ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because the needs and requirements of those with whom you're involved are too restrictive, you may start to look for a way out. Try to do so as pleasantly as possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make sure you have the necessary tools, materials and time before tackling a big project. If any one of these things is missing, chances are the job will never be finished.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Activities that include elements of friendly competition will be highly appealing to you, which is all well and good. However, if at all possible, keep wagers out of the picture.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you have any hope of resolving a domestic problem that arises, you must take a firm position and stand by it. Being wishy-washy would only worsen the situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being fair-minded and unbiased is required if you hope to win others over to your point of view. Trying to force the issue would have an opposite effect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because you should be able to clearly perceive the difference between what is essential spending and what isn't, this is a good day to get a handle on your budget.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An objective that is of utmost personal importance might not be so vital for some of the others involved. The only way you'll get what you want is to break away and work independently.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although you may appear to be in your own world, you'll be hard at work weighing and balancing critical issues that will make or break your plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- This is not a good day to talk shop or to try to promote a special interest when in a social setting. Your friends are far more interested in having fun than listening to your workaday affairs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try as you might, it could be difficult for you to escape the scrutiny of others. Whether you like it or not, your public image is being assessed by some rather severe critics.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should trade on your past experiences instead of totally ignoring them. If you don't, you could be tempted to attempt something that didn't work out too well the last time you tried it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You should know that you would derive the greatest of pleasure from engaging in shared activities. If you decide to play a loner's role, this will be just another humdrum day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be much more fortunate allowing matters to run their own course. If you interfere with people or events, you could derail something good that's in the process of happening.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Associate with those who are fully prepared to pay their own share while avoiding individuals who always seem to misplace their wallets when it comes time to pay the bill.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Chances are, feelings of superiority will cause you to lower your guard at the wrong time, and could induce you to underestimate the opposition. It's likely to be your downfall.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are indications that sometime early in the day you could have a disagreement with a friend over something utterly insignificant. Once the dust settles, resolve the matter promptly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It might be unwise to mix business with pleasure. Those with whom you're doing business might not be able to distinguish between the two, and could end up not taking you seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Trust your decisions when it comes to a partnership situation. Chances are they will be superior to those of your cohort, especially when it comes to commercial or financial matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A failure on your part to honor a commitment could create ill feelings between you and a co-worker. Try to make up for it in the near future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Lady Luck is likely to intervene on your behalf, but she might not be operating on your timetable. Try to pay closer attention to what she is doing and don't get too far in front of her.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The longer you haggle over a matter, the less likely you are to make a good deal. Be fair going in, and you won't turn things into a bargaining marathon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don't despair if an objective that you're striving for is not achieved on your first try. You might have to regroup several times to figure out how to get what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful of what you guarantee on an impulse, because it will be taken seriously. If you really didn't mean to give that much, you'll regret it later when you have to pay up.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Because of your pleasant and considerate manner, friends will enjoy your company. However, your family might not get to see the same sterling facets of your personality.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're not one who often has the patience to fuss over small details, but fortunately that's not true at this moment, making it an exceptional time to clear away the clutter or fine-tune some of your work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Because you're in such a friendly mood, you won't mind socializing while working. In fact, it'll help add a bit of light-heartedness to certain jobs that you normally dislike doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When in the right mood, humble domestic tasks provide you with a certain amount of comfort. If you can, try to spend some time working around the house or in your garden.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although you may rather work with your hands, mental assignments will be easier for you to handle. Now's the time to catch up on your correspondence or clear away the clutter, so get cracking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You know that engaging in some fun activities would greatly appease your appetite for socializing, yet you'll buckle down and let your practicality run the show. Good for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don't relegate your initiative and leadership qualities to the rear just to appease another, because it'll end up being a big downer for you. Let that person deal with his or her own issues.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Generally, you like people around you when you work, but in order to function effectively today, you'll require a quiet corner. Outside noises could be disturbing and run you off track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It stands to reason that those with whom you'll feel the most at ease have similar ideals, interests and standards to yours. In your mind, others will have little to offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You have a tendency at times to pursue objectives with a come-what-may attitude. However, you may be reluctant to take a chance, fearing it'll lessen your possibilities for success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It behooves you to be philosophical as well as practical in your involvements with friends and/or associates. This will help you sail smoothly over the shoals.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could be a great asset in a development that calls for a team effort. You won't have any trouble pulling your own weight without disturbing the progress of your teammates.
