Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Monday and Tuesday are beset by all-consuming passion. The outside world is almost distorted by the strength of your feelings. You go into Wednesday and Thursday understandably wary of other people. The key is to not

let that wariness transform

into what may appear as righteousness. Friday and Saturday, something that’s dogged your understanding for a while suddenly makes sense.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Think of yourself as a space exploration vehicle Monday and Tuesday, wandering into unknown territory, snapping pictures and not making any kind of judgment, just collecting facts. Let someone else figure out what it all means. Wednesday and Thursday you’re more engaged intellectually, but you still aren’t putting your hands on your hips and telling people what to think.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

You have one foot in one camp and one foot in another. Where does your allegiance lie? What do you need most at this moment? Monday and Tuesday, if at all possible, put off making any decisions. Wednesday through Friday, you’re just as torn about everything. Though canceling your evening plans and cozying up in front of a DVD Friday night sounds, lazy, it is also wise.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Time to haul out the magnifying glass and take a closer look. What you’re looking at Monday and Tuesday isn’t entirely clear, but allow yourself to hold some unknown variables in your head; it will be a while before

this puzzle coheres. Wednesday and Thursday, amplification in the romantic realm intensifies everything else.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

There are so many ways of seeing something — as the opinions of your friends so amply demonstrate Monday and Tuesday. Instead of coming down hard on those you disagree with, listen. Wednesday and Thursday, you are pretty sure you know how things should be done, but, again, adopt a passive role and let someone else shoulder the burden.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You sweep your arms across the table Monday and draw all your money and possessions toward your chest. Tuesday you spend counting your chips. It’d be good for you to give something away. Then, Wednesday and Thursday, be generous in other ways. Be emotionally giving, insist on hearing the long versions of stories.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Your radiance is a little hard for everyone else to take Monday and Tuesday. You walk into a room and everyone else looks slightly less magical. It’s as if you pull all cosmic energy toward you, though it’s not like you’re doing it on purpose. Wednesday and Thursday, you become a beneficiary of the very excitement you help generate.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You are like a cartoon giant walking through a cartoon forest Monday and Tuesday — an imaginative Goliath who’s sometimes in the mood to be alone. You have a beautiful vision for the future, but it’s all so overwhelming and vague that you wouldn’t be able to explain it to anyone yet. Wednesday and Thursday, a new friendship seems to be taking off.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You’re being pulled left and right Monday — especially at work. Everyone is acting as if you owe them something. It’s a frustrating day, but after Monday, the week only gets better. Tuesday through Thursday are full of discoveries, minor breakthroughs and long-lost friends. It’s funny how someone can resurface at exactly the right moment.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Your career may be on the rocks Monday and Tuesday, so spend the start of the week doing something socially useful. Wednesday and Thursday, you’re feeling fortunate to find yourself in a group of people who agree with you on almost every issue, and you come up with an excuse that would put you all in touch a lot more often. Friday and Saturday offer little satisfaction, but Sunday is unbelievable.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

It’s hard to tell the difference between what’s going on in your head and what’s going on in the outside world Monday and Tuesday. The thing is, the outside world is just confusing. Wednesday and Thursday, a move toward simplicity is in the stars. Friday and Saturday are modest in scope. Let the direction of your evenings be guided by the people involved. No one wants a tight schedule.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Monday and Tuesday, anything can go wrong. It takes all your energy just to feel comfortable among a group of people. Wednesday and Thursday see you taking action and not letting anyone get in your way. Friday and Saturday are career-oriented. Everything you do has an effect on your reputation. Sunday you’re filled with optimistic thinking about the future.
