Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

People love chatting with you, but your chatting time Monday through Wednesday is crowded out by more pressing tasks. The best way to get through this week is narrowing your aim and strike quickly at everything. As you check things off your list, your momentum will build and you’ll get more done than you ever thought possible.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

The fires of your romantic life are burning so brightly Monday through Wednesday that you can’t see anything else. If you could spend every hour of the week with this person, you would, but Thursday has something else in store for you: a lot of responsibilities to see through. Friday finds you tending to some long overlooked chores as well.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

The start of the week — through Wednesday — you are busy but not particularly ambitious socially. A sense of uncertainty weighs heavily on you, at least until Thursday, when an unexpected romantic development puts a smile on your face. Expect the grin to last through Friday.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Taking the first few days of the week step-by-step is the best way to survive the frantic — albeit fun — times. On Tuesday and Wednesday, if you find yourself flirting with someone, make yourself clear. This is also crucial Thursday or Friday, but the people you’ll be dealing with will most likely be family members. Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Monday through Wednesday are not great days to make major decisions about the future of your cash. In the present tense, cash will be uncharacteristically flying out of your pockets. Hanging out with someone and talking for hours is the best use of your Friday night. Saturday and Sunday, romance and art are prominent themes.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Chatting, handshaking and even flirting take up your week until Thursday, when money concerns distract you from your social life. Friday is a high point in your week — you’ve gotten a lot done. Saturday and Sunday are fun, friend-filled and active.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Your wild side is coming through at the start of the week and people are responding well to it. You are the kind of person who makes an impact. Let your creative brilliance solve whatever conundrums are puzzling the people around you. Toward the middle of the week, your mind fills with possibilities for the future. This is a time for new beginnings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A party is a fine place to get some things figured out. You and your friends have a casual rapport that strikes fairly deeply, shorthand that lets you talk about weighty issues with lightness and humor. You are constantly impressed by these friends, especially Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday your chest swells with contentment. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

If you’re not a mathematician, work extra hard to be logical and reasonable when dealing with whatever comes your way as the week begins. That said, be as warm as possible when communicating with others. On Thursday and Friday, largely because you’re giving off good vibes, a family event you’ve been dreading turns out to be a blast.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

A desire to experience new things is strong Monday through Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, you have little time to acquire information, what with all the things everyone else needs from you; but even in your most trying moments you have an eye on the beauty around you. The weekend offers plenty of time to be around friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

On Monday or Tuesday, being careful is key. Don’t let any minor details escape your attention Wednesday. On Thursday, the tension finally breaks and you can rely more on your wits. Sometimes it’s a lot more fun to go along for the ride than to be the person setting the course.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Some people like to sit on the porch and talk about their dreams. You’d rather march into the world and realize yours. The second half of the week, you’re more open to other people, but you’d still be wise to follow your mood. If that means building a fort with couch cushions, crawling in with a book and shutting out the rest of the world, so be it.
