Aries
You will have two options, essentially. One will fulfill an immediate desire and one will cash out much later. You will not feel satisfied with either one, but will find it necessary to compromise. The weather brings up some melancholy feelings you can't seem to shake.

Taurus
When all else fails, you have your old-fashioned smarts to fall back on. Should you feel a creative block this week, much of that will have to do with your own feelings about what other people see. To everyone else, you continue to turn in great stuff.

Gemini
A recent conversation caused you to re-evaluate the choices you've made. Unlike what you've been thinking all this time, you are not destined to live out the rest of your life suffering. Your next moves aren't going to be easy, but not many real changes in life are. Adjustments are always necessary.

Cancer
You'll be unable to keep a secret. And once a wrinkle is caused in your life, you will find it nearly impossible to get the rug straight again. You kind of like the wrinkle, truth be told, and could do well stumbling over it from time to time. 

Leo
You're worried about an upcoming collaboration -- you feel you will be losing something and the other person will have something to gain. Try to think unselfishly. On the other hand, don't lose sight of yourself. The right decision dangles before you. But still, you must choose it.

Virgo
You're dividing your attention, which is proving you to be someone who honors all of your commitments. However, it is also making someone you care about feel neglected and taken for granted. After all, who is more important to you? Playing second fiddle could lead to feelings of resentment that will linger long past this week.

Libra
Forgetting old ghosts proves especially difficult as you find yourself comparing and contrasting people's personalities. You have the ideal and you have the person you are always settling for, the person who can never compete with ghosts. You have preserved the memory, and in so doing, made it bigger and better than it was.

Scorpio
If you believe yourself to be so, then you'll be so. The first obstacle will be ridding the negatives from your life. Next, you'll have to learn to allow the good to come back in. It's a gradual process, but at some point, you'll be proud of how fast you bounced back.

Sagittarius
Feelings of anger could well up inside based on the actions of someone who is important to you. You want to tear down the false gods -- you want to make it real. We all exist with an alternate fantasy life -- some days it takes over. This week, you'll want no part of it.

Capricorn
Letting go of someone who filled a void in your life brings up a mixed bag of feelings -- you may find yourself rationalizing the faults just to make the picture seem perfect. But your more practical side knows this is the right path. Forge ahead, don't look back.

Aquarius
A month of changes this will be for you. You may feel slightly heartbroken that an anticipated event fell through. Such events are important to you because they bring together those you most care about. On the brighter side, you will have a sudden gust of great luck.

Pisces
What seems like a future prospect could, in reality, be something more appropriate to be lived simply in the moment. You aren't quite ready to give up your skeptical side, even when things project nicely. The part you're not facing has to do with scheduling, with keeping secrets and with hidden clues. Play the detective and get to the bottom of it of else risk future heartache.
