile, you’ll be preoccupied with way too much communication in the rest of your life.

   Cancer (June 22-July 22)

    Nothing is too grandiose for your tastes and you feel like showing off a bit Monday. Tuesday brings a return to modesty somewhat, with you focusing on small details and quality friendships. Wednesday and Thursday you’d do well to spend with friends. Friday and Saturday, plan to stay close to home because something needs your attention.
