ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An endeavor might prove to be more difficult than you thought it would be, but that's no reason to scuttle it. You'll just have to give it more time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It might be one of those rare times when you'll lack discipline in the management of your resources. Unless you stop yourself from being overly extravagant, you'll regret it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If everyone is going in one direction while you're headed in another, you had better stop and ask yourself who is out of step.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is definitely a line between healthy optimism and wishful thinking. If you can't tell the difference, you could turn success into failure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't let it be said of you that you're only nice to those who can do something for you. People will see right through you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your staying power might have its limitations. If the going gets tough, instead of pushing yourself, you might throw in the towel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When working with others, don't pretend to be knowledgeable about something you know little about. The only one who'll be taken in by this pretense will be you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Give a wide berth to any involvement that could put you in the position of having to pay for someone else's mistakes. If you can't call the shots, call a cab.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be on guard when having to negotiate with an individual about whom you know little. Not everyone has high standards.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you're not likely to have a problem grasping the big picture, you could lack an eye for detail. To be on the safe side, tread carefully and don't trip over the little things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You could be extremely lucky in an area of great importance, one in which you've rarely experienced good fortune in the past. Take advantage of this break.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be doubly alert for multiple opportunities to make or save money. A beneficial cycle is developing, and will produce some windfalls that could be substantial.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Maintain as much direct control over your own affairs as possible. You will do things far more effectively than will your subordinates.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The old saying: "We get to heaven leaning on the arms of people we help," will apply today. Any kindness you show to others will be repaid in far greater measure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- As long as you maintain a positive attitude, success is likely in all of your important endeavors. Envision the results you desire, and take practical measures to bring them about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even if your companions deem your plans overblown, don't be afraid to think on a large scale. They're viewing the scenario from the wrong perspective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you're required to make a decision that involves an associate, take into account your personal opinion of this individual. Certain human factors can be very important.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- In matters of small consequence, you're not likely to pay much attention to the details, but if something is important, the opposite will be true.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't be surprised if you don't grasp the essence of an idea as quickly as you usually do. It's one of those days when your head is likely to be off in the clouds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It behooves you to be more careful concerning your possessions. Pay attention not only to how you handle them, but where you leave them, even for just a minute.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your friends and family will take you at your word, so think twice before speaking. What you consider to be merely a comment might be taken as a promise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Instead of giving input on a topic that you know little about, just be a good listener. There is a strong chance that if you flap your gums, you will be challenged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be wary of anybody, even a trusted friend, trying to pry some confidential information out of you. This person's motives might be devious.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It isn't a great idea to participate in an expensive pastime with a friend who is always reluctant to pay his or her fair share. Why would you expect something to change?
