Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Monday, the chemistry between you and you-know-who is undeniable. You get a lot figured out in the course of the most casual conversation. Tuesday and Wednesday are more about the surface of things, math and cold logic. But your social interactions Thursday through Sunday are charmed, which is good, since you’ll have practically one continuous social engagement.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You’re attached to certain people the way old trees are attached to the ground. If someone has a problem with one of your friends, they have a problem with you. If someone falls

in love with one of your friends, your approval of them will be sought. Of course, you’d support anything a good friend wanted, but it does take some time to get used to a new person on the scene.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

You are up against something bigger than yourself Monday. Rather than wasting a bunch of energy fighting it, the wise move is to dodge the situation entirely. It doesn’t immediately give you what you want, but you have your whole life to pursue getting that. A conservative attitude toward almost every endeavor suits you right now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Meeting deadlines and exceeding expectations is your modus operandi Monday. No need to wear fancy clothes to stick out. Tuesday and Wednesday you’re taking stock of your life and thinking philosophically, but somehow you’re alone in this: No one else seems willing to have the kind of deep conversation you’re craving. Thursday and Friday, follow your mood.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

If you find yourself linking arms with a couple of friends and skipping across a park together Monday, don’t be alarmed. Playfulness is in the air. Tuesday and Wednesday, you’re distracted by a storm of errands and details. Thursday and Friday you manage to strike a balance: You’re getting things done, but you’re also having fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Even in the midst of major change, certain aspects of your life stay very much the same. Tuesday and Wednesday bring about a startling romantic development. Thursday and Friday are downright dull, at least outwardly. Put it this way — if the end of your week were a movie, it wouldn’t be a thriller.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Monday draws on your artistic talents, and it is a welcome surprise to realize that you haven’t lost your touch. You are driven by something deep within you at the start of the week. Tuesday and Wednesday, whatever clarity you had about where you are going or what you are doing vanishes. Thursday and Friday are suited for experimentation and dreaming.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

You wake up Monday with a brilliant idea — something that could make you money, something big. Tuesday and Wednesday you are seeking feedback. In the course of talking about one thing, you often end up talking about another. Thursday and Friday are no time to be coy. Total emotional transparency is a lot better than keeping your cards close.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

If you’re single and you’ve been out of love for a while, Monday brings about something of a change. If you’re not single, the change manifests itself as a willingness to take risks, lose yourself in long conversations and enjoy yourself. Whatever your situation, you’re taking the plunge this week — and getting positive results.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

You are something of an amateur detective Monday — sleuthing around the neighborhood, taking notes, coming up with theories about various anomalous activities. Thursday and Friday are dominated by several very grumpy personalities, but Saturday and Sunday give you the chance to disappear and get some errands done.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Monday everyone seems to be looking to you to find out what’s next. You are the ideas person in your group, the inspiration, the energy. You can embrace that. Tuesday and Wednesday, you’re practically dancing down the street, as you’re so happy about how things are going. Thursday and Friday, don’t be shy about reaching for what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If your place of employment has employees of the month, you will

be crowned with the title Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, your friends are heaping laurels on you as well. Thursday and Friday, the world conspires to make

you more modest, or at least to remind you of what really matters.
