What your Zodiac sign says this week

Still need more insight into what life has prepared for you this week? Compiled by Horoscope.com, here's a weekly forecast for the 12 zodiac signs.

Aries: Listen to your inner voice this week and don't be goaded into doing anything that doesn't feel right. Indeed, you'll weather the current climate much better if you can be willing to take your time, examine plans and proposals in detail, and make sure they're really for you. On another note, you might decide to take a closer look at your health and wellness routines, particularly if they aren't delivering. A little bit of research could net you some great ideas on this score.

Taurus: What seemed certain last week could disappoint this week. But perspective can be everything, particularly if you're dealing with delays to your best-laid plans. To every cloud there is a silver lining, and this applies to goals, projects, and even meetings or reunions. Rethinking the details and tweaking the guest lists can be a big deal and make the difference between success and potential failure. By week's end you'll have a fairly good idea of what needs to change. Sunday could be a day of indulgence.

Gemini: With Mars now powering through your zone of lifestyle and routines, you may be eager to make some sweeping changes. Indeed, this could be your opportunity to pare down your list of activities and rebuild a schedule that suits you much better. However, with Mercury, your personal planet, retrograde at this time, the week ahead seems filled with meetings and discussions concerning financial matters and more personal issues. Don't shy away from these conversations. Positive change depends on them.

Cancer: You could find other people quite contrary this week. If you've been promised various things, these may not materialize. But this isn't necessarily the fault of the person in question, as his or her schedule may also be subject to obstacles and delays. While you may feel frustrated at a lack of progress, it helps to go with the flow for now. Take everything in stride and do the best you can. Focus on what is working and the steps you can take.

Leo: If you've got deadlines to meet, targets to reach, and important appointments to attend, give yourself plenty of leeway. With Mercury and Jupiter continuing retrograde, there are plenty of opportunities for delays that could cost you. One way to deal with this may be to do as much preparation as possible. However, you may also find it helpful to negotiate a little extra time for any unexpected snafus. Plus, if you're heading to the post-holiday sales, remember to keep the receipts.

Virgo: You could feel disappointed by the way a certain idea or creative project is panning out. With Mercury and Jupiter retrograde, things may not be happening as quickly as you'd like. Nevertheless, this state of affairs looks set to continue for some time, so you'll need to make the best of it. Review your plans and consider whether they could be changed for the better. Where romance is concerned, a new love interest may be dragging his or her heels. If so, patience is the key.

Libra: You currently have an opportunity to spend more time with family members or close friends and nurture these connections in the process. And with both Mercury and Jupiter currently retrograde, reunions could be part of the action this week and in the weeks ahead. Whether it's a relative you haven't seen in some time or perhaps an old flame with whom you'd like to make amends, reach out to others and heal old wounds. It can be a very life-affirming thing to do.

Scorpio: If you have important decisions to make, it might be best to hold off for now. The same goes for signing contracts or closing deals. In fact, committing to anything could be a little fraught while Mercury continues to spin backward in your sector of talk and thought. Projects or plans could be delayed. Nevertheless, you have a golden opportunity to look into them in more detail and spot any potential flaws. Concerning your social life, someone from the past could reappear.

Sagittarius: A spicy link between Venus and Uranus on Tuesday could coincide with an unexpected encounter or conversation that conveys interesting and exciting news. Nevertheless, you could experience a few delays when it comes to finances. If you have bills to pay or other expenses to account for, it might help to put some money aside to cover them. And if you're going to be shopping the sales, keep receipts and paperwork. There's a chance a purchase or two could fail to please.

Capricorn: You love to be organized, but you could find that your best-laid plans are gathering dust this week. With both Mercury and Jupiter dancing backward, you'll need to be patient to handle the inevitable delays. Indeed, you may be involved in a number of discussions and conversations in a bid to get things moving along a bit more quickly. Instead, focus on making key changes and tackling flaws. The progress may be a little easier once you set things right.

Aquarius: A lively aspect between Venus and Uranus suggests a call or message out of the blue that could be a welcome surprise. If you're invited out, get ready to accept, as this could be a high point. However, you're also in a natural phase in which it helps to take a break from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Use this opportunity to clear up any emotional baggage that is keeping you from getting ahead. You'll notice your energy increase as you do.

Pisces: While you're certainly motivated when it comes to career plans and projects, your social life could be in disarray. This is due to both Mercury and Jupiter doing a backward dance in key areas of your chart. Perhaps a significant other is too busy to socialize or spend much time with you, or friends have other things on their mind. However, this can be an opportunity to explore new options and move in new circles. It could be a revelation!
