ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that what you and a friend each want is not in direct conflict with the other's desires. You must strive to be more in sync.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A seeming accident reveals itself to be entirely intentional on the part of someone who has been lurking in the shadows for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't want to jump into anything without weighing the potential gains and possible risks. Be aware of what's going on all around you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be paying close attention to social issues today. Is there anything that you can do to change the way things are going?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You think more is possible than those working with you today -- and you can prove that you are right! Put a far-fetched idea into motion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A friend is revealed to be quite different from the person you thought you knew well. This doesn't mean the relationship must change, however.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's a good day for trying something new -- especially where an old, familiar routine is concerned. Break from the norm and see what happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Change is fast approaching, and you must do all you can to be flexible when the need arises. Readiness is all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Quality control has become a serious issue that only you may be able to address in any effective way. Just do what you know how to do!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your view of the days ahead give you pause, but the evidence suggests that you have nothing to worry about. Adopt a cautious optimism.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know what is required of you, and you know what is possible. Your troubles begin where these two very clear notions intersect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The information you require may not be where you expected to find it. Has someone changed the rules of the game and not told you?

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may become frustrated when someone doesn't follow the rules -- but then you may begin to think that you should follow suit. Is it safe?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The guidance you get from another is sound and reliable, but you have a secret reason for doing a certain thing your way at this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be subject to imaginative fits that have you thinking you are in danger when, in fact, all is safe and secure right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't let yourself be distracted by someone who is intentionally trying to throw you off your game. Stay focused at all times.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are enthusiastic about the possibilities that lie before you, despite being in close contact with someone who gives voice to serious doubts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be intrigued by someone who threatens to pull you away from what you know you should be doing at this time. What's in it for you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are ready to float an idea that you've been working on for quite some time -- but you mustn't reveal everything all at once today!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Process is far more important than product today; you will learn a great deal by following the path that is laid out before you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't be too quick to say no to someone whose ideas are habitually far-fetched. This time, you may want to listen closely!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have the advantage as the day opens, and can hang onto it no matter what transpires. You are feeling confident and capable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will want to dig deeper than usual today to come up with the answers to one or two difficult questions. Don't shy away from the truth!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are far more interested in what is going on behind the scenes than you are in what might be waiting for you center stage.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you give an inch, someone else is likely to take a mile today; you're going to have to be more stubborn and inflexible than usual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- While you are usually very strong in exactly the kind of situation you now find yourself, today you may show some signs of weakness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The more you do to try to win today, the less likely you will be to make the headway you are counting on. Just do your job; keep it simple.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to examine your internal rhythms and impulses today, before letting anyone else "dissect" you in any way. Protect yourself!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A stroll down memory lane with an old friend brings you even closer together, perhaps in a way you had not foreseen. Is this even allowed?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can avoid resentment on all fronts by disconnecting that part of yourself that habitually reacts in a knee-jerk fashion. Be rational!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- How you approach a difficult situation with a friend will tell you and others a lot about your suitability for a new and difficult job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Things are not progressing according to plan, but you can make that work for you rather than against you. A rival makes a move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself scampering to get things done before someone else shows up on the scene and changes everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't want to find yourself caught between two irresistible, immovable forces today. Stay mobile; don't rest in one place for too long.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your creativity will be on display all day long -- but you can't expect everyone to enjoy the results. So much is a matter of taste.
