Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

The things whizzing through your head Monday are things you’d never talk about with a perfect stranger, but try it. Choose a perfect stranger, someone you have a good feeling about, and let loose. You’ll be amazed. Tuesday through Thursday, you find yourself on a quest to be useful to society in some way — do some volunteering, but Friday you don’t have to exert yourself to feel useful. Your friends make you feel needed in that way only friends can.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Something’s bugging you Monday, and it has to do with a small amount of money someone owes you. Tuesday through Thursday, you’re wary, for reasons that anyone would understand, of being party to any more financial interactions, especially those that involve money leaving your pocket and going into someone else’s. Friday and Saturday, luck is on your side, but in social situations, you’d be wise to consider everything you say before you say it, lest you wind up learning what the heel of your shoe tastes like.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

You’re good enough in conversation to know that the best way to get things out of people isn’t to tell stories, but to ask questions. Tuesday through Thursday, you won’t be much for conversations, what with money matters stressing you out -- heightening your emotions, making you oddly both shy and aggressive. But your sense of balance is restored Friday. An adventure gives shape to Saturday, but Sunday is best spent doing something relaxing.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Being receptive to the world is what this week is all about. Tuesday through Thursday, your life is all bold colors and loud noises and intense feelings. It’s thrilling, all this stimulus. You haven’t felt so connected in a while. It’s no wonder you find yourself thinking big Friday.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Cupid has descended and, on Monday, you’re walking around with an arrow stuck through you. Tuesday through Thursday, slow down a bit, focus if you can, use your brain instead of your heart. Then, on Friday, go ahead and switch off the brain again and, to quote the song, turn on your heart light. It will be glowing through your shirt all weekend. On Sunday don’t be afraid to talk about how you feel.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Tuesday and Wednesday, your frustrations at home may be having an effect on other aspects of your life which is doubly annoying and Thursday’s anxieties have something to do with an official document. It isn’t until Friday that you have time to do something for yourself, and do something for yourself you shall! The movies? A meal out? A dip in a pool somewhere? If you have social plans Saturday or Sunday, you might be happier canceling.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You find a good rhythm Monday. If you go on a date, it goes well. It’s remarkable to feel like all your needs are being met. Then you go into the middle of the week and realize that you’re still wanting in the family department. Friday and Saturday return you to the ever-pressing matter of your love life, which is unbelievably great right now. On Sunday do something for your health.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Be careful of impulse buying Monday. Don’t do it! Midweek, your curiosity leads to some deep intellectual digging that turns up all sorts of interesting, emotional artifacts. On Friday and Saturday, it’s all you can do not to run screaming from every interaction you have with your family. But Sunday is romantic and fun.

    Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

    Beauty, romance, flirting, friends — all of them figure strongly into the first day of the week. Enjoy it while it lasts, because Tuesday through Thursday are primarily about business matters. Then, on Friday, you’ll have a chance to think about yourself in a different way and you’ll blossom like a flower. On Saturday, gather your friends together and do something artistic, or bake something sugary and complicated.

    Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

    The great thing about the week is that everything seems to happen on its own. Certain people are drawn to certain people. What’s meant to happen seems to, with little fiddling on your part. It’s relaxing. On Friday and Saturday, your friends mean everything to you but don’t let them talk you into buying something you don’t need. Be shrewd Sunday as well.

    Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

    Decisions don’t come easily right now, but that’s fine with you, what with all the natural entertainment on offer. Tuesday through Thursday are less entertaining, or at least they’re less like the movies and more like the symphony: swelling, enigmatic, emotional. Friday returns you to the land of friends and park benches, and Saturday you’re happier than you’ve been in ages.

    Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

    Work is effortless Monday. You’re the star. Tuesday through Thursday, friends are laying on the attention extra thick — not because they want anything, but just because they like you. Flattering! Friday and Saturday, world domination seems a bit harder to attain, but what about a slightly adjusted goal? Something within the realm of possibility? Sunday is a good planning day.
