Feb. 21-27, 2005

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Love relationships require diplomacy and special sensitivity this week. After Monday, romantic partners or potential lovers may feel drained by recent family events or unexpected home disputes. Offer creative social distractions or unique leisure activities; at present, optimism and a steady dedication to group planning will be helpful. Friday through Sunday, accent minor financial strains or late arriving debts. Remain patient: a long-term approach will yield the desired results.

TAURUS (April 21-May 20) Business skills and daily instructions are now a source of workplace concern. Over the next eight days, close colleagues may demand equal treatment, new opportunities or quick advancements. Avoid controversy and allow authority figures to negotiate all disputes: this is not the right time to challenge the needs of the bold or impatient types. After Friday, long-term relationships begin an unexpected phase of passion, social change and new expression: stay open to all proposals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Before mid-week, home expenses and minor financial setbacks are bothersome. Some Geminis will soon feel pressured to revise family budgets, begin new investment strategies or finalize property documents. All are positive but also legally complicated: study written documents for unrealistic deadlines or hidden restrictions. Wednesday through Saturday, a close friend may become briefly flirtatious. Go slow: unethical attractions and sensuality may be unavoidable.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Older friends or relatives will this week discuss revised career ambitions. An intense wave of workplace disappointment now needs to be resolved: after Tuesday, expect complex social or family relationships to require detailed practical decisions. Offer business advice and watch for steady progress: your approval and continuing support is needed. Friday through Sunday, loved ones may be unusually thoughtful. If so, expect new emotional or family roles to soon emerge.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Romantic decisions are best delayed this week. Over the next eight days, complex relationships and quickly revised goals may challenge the traditional expectations of family members. Wait for close friends and relatives to ask probing questions: loved ones may now need to vent their feelings or express strong opinions. Friday through Sunday, minor health issues affecting the skin, digestion or intestines may be bothersome. New fitness regimes are needed: stay active.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Monday through Wednesday, a past relationship may reappear. If so, remain quietly detached and expect ongoing social triangles for the next 11 days. After Thursday, a minor disagreement with co-workers may escalate. Unexpected jealousies or a rare competition for job promotions may be at issue. Avoid public discussions, if possible, and expect others to offer misinformation. Business relationships will improve after authority figures announce new work roles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Over the next few days, group plans may be postponed. At present, friends and colleagues are easily distracted with family events, new friendships or romantic invitations. Take none of it personally: intriguing relationships, sultry proposals and social activities will soon prove entertaining. Remain optimistic and all will be well. After Friday, authority figures may challenge the needs or statements of co-workers. Private politics are involved: refuse to be derailed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) This week, long-term relationships begin a phase of serious communications, group planning and social expansion. Loved ones are now motivated to bring added commitments or security into their lives. Single Scorpios may encounter the return of a past lover or distant friend. If so, remain cautious: passions and expectations will be high. Friday through Sunday, a job proposal from approximately 12 weeks ago may reappear. If so, financial promises are valid: remain open.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) First impressions will this week set the tone of new friendships. After Wednesday, the emotional influence of bold social discussions and complicated workplace triangles may tend to linger. Avoid a strong public reaction to inappropriate comments or behavior: someone close may need extra time to develop confidence or establish trust. Friday through Sunday, an older relative may announce controversial business or career changes. Encourage optimism: tensions may be high.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Workplace strategies and leadership style now need improvement. After mid-week, co-workers will not respond to instructions or controversial ideas without first checking with authority figures. Find creative ways to increase group participation: patient determination and gentle diplomacy will help clarify difficult business relationships. Thursday through Saturday, a close friend may feel temporarily disillusioned with recent family decisions. Stay focused: there’s much to discuss.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) Housing decisions, financial applications and legal documents will this week demand your full attention. A series of family disputes or money restrictions now needs to be resolved. Respond quickly to all requests or critical observations and expect loved ones to follow your example. Honest discussion will bring the desired results. After Wednesday, a complex social or romantic relationship may need to end. Openly challenge all unproductive patterns and all will be well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Early this week, new friendships may be complicated with subtle romantic triangles or private attractions. Ensure your long-term intentions are clearly understood by the group. Over the next few days, emotional signals are easily misinterpreted: avoid familiar or inappropriate behavior, if possible, and wait for social jealousies to fade. Friday through Sunday, a friend or colleague may propose controversial business plans. Stay alert: financial creativity will soon prove invaluable.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: Loved ones may challenge new career, financial or educational strategies over the next four months. Remain determined, however, and expect added research to provide encouragement. Much of 2005 will bring unique business opportunities in the form of partnerships, shared expenses or creative investments: this is an excellent time to revise long-term financial plans, initiate business relationships or expand job skills. After June 19th, watch also for a dramatic change to family dynamics, romantic expectations or social commitments. Someone close may soon demand concrete promises and bold public statements. New relationships, after August 23rd, may also be affected: remain dedicated to your own needs and all will be well.
