Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
This week you'll find it easier to get along with all kinds of people, but that does not mean you should allow others to make decisions for you. You're still the boss. You'll apply yourself in all sorts of unusual ways to please the powers that be, but this works especially well when the one who happens to be in power is you. Certain people in your field of endeavor are looking out for each other. One in particular has some valuable information to share with you that will help strengthen your position.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
It’s important to realize that details can be just as important as major factors when rendering a decision. Remember that each small part is essential to the making of the whole. You will see a relationship from the other person's point of view. The ability to leave yourself and see things as another person is a rare gift. People like what they can be involved in. You may start out alone, but don't finish all by yourself too, or you'll be setting yourself up for judgement. A group effort will make all the difference in the world.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Although something with far-reaching positive effects could develop, you’re not likely to be aware of all it can offer you. Stay on top of matters, and follow through. Knowing what you want is only one part of your goal- actually going after it could be a bit more challenging. It may take a lot of courage, though this is one of the best times of the year for you and it is about to get even better. Whatever risk you take, you will succeed brilliantly. What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Do it now.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Your commitments are so numerous that if you don't write them down or put them into a good system, you're likely to lose your way. Take a moment to consider all your promises, both big and small. It is so wonderful of you to be protective and cherishing of those you love, but be careful not to carry this too far. You mist take care to leave your dear ones some breathing space, as well as be more open with them. As celestial influences of communication intersect with the family areas of your life this week, that won't be a problem. Let loved ones know how you think and feel.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Use an indirect approach toward achieving your purposes, especially if there is someone who always questions your efforts. You'll have your goals accomplishedbefore anyone even notices. You'll enjoy a week of clear headedness and ordered thinking, partly because you feel there's no time to waste, and partially because the right answers seem so obvious. Lady Luck could help further your arms if you adopt a more positive mode of operation. Set your sights higher than usual, and have faith in your talents and abilities.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
The world is put off by ill mannered pushiness. Needing results to come faster than they seems to want to creates struggle and negativity. If you find yourself restless, put aside your plans and call that pal who is always ready to do something interesting. Isn't it about time you cut yourself a little slack? One of your better virtues is your willingness to teach and share your knowledge with others. You could have some real gems of information that'll save people money or time. Don't hold back.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
Channel your efforts toward a single goal, and you'll accomplish more than you ever thought possible. However, putting too many things on your plate could lead to an unweildy meal. A friendly invitation comes your way and you would be wise to accept it, mostly because you'll have a good time. Social antics will be an adventure. Not only will companions appreciate your charisma, they will equallywelcome your leadership qualities as well. No one will challenge the example you set, or mess with your directives.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
You always try to leave things better than they were when you found them. You may be the only responsible one, but keep up the high standards, and approach many areas of your life with a strong sense of professionalism this week. Some knowledge you acquire by simply being a good listener will prove to be immensely valuable. It'll prove how beneficial it is to pay attention. Friends will know that when you are told something confidential, no one will pry it from you. Don't let them down.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Don't settle for undesireable terms. Instead, be prepared to call the other guy's bluff. If conditions are unsatisfactory, take a walk and let him or her do all the sweating. Sit down around a table with friends colleagues and loved ones. Relax and unwind together. Talk about your day. You will discover something you didn't know before. You'll connect with someone in a fleeting moment and turn this chance connection into a bond that lasts. Your popularity with your peers is much stronger than usual. Even those you suspect dislike you are apt to be saying nice things about you.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Rewards for work well done are likely to be far grander than usual, not just in the material sense, but in personal ways as well. It is imperative that you do your best. Cosmic activity in the part of your chart which governs your status and reputation reaches a new high over the next few days, so be ready to take advantage of them. You're Number One. A business partner will emulate your mode of operation, so its going to be up to you to supply motivating factors to get what you want. He or she will back you up, and take cues well.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Friends may disappoint you, so you'll have to be prepared to cut them some slack. You'll ultimately be better off letting them be themselves instead of making them feel like they have to perform. Successful conclusions can be achieved in several endeavours that you feel are critical to your well-being. Give them top priority while you are on a roll. The chatter in your head is distracting. You can quiet the mental noise by telling someone trustworthy what's on your mind, or by writing it down in a diary.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
It might look to others that you're likely to take things at face value, but actually you won't be easily be deceived. Slick salespeople or con artists won't find you an easy mark at all. Focus on what you own and earn and make sure you get paid the right amount for your talents. Too many times in the past you have sold yourself short. This must now change. You are worth more than your weight in gold. You should be able to put to rest your enormous assumption that the one you like never notices you when this person starts showering you with attention.
[OOC Note: The horoscopes are considered by most in the City to be very accurate, since a lady with an ability for this sort of thing provides them. Use them as you will - accurate or not.]
This week is Customer Service Awareness Week, practiced by both AGI and SERO. Exceptional customer service representatives who work for either corporation and receive positive customer feedback will be getting bonuses and morale-boosting letters from their supervisors. Of course, this also means that your dinner hours will be constantly interrupted by phone calls soliciting consumer opinions on customer satisfaction. Have fun with that.
