ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An idea with which you've been toying looks like it has real merit and can be expanded into something you'll be able to work with. Sound it out on a person you trust.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is plenty of justification for good feelings about your commercial affairs. In fact, a recent successful feat can be repeated.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although co-workers may be only lukewarm about accepting one of your suggestions concerning a mutual enterprise, demonstrate your idea and watch how supportive they quickly become.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You might be luckier in things that are done for you by others than through your own actions. Leave the door open, however, for those who see what you're doing and want in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being in a particularly good pattern for getting substantial help and reaping copious rewards from ventures or endeavors that you personally manage, you can do much with little. Act on it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Timing is your most valuable asset in helping you achieve two important objectives. Don't make any moves until you sense that the iron is hot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A close friend of yours might be instrumental in helping you finally achieve something that you've wanted for a long time. Now that you know how it's done, it can be repeated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Only if you are materially motivated enough can you increase your chances for fulfilling an ambitious objective. It's one of those times when you need to really want what you're chasing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Alliances established for the purpose of profit might not work out that well, but partnerships formed for noncommercial reasons will meet with remarkable success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There are times when we need to take a chance in order to better our positions where business is concerned. A well-planned, calculated risk might be just what the doctor ordered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- With the initiation of a mutual interest, a very enterprising someone whom you recently met and teamed up with might play a significant role in your life from this day forward.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Adhere to standards that you believe to be correct and proper, and Lady Luck will pitch in and help you with your cause. Hold to these principles, even when under the most trying of circumstances.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Think twice before pulling the rug out from under a direct competitor. The consequences of your actions could take you down along with him or her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instead of vowing to eventually correct a mistake you made, take action the moment you realize your gaffe. The longer you wait, the worse it'll get.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's a chance you could get caught up in a situation in which the position you want to take opposes the will of the majority. Don't try to fight city hall on your own.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you're not careful, a domestic confrontation over a minor infraction could overwhelm the household. Even though the issue is petty, it could generate major trouble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although normally you're pretty good about keeping your temper in check, if you're not careful you could spontaneously overreact should your views or opinions be challenged.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Hanging around with friends who are notoriously extravagant or reckless with their funds opens up the possibility of you following their lead. Be your own person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you're at odds with your mate over something trivial, make sure you resolve it before going out with friends. You won't want it to rear its ugly head when you're trying to have a good time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be exceptionally careful if you have to work with tools or materials with which you're unfamiliar. You might have to keep a close eye on a helper who could be inexperienced, as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When out with friends, be on your best behavior if you find someone in the group to be brash or rude. If you respond in kind, it'll make you look bad, not him or her.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before establishing a big objective, be sure it's truly worthy of the trouble it might take to achieve it and not something that you won't appreciate once you get it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your manner of expression could make a much stronger impression than you are likely to intend. Thus, be sure that what you say enhances your image, not damages it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Being a bit of a risk taker, you could easily jump into something that is financially way over your head. Be particularly wary of anything that seems too good to be true.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do not let a close colleague make a decision about a shared concern without discussing things with you first. This person's choice might benefit him or her but not you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try not to overextend yourself by taking on an assignment of another's in addition your own, no matter how much the other person needs help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It would be best not to request a favor from someone you just met, no matter how much trouble you're in. Go to an old friend for whom you've done much in the past -- he or she owes you a favor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be careful about inviting others to drop in anytime unless you really mean it. Someone could take you up on your invitation and interrupt you at a most inappropriate moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid taking a gamble on something that could affect not only your resources but also those of others. Even if Lady Luck has been hanging out on your doorstep lately, she might be elsewhere today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It might be flattering to you when a member of the opposite gender comes on to you, but if it's inappropriate in any way, it will spell big trouble if you respond in kind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Relying on wit and charm to get you by may work up to a point, but if the going gets tough you could quickly lose all your steam. Make sure to have a solid foundation undergirding your flourishes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Base your hopes and expectations on solid bedrock and not on loose, shifting sand. Your desires will be dashed if there is nothing substantial holding them in place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because your behavior and motives are likely to be closely scrutinized by anybody and everybody, don't do anything foolish that would be detrimental to your image.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It's an enviable quality, your innate wisdom, but you might step out of character and reward someone you shouldn't while ignoring the deserving.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You might be offered a proposition that appears nifty on the surface but has hidden strings attached. Don't be reluctant to ask whatever pertinent questions you think necessary.
