TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be surprised to discover what someone else knows -- especially since the method of the discovery takes a very unusual form.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's important that you follow the rules today, without question. Now is not the best time to try to assert your individuality.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You need a little wiggle room today in order to do what needs to be done -- and you were much better simply to take it than to ask for it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can enjoy a homecoming of sorts, but first you're going to have to get something done that all those around you are waiting for you to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A complicated situation is made just a little easier today because you are applying your considerable brainpower to a fundamental problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you see isn't what you get -- especially when you have wandered into unfamiliar territory. All you have to rely on are your instincts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Trying to make things happen today can speed things up, surely, when waiting for them to happen merely extends the status quo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Trying to force something into place is not the answer today. Instead, think about the problem and approach it sequentially.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- An accident uncovers a simple truth today that you can rely on to get everyone on the same page, working toward a common goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A break in the action allows you the opportunity to assess your progress and alter your plans to accommodate a shift in momentum.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Changing someone's mind may be much more difficult today than it would have been yesterday -- or than it will be tomorrow, very likely.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) -- You're likely to experience something today that you're going to want to recount to others, perhaps more than once. Keep accurate records.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 22) -- You will want to stand by your principles today, no matter how difficult that becomes. Compromise even a little and a downward spiral begins.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You cannot remove the emotional component entirely from a certain endeavor, but you can keep your feelings to yourself when you have to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You do not want to sacrifice something merely for the chance of getting your hands on something else; you know that's not a fair trade!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be able to take someone else along for a wild ride today -- but take care that you're not endangering anyone in the process.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can contribute to a routine affair in such a way that it makes it rather extraordinary. This is how you can make memories.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You mustn't walk away from a situation that is not of your making; rather, you can influence others to see that it all comes out OK.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Change is in the air, but you will want to hang on to certain things and carry them with you no matter how different the scenery is tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be somewhere you don't really want to be, but you cannot leave and get back home until you've completed a certain necessary task.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to talk yourself into something that doesn't come naturally. Today, even your worst enemy can be something of a friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A positive attitude allows you to navigate a certain situation far more effectively -- and it may well open several new doors for you as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take care that you don't reveal too much of what you are up to before you are ready to do so. Timing makes all the difference today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your actions can certainly speak louder than words today -- but there will be times in which you must use words to impart key information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may enjoy a second chance today in a situation that requires you to offer only your best in both style and substance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A Capricorn or Aquarius native plays an unusual role today, and you may have to change your thinking to accommodate his or her needs.
