Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Monday, you’re going to have a moment of shrewdness while in the middle of a financial transaction. You are perceptive and charming. Something’s up back home, and it’s going to come to the fore Wednesday or Thursday. Do what you can, but don’t go overboard. You have a life and a special someone who wants to see you Saturday night. Don’t miss that.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Monday, you are exactly the kind of person that people love to have as a best friend. Don’t be shy about talking to strangers. You could use a couple of friends outside your immediate social circles. Now’s a good time to think about expanding your horizons, figuratively and literally. Friday, take a trip if you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You have been waiting for some well-deserved recognition for some time now, and Monday you’re finally going to get it. Be modest when you are honored. All this success aside, what do you really want to do? Friday, someone’s going to encourage you to start being more creative, and the advice is going to strike a chord.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Monday, a little discipline never hurt anyone. There’s no use for silly rules, but in terms of getting stuff done, discipline can be helpful. That’s why it’s annoying Tuesday when everyone else is acting crazy rather than dealing with the challenges at hand. Enter you: calm, resourceful, focused. You are a natural leader, as this week will demonstrate.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

You have friends in high places, and Monday might be the day to call in a favor. You have a lot of good karma coming your way, especially Wednesday. It’s almost like the world owes you one. You’re tireless in your efforts to help other people, but it’s going to dawn on you this week that you can only do so much. Spend Saturday treating yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Monday you’re going to grab for something in a daring way. Wednesday, make sure you retain your modesty and groundedness if and when you do get what you want. (There’s a good chance you will.) As you start to achieve something big this week, you’re going to start thinking about longer-term goals, too.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Monday, you know where you are going, more or less, and whether or not you realize it, you are the center of a lot of people’s orbit. It’s fun to be in the spotlight, but try not to get a big head about your social status. There’s a chance that Wednesday or Thursday you’re going to have a power struggle with a friend over something that doesn’t really matter.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Why are things kind of tough right now? Why do you feel held back from doing your best? You’re going to have a lot of questions in your mind at the beginning of the week. To make matters worse, everyone else is going to be acting a touch crazier than usual. You’re going to make a fast friend by the middle of this week, and they’re going to give you some smart advice.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

You don’t have to be the life of the party all the time. That’s not your job. If you don’t feel like leaving the house Monday, consider taking a personal day and doing your own thing. By Tuesday and Wednesday, duty calls. There’s a lot going on in your head this week. By Friday, you’re planning for the future.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are an excellent listener and you are constantly surprised by the things you learn from the most unlikely people, especially in the middle of the week. If you are criticized, take it in stride, especially Friday. You are doing good things and you’re a good person. No sense in letting another person’s

cynicism overshadow that.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

It’s the beginning of the week and there’s romance in the air. You’re going to have a terrific time Monday and Tuesday. Your general good mood is likely to put you in the mood to rethink and reorganize aspects of your life. The middle and end of the week will be spent doing small, good things for your future.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Someone is going to say something Monday that takes you back, and the flashback might not be a very happy one. Wednesday and Thursday are both going to be full of fun and romance — either you’re in a relationship right now or you’re seeing someone with potential. Even though Friday will be all about work, the day will be harmonious and beautiful.
