Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Connections come easily to you Monday — you’re able to finish the sentences of perfect strangers. Some of this alertness will be obscured Tuesday and Wednesday by the metaphorical turn your thoughts take, but on Thursday through Saturday, you aren’t thinking abstractly at all.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Monday sees you considering a change in style — a different approach to the same game. This is wise. Tuesday and Wednesday find you flexing your creativity in more overtly inspired ways, and Thursday you draw on a resourceful solution to a family problem. On Friday and Saturday, you’ll continue to ponder the family situation, but Sunday is all about yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

It’s amazing when you notice the effect you have on other people. You can see it Monday, and this evidence of your inspiration in turn inspires you to go on being inspiring. Thursday through Saturday are marked by advanced ideas, thrilling discoveries and interpersonal electricity. Sunday, check up on a relative.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Your recent successes are only going to beget even more success, but not necessarily overnight. Tuesday and Wednesday, for example, you find yourself in an unlikely slump. Once you’ve accomplished something great, where do you go from there? Do something this weekend that will enable you to meet strangers.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Nothing makes sense Monday. Everyone’s acting completely absurd. There’s a strong chance no one means anything by it, and trying to decipher motives behind the madness will only drive you into further confusion. So, relax. Chances are by the end of the week you’ll see that none of it had anything to do with you anyway.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

A new idea comes your way on Monday and totally flattens you in a terrific way. Tuesday and Wednesday have nothing new to offer you, and Thursday is spent in the company of people very familiar to you. This weekend, take the initiative in a group situation and everyone will be thrilled to follow your lead.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Remember that maintaining a relationship is just as important as making money. Tuesday and Wednesday you and you-know-who are more in tune with one another, and this may be a result of your willingness to be chill. Thursday and Friday will be hectic days and you’ll feel like hurrying, but that will only rattle you.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

The pressure of everyone else’s problems weighs on you Monday. You need to give yourself a break. Try to make all your problem-solving efforts Tuesday and Wednesday related to your own problems. If you have none, relax and enjoy! Thursday through Saturday will wind you up again. Sunday is pure joy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s wonderful to be loyal, but there’s a difference between being loyal and being clingy — and it’s a crucial difference Monday. If there are any

financial dealings at issue Tuesday or Wednesday, it’s best to table them for the time being. Thursday through Saturday you should be bold about placing yourself in the path of people who know more than you do, and then open your mind and learn.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

What you say is just as important as how you say it. The details of someone’s situation are certainly more complicated than you realize, and coming on too strong will only diminish your position from where you can dispense advice. As for dispensations of other kinds, money is tight at the end of the week, so don’t go driving down the highway throwing dollar bills out the window.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Monday’s fun will come from an unlikely source — an acquaintance you haven’t invested much time in, a band you’ve never heard before, a book you’ve always meant to read. Tuesday and Wednesday have you maxed out and with little time for experimental pursuits, but Thursday and Friday offer plenty of social time.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

A radical change is on the horizon in your home life. You shouldn’t regard this the same way you’d regard a storm on the horizon: Change is good, and this change will be great.On Tuesday and Wednesday, your love life is great. You haven’t felt so engaged in a while. Thursday and Friday find you avoiding conflict and staying fit, and Saturday is a fine time to start something.
