ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your perceptions should be accurate, so trust them. If you put too much stock in what another says, you could easily make a mistake.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be wary of those offering incentives or rewards; they may not have your best interests at heart. Carefully analyze any proposals that come your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You might believe that you're the one who is doing the lion's share of the work in a joint effort, but you're wrong. Stop whining and buckle down.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The key to success is to attempt only what you are well equipped to handle. Winging it will meet only with disaster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's good to think of your abilities as extraordinary, if there's some basis for it. If there isn't, though, you could underestimate the competition and be easily taken down.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Whatever you do, don't involve outsiders in a sensitive domestic matter. They might mean well, but their input could compound matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Boasting or exaggerating could lead to an embarrassing situation. There is a strong possibility that you could tell a fish story to a guy who has a ruler in his pocket.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be certain that you have your head on straight when it comes to your financial dealings. A lack of awareness could cause you to lose out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Carefully examine the motives of someone making a grandiose problem. There might not only be strings attached, there could be chains.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your self-discipline could be too lax for your own good. Your chart indicates that you're ignoring several undeveloped opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It behooves you to be as straightforward as you can in a sensitive conversation with a friend. Honesty is the best policy as long as you're kind as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Success will be denied you if you insist on nourishing self-doubts. If you don't think like a winner, you won't act like one, and the results will loudly reflect it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A business situation that has caused much concern is about to take a turn for the better, due to your persistent, gentle nudging. You'll soon see things moving in a profitable direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don't hesitate to discuss a household interest in detail with your spouse and/or the family before taking action. Someone might have a good suggestion that you would never have thought of.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're not likely to have much time to take it easy, because a serious matter could take precedence. Getting on it immediately will give you comfort and satisfaction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you get uptight, you'll only stifle your creativity and productivity. Try not to take yourself or anything in which you're involved too seriously.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a good chance you could spot something that could net you a nice profit. Although it'll be obvious to you, not everyone will see it the same way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Try to be tolerant of those who can't grasp things as quickly as you do. Putting people down won't enhance their productivity; it will only smother it further.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You have a knack for dealing with money or things of value. If you follow your instincts, you'll have a better than average chance for profit or gain.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Concentrating on endeavors that are of personal importance doesn't always represent selfish behavior. It's apt to be one of those days when it's necessary to put yourself first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you need to get your head together, forgo asking for advice from others. Seek solitude until you sort things out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When you treat others in a warm, friendly fashion, the odds are others will automatically be drawn to you, and you'll be repaid in the same fashion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don't sell yourself short in any competitive involvement, because luck will be tilted slightly in your favor and working against your opponent. Capitalize on it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Believe in yourself and your colleagues will follow suit. A strong sense of confidence will be your best tool and your strongest ally.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It won't be an absence of good ideas that could bog you down. Your problems are likely to come from the way you try to implement them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even though you'll have the ability to gain ground on an endeavor, if you let your guard down, you're likely to lose a little in the end. Be steadfast through it all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Associate with friends who appreciate material things much as you do. Pals who are far too loose with their dollars could trigger extravagance in you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your judgment in career matters is quite astute, yet there's a chance you could suddenly change your plans and not follow through on your intentions. Try to stay the course.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unfortunately, not everyone you encounter can be taken seriously. If you're smart, you'll keep your guard up, especially when dealing with any unknown quantities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although at times you can be a very generous person, this might not be the case today. You're not likely to share any gains, even with those who deserve a reward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be as diplomatic as you can, especially if you're trying to get others to endorse a difficult position. Market your conviction with authority.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Devote your time to persons who truly are in need of your help and expertise, not to those who are capable of making it on their own. Much joy can come from helping deserving parties.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If it becomes necessary for you to seek advice from a trusted counselor, be sure to impart the whole situation. Don't hold back on any of the warts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your industrious efforts are likely to count for little if you work at such a speed that you fail to see what you're missing. Slow down a bit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Proposals might sound good and even look great on paper, but don't jump on board without first checking things out. They might not hold up under close scrutiny.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Do not make a commitment that you know is likely to collapse in a heartbeat. If it turns out that you can't do what you promised, you had better beat a hasty retreat.
