AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You receive news that puts how you are feeling in perspective. Now you know that there's nothing wrong with you. Examine details.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not see things clearly at first, but later in the day the clouds lift and what you were expecting is likely to be revealed to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You cannot stop a thing today before it has reached its maturity; you must be willing to go the distance and follow where it will lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your admiration for someone who is doing what you would like to be doing can either cause frustration or offer inspiration. Which will it be?

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are so busy trying to decipher the small print that you are unable to take in the overall message. Step back and take in the big picture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone jogs your memory today and has you wishing you were doing something you haven't done in quite a while. You still know how!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You want to include someone else in your affairs, but won't likely have the time to get him or her up to speed. It's a risk!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Travel allows you to see things you otherwise wouldn't -- depending on where you find yourself going. Is this trip for business or pleasure?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know something others don't, but now is not the time to reveal it. You must wait until the conversation comes around to a certain topic.
