ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do your best to keep all of your involvements in good, proper balance. Don't attempt to take on more than you can manage, but by the same token, don't idle your time away, either.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When working on something you deem to be a labor of love, positive results are inevitable. Without question, the secret to your success is enjoying what you are doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Seek out activities devoid of competition that bring you together with friends whose company you enjoy. You need to relax, not vie with rivals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This could a particularly good time to invite friends over to your place for a little tete-a-tete. Most of the time, these impromptu get-togethers turn out great.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to be exceptionally competent with projects that are more mental than physical in nature. You won't find a better day to rest your muscle and give your brain a workout.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Material increases are indicated if you operate along traditional lines. However, the picture could suddenly change if out of the blue, you decide to take a risk on something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although you have excellent leadership qualities, they will remain dormant unless there is something specific that you decide to do. Whatever your aim, it will require tact and grace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You could find yourself involved in something that affects others more than you. Rather than get deeply drawn in, keep a safe and respectful distance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You have a wonderful faculty of being able to enjoy yourself regardless of the hand that is dealt you. You'll capitalize on this gift in two separate situations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you might not be aware of it, you are apt to be the center of attention in at least one gathering. It'll be your convivial conduct that enhances these conditions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- One of your best assets is being able to make friends with people from all walks of life. This wonderful quality will be in good working order -- use it to your advantage.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even though any rewards you reap will be due more to the efforts of others than your own, your prospects look exceptionally good. Later, you'll find a way to balance the account.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be as flexible as possible when trying to iron out the snags in an agreement. When you allow everything to be on the table during negotiations, the problems will dissolve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Stay out of office politics as much as possible. Chances are nothing will be resolved, but the brouhaha it stirs up could unsettle you and affect your job performance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Unless you match your activity with the clock, not everything you want to accomplish will get done. Don't spend too much time on unanticipated interruptions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't fight for what you want if you know that doing so will have detrimental side effects. What's good for you might not be equally rewarding for the others involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even though Lady Luck is willing to help you out, you might not notice her contribution until late in the game. Make some room for her to squeeze into the picture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When it comes to your financial affairs, be both careful and prudent by thinking first and acting second. If you reverse this order, you might not be able to clean up your mistakes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In negotiating a matter of importance, don't be too hasty and accept what is first offered. If you aren't getting exactly what you want, you should be able to improve your position.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Something that you work really hard on might not turn out as well as you expected. Conversely, that to which you devote little effort could go over like gangbusters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Try to be tolerant and forgiving in involvements with both your family and friends. When you overlook their shortcomings, they, in turn, will overlook yours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although it might not be easy, a critical objective can be achieved. When Lady Luck sees that you are doing everything you can, she will lend a helping hand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You'll have good luck in fulfilling your expectations and hopes, but not necessarily in the way you expected. Unforeseen developments will cause you to scrap your original plans.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There are always those times when we turn out to be the victor with something in which we are vulnerable. If you happen to take a beating in the early rounds today, keep this in mind.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Usually, you don't blab things that should be kept to yourself, but today you might not be able to help telling on someone whom you really dislike. Try not to take the low road.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are days when socializing can be a negative experience, and it could be one of those times. If you find this happening to you, make a quick exit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your peers could find your motives suspicious, so if you think this to be true, make certain everything you do is above reproach. If you try anything funny, you'll be caught.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if you feel like sounding off to someone who really deserves it, it would be best that you don't. Hold your tongue and count to 10 or even 20, if that's what it takes to subdue your anger.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you find yourself involved in a financial transaction that requires a lot of paperwork, don't get lazy and take things for granted. Read the fine print, down to the very last comma.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Friends will tolerate a bit of restlessness on your part, but not to the point of changing group plans. Be thoughtful about your behavior.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When conversing with others, speak well of friends who aren't present, or say nothing at all. Any comments you make will be repeated and even distorted to those being spoken about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- To expedite certain tasks or assignments, you might be tempted to take a few shortcuts. Unfortunately, this might only cause more work for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It'll reflect poorly on your image if you try to take credit for something that you had only a small part in producing. Don't let your ego put you in an embarrassing position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don't overreact if another's point of view is diametrically opposed to yours. Remember, everyone is entitled to express his or her opinion. Show them some respect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When left to your own devices, you're pretty good at figuring things out. Complications could enter the picture, however, with comments by an unsolicited adviser.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You're likely to function far more effectively when you can operate independently. Sadly, you could be more of a hindrance in situations where teamwork is required.
