ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It'll be up to you to take measures to renegotiate a matter that isn't all that you were told it would be. Unless you act, you'll have to live with the dismal original terms.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unless you are well organized and systematic, you're likely to do a bum job on whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. You'll need to fix what isn't right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Rewards can be had if you're prepared to work for them. Conversely, if you gamble on things getting done without your help, you'll be disappointed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't ignore your mate's suggestions if you know they come from a knowledgeable place. It'll be you who will be held accountable for the results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't give what you would like to do priority over any tasks given to you by your superiors. You'll need to take your responsibilities seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you are lax and wasteful in the management of your resources over the next few days, you could end up in a serious financial bind. Try to be more careful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You can bank on others being peeved if you give them reason to believe that your personal interests are far more important than anything in which they're involved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It's important that you don't believe everything you hear, because there's likely to be someone who wants to set you up to be a purveyor of misinformation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Investigate thoroughly any undertaking that requires you to provide cash before getting involved. Not only does this include a social event, but any commercial affair as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don't take anything for granted where your work or career is concerned. Chances are, what you believe to be a sure thing might not turn out like you anticipate.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Make it a point not to mix business with pleasure, especially when it comes to your friends. Even a project with someone whom you totally trust, things could still go wrong.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be extra careful if you are forced to share some time with someone who has a questionable reputation. There could be plenty of good reasons for the bad odor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don't forsake an old pal who gets out of line. This might be one of the times to turn the other cheek. Sometimes, maintaining a friendship is more important than momentary lapses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- This might not be a good day to rely on anybody to toe the line in a get-together. Everybody is relaxing, and a few people could let their hair down in ways you may not like.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although you'll have plenty of justification for feeling lucky, remember that good fortune does have its limitations. Don't press yours too far, especially in iffy situations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When in a discussion with a friend, you shouldn't treat lightly anything that he or she takes seriously. If you do, your pal might not only stop coming to you for advice, but for friendship as well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll function quite well if you don't attempt to do too many things simultaneously. It would be better to do one thing at a time, seeing it through to its conclusion before you begin another.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid trying to instruct another on how to do something you've never actually done yourself. If you turn out to be wrong, you could ruin some important plans.
