ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must know that what you have to say will be heard -- and yet you may not be investing them with strength or confidence just yet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've got your eye on the prize, but as you get closer it may become clear to you that you really want something else entirely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have decided recently to put all your eggs into one certain basket -- but today, just in time, you'll realize your mistake.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you've been working for is almost at hand, but there are one or two final doors to open before you are truly satisfied.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A co-worker intrigues you with behavior that seems to be from another time or place. Take care that you don't risk too much for the wrong reasons.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not understand why a friend has chosen a path that diverges from your own -- but this is not a permanent separation, surely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Criticism that comes your way today may seem harsher than it really is. There are one or two lessons to be learned from it, in fact.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- How you express yourself, especially where difficult concepts are concerned, will surely impress those handing out honors and rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's a good time for you to ask for what you feel you truly deserve -- but much will depend on your manner and timing, of course.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be in control of a great deal today, but make no mistake -- there are some things that no one can control, including you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know the rules, and you know the reasons for them, so why are you so tempted to bend or break them? Do things by the book.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will recognize possibilities that you have not even noticed in the recent past -- but they've been there all along.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your argument today is not with anyone in particular, but with a great many who support a certain ill-advised point of view.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can be a bit more flexible when it comes to working with those who have a different method from your own. Your goals are the same.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Options you face today are attractive, but you may not be compelled to explore all of them fully; one in particular is for you right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not yet ready to put on display the project you have been working on; wait until surrounding forces support your efforts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be watched today, but not by those who are usually critical of your efforts. This is nothing to feel anxious about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may feel free to express yourself with a bit more abandon than usual -- but even then you're not likely to challenge the status quo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A few obstacles are likely to pop up today, but the first two may prove inconsequential; it's the third you have to worry about!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're interested not only in what must be done, but why -- and especially when you are dealing with orders that are handed down by others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Take care that you do not succumb to vanity. You'll want to be confident, sure, but maintain a realistic view of yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be fooled by what is presented to you in a straightforward manner; you must be more concerned with what is behind the scenes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can share your thoughts with one who disagrees with you without risking a serious conflict today; it's all in how you present them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have little comprehension of an overriding issue affecting higher-ups -- thank goodness! You don't want to be dealing with that!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find that it's nearly impossible to stick to a schedule that was imposed upon you. Take the time to rearrange things as necessary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your natural confidence will be enough to enable you to face a situation that may be rather frightening to others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be prepared to say "no" to one person while saying "yes" to another today -- and to explain your reasons for the decision you've made.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can promote your own agenda today in a way that doesn't rub anyone else the wrong way. The boss wants to hear what you have to say.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not have the energy you think you have today, so conservation will be a major concern at least once -- and probably twice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Energy will rise as inspiration hits you -- probably toward midday. Indeed, when all is working well, nothing can stop you!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll want to try to get as much done in the least possible time -- but you can't afford to be sloppy. Efficiency is the issue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to get back to the basics today, and avoid overcomplicating issues that, on their own, can get complicated enough.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your overall strategy is sound, but your tactics may require some adjustment. A competitor seems to know what you'll do next.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good day to bend, but not break, the rules. The more you challenge another, the more heated an already volatile situation may become.
