ARIES (March 21-April 19): You won’t need extra vitamins to forge ahead in the week to come. You might catch the eye of someone who shares fresh and stimulating ideas. Watch your bank account as there could be a mistake or error.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You believe the best of everyone but may believe in the impossible. An inclination to give chase to ephemeral dreams needs to be curbed in the week ahead. Be aware that some promises won’t be kept.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone’s optimistic. Glass-half-full view of the world leaves you begging to find an artesian well of neverending bliss to call your own. You may be distracted by something of doubtful value as this week unfolds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Those in close connection might be focused and determined to succeed while you prefer to taste for the finer things in life. A subtle shift of opinion occurs this week, which you can use to positively influence results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may go to extremes to attain your dreams. Since your confidence is soaring in the week ahead you may spend your money freely. To keep the peace at any cost you might choose to be less competitive and lose out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might be more concerned with being attractive and liked than making an impression in the business world. Your loved one may be more romantic than usual and full of fun in the upcoming week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go for your goals. You may be stimulated by a desire for financial success so perform superlative work in the week ahead. You could put too much energy into pursuing extravagant and unnecessary expenditures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Embrace inspiration. You can solidify your hopes and dreams because you are filled with creative imagination. Boy meets girl chemistry can create an unbreakable alloy or a supportive ally in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Write down your ideas so they will be on hand when needed in the future. People who have fought long and hard to achieve a position of prominence might offer you words of wisdom in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Inspire rather than conspire. You will impress others in the week ahead if your financial plans and strategies are transparent and aboveboard. Airing your ideas can unlock a door previously closed to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are flirtatious and friendly this week, so someone may think you are serious about having a relationship. Don’t follow through on a passing fancy unless you are willing to give it your undivided attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are in danger of being too easy-going so that you lose ground in a business matter or on the job. Being cooperative might get you in the door, but you must focus on upgrading your own future happiness, too.

IF AUGUST 5 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You have extra energy at your disposal during the upcoming two to three weeks that will help you tackle physical tasks. Your ambitions have every chance to become a reality, but it is best to set plans in motion or formulate a viable game plan in September when your judgment and vision is enhanced. This is a time when significant opportunities can come your way and when you can make progress on both the material and spiritual planes. You must remain vigilant in January when you could be led on a romantic or financial wild goose chase. You may be so distracted by the new carrot that is offered that you could wander off course. Don’t ignore your responsibilities or evade obligations. Next March and April you will do better with business than with pleasure.
