ARIES (March 21–April 20): Aries, even if you start off the week on the wrong foot, you have ample time to turn it around and round out the end of the week on a sunny note.
TAURUS (April 21–May 21): Taurus, get your social obligations out of the way early in the week so you can get a little alone time. Even the most social butterfly needs to rest his or her wings.
GEMINI (May 22–June 21): Gemini, while curiosity can be perilous for cats, you should not shy away from delving in feet first when you get a curious whim. You’ll discover a lot.
CANCER (June 22–July 22): This week you’re bound to take a definitive step forward to developing the ideas you have had in your head, Cancer. Find a friend who can serve as a confidante.
LEO (July 23–Aug. 23): Leo, after a few days of introspection, you’re back and better than ever with your typical boisterous personality. Others will be clamoring to spend time with you.
VIRGO (Aug. 24–Sept. 22): Virgo, many people call you the happy helper of all zodiac signs, and it’s a title you wear well. But sometimes the helper needs a little assistance as well. Welcome it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 23): Libra, try to encourage others to warm up to your ideas. If your presentation isn’t met with enthusiasm, regroup and find a new target audience. Do not give up on plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24–Nov. 22): Scorpio, the last few weeks were good for developing the bigger picture in your career. Now you have to focus on the smaller details that will help you get what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 20): Capricorn, after several days of focusing on anyone but yourself, you are ready to retreat into the quiet and recharge. Seek out privacy whenever you can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21–Feb. 18): Aquarius, even though you have been putting in all kinds of overtime for a good cause, you have to give your personal life a little bit of time this week.
