ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're fine-tuning a project that you have been working on for quite some time. Now you're eager to see if that work will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be feeling like a second-class citizen because of the treatment of someone in a position of authority. You needn't take it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can provide much that will exceed the expectations of those who have solicited your help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may be more interested in what you are saying than you are, and you have every reason to be guarded when night is approaching.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're waiting to hear what someone else has decided. Don't let yourself be put at a disadvantage because you've had to be idle for too long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to consider several issues that were never all that important to you in the past. Today is different in many interesting ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are getting started on something that can prove quite interesting to others in little time -- but much depends on how you spin it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You cannot be certain about everything, but one thing in particular will make you feel confident and capable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Mind your manners. Keep doing things in the right way -- and in the right order. Follow the rules, and you'll be rewarded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The right questions yield the right answers, but coming up with them in the first place may require a great deal of consideration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you have to say can be put directly, or you can follow a winding, indirect course of logic and persuasion. You know which is right!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If you're given a choice between what is easy and what will last, you will soon realize that it's not a choice at all. Think long term!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A certain key decision is worth examining. You may realize -- again -- that with the good comes the bad, and vice versa.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you're dealing in absolutes today, you're dealing in that which is only imaginary. Nothing is absolute, one way or the other.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be compelled to look closely at something that is usually taken for granted. A loved one holds up a mirror in which you see yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The meaning of a rather cryptic message is likely to be quite clear to you almost immediately. It's up to you to spread the word to others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone may be treating you in a manner that you feel is completely undeserved, so why are you willing to take it? It's time to speak up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The decisions you make today aren't likely to be long-term in reach, but you must take them just as seriously, nonetheless.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- An obstacle requires more than you are ready to give in order to overcome it. Take some time to prepare fully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Time may seem to speed up and slow down as if by magic, but it is all your own perception, of course. What is making the difference?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A job well done doesn't mean that you have fulfilled all your responsibilities to one who is truly relying on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can make a game out of almost anything, but today you will be required to think long and hard about what you are trying to accomplish.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is no time to feel sorry for yourself, even if things are harder than expected and a certain problem goes unsolved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A strong start puts you ahead of the game, which is good in both the short and the long term. You can use any advantage you get at this time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll receive news about an old friend that has you trying to reconnect in some way. Remember, however, that everything you do leaves traces.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can keep things light and lively throughout the day. There may be much to do, but there's no reason not to be jovial while you do it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel as though you're only repeating yourself at this time, but there are subtle differences that others will surely notice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You mustn't let yourself be put off by something that others consider merely routine. Anything that relieves you of a burden is to be exploited.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day to concentrate on private pleasures. Don't worry about whether what you like is also liked by others. This can only make things more fun!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If it's something more you want, then you're going to have to give a little more. You won't get something for nothing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're feeling as though negativity is all around you, but it may only be the way you are seeing things, and not the way they really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Are you willing to wait just a little longer to hit the jackpot? If so, there's likely to be a little more in the kitty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Avoid speaking in cliches today. You may think that you're being helpful when in fact you're only holding someone else back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Talk about someone behind his or her back at your own peril; he or she is sure to get you back when the opportunity presents itself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- An original idea is worth more than its weight in gold, but you may be able to parlay it into considerable profit if given the chance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may be trying to get you to go down the wrong road, but there is nothing malicious in this. It's simply a matter of taste.
