ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to pay the price today for something that is entirely someone else's responsibility. In time, you can be reimbursed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good day for complete immersion in something new and perhaps a little frightening. Remember, it's all in fun, isn't it?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is more than one way to skin a cat -- or so the saying goes. Today, you'll prove to those around you that it's truer today than yesterday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be in charge of more than you had expected today, and someone by your side will hold the key to a mystery you must solve immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can do a lot more today to take care of those around you. It's not so much a matter of health, exactly, but comfort and contentment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What's new these days that wasn't at all applicable just a few days ago? The answer to this question leads you down an unfamiliar path.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's more important to do what is right than to do what is memorable at this time. How you focus your energy makes all the difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must collect all the tools you need before starting a new task. Prepare for what might happen, not for what will probably happen.
