ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Distractions abound today, but you can still get everything done without having to lock yourself away. Your attention is quite keen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to step in and show others "how it's done" today. Take care, however, that you don't overdo it and hurt yourself somehow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be concerned with more than optics today; indeed, safety and security are key issues that you cannot afford to overlook at this time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When the time comes to step up and do what only you can, you'll know it. You will require no cues from anyone else.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can get more done working with a rival than against him or her -- but that's nothing new. What is new is the fun you two can have together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day to reach out to another and credit him or her for the positive influence he or she has had on your life. Be honest!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Something difficult is easy today, and something easy is far more difficult than it has ever been. Not everything will be topsy-turvy like this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your disappointment over a recent poor performance is offset today by the delight you take in someone else's success. This shows good sense!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Style isn't everything, but it's a large component of what you have to provide today. You can do what you are called upon to do, surely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Giving another what he or she asks for may be doing an injustice; it's a good day to encourage everyone to work harder for what they want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can trust in the laws of physics to see you through today. Inertia doesn't have to keep you standing still; it can keep you moving!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to fend for yourself when you were counting on having help when things got really tough. The day brings opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The difference between what you know to be true and what you only think is true lies at the center of a key issue that you must resolve today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A clash of wills cannot be avoided today. You want to be the one to call the shots when all is said and done, and timing is the key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can avoid doing or saying anything awkward by following your instincts and staying out of a situation that is completely foreign.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Focus on that which seems out of place today. The more you ponder the situation, the more you'll realize just how important it really is.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Great things can happen today, and that's not just a matter of interpretation. Everyone should acknowledge that your potential is high.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are entering a highly creative phase, but the indicators are few. You must interpret things very differently at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone you know can shed light on an issue that has been in the shadows for too long. Your personal development continues apace.
