Aries

 

The preparations have been made. The pans are greased. The stove is fired up. It's time to do your thing. You may need to call in some assistance when the going gets tough, but some people love to help. No matter what happens on Tuesday, keep a clear head. Stay grounded. On Wednesday and Thursday, your perseverance is richly rewarded -- someone may even pin a blue ribbon on your lapel. It may fall off on Friday, since the end of the week is going to bring some frustrations. Don't worry -- they're minor compared to your successes. Sunday, you're a star.

 

Taurus

 

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a tree? To be so grounded, healthy and tall? You'll get an inkling of this feeling on Monday and Tuesday. People will want to sit near you. They'll regard you with awe. Wednesday and Thursday someone may regard you with something other than awe -- it may feel like they're coming at you with branch cutters and leaf shearers. Hold your own in a dignified way, and don't let them get to you. On Friday, the world will be righted again. Spend Saturday and Sunday in the comfortable company of your favorite people.

 

Gemini

 

Finding the answer to a question you have on Monday requires some detective work. You spend the day (and Tuesday, too) collecting clues and dusting for fingerprints -- all metaphorically, of course. You're attempting to bring out the truth. Wednesday and Thursday you're very influenced by the theories and perspectives of others; a conversation about someone's opinions has the added benefit of unearthing a lot of facts. Friday and Saturday are paradoxical: The clearer things become, the more questions you have -- internal questions regarding your future. Spend Sunday mulling.

 

Cancer

 

That elephant in the room? Maybe you should deal with it because it's starting to be demanding. It's distracting you. Monday and Tuesday, addressing issues directly is the way to go. What do you have to be embarrassed about? Wednesday and Thursday you're buoyed by your newfound confidence, but the challenge is to get everyone else around you to address problems directly, as you're doing. Try to get them to be connected, rather than aloof, and to call a spade a spade. By Friday, you're tired of other people and may want to end the week with a pizza and a rented movie. But Sunday's a riot.

 

Leo

 

You have enough self-respect to hold off until you get what you want. Others may interpret this as arrogance, to which you should reply, 'What's wrong with having standards?' Listen to their advice, thank them for their love and then do whatever you feel is right. By midweek, you open up to the idea of flexibility, but your non-negotiable issues are still non-negotiable. The end of the week (Friday especially), you're consumed with research. Find out more about this person. Don't make a decision until you're sure of the facts. A big piece of the puzzle falls into place on Sunday.

 

Virgo

 

You have an arsenal of tools, but your creativity is the most useful at the start of the week. Your recent projects have been attracting attention -- good attention -- and, if you're single, you might not be much longer. You're also ambitious in other realms. By midweek, your regular way of doing things starts to seem both inefficient and boring; a new method for approaching the usual routine is in order. On Friday, resist the urge to be critical of a good friend, and find a way to be supportive. Then, on Sunday, when someone else is critical of you, shrug. Deep down, you know what's what.

 

Libra

 

What's with this sense of imbalance? Why is your home life so weird right now? It's enough to give you vertigo. It's also making you a bit sentimental. On Tuesday, no matter what's going on in the present, your mind is dwelling on the past. There's only one solution: romance. You need something fiery to distract you, to bring you into the now. Luckily, romance figures into Wednesday and Thursday, and beauty -- everyday beauty -- plays a major role on Friday, too. The weekend begins a bit frantically (Saturday is chaos), but ends with smooching (sweet, sweet Sunday).

 

Scorpio

 

Don't be deterred. Don't let them tell you it's impossible. It's not impossible. When you set your mind to something, pianos raining from the sky couldn't get in your way. That said, make Tuesday an exercise in modesty, and recognize that Wednesday, when things don't go your way at home, is just a hiccup on your path toward grandeur. Sometimes things at home don't go exactly right. No big deal. Conflicting ideas on Thursday lead to a more complex outlook on a problem, and Friday and Saturday are charged with innovation. Sunday is in your hands.

 

Sagittarius

 

You're interested in art and music on Monday and Tuesday, but you're more focused on keeping your cash in your wallet. Music and art can tax the money flow, unfortunately. Find a way to do what you want without spending too much dough and you'll be very happy. On Wednesday and Thursday, the way to have fun without spending a lot is to strike up wild conversations with people you don't know. The stories they tell! The things you learn! You spend Friday sorting your thoughts and letting your brain expand, spongelike. Saturday and Sunday are fun in a juvenile, goofy way.

 

Capricorn

 

How you got to be so lucky, you'll never know. (At least, you'll never tell, because you're modest -- truth is, it has a lot to do with how hard you work.) Monday and Tuesday are defined by the accolades people bestow on you. Their support gives you lots of energy, and that energy, in turn, inspires you to change your approach to work or school on Wednesday and Thursday. Suddenly, you're the brilliant one. You're the funny one. You're the one everyone wants to be like. Use your creativity to your advantage on Friday and Saturday. Then, Sunday, collapse on the couch after a week done well.

 

Aquarius

 

People's motivations are not always apparent. The world hurdles forward in mysterious ways. You're not sure why things are happening in a certain way on Monday and Tuesday, but the mere fact that you're thinking about such questions places you ahead of the pack. Wednesday and Thursday are inspiring. The excitement you get from a small discovery makes you crave still more great finds, and your enthusiasm infects others. Friday and Saturday, you're constantly dissecting the difference between fantasy and reality. Sunday is positively electric.

 

Pisces

 

The group needs a leader -- this much is obvious -- and all eyes are on you. The group needs a lot of things, you realize, which is what any true leader would recognize. There are also other reasons why you might be the right person for the job. Reluctantly, you agree. On Wednesday and Thursday, you long to help anyone you can. You want to change the world. It's hard to focus on the entire world, though; you might scale back your ambitions and focus on doing a few small things well. Friday and Saturday, you're trying new things, running ideas up flag poles and making calls. Sunday offers exciting challenges.
