ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re apt to meet some very interesting new people this week. In fact, someone you encounter is completely different from anyone you’ve ever known. Enjoy this new, fun relationship.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Steer clear of bigwigs who are obviously in a bad mood this week. It’s nothing you’ve done, so you needn’t worry. Later in the week, watch out for people who break promises.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t be afraid to try something new this week. In fact, a novel approach to a work problem is just what’s needed. As the saying goes, think outside the box.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re not in a very motivated mood as the week begins. Try to conquer this. There’s much to be done, and you’re the one to accomplish it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You could have an inspired idea this week. Don’t waste it. Be sure to write it down or flesh it out on your computer, since it will come in handy in the near future.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) While you feel secure for the most part about finances, this isn’t the week to be extravagant. In fact, look for ways to save money in the household budget. Later in the week, you reach a new agree-ment with a co-worker.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s not like you to be judgmental. However, this week, you have a tendency to do just that. Tap into your understanding side instead.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) Try not to pay too much attention to a cranky loved one. This person will have a tendency to dredge up old hurts. It’s not worth your time and effort to rehash it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Avoid making any hasty decisions this week. Jumping into some-thing without thinking first will cause you to rue the day. This weekend, domestic interests are accented.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) For the most part, this is a positive week for business and financial interests. However, that doesn’t mean you get everything done you’d set out to do. Leaving some unfinished tasks for later isn’t a bad thing, though.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) Once again, travel is on your agenda. Be sure, though, to safeguard your valuables. The latter part of the week is best for mulling over life-changing decisions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Things are looking up for you on the job. Bigwigs are smiling at your ingenious approaches to problems. This week-end, avoid a tendency to overspend.
