ARIES

During the week ahead you may realize who has truly been your friend during the past few weeks. The fact that someone only sits on the sidelines does not mean they are not trustworthy.

You may want more than you get this week. Don’t be disappointed if a budding relationship doesn’t fulfill your wildest dreams. Be happy if you have made a new friend.

You will not be at a loss for words in the week to come. You may be more imaginative than usual and find it easy to voice your inner musings. Intuition may win out over logic.

You will intuitively do the right thing when meeting with friends or business associates this week. Sympathy and kindness are good tools to use to help people understand different perspectives.

In the week ahead you may be inspired by a partner or longtime companion to achieve material success. You may become fascinated by the things that other people own.

Those in close connection probably have your best interests at heart. Fleeting doubts are only natural, but don’t let these minor worries undermine a solid relationship in the week ahead.

Restrain yourself. A romantic relationship might be based on the thrill of the chase. Your ardor might not be matched if you attempt to put the moves on the latest heartthrob this week. Compromise becomes you. You know how to honey-coat your words so that even your most uncharitable adversary will be convinced by your sincerity. Avoid impulsive spending this week.

Fight against frittering away your financial security. Put small economies into place during the week ahead to achieve stability. Friends may tempt you to excessive spending.

Take time to brew an idea the old-fashioned way. Although you want a goal achieved as quickly as making a cup of instant coffee, you may need extra thinking time this week.

Hook up with those who meet your high standards. Career, schoolwork, job or business can make heavy demands, but can also provide bountiful rewards as the week unfolds.

Enjoy nourishment, not nonsense. You won’t build muscle on a steady diet of candy. Useful ideas are created this week through stimulating conversation and a diet of empowering information. Your romantic nature could lead you to embrace unrealistic plans and ideas over the next six to seven weeks. Your gullibility makes you an easy mark for the unscrupulous. In May your feet are back on the ground and you might be better equipped to handle career and monetary affairs. Start nothing new in July, when you may be called upon to fulfill your obligations faithfully. Make crucial financial decisions or investments during August or November, when your business sense is at its best. Be as self-disciplined as possible, even if you are restless and unsure of your prospects. Late September or early October is a time when you can take a delightful vacation or have a carefree fling.
