Burton's Weekly Forecast
For the period of Monday, November 23, 2009 through Sunday, November 29, 2009.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're full of impulsive decisions and impishness this week. Though that's initially frustrating to others, you bring so much charm along that you win them over anyway. It will take a little bit of work to recover and show that you're actually serious about committing to a specific project, but you should be able to communicate your enthusiasm effectively. Don't give up on a close one who seems to feel lackluster. Your constant encouragement will help, and you shouldn't feel discouraged even if you don't see results. The sense of dedication you feel at work will leak through to others and spur a flurry of productivity, making the outcome of your team projects a great success. Step up your game with finances, and challenge yourself to save even more than usual this week.
Compatibility
Excellent - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Good - Aries, Gemini, Capricorn, Pisces
Fair - Leo, Libra, Sagittarius
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your creativity is out of control this week, and you may be at a loss if you don't take time from your days to thoroughly record your ideas. Though you won't have the opportunity to put them into action now, it's worth it to keep an "idea list" around and refer back to it every so often. When the chance arises for you to make one of your best ideas a reality, go for it. A close one is a huge help to you this week, and you'll feel a great sense of comfort and trust with that person. It will inspire you to share things you haven't told others, but don't worry—your secrets are in good hands. Put the brakes on spending this week, and try enforcing a ban on all non-necessary purchases.
Compatibility
Excellent - Aries, Leo, Libra, Capricorn, Pisces
Good - Taurus, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius
Fair - Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Confidence is shining from you this week, and others will notice that you walk with a spring in your step and seem more self-assured than usual. You'll also feel as though you don't have anything to prove, and it will be very liberating to go around and do as you please without worrying about how others will feel. It's natural that a close one's words and opinions will mean a lot to you, but don't put more stock in them than what they're worth. You need to follow your own heart, and if your instincts tell you differently than that person does, go with what you truly want. You're smashing every obstacle set in your way at work this week, and those accomplishments are more than enough to get you noticed by a superior.
Compatibility
Excellent - Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius, Pisces
Good - Gemini, Cancer, Libra, Aquarius
Fair - Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
You've been having a hard time concentrating lately, and a lot of the problem could stem from your environment. It's possible you aren't operating in a setting that's conducive to your thought process, so you'll have to tweak your surroundings to make them work for you. Try rearranging things, picking up a new decorating scheme, or just changing the look of everything around. You'll see a difference in your focus soon. It's a good idea to declutter a personal relationship with a close one this week by turning away the past and embracing a fresh world of new possibilities. If the other person isn't completely on board, explain why you think this move is important. Finally, streamline your financial system this week by using a software program or other aid to track expenses.
Compatibility
Excellent - Aries, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio
Good - Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn
Fair - Taurus, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Pisces
Leo (July 23-Aug 22)
This week won't bring what you expect, but you'll feel ready for anything by the time the weekend rolls around! The nonstop surprises that you get every day mean that you'll quickly learn to be very adaptable, which is a definite positive. Your inclination will be to cling to what's most familiar, but you'll get the biggest benefits if you can let go and take risks that make you feel somewhat uncomfortable. Back off from a loved one a little bit, as that person might feel smothered. You can still maintain a high level of intimacy even if you don't see them as often—just think of some creative ways to show you care. If money is tight, give some thought to what you really need and what you can live without.
Compatibility
Excellent - Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius
Good - Gemini, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius
Fair - Aries, Virgo, Pisces
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Watch your level of hope closely this week, and try to make sure it doesn't over-inflate. A healthy sense of optimism is ideal, but you want a significant dash of realism along with it. Don't let the facts bring you down, but do let them be your guide for what to expect. If what's happening doesn't measure up to what you want, you're the only person who can take steps to change it. You'll slip into a feeling of comfort and stability with a close one this week, and that's exactly what you need right now. If you feel as if everything else in your life is a little out of control, this person can help ground you and assure you that you're heading in the right direction. At work, try to downsize and cut your hours if possible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Clowning around comes naturally to you, so when others expect you to shape up and be more formal, you may not react in the most professional way. If you seem to have made a bad impression, do what you can to fix it, but don't worry too much about others' opinions. You'll eventually find an opportunity that appreciates you for all your quirks, and you can snatch it when that time arrives. A loved one may be a little cranky this week, but you're overcome with good feelings for that person anyway. Your gentle responses and thoughtful gestures may turn their grumpiness into a smile. You've been hoarding money lately, but that's not necessarily the best strategy. If you continue to make responsible decisions, it will still be there, so feel free to spend as you normally would.
Compatibility
Excellent - Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces
Good - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Sagittarius
Fair - Aries, Capricorn, Aquarius
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov 21)
This week is buzzing with exciting possibilities, but it may be frustrating that details aren't available. You'll want hard numbers and concrete plans that you can form to your liking, but that may not be an option. If you're interested enough, you may have to throw your usual procedures out the window and agree to work with concepts that are more abstract. It will take a good portion of the week to get over a communication hurdle with a close one, but once you do, you'll be amazed at how much your relationship with that person improves. You'll both feel appreciative, open, and ready to share what's on your minds. You're intrigued by an associate's way of doing things at work, and you should ask questions about it if you think it's something you might consider.
Compatibility
Excellent - Aries, Leo, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius
Good - Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pisces
Fair - Taurus, Gemini
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec 21)
You'll be attracted to unusual individuals this week, and it could spur a period of intense creativity for you. Some of these people are hard to get used to at first, but once you grow more comfortable with them and understand what they're all about, a whole new worldview will open itself up to you. Take it for what it is, and realize that you can participate as little or as much as you like. Emotions will run high with a loved one, and it's easy to blow the littlest things out of proportion with that person. Keep the fundamentals of your relationship in mind, and don't fight the battles that just aren't necessary. Your cash has been flowing freely lately, but that doesn't mean it's neverending. Sock some away in the bank for safekeeping.
Compatibility
Excellent - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Good - Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius
Fair - Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan 19)
You usually have no trouble getting other people to see your side of the story, and talking others around to your point of view is a breeze. This week, though, you'll need to have some substance behind your words to gain success. Eloquence alone won't cut it, so do all you can to make sure that your ideas are just as powerful and persuasive as the words you use. Practicality reigns with a loved one, and that person may veto several suggestions you have in favor of more realistic options. Rather than reacting with frustration, put yourself in their shoes to get an idea of what they feel. Tying up loose ends at work will leave your time open to collaborate on a new project with a few talented associates.
Compatibility
Excellent - Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces
Good - Aries, Cancer, Scorpio, Aquarius
Fair - Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb. 18)
Keep the personal and professional spheres of your life separate this week, as you could find yourself in trouble if they mix. To do that, you may have to develop a more defined priority list than you usually have, and make sure it's at the forefront of your mind as you start each day. It's also a good idea to dive deeper into your spiritual realm this week and use what you find there as a guide. You might not feel like listening to what a close one has to say this week, but that person knows you very well and will provide some good advice if you can manage to abandon your prejudices. You're getting close to a big financial achievement, so why not start planning how you're going to celebrate?
Compatibility
Excellent - Aries, Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Good - Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces
Fair - Cancer, Libra
Pisces (Feb 19-March 20)
You have many new freedoms this week, and although at first they'll seem magnificent, you may not know quite how to handle them after the initial shine wears off. Not to worry, though—it's as simple as finding a rhythm and routine that works for you. You can find your groove by trial and error, so don't be concerned if something doesn't slip into place immediately. You'll wonder if you're depending too heavily on a loved one, but if that person is providing the support you need and doesn't seem strained, you shouldn't worry about inconveniencing them. After all, they enjoy being with you just as much as you like being with them. Others will show you how valuable you are at work this week, which leaves you with a happy surge in confidence.
