Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

It’s all about the details as the week begins, and they might totally overwhelm you if you don’t make an extra effort to concentrate. Allow for some downtime, too. Life’s more about love around Wednesday and Thursday, or at least it should be. Friday through the weekend, you might be thinking about a purchase or something, but it’s better if you focus on the bigger picture.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Lend a friend a hand, give a co-worker a boost or recommit to your volunteer work at the beginning of the week. Your power of determination doesn’t make a certain decision any easier around Wednesday and Thursday. In fact, pressuring yourself for an answer could create a problem. Have patience.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Early in the week, minimize the team stuff at work and reschedule social engagements. You’ve got powerful mental energy, but you’ll need to be solo to make the most of it. On the other hand, you love being around people, and they’re loving you around Wednesday and Thursday. Getting out of your usual circle could make it even more fun.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Get that planner updated, make certain inquiries and do some very productive thinking as the week begins. Give those relationships a little care and feeding now. Around Wednesday and Thursday, the connections aren’t quite clear, and you’ll be glad for the interpersonalfoundations you’ve laid.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

There may be some weird energy in your interactions at the beginning of the week. What’s really going on here? Being up front about your own motives is a good place to start. Around Wednesday and Thursday, though, the bonds you have with those around you can become exponentially stronger. Emotions may run high Friday through the weekend.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Your analytical powers are pretty awesome as the week gets going. If you can recognize when to go ahead and take action, you’ll be sitting pretty indeed. Are you ready for some out-of-season spring cleaning around Wednesday and Thursday? Whether it’s your workspace or your heart, there’s stuff to toss out. Make room for the new.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

As the week begins, something requires a fine-toothed comb. It may be a challenge to zero in on the details, but you’ll be happy you did. Getting stuff started is favored around Wednesday and Thursday. Friday through Sunday afternoon, your usual energy may be missing in action. However, taking things slow isn’t a bad idea.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Your sensuous side’s in the forefront as the week begins, with the cosmos smiling on your romantic endeavors and boosting your attraction. You may be wrapped up in work around Wednesday and Thursday, and it could involve some exciting stuff. Don’t go overboard, though, because your health may be a bit delicate now.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Check in with family or friends at the beginning of the week, and make sure the lines of communication are clear and open. Around Wednesday and Thursday, you’re extra smart as well as super sexy. What you don’t have: follow-through, especially at work. So take necessary steps to keep track of things.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Interpersonal connections are crackling as your week begins, and you will be lucky with any plans you make now. Put a little extra thought into it and you’ll reap big rewards. Around Wednesday and Thursday, however, the people factor demands additional attention. Spend some time figuring out others’ motivations.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re happy to let someone else have the limelight as you start your week. You’ve got more in-depth or long-term stuff on your mind, and you also have the concentration and analytical skills to deal with it. It’s more about sharing

the spotlight around Wednesday and Thursday. Plan for fun with a friend or a certain someone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Whatever you want to do, get right to it. Around Wednesday and Thursday, though, a choice must be made, and it’s not so easy. Consult someone who understands you. You may want to plan something different, something exciting and stimulating for Friday or over the weekend.
