Aries (March 21-April 19): Savor close personal ties in the week ahead and concentrate on protecting joint assets. Circumstances could force you to part with a few hard-earned pennies, but don’t jump into a spending spree.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Walk the middle path in the week to come. It is easy to go to extremes of emotion if you compete for someone’s affections. Don’t let a fleeting obsession blind you to the facts. Possessiveness can cause a rift.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Hold your horses. The next several days are not the best time to negotiate, make a business decision, or start a new project. Wait until the second half of the week to obtain cooperation.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):Impulsiveness or recklessness could make a job more difficult or a health problem worse. In the week ahead, adopting a rational approach will ensure that demonstrations of love and affection are valid.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Actions speak louder than words in the week ahead, when career and business are concerned. If you are in search of fame and fortune, know that power shifts can put the spotlight on you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In the week ahead, ignore an itch to make adjustments to plans or to impulsively challenge a loved one. The grapevine might buzz about you or a significant other, but it is all good news.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tread water if a major commitment of loyalty or money is on the table. Delay making major financial decisions or transactions until the second half of the week.

Play it cool, since a decision about a relationship or commitment could backfire.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):The unpredictability of others could make you uncomfortable in the week ahead. By staying calm, rational, and eventempered, you can win brownie points on the career front and maintain peace at home.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A fresh sense of purpose and a new cycle of accomplishment may commence as this week unfolds. Your strength lies in your adept touch with finances and an ability to adjust to quickly changing scenarios.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Treat others with the same respect and consideration that you would like to be shown in return. Get bills paid today to avoid mix-ups or criticism later in the week. A key relationship might experience ups and downs.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Turn on the cruise control and just “keep on trucking.” Don’t make any sudden changes, stops, or starts in the week ahead. Opposition to your plans or a temporary roadblock can prevent you from making headway. if August 6 is your birthday: Go for the gold during the next three to four weeks, as your competitiveness is at a high point and you can respond to challenges with aplomb. You may be motivated to be more businesslike or grow more ambitious in October and November. That is a good time to re-evaluate your investment strategies or to formulate insightful moneymaking tactics. Put your most important plans in motion during December or January, when everyone is more helpful than usual and you can make headway with career or relationships. It is best to back away from business and focus on group activities and creative pastimes in January and February.
