Nov. 7-13, 2005

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Business negotiations will soon be settled. Over the next six days, respond quickly to workplace announcements concerning revised contracts, new decisions or policy changes. Job titles and team assignments may also be accented: expect managers or bosses to clarify all schedules and duties. After Wednesday, a new era of social understanding will rekindle confidence in a recently strained friendship. Offer optimism and fresh promises: your attitude will set the tone.

TAURUS (April 21-May 20) Romance and sentimental reflections may entirely captivate your thoughts this week. Monday through Wednesday, watch for a shift in love relationships: increased trust, shared intimacy and new commitments are strongly indicated. Some Taureans may also encounter important family discussions. If so, expect loved ones to ask for clarification of home plans and long-term financial goals. Don't hesitate: in the coming weeks emotional promises will work strongly in your favor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Family discussions and business ambition are highlighted over the next 6 days. After Monday, many Geminis will receive powerful insights into their own workplace behavior or recent lack of confidence. Discuss all proposed contracts with loved ones: suggestions from friends and lovers will now bring valuable wisdom. Later this week, social invitations may be quickly canceled. Take none of it personally: at present, friends and relatives may need extra time for quiet reflection.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Friends and business associates may this week be outspoken and self-involved. Before mid-week, expect new information to arrive concerning the recent conduct of a friend or colleague. Gossip, workplace announcements and intimate discussions between friends will not bring the desired results. Remain dedicated to original goals: at present, workplace disputes will not be easily resolved. Late Friday, a romantic invitation may trigger minor jealousies: don't confront.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Someone close may this week ask for a firm commitment or clarification of long-term intentions. Over the next few days, relationships will enter an active stage: expect loved ones to be supportive but no longer willing to wait for subtle indications. After mid-week, financial planning is on the agenda. Communicate ideas in a clear and concise manner: new plans need serious consideration. Late Saturday, social insights and romantic intuitions are accurate: stay focused.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Business contacts from distant family members may this week arrive without warning. After Tuesday, expect a series of calls or messages concerning financial opportunities, travel plans or family announcements to demand response. In the coming weeks many Virgos may be asked to clarify the financial risks, long-term investments or business aspirations of a relative or trusted friend. Listen closely to all family concerns: home relations will improve with open discussion.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Loved ones or close friends are this week prone to moodiness and introspective. Although annoying, self-involved brooding will not be permanent: if possible, avoid serious discussions and rare romantic power struggles. Thursday through Saturday, unusual business mistakes may be revealed through financial records or transactions. Watch paperwork closely for complex legal restrictions or poorly defined terms. Clarity will prove vital to success: expect fast agreement.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 21) Over the next eight days, new business confidence and open romantic discussions will trigger important changes. Outdated ideas and annoying social obligations will fade but may eventually be replaced by unusual ultimatums or rare requests. Stay open to fresh insights or sudden instincts: a new direction and singularity of purpose is needed in all close relationships. After Friday, family activities prove meaningful: spend extra time with loved ones or isolated friends.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) Recent workplace mistakes are no longer relevant: after Tuesday, expect strained business relations and outstanding errors to be steadily resolved. Go slow, however: competing egos or poorly defined partnerships may still be a lingering distraction. Some Sagittarians may also experience a sharp rise in memories, nostalgia and family reflection. If so, discuss all social observations, subtle power struggles or home decisions with loved ones: the past needs to fade.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) Friendships and group activities may this week involve a subtle competition for attention. After Wednesday, close friends may no longer be willing to maintain a reserved or quiet approach to social events. Some Capricorns may also encounter the return of an old friend or distant lover. If so, expect short-term complications, quickly cancelled plans and powerful memories. Refuse to repeat unproductive patterns: this is not the right time to challenge the loyalties of loved ones.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 19) Monday through Wednesday, spend extra time aligning financial priorities and long-term business goals. Many Aquarians will now begin a brief period of confusing money information and revised work routines. Don't hold back: greater confidence and a fresh employment perspective will soon be the result. Later this week, a friend or lover may request career advice. In the coming weeks, new job options and added information may arrive without warning: encourage further research.

PISCES (February 20-March 20) Job proposals and new business ventures will this week begin active negotiations. Study documents thoroughly and expect key officials to offer faulty information. Some Pisceans will also experience a sudden increase in work duties or a renewed interest in financial performance, management and group leadership. After Friday, a close friend or relative may openly discuss private family disagreements or delayed romantic decisions. Stay alert: there's much to learn.

If your birthday is this week: Plan unique social encounters with new friends over the next five weeks. Planetary alignments indicate that meaningful friendships and complex romantic commitments are now easily established. Use this time to change outdated patterns in love relationships and foster greater understanding between friends. After mid-January, a long-term friend may enable an unusual business introduction. If so, expect a new job offer before mid-February and rapid progress in the areas of financial planning, legal services or management. March through late April also accent powerful romantic promises and renewed sensuality. Remain attentive to small details and fast choices: much of 2006 will usher in reliable career partnerships and passionate social relationships.
