Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Monday, fantasy, mystery and hidden talents are in the stars. Tuesday and Wednesday are considerably more practical — your health is on your mind, as is work, as is being of service to a friend in need. This weekend, buoyed by your success, you may feel up for taking a risk. Don’t.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

The day-to-day has become utterly uninteresting to you. Monday, it’s time to expand your horizons. Consider your future in the context of the past — look how far you’ve come — and make a plan. Set a goal or two. Tuesday and Wednesday, your life, looked at in a new light, is a game you suddenly enjoy playing.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You can get what you want Monday if you ask for it the right way. Put your request in an email, where you can word it just so. You will be surprised how well this works. Tuesday and Wednesday, safety and security are all you want in the world, so it’s natural you may turn toward members of your family. By Thursday, your worries will evaporate.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

A hiccup in your cash flow Monday brings about a total reconsideration of what’s important to you. Nothing is as strong an indication of what’s important to you as what you spend your money on. Tuesday and Wednesday, a pattern in your life you’ve never noticed before suddenly becomes conspicuous. You regard it with curiosity more than anything.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Just because you start a new project doesn’t mean you have to see it through. Don’t be so concerned about the end product Monday. Just dive in. You’ll figure out where you’re going later — and, again, you can always switch gears. Tuesday and Wednesday you’ll feel lost, but Thursday or Friday a sweet note from someone you love brings you back to solid ground.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Monday is a good day to do as little as possible. Then, Tuesday, get ready to burn those stored-up carbs. Wednesday is a physical day too — objects in motion, and all that. Thursday, a speed bump returns you to a more casual pace, and Friday is downright slow. But Saturday and Sunday, communication is key.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

One way to figure out what to do at the start of the week is to consider what someone you admire might do in your same shoes. Or, better yet, find someone you admire and ask them. The advice you get will be good, but you may not necessarily be ready to implement it. Wednesday you’re torn between sprinting ahead and taking the slow route.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

You’re at once focused on the future and utterly unable to concentrate Monday. There may just be too many factors on the table. A clarifying conversation Tuesday or Wednesday sets you on much better footing. That said, there are obstacles in store for you this week. Don’t avoid them. Embrace them. Let life be a game.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

You have good energy Monday but not a tremendous amount of focus. Ideal tasks include driving around listening to music or taking long walks or trying to identify household objects in the shapes of clouds. Save the real tasks for Tuesday and Wednesday; your focus may still be a bit off but your mind will be quick.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A small problem might seem like a big problem to you Monday. Don’t fly off the handle, if you can help it. Tuesday and Wednesday, the problems that present themselves are eminently surmountable — you will enjoy fixing whatever it is that’s busted. You could be given a bucket of tar and you’d make a beautiful paved pathway. Your optimism is attractive.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Monday, you might forget that there’s beauty in variety and become frustrated. Resist the urge to be critical. Not everyone will do things the way you do them. Midweek, you’re downright combative, although the issue is more a scarcity of resources than anything. You won’t quite click with anyone until Thursday or Friday, when compatibility figures strongly.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

What with all the rubber balls flying through the air Monday, you’d best keep your head down. You have work to do, anyway. You can join in on the excitement — the party, the dodgeball game, whatever it is — Tuesday. Wednesday is almost exclusively about you and you-know-who but Thursday is about your extended group of friends.
