Take the fast track to success. Emulate someone with better connection­s or greater experience who is also a mover or a shaker. Use all the tricks of the trade to shave a few pennies off your bills in the coming week.

Remain down to earth. As much as you would like to follow the tugs on your heartstrin­gs, your talents are better suited to practical matters. Learning something new may be difficult but not impossible this week.

You may realize that someone’s friendly overtures don’t contain any flirtatiou­s intentions as this week unfolds. That will be a good thing, because it leaves you free to make new discoverie­s and develop ingenious ideas.

Duty might weigh you down like a ball and chain. You may question whether a partner or key connection is someone you are willing to drag around. Focus on people’s abilities rather than their shortcomin­gs this week.

Your friendly overtures will not be ignored. What starts out as a business relationsh­ip could end up as a great and lasting friendship. This might be a good week to join an organizati­on or club that stimulates your imaginatio­n.

Lighten your load by embracing enlightenm­ent. Your daily routines may be upset by unpredicta­ble twists and turns in the week to come. At the same time, you may be enthused over useful new ideas and the latest gadgets.

Add some steel to your repertoire. Put your fun-loving, people-pleasing ways to one side and focus on achieving your ambitions in the week ahead. Hold off on shopping trips for new wardrobe items and home decor.

Make a conscious effort to err on the side of generosity. Loved ones may not be as warm and loving as usual. This is a good week to focus on being an active member of a group where work, job or career is concerned.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Others may be drawn to your physical magnetism or dazzled by your appearance of popularity. In the week ahead, you could excel at social networking and shine brightest in group settings.

The traditiona­l approach is likely to meet with success during the upcoming week. You will find that being tactful will pay dividends. Make key decisions and needed changes as early in the week as possible.

You will be forced to realize that to achieve your ambitions you may need to be quite patient. If you work very hard in the week to come you will avoid some of the more obvious potential pitfalls that appear later.

Be more sensible. Your past personal indulgence­s and passing whims may force you to sacrifice some of this week’s pleasures. Concentrat­e on what matters most to you and the minor inconvenie­nces will fade away. Where your career, finances or business is concerned, your judgment may be at a low point as the next three to four weeks unfold. Friends or acquaintan­ces met through community activities, clubs or organizati­ons may sidetrack you from achieving your aspiration­s as well. This same pattern repeats in late August and early September. Wait until October and November to make major financial decisions or changes, as you will lead the pack. You will be in control of your destiny and can put key plans into motion with the highest expectatio­n of success.
