Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You can make a good time out of almost any situation as the week begins — so don’t be bashful about getting others in on the game. Tuesday and Wednesday should take a decidedly more serious slant, as your attention turns to your reputation. In any case, it’s a good time to show off and collect deserved praise. From Thursday afternoon through Saturday, friends will look to you to lead the way on some collective effort.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

You’ll be filled with conviction and a sense of purpose Monday, and you’ll know exactly what to do. Tuesday through Thursday morning, you’ll shift into a more philosophical mode, as you seek out other similarly soul-seeking people to bat around big ideas and try to tune into the big picture. Later on, expect a return to life’s finer, more pragmatic details.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

It’s all about compromise as the week begins, so be cautious in your one-on-one relationships. Whatever you bring to the table will be multiplied and returned. Midweek, your natural diplomacy will shine. Others will look to you to give advice and settle disputes — and don’t be surprised if they’re impressed.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Try to pitch in and help out as the week begins. Others will look to you for assistance Monday, and you’ll feel a strong emotional pull to do the right thing. Starting Tuesday and into Thursday morning, you’ll need to strike a balance in your relationships. Flexibility and compromise are key, but just make sure you don’t wimp out and give up too much.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You’re full of verve and vitality Monday, and you can accomplish almost anything — at work, at home or in your love life. Midweek, your communication skills are without equal — you can get your point across clearly and persuasively, and no argument is too subtle or complex. Later on, you’ll want to daydream and philosophize, but you’ll have a hard time getting in deep.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Don’t let your worries get the better of you as this week begins. Midweek, everything will get much easier. You’ll be free with your feelings and fast with ideas — and others won’t hesitate to let you know how much you’re appreciated. Later this week, you’ll need to avoid flighty people and cut to the chase if you want to get things done.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

You’re positively electric Monday, coursing with ideas and imagination. Splash out artistically — and don’t be surprised if your experiments lead to big discoveries. Excitement won’t come so easily midweek. But don’t fret — you’re never at a loss for a crazy plan, and you can keep yourself entertained with just a little effort.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Show some caution as the week begins. Things might not be what they seem Monday, and you might need to solve a puzzle or two to get to the bottom of things. Midweek, you’ll be speaking the language of love, in poetry, love letters, or maybe even just romantic text messages. Expect positive replies. Don’t let the lack of clarity get you down later this week.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

You can use a superhuman burst of speed and spontaneity to get ahead Monday. You’ll find obstacles blocking your progress midweek. You can still persevere — you just need to work a little harder and put your charms to good use. From the latter part of Thursday on through to Saturday, get your ideas and arguments across any way you can.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

As the week begins, you’ll be unusually antsy — but if you don’t want to blow your budget, you’ll need to resist those impulses Monday. On Tuesday, Wednesday and early Thursday, you’ll get back into your groove and all your best qualities will be magnified. Count on others to notice and be impressed.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Start the week off with some good advice from friends. You’ll need that guidance going into Tuesday and Wednesday, as you’re faced with unusual obstacles and unclear expectations. From Thursday afternoon through Saturday, everything blocking your way will vanish. You’ll have extraordinary energy and the kind of fun, flirtatious attitude that will liven up any room.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Think before you act as the week begins. You’ll be tempted to fly off the handle Monday, but a more measured approach is in order. On Tuesday and Wednesday, that mental and emotional haste will be a big benefit, as your quick wit and crazy ideas win you applause and admiration. Expect to be the life of the party. Later this week, you might feel overwhelmed by pesky details.
