ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may want to look back at a past episode to determine whether you have progressed or taken a step backward. The truth cannot be denied.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are eager to enjoy something new and different, but you must accept the fact that it is not likely to be permanent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can warn others of certain dangers that only you can see on the horizon. Someone must make a firm decision; should it be you?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You and a friend can have a good deal of fun today, but you must make sure that it's not at the expense of a third party's feelings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can give others much that they need at this time, and you'll get something quite valuable in the exchange. Your reputation soars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can maximize your gains today, but not everyone will appreciate either your methods or your motives. One critic in particular is quite vocal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must consider all possible outcomes today as you chart a course based on probability. Experience and instinct both serve you well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone makes you an offer today that you may be unable to refuse, but you must realize that much will change if you do accept it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can combine the old and the new in ways that impress others -- and someone in charge is likely to open a new door to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An accidental encounter proves more important to you today than you might have thought. What follows takes you down an unfamiliar road.

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.

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!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be given a kind of "test" today by someone who wants to know just how reliable you really are. You are likely to pass with flying colors.

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.
