ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must concentrate on what is going on all around you today; you mustn't miss something important simply because it is behind you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are keenly interested in what someone else is doing -- but not for the right reasons, perhaps. You can settle a dispute during the evening.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things are not going the way you had expected, but they may soon be going better than you had hoped. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can work things out today with a friend who has been less interested in making progress than you have. He or she gets with the program.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be missing out on something that others are enjoying at this time, but the reason is one that you can neither deny nor ignore.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make sure that a certain issue doesn't drag you down today. A friend reaches out at an unusual time, asking forgiveness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have more time to get things done than you had anticipated today -- but that's no reason to procrastinate. Get your work done ASAP!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your desires may conflict with those of a close friend or family member. Today you'll realize that you can't have things "both ways."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're hanging a great deal on a notion that is really rather flimsy. It's time to shift your allegiance to something more substantial.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- That which you most expected to transpire is likely to wait for another day or two. Something else happens that interests you even more!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your keen instincts are telling you much that would otherwise be hidden. A viable alternative presents itself late in the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There is no need for you to take on every challenge on your own today. Ask for help and you will certainly receive it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to undergo something uncomfortable today in order to solve a problem that has been sneaking up on you for some time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you really want is likely to remain out of reach today, but making a plan to close the gap can serve you well in many ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Loyalty and faithfulness give you a great deal to think about today -- whether yours or someone else's. You're on the right track, surely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can look back on a certain past project and be proud of your contribution. Now it's time to plan something just as exciting.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have special needs today that can be met only by one who knows you better than anyone else, but he or she can give you only so much time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Follow instructions today, but know that you will have some "wiggle room" later on and can benefit from a little improvisation. Use your imagination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone who has played an important part in your life in recent days or weeks is likely to fade into the background for a time today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can go your own way today without thinking that others will fault you for your independence. Indeed, you're likely to inspire them!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Trust proves a major issue today, whether it is trust of a certain individual or trust of the "system." Your instincts serve you well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are involved in a great deal of clandestine maneuvering today, which can be quite time-consuming. Why not do it all out in the open?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You cannot afford to increase your stress level at this time, lest you suffer irreparable damage of some kind. Lie low today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know what you're looking at, but you may not understand why it's happening now and not at some later date. Get all the info!
