Heavenly Round-Up: The Four Horsemen of the temperamental Teutonic Apocalypse—Sturm, Drang, Angst and Schadenfreude—jaunt across the inner landscape bringing turmoil and self-pity along with great character-building opportunities. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you can pull up your socks and get on with taking care of business. You'll get it right and become the surprise protagonist in your own life story. But first you'll have to stand up straight and look everyone in the eye and magically calm them down. You have the technology.

Aries: You're on fire with the possibilities. There's this vivid course of wonder you're dying to pursue. Are you willing to chase it to the exclusion of completing this cycle obligation and achievement in your life? Keep an eye cocked over your shoulder on Saturday. Think pink.

Taurus: The decibel level of the kibitzing of your inner voices has become nearly deafening. Either step up and mediate, or dissolve the committee and reconvene some other internal structure of decision making. Learn to say what you mean, and mean what you say. Leave early.

Gemini: You're having a great time, and things are swimming along merrily—with that one tiny exception. And it's looming larger all the time, like the monster in a dream. If you turn and face it, will it shrink or expand with dizzying swiftness? Wednesday is your new target day.

Cancer: You're ready to call this the long, dark teatime of your soul, but you may also be in a state of mild, self-induced melodrama. Find fresh occupations to distract you from your initial melancholy. Once you've got a new skill sighted, you'll find you've energy and joy alike.

Leo: Walk with confidence. You're casting a long shadow in a good way. What seems small now has implications both larger and more lasting than you can suppose from your present vantage point. Cast an eye over the fine print before you head off for the weekend.

Virgo: You would do better to reach back to your roots to help you understand your dilemma rather than projecting forward with your standing assumptions. Also, you're losing more by procrastinating than what's merely on the surface. Try out a new color on Monday.

Libra: You wanted more to do. You wanted to be more engaged. You wanted to have a deeper understanding. With everything else that's going on this second, you'd think your plate was sufficiently full—as your prayers were answered altogether and all at once. Refresh often.

Scorpio: Tense as you've been, there hasn't been as much reason as you've insisted. If you would begin to fully exhale whilst keeping in mind that time will bring an answer as soon as fussing (or sooner), you'd have a lot more time to get a lot more done. Meditate with intent.

Sagittarius: You're all that and a bag of chips, and you're going to come to the rescue at the last possible moment—and it's going to be a hoot and a holler and then some. Be sure to get enough iron and sleep and take time out from wagging your tongue to exercise.

Capricorn: Perverseness afflicts you with the desire to ''just say no.'' Funnily enough, that may be the right thing to be saying in a best case scenario, as well as with the motivation you've let run rampant this one time. You have a vivid dream Friday night. Interpret it.

Aquarius: You're not sleeping as you should. You can't let go of the big picture, and you're anticipating more than you're existing in the right here and now. Step back from your consternation to take in the reality. You may find yourself in a stronger position than you'd imagined.

Pisces: You've ignored the elephant in the room for long enough, and it's not getting smaller. It's not too late to go back and have your way with the situation as it stands. Call in your social capital debts to get you through the bumpy period immediately ahead. Discover.
