Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

You’ll find yourself feeling unusually outgoing and optimistic as the week begins. Don’t be surprised to find opportunities for creative ideas and plans.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

From Monday through Tuesday afternoon, your willpower and assertiveness will shift into overdrive and it’s a good time for making commitments and signing on the dotted line.

Expect your hidden talents to come into play later this week.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

You’ll find your managerial skills in demand as the week begins. Midweek, you’ll find yourself overwhelmed by a flood of new ideas.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

On Monday and Tuesday, you’ll blow away the competition and others will look on admiringly. Midweek, your ambitions will find even broader support.

Saturday and Sunday, think before you speak.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You know what you want as the week begins, so go ahead and go after it. Expect others to admire your accomplishments, but going into Tuesday afternoon and through Thursday, try to ease back on your own ego. Others might be

looking for a chance to butt heads and your pride could lead you into conflict.
