TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can stem the tide of rising discontent on the home front simply by doing what seems most sensible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't let a knee-jerk reaction pull you into the realm of difficulty. You can solve problems easily by remaining calm and collected.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must follow the instructions you are given, even if they seem not to make a lot of sense to you right now. They will, in time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be tempted by something that you know is wrong for you at the moment. Trust a friend to keep you on the straight and narrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be impressed by the way a new member of your team is able to get with the program so quickly. He or she offers some inspiration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're getting very good at telling other people what they want to hear. Be careful, however, as some can see through that tactic!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are not likely to progress very far entirely on your own. You may not be in the mood for teamwork, but it can bring success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're taking something very lightly when it is actually far more serious than anyone might suppose. You must face certain immutable facts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that you aren't putting undue strain on an already troubled relationship. You're asking a lot more than usual.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone else's advice may come across as more insistent than it is meant, but that's only the result of your own unusual perspective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's a good day to promote a current project, but you'll want to warn those who are interested that it's not quite what they may expect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be reunited with someone who has figured prominently in your affairs in the past. Many things will take on a very different quality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's not necessary for you to do everything for someone else. Just show him or her the way and step back. He or she can learn much from you.
