Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Sadly, others won’t respond well to your brilliant advice as the week begins — so keep those insights to yourself Monday. Sometime in the middle of the week, you’ll need to choose whether to look before you leap, probably when deciding whether to help somebody else out. Go ahead and take a chance, even if you’re unclear on the facts.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Expect to experience a surge of action and adrenaline as the week begins! You’re full of bravado, and the world will serve up adventure to match. Unfortunately, you’ll need to grab that excitement while you can get it — by Tuesday or Wednesday, details and drudgery will drag you back into the routine.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Watch out for a power struggle Monday! As the week begins, you’ll find that your usually admirable tenacity is being interpreted as stubbornness (or worse!). You’ll need to make compromises to keep the peace. Midweek means good times no matter what you do — at work you’ll get ahead in your career, and at home you’ll find admiration, affection, and even romance.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

When it comes to conversational back-and-forth and lighthearted debate, you’re ready for anything. That’s truer than ever for you Monday, and your verbal skills will peak amidst a flurry of fun friends and fresh ideas. As the week wears on, some of that glibness will start to fade — you don’t usually have a hard time making yourself clear, but now might be the exception to the rule.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Nothing’s too extravagant for you Monday! You’ll feel an outsized burst of impulsive energy as the week begins, and you shouldn’t pass up any opportunity to show off. Just make sure that your “the bigger the better” attitude doesn’t drain your bank account.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Can you feel the love? Everybody wants to be near you as the week begins, and Monday sees you at your charismatic, confident best. (Enjoy the applause and take a bow!) Toward the middle of the week, you’ll feel an unusual tug coming from deep down inside — you’re overdue for some introspection and quiet time, so don’t fight the instinct to hole up and reassess the big picture.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

It’s almost impossible to suppress your need for order and organization, but try to keep those tendencies in check Monday. Events will threaten to overwhelm you in a fearsome flurry, and flexibility is the key. By the middle of the week, you can indulge your organizational desires once again — Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are all good days for starting new projects and tidying up old ones.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Others will follow your lead as the week begins, with Monday offering plenty of opportunities for teamwork and creativity under your command. Get ready to surrender the reins by midweek, though, as you take the role of listener and confidante.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Make sure you’re not stirring up unwanted trouble for yourself as the week begins. You could find yourself duped into a power struggle Monday, but a little humility will go a long way — provided you’re willing to use your diplomatic skills.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Ready to raise the stakes? Luck is on your side as the week begins, so now’s the time to bet big and take chances. Wager like you’re going to win, especially if travel or help from others is involved. As the week wears on, your luck won’t last — but don’t get frustrated. You can adapt if you just take your time and rely on that good-natured optimism of yours. Toward the end of the week, you need only ask to get what you want. Friends want to help you out, even if all you want is to go out and have a good time. This Sunday, get lost in your dreams.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You’re only frustrated as the week begins because you’re so ambitious (and optimistic!). But everybody has difficult days — and Monday is definitely one of them. Take things slow and cut your losses, because your luck will turn back around by the middle of the week.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Need a creative solution? As the week begins, you’ll find that you’ve got the imagination and insight to concoct many a brilliant plan — so have the courage to experiment and take chances! By the middle of the week, you’ll be feeling much less daring. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday see you slowing back down and getting grounded.
