ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Certain feelings leave you somewhat bewildered today; they are not unfamiliar in and of themselves, but the timing is strange to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be matched today with someone who complements you in many ways. Together you bring out the best and worst in each other.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may decide that a certain key relationship is actually quite toxic, and you know there is only one thing to do if that is so.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can demonstrate your expertise today. Not everyone is going to give you the attention you desire, but someone important is watching.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- One or two very small adjustments transform a mediocre idea into one that can really take off very soon. Be ready to get to work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The unexpected and the expected work together today to keep you wary and attentive. What happens during the evening confirms a suspicion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're far too concerned with words like "should" and "shouldn't" to make a real impact. Free yourself up and opportunities beckon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know how to wake someone up and focus his or her attention on the issues at hand, so why not do so right away? Both will benefit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to take over from someone today because of a scheduling snafu that favors you and puts him or her at a disadvantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may feel the need to explain yourself when all is said and done, but for now you needn't give a thought to why you must do a certain thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You require clarification today before heading off on a journey that will require you to fulfill certain expectations. What are they exactly?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Is the support you are getting from others really doing for you what you had hoped? Perhaps it's time to assemble a new team around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You aren't likely to realize until very late in the day just how far you are from your intended destination. Can you get there at all?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may do more damage trying to protect someone from a perceived danger than you can from preparing him or her to face it directly.
