WEEK OF SUN, JAN. 18

ARIES Mar. 21 – Apr. 20

Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

TAURUS Apr. 21 – May 21

Taurus, there is nothing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

GEMINI May 22 – Jun. 21

Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

CANCER Jun. 22 – Jul. 22

You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that person makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

LEO Jul 23 – Aug 23

Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

VIRGO Aug 24 – Sept 22

You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo. If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

LIBRA Sept. 23 – Oct. 23

Libra, rest assured that a broken heart or bruised ego will not last too long. There are big changes ahead in your personal or professional life, so keep your eyes open.

SCORPIO Oct. 24 – Nov. 22

Taking charge comes naturally to you, Scorpio. In fact, you thrive in this role. But this week you may have to play second fiddle for the good of the team.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23 – Dec. 21

You seem to be operating on auto-pilot this week, Sagittarius. Your routine has become so ingrained that things are automatic. Make a few minor changes to liven things up.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 – Jan. 20

Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can manage, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have private time.

AQUARIUS Jan. 21 – Feb. 18

Aquarius, dissatisfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere. Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

PISCES Feb. 19 – Mar. 20

Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.
