Many Aries natives will experience this in business relationships but some, especially those born early in April, may also find that friendships and romance are strongly affected. Express your ideas, Aries; potential friends are listening.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Early this week, Taurus, a work official may offer your services or time to others. Business triangles and quickly changing schedules may be a theme over the next few days. Remain diplomatic: This is not a good time to publicly doubt the expertise or decisions of authority figures. Later this week, a new romantic attraction may be surprisingly seductive. Watch for quick flirtations or unexpected invitations in the workplace. Trust your instincts, Taurus: complex social ethics may be at issue.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Pay close attention to old documents or past business agreements this week, Gem.

An oddly moody few days, Gem: Stay balanced and watch for returning emotions.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Work officials or long-term business partners may be particularly critical of your actions and decisions this week. Key issues involve recently broken contracts or failed financial proposals.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Daily routines will simplify early this week, Leo. Recent misunderstandings with authority figures or annoying changes to paperwork will no longer be an issue in working relationships.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Before mid-week, Virgo, a work official or key business figure may announce new or unusual workplace procedures. Watch records, calculations or inventory for unexpected errors.

Late Thursday romance and sensuality will be difficult to resist: expect lovers or close friends to openly express love or admit to private attractions. Go slow, Virgo: Long withheld desires are involved.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Home-based business opportunities or short-term investments will be particularly rewarding over the next few days.

Later this week, avoid serious discussions with a close friend or lover: Social information or family news will be misleading. A delicate week, Libra: Pace yourself and watch for complex changes.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Business or financial communications may be subtle and complex this week. For the next few days, expect work officials and colleagues to be overly focused on small amounts, unusual errors or short term contractual limitations. Much of this may involve past power struggles, Scorp: Expect ongoing emotional politics and workplace intrigue. After mid-week creative ideas, fast suggestions and new sources of income will cause excitement: Remain open to late -arriving proposals.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Unusual complications may now arise in key friendships, Cap. Early this week, watch for a long-term friend to object to recent plans or express disappointment concerning a mutual acquaintance.

A demanding week, Aquarius: Stay sharp.
