horoscopes

ARIES ing anyone. That said, by Wednesday, you'll be rushing all around. People who send you long, gushing emails will get a one-sentence response. Friends or coworkers who want an in-depth discussion of the details on Thursday will have to wait for a better day. Lucky Numbers: 4, 14, 40

TAURUS Energy levels are high on Monday, and you and your friends are tighter than ever. You've been longing for romance lately, and you're going to be treated to some on Tuesday. Decadence, affection, and sex appeal all figure strongly. Check you out! The second half of the week finds you distracted (it's pretty obvious why) and feeling out of character. Someone's on you to sign a legal document on Thursday. Don't. An impulse buy at a department store tempts you. Resist. Lucky Numbers: 4, 9, 10

GEMINI The obstacle that plops down in your path on Monday may shake you up a bit, but stay the course. Focus. You knew there would be obstacles, but they're just part of the fun. Tuesday surrounds you with talkative people, but all you feel like doing is standing back and listening. By Wednesday, though, you're ready to join in on the conversations. Lucky Numbers: 16, 24, 42

CANCER A big lunch on Monday fills your belly and puts a huge smile on your face. You are deliriously happy around other people these days, even family members, especially when food is involved. A social dinner on Tuesday isn't a bad idea. On Wednesday and Thursday, you have your sights set on wilder, more ambitious ways of spending your time. You are in the mood for adventure; you are in the mood to buck authority. Don't resist this positive impulse. Lucky Numbers: 8, 23, 31

LEO As much as you'd like to be spending the day in the park, Monday is all about work: your career, your standing, stuff like that. Your reputation is on the up-and-up, in fact, and you feel like something of a celebrity on Tuesday. The circle of people around you is constantly lavishing you with praise, so put that circle of people to good use. Lucky Numbers: 8, 10, 40

VIRGO Your head opens up on Monday, and you have visions of far-off lands. And you start thinking improbably about philosophy. And you try to devise new excuses to express yourself to people. On Tuesday, these impulses graduate into outright soul-searching. Research and analysis suddenly seem fun to you on Wednesday, and a logic puzzle captures your imagination. Lucky Numbers: 3, 11, 24

LIBRA Beauty hits you over the head on Monday. It's everywhere. If you're in the middle of a romantic courtship, this is going to be a meaningful week. If you're not in the middle of a romantic courtship...well, wait a few days. Who knows? Tuesday is like a duet between you and you-know-who, and Wednesday is suited for deep communication. Try to go out and experience what the world has to offer you and your special someone on Thursday and Friday. Lucky Numbers: 16, 37, 56

SCORPIO Ah, the old give-and-take. An opponent may be a stronger force than you on Monday, but this is not an arm-wrestling competition. Ceding a minor victory at this point could be the key to getting what you want at a later date. Boldness and bravery are key on Tuesday as well. But in all your valiance, don't ignore the fine print this week, especially on Wednesday and Thursday. Lucky Numbers: 3, 17, 33

SAGITTARIUS You and your best friend are attached to each other, at least by phone, at the start of the week. Communication is key. How else are you going to get everything done? You see the value in having a trusted pal, and so does your trusted pal. By Wednesday, though, you start wondering if less talk and more action is in order. (It is in order. You're right.) Lucky Numbers: 5, 8, 10

CAPRICORN On Monday, you're dreaming of the woods: camping, trees, crackling fire. You might not be able to dart off into a forest any time soon, but do your best to spend some time in an environment that in some way relaxes you. Lucky Numbers: 3, 11, 28

AQUARIUS You are not one to spend a lot of time looking back, but at the start of the week your head is in the history books. Or it's in some of your old journals. Or you're asking an old relative a lot of prying questions. Something tells you there are relevant lessons for you somewhere in the past, and you're right. Lucky Numbers: 6, 8, 26

PISCES Love and beauty abound at the beginning of the week: romantic notes, poetry, artwork, delicious dinners, you get the picture. If you're single, this energy may manifest itself in a few days of incredible creativity. Creativity will carry you through the week, actually, although Wednesday and Thursday are days of business and mutability. The moment you finish building a house of cards, someone breezes into the room and topples it. Alas...life. Lucky Numbers: 29, 38, 51
