ARIES (March 21-April 19). Attraction and repulsion may be antonyms, but they are energies that intermingle this week. Stretching into the unknown brings up tremendous fear. The thing that makes you feel queasy might actually be your best next move. You sense that things will change if you pursue your dreams, and indeed they will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Relationships have been eventful lately. The energy exchange hasn’t been all positive, and there is residue that hasn’t worn off yet. Give yourself time to process. Explore your part in things. Journal writing can help. Focus on your feelings, not on what was done or said. A Pisces could provide wise counsel.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve stated what you need and what you want to happen. But you are still acting as though you don’t expect that it will really come into being. Believe that you’re going to get your way, and make room for that occurrence. In fact, it will speed things along if you simply act as though you’ve already gotten your way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Offers will come your way, and some will try to persuade you by making you believe that you can’t afford to say no. They are hoping you won’t recognize what a strong position you’re really in. You don’t have to agree to anything you don’t want to do because you’ll be fine either way. Be confident.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As the sign of fame, you understand the aspects of popularity that leave others puzzled. For instance, why do celebrities work so hard at becoming famous so that they can hide behind sunglasses and try not to be recognized? You’ll get great publicity this week and handle it with more grace than most.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s amazing how the tiniest infraction of etiquette or ethics can hinder your happiness. You probably didn’t even do anything wrong, but if it’s not exactly right, well, something has to be done to clear the way. Forgive yourself, or ask for forgiveness from someone else so you can move on with a clear conscience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone is making a big fuss about an upcoming event. Perhaps you don’t feel like investing the same amount of effort and energy as the others. However, if you force yourself to get into the spirit of things, you’ll actually have a much better experience. Don’t be a “why?” person. Be a “why not?” person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Join with friends and colleagues to get a job done, even if you know you can do it alone. Collaborative efforts have a better chance of getting noticed, not because the quality of the end product is better, but because the P.R. will be better. The more people you have invested in a project, the more attention it will get.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Decisions and actions are practically the same thing now, as there is not a moment to spare between deciding to do something and then doing it. That’s why it’s helpful to take your time in weighing the options, researching and sorting things out in your own heart. Progress comes from knowing yourself well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Every story can be told in a way that empowers or diminishes the teller. Keep that in mind, as you’ll be asked to share part of your history. The reason might be for business or pleasure — either way, people want to know about where you’ve been and how you feel about that. Present yourself in the best light.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be called to battle on behalf of someone who hasn’t done such a great job sticking up for him or herself lately — and that person may very well be you. You’re a peaceful warrior for the most part. Still, you recognize when it’s time to gather and apply your forces toward doing what’s right for everyone involved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You didn’t ask to be a hero — not recently anyway. You were cast in the role just as soon as you started executing heroic deeds. So maybe you haven’t been rescuing people from burning buildings, but you have helped others do things like save face, meet their destinies and/or heal their hearts. You’ll be rewarded.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You have an irrefutable attitude this year, and that’s why most people don’t even bother telling you no. Since you know what you want, you don’t waste time. You approach life with vigor. Business takes off as you use your instinct to choose projects carefully. Communicate often to make sure your loved ones are on the same page. Relationships thrive because of a shared vision. Family vacations, renovations and events are laced with luck through the winter. March brings a windfall.
