TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are strong indications that you won't be able to exercise the necessary resolve or willpower to overcome a tough situation. Both the flesh and the spirit must be willing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can be a well-organized person, but only when you choose, which isn't likely to be the case currently. Your workspace could be cluttered with a lot of nondescript items.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of diminishing or modifying your hopes and expectations, try to elevate them to new heights. You are far luckier than you may realize, so think and act big.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- With the tremendous optimism you espouse, you should have little trouble awakening enthusiasm in others. Whatever it is you're doing, they'll want to be part of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When entering a joint agreement, make sure your counterpart can contribute the necessary knowledge that he or she claims to have. If the partnership is out of balance, it could fizzle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because you're in a somewhat lucky cycle, you should receive your fair share of breaks. However, it you get involved with a negative person, he or she could dilute things for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Recognize the difference between getting involved with a group you'll enjoy and one that won't truly accept you, no matter how hard you try. Trying to win the latter over will be a lost cause and a waste of time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you decide to make a major, expensive change in your home or residence, be absolutely certain it'll be something that you can live with for a long time. If it isn't, you'll end up being miserable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don't make the mistake of lacking faith in your own abilities and relying solely on the advice from persons who may not be as astute as you are. Trust your instincts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be extra careful about both the management of your resources and of someone else's. Chances are, handling money may not be your strong suit at this time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An important endeavor in which you're involved isn't likely to live up to your expectations if you leave any part to chance. You must be able to control every step.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don't become so enamored with a new friend that you fail to keep in touch with any of your longtime pals. Share your time as equally as possible with both.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Setting some lofty goals is admirable, but don't fall into the trap of thinking they are already completed just because you thought of them. It takes elbow grease to get things done.
