ARIES (March 21-April 20) Minor romantic attractions will prove distracting over the next five days. After Tuesday, workplace flirtations are positive but short-lived: enjoy fresh activities with trusted friends or colleagues but avoid serious emotional promises. In the coming weeks, loved ones or close relatives need and deserve your continuing support: stay focused on trusted relationships. Later this week, a legal or financial mistake will require bold decisions. Remain determined: your first instincts are valid.

TAURUS (April 21-May 20) Previously silent family members may this week offer a candid description of their long-term aspirations. Stay focused on short-term gains and expect home relations to steadily improve in the coming weeks. After mid-week, loved ones are willing to address private concerns, debate controversial decisions or take on greater home responsibilities. Provide encouragement: your response to unusual suggestions and ability to be supportive will be carefully scrutinized.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Employment contracts and temporary assignments will require careful diplomacy over the next five days. Workplace ethics, relations with younger colleagues and public information may be a key concern. New suggestions or ongoing mistakes will not be tolerated: remain loyal to established procedures and avoid creative speculation. After Friday, a long-term relationship may experience new levels of trust or intimacy. Encourage loved ones to express their private feelings: all is well.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) A recent wave of isolation or private doubt will now fade from long-term friendships. Although key relationships are emotionally scattered, expect friends or lovers to provide reassurance and consistent short-term support. Public displays of affection, new suggestions and sincere discussions will prove rewarding: remain open to rare romantic overtures. Friday through Sunday highlight employment options and new sources of income. Stay alert: much is changing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An insecure or shy colleague may this week request special assistance. Complicated relations with customers, public relations or difficult clients may a central theme. Encourage independent problem solving. At present, your guidance and emotional support will prove invaluable. Remain dedicated to individual accomplishment and all will be well. After Wednesday, a new era of social expansion and group optimism arrives. Carefully consider all new options: change is healthy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Many Virgos will this week experience a resurgence of physical fitness and emotional vitality. Over the next few days, expect digestive ailments, skin irritations or minor infections to fade. Plan unique social events and ask family members for special permissions. Home obligations and long-term friendships will soon expand. After Thursday, an unexpected flirtation or new attraction may quickly escalate. Avoid social triangles, if possible: competing loyalties may be bothersome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Sudden job assignments and team mistakes will this week demand special planning. Over the next five days, authority figures will defer to your judgment but avoid offering meaningful credit. Refuse to be derailed: close colleagues will soon respond well to new instruction, group dedication and a genuine display of loyalty. Later this week, someone close may reveal unusual family or romantic problems. Remain silent: your insights and advice will not inspire change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Romantic planning, new family ideals and improved home relations will soon offer powerful rewards. Loved ones may this week ask for your full attention and daily devotion. Don't disappoint. Although emotional obligations are intense, long-term commitments are promising: respond positively to sudden proposals. After mid-week, work discussions may cause tension. At present, older colleagues may feel mildly threatened by new ideas: remain quietly detached.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Financial mistakes from approximately 10 weeks ago may now reoccur. After Tuesday, expect key officials to ask for detailed records and timely explanations. Study documents thoroughly for missed deadlines or faulty calculations. In the coming weeks, errors left uncorrected will quickly escalate out of control. Finalize all postponed agreements, if possible. Friday through Sunday, accent compelling dream images and fast intuitions. Romantic insight is on the rise: stay open.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Early this week, long-term relationships begin an intense phase of emotional negotiation. After Monday, close relatives or romantic partners may feel emotionally isolated. Much of this is a passing mood, so not to worry. Do, however, expect minor dramatics and quick outbursts in the home. Remain calm. New rules will soon be established. Wednesday through Saturday, job and financial resources increase. Pay attention to new partnerships: rewards will prove meaningful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) Before mid-week, a close colleague or long-term may friend ask for private loyalty. Delicate relations with officials, costly mistakes or workplace triangles may be involved. Offer quiet encouragement and avoid group discussions, if possible. Your respect for the sensitive emotions of others will be greatly appreciated. Stay balanced. Friday through Sunday, a romantic partner or close relative may probe for concrete promises. Remain cautious: passions will be high.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Business advancement, revised contracts and sudden promotions are accented over the next few days. Reluctant managers or pessimistic co-workers may relinquish control of key projects. Offer assistance and expect new assignments in the coming weeks: hidden politics or private decisions will soon be revealed. After Wednesday, a close friend or new romantic partner may propose a rare celebration or unexpected travel plans. Stay focused: your response is important.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: Ask close relatives, mentors or business officials for unique financial favors over the next seven weeks. Before mid-November, many Virgos will experience a rare window of opportunity for dramatic business expansion, new partnerships, lucrative investments or career advancement. Government funding, large corporations and sponsorship are also accented: file all applications or documents before November 6th and all will be well. Early in 2006, a powerful wave of social and romantic awareness is also due to arrive. Relationships that need to leave your life will do so before mid-March. Take time to fully explain your motives and long-term aspirations to loved ones or potential romantic partners. June through mid-August, respond decisively to new employment proposals: your confidence will be noticed and appreciated.
