ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What appears to you to be somewhat warped or distorted as the day begins will become clear as crystal later on -- just in time, in fact.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be happy for another's good fortune, and for oddly personal reasons. You can take what you learn and use it, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your sense of fun and invention can surely serve you well. What you make out of nothing can prove quite valuable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have more to do than you had planned on, and all because of a chance encounter. These extra tasks are things you actually want to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day for sharing what you know with those around you and celebrating the power you all have in common.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are two ways of going about the necessary tasks. One is the right way, and one the wrong, but which is which is entirely subjective.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know better than anyone else just how to face your own fears, and you know that it is not yet the time to do so -- but it's coming.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- After working long and hard in relative obscurity, you're likely to attract a great deal of attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your exploration of what goes on around you may seem to be unfocused at first, but there is, indeed, a method to your madness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It may seem that forces conspire against you at first, but while circumstances may not be all positive, you can certainly win the day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've been going about things in a less-than-direct way, but you'll have the opportunity to streamline your work and get to the point.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may want to try things backward or upside-down, just to give yourself the benefit of a new perspective. Yes, it can be done!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Not everything can be taken at face value, of course, but that which can will certainly give you a solid footing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your instincts tell you one thing while the facts tell you something else. The truth, of course, is likely a combination of the two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be trying too hard to please others. In the end, what really matters is that you are recognized for your honest intentions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're going to have to put your trust in another in such a way that requires more from you than just patience. This will all work out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Once you find the exact spot, you'll realize that you have power and influence. What does this mean exactly? You have always known!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Do you have something in mind that can be easily comprehended by others, or something that is rather mystifying? Each has its value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to win praise for something that may have started quite by accident. Still, you know how to ride a wave.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're used to working in tandem with a certain favorite partner, but you may have to go your separate ways for a time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're developing a curious habit that may require some serious study -- starting, perhaps, when the unexpected happens.
