ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Contact with an old friend may not be as pleasurable today as you had hoped. Is this because you have changed in ways you did not suspect?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be wondering why you were "cut off" in some way, but the truth comes to light late in the day: This was likely your doing entirely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must trust that things will work out well today even though you are not playing a central role. A friend stands up for you just in time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself tangled up in details that you don't know how to sort out. A professional colleague offers a suggestion that works wonders.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know that you don't yet have all the information you need to make a key decision, but the decision may have already been made, yes?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have a few decisions to make today that are likely to affect others even more profoundly than they do yourself. Go over things twice!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must be willing to face the truth today, even though it's not likely to give you much comfort. You benefit from a realistic outlook.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be able to keep up your current efforts for very long, as you will soon have to deal with a shortage of energy or resources -- or both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be one to keep a secret today, and you have to let people know that before they reveal things that must not be shared!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You want to part of the "in" crowd, but in reality, you have little in common with them, and they can offer you little of value right now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have the feeling that something is happening behind your back that you're not supposed to know about. A careful look reveals all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to pay attention to the dynamics between two of your friends. What happens between them reflects your influence, in part.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- An unintentional game of hide-and-seek helps you solve a mystery today. What happens next may well prove controversial to some.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's not a matter of what someone else has that you don't, but what you have that no one else does. That's what really counts today!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What starts quickly today isn't likely to last long -- but what gets going slowly and with intention can be sustained for the long haul.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A trip down memory lane offers you more than a glimpse of the way things used to be. Very soon, a new idea revives a past glory.
