ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- No one wants what you want -- and yet it may be difficult for you to get your hands on it. Is availability the issue, or is it something else?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are moving in a new direction, even if you aren't aware of it yet or know precisely where it may lead. Your instincts are keen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What another does before you, you can do even better when your turn comes. This pattern continues for a while; you'll come out on top.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may hear news through the grapevine that, fortunately, is proved to be nothing but rumor later on. You don't have to change a thing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- That which has been already planned can proceed without delay; that which requires further planning may have to wait awhile to get started.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You certainly don't want to repeat yourself today, but it may be necessary to borrow from your bag of tricks to see something through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll have the chance to explore unknown territory today. Take care that you don't expose yourself to a risk you cannot see ahead of time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be challenged to do something that requires you to overcome a basic, deep-seated fear. Get a running start if you can!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Slow and steady may not win you any races, but it will certainly allow you to pass through a danger zone relatively unscathed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you accomplish with a partner today could never have been done solo, and you know it. Express your gratitude openly and honestly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You receive information from afar that may be suspicious at first -- until further investigation proves to you that it is indeed accurate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You shouldn't have to do more than you have scheduled today -- unless, of course, you sense that additional labor can increase your returns.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are likely to be affected by issues surrounding official policies. You don't want to bring career tensions home with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It shouldn't surprise you all that much today when what you see is not quite what you get. Things have been suspicious for a while now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be taken by surprise by someone who works behind the scenes. How you adjust to a certain change speaks to your overall expertise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You and a rival can come to a tentative agreement today, keeping things from spiraling out of control. Others appreciate your continued efforts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may feel as though you have nothing left to give, but when the chips are down, you'll be able to come through for someone who needs you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The timing of an unexpected demand may not be in line with your overall plans -- but there are adjustments you can make to maximize efficiency.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be expected to go somewhere you cannot get to, or complete something you cannot do. It's certainly a good time to negotiate more actively.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Where others are lacking, you can certainly pick up the slack. Many people are trying to emulate you, but no one equals your resolve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be unusually emotional today about an issue that usually leaves you cold -- if it prompts any reaction at all. What's different?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A personal realization affects your productivity at the workplace today. You may have a surprise announcement to make toward day's end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Though a replacement may not equal a former partner's abilities, you can certainly forge a lasting bond and increase overall effectiveness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not see the humor in a situation that someone close to you finds very funny indeed. Is it you, or is something else at play?

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A difference of opinion must not be allowed to slow or stop the progress you are making at this time. You must be willing to compromise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must not vacillate today; you must be willing to stick to your guns and challenge anyone who would challenge you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A certain task may require a little extra effort, but you are able to give it -- and then some. Indeed, this may prove a banner day for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- While the insults are flying, you'll want to steer clear. You must not get yourself mixed up in anything so pointless at this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not understand someone else's approach, but you can appreciate that he or she is doing what can be done. It's time to join forces, perhaps.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been missing something that, once found, will prove quite important to you. A friend has words for you, and you may be surprised.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You cannot do it all yourself -- nor should you. Today, you must be patient while you allow others to do their jobs as assigned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good time for you to show someone else how it's done -- and you can do so without seeming to be cocky or fishing for praise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must realize that if you are new on the scene, you're not likely to be given every opportunity; you're going to have to wait your turn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can try something that you've not tried before, but you mustn't expect to be successful the first time. You must put in some practice!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's never too late to do your best, and today the climate is just right for you and those who wish to join forces with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must be honest in your assessment of your work right now; any self-deception can only work against you -- now, as always.
