Aries

For the week of March 15-21: You lock horns with equally qualified, competitive types. What starts out as typical office banter could turn nasty quite unexpectedly, unless you bow out before things get rough. It's better to lose this pointless round of arguing than to get the last word and generate long-term resentment and hostility. Sure, you can think of plenty of snappy things to say to a dolt you work with, but what's the point? Nobody wins - the dolt still thinks he or she is right, and the same can be said for you. Keep your mind focused on a bigger prize - something bigger than your ego or desire to maintain control. What is your company's objective? Keep personality out of it and focus on the goal. Weekly touchstones: Citrine, Onyx.

Taurus

For the week of March 15-21: Monday's New Moon re-energizes your enthusiasm that maybe, just maybe, a career or financial endeavor might work out. Sure, you might have to try a few new things, be a bit bolder and more experimental, but you're ready for answers and results that enhance instead of undermine your self-esteem and career path. So say YES to new suggestions. Anticipate that many of these ideas require some time, effort, and work, particularly if you have a very limited budget. There may be a few brusque exchanges during meetings and talks, but you can pare this down to a very nicely defined, well-organized, attractive presentation. Weekly touchstones: Black Tourmaline, Black Opal.

Gemini

For the week of March 15-21: You're discovering talents you really didn't know you had - or perhaps haven't unleashed in the past. As it turns out, you're a bodacious leader, motivator, salesperson extraordinaire, and dealmaker. Others' tongues roll out like bougainvillea petals - they're just in awe of how deftly you navigate through office dorks, middle mismanagement, and bureaucrats just putting in time. You slip and slide around obstacles and get things done, instead of waiting for the alleged PIC (pain-in-the-arse in charge) to do his or her job. You get cheers from most people, but might get snark from the underling incapable of getting anything accomplished. You're a one-person antidote to sluggish business trends. Thank Goddess for YOU! Weekly touchstones: Emerald, Pigeon Blood Cabochon Ruby.

Cancer

For the week of March 15-21: Every victory (and there will be at least two) demands a lot from you this week. You'll earn each stripe you get. Is it worth the trouble, travel, callbacks, and aggravation? Well, yes. The fact that you're working with difficult or confused clients is a test. If you're able to buck up and be professional enough to not allow another's shenanigans to get under your skin, you'll make a few bonus points and probably be able to move things forward to the closing table. Just remember that what seems so obvious to you may sound like rocket science to an uninformed client or customer. Take a breath, remain serene, and be prepared to donate more time and attention to certain high maintenance customers or clients. Weekly touchstones: Blue Topaz, Lavender Jade.

Leo

For the week of March 15-21: Your aim, right from the get-go is to win in every category. You plan things that make a statement, demonstrate finesse, and radiate your passionate belief and dedication. You're not somewhere in the middle about anything. Your position is strong, well defined, and people are either crazy about you or want nothing to do with you. You're a bellwether for the next trend, others' spending habits, and the general mood of the buying public. Your contenders and competitors could learn a thing or two just by watching you. You'll fight tooth and nail for what you believe in this week - and you will win, as expected. Weekly touchstones: Tigers Eye, Black Tourmaline.

Virgo

For the week of March 15-21: You're determined to kick the stones out of your shoes (and everyone else's) this week. No more sitting there, sucking your thumb and wondering why things aren't getting done. You play drill sergeant on steroids and kick some serious ass! Think of yourself as the wakeup call your company or group is fearful of, but desperately needs. You nix shoddy work, late arrivals and long lunches. You're all about production and quality this week. You crack the whip - snap! - and make others feel your insistence on excellent on-time performance. Oh, this won't win you popularity points, but right now, you're fighting for your financial and professional survival, so popularity is about as important as the stinky kitty litter you disposed of last night. Weekly touchstones: Citrine, Malachite.

Libra

For the week of March 15-21: You begin a new, all-encompassing project this week. You'll enjoy moments of it and bite your lip at times, too. It's won't be all smooth sailing, mostly because there appears to be some competition or disputes among team members about how to best handle a situation or a new recruit. Let them fight it out until they drop - you'll still get the final say because you're the one who does most of the work. You're the \"hands-on\" person. Hands-on = I rule. Weekly touchstones: Bronzite, Onyx.

Scorpio

For the week of March 15-21: You could teach almost everyone a thing or two about marketing, trendsetting, and being in the first row at every big fashion event. But it'll cost 'em a bundle before you give up any of your trade secrets. You don't come cheap. Nothing you do is second class, which explains why some of you have gotten very annoyed with current working conditions. Budgetary issues aside, you know that if product quality goes down, so does perceived value, demand, and the impact and position that your product or service has in the marketplace. Trying to convince the cross-eyed bean counters of this reality is like talking to a chia pet. At this juncture, instead of backing off of first class quality, the higher ups should graciously not accept another greedy bonus. Put the money back into the company and keep your Numero Uno position in others' heart and minds for the good of the company. Weekly touchstones: Peridot, Yellow Sapphire.

Sagittarius

For the week of March 15-21: You toughen up, tighten the screws, and push forward a new idea, campaign, or other project. Instead of leaving things in the hands of others who have less on the line than you do - but a mile - you take charge, push through crowds and obstacles and get the job done on time, better than anticipated, and prove for the umpteenth time that you have more talent in your little finger than most people can cobble together in a lifetime. You might even serve as a template for a newbie or two on how to kick butt and take names on your way up that slippery slope to success. Because you have street cred and the scars to prove it, others listen raptly to you, take notes and ask more questions. This is the glimmering of a fresh new start and a better life for you. Goddess knows you've earned this. Weekly touchstones: Paraiba Tourmaline, Black Opal.

Capricorn

For the week of March 15-21: You are so far ahead of the curve that you're almost out of sight. You leave behind the old-school whiners that talk about the old days when things were different and essentially render themselves redundant, and zoom into the front line of a new push in a different upward direction. Your vision and in-depth understanding of what others desire and need - and what is possible, financially speaking, make you, well, the Whole Package. You're visionary, creative, smarter than your peers (by miles and miles), and have the business chops to make dreams come true. Whoever nabs you as a partner just hit the mother lode. Weekly touchstones: Black Spinel, Black Opal.

Aquarius

For the week of March 15-21: You're fixated on generating more money with less risk and less anguish. So much depends on the partners you select, the people you depend on, and the professional alliances and contacts you accumulate. You've done a really great job when it comes to collecting influential people who can help you, but haven't taken full advantage of your connections. What's holding you back? Is there some part of you that doesn't feel worthy? Do you think you'd be imposing or presumptuous? Oh, please - ask for the help, guidance, and connections from your cabal of wise people. Most people would kill to have your connections. Pull that pacifier out of your mouth, and get moving, baby! Weekly touchstones: Citrine, Alexandrite.

Pisces

For the week of March 15-21: This week's go-get-em New Moon falls in your sign, pushing you to push harder. Right now, it's all about you baby - and your ability to sell yourself. You are your most valuable commodity. People are stunned by your charisma and physicality, then amazed by your experience, brilliance, and often-devastating honesty. They trust you. They connect with you. This week starts a two-week push toward a big career connection and goal. Give this every bit of octane you've got. Most of your hard work during the next couple weeks will start producing solid, tangible results around the 29th, so work like a maniac. It's sooo worth it! Weekly touchstones: Black Tourmaline, Black and Gold Marble.
