ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may not be feeling at the top of your game as the week begins, Aries, but as long as you make sure to avoid procrastination, you’ll be back to your fun-loving, energetic self by midweek. This good mood should carry over into your weekend, so go ahead and make some plans, and perhaps take advantage of some rare Ithaca spring weather and spend some time outside.
PISCES (March 21-April 19): This week is all about building relationships, both old and new. If you have any important issues to deal with, it’s best to wait until after Thursday, when everyone is past the midweek hump. If you’re thoughtful in your actions, you may be able to end the week on a high note.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ve got quite a way about you this week, Taurus, and you may find yourself attracting people from all walks of life (from engineers to aggies). Expressing yourself should come fairly easily to you this week, so you can ace that in class presentation. This weekend may be one of extremes, so make sure you’re fully behind anything you get yourself into.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may enjoy the praises someone is singing for you at the start of this week, Gemini, but listening to someone who challenges you is also important. This week is going to be a busy one, so you may want to keep track of everything you have to get done in list form. You’ll be glad you did by the time the weekend rolls around, when romance takes center stage.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get ready to break out of your shell this week, Cancer. You’ll begin the week feeling very extroverted, so take advantage of this and maybe make friends with that cute barista at Manndible. You might need some extra motivation by midweek, so enlist the help of your favorite roommate to help you stay on track.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve got a special glow about you this week, Leo, which is making it hard for anyone to tell you no. You are able to connect with people on many levels this week, so by the time the weekend rolls around you should have no problem finding something (or someone) to do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re in fine form this week, Virgo, with your ability to micromanage allowing you to get things done at an unusually fast pace. By the end of the week you’ll want to focus on some important issues (like picking classes for next semester or finalizing some summer plans).
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be feeling restless at the beginning of the week, Libra, so take your excess energy and explore some new territory (I hear the Plantations are lovely this time of year). By midweek you’ve got magnetism that others find irresistible. If you’re lucky this will carry over into the weekend, when new relationships could evolve into something more.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As the week begins it may be wise to be extra observant, Scorpio; you may find that information you learn at the beginning of the week comes in handy later on. As the week goes on you may want to seek advice from a trusted friend; their point of view may help you see a situation in a different light. The end of the weekend is your time to shine, so get out there and get noticed!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to make a move, Sag, the beginning of the week is your best bet, since your chances of getting what you want may fade as the week goes on. However, by the end of the week you may find that people are responding well to your every move.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you want at the start of the week, Capricorn (if you think your grade is unfair, say something). As the week goes on you’ll find it easier to work with others, so team up if you need to get something done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take some time to stop and do something out of the ordinary at the start of the week, and you may be surprised with what you discover. As the week goes on make sure you spend plenty of time in the Cocktail Lounge getting things done. While that may sound about as fun as going through BASICS, you will be glad when you’re able to reward yourself with a real cocktail at Stella’s toward the end of the week.
