ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone is trying to derail your plans with a scheme that cannot hold water. You won't have to wait long until the threat disappears.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Things are lining up in your favor today, but you will still have to prove yourself when the time comes. You know exactly how to do this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something new is about to begin, and you must prepare yourself by dispensing with anything old that may be insidiously holding you back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are many possibilities before you today, and what you choose will depend upon more than timing. State of mind is an issue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to promote yourself and your ideas more aggressively at this time. Make no mistake, however -- you are still only human.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The difference between what is real and what is only imagined may become blurred today. Do what you can to steer others in the right direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your perception of a certain event is likely to differ dramatically from the official version. Let others know what you think.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you have to say must be said directly today. Don't let anyone intimidate you or make you think you have less to offer than you really do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone else's mistakes are likely to benefit you in ways that you will not immediately recognize. Later you'll be more aware.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An assignment you receive today needn't be accepted immediately. Take the time to assess its potential -- and your own as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- No explanation is likely to be good enough today when you are facing those whom you have recently offended. Only an apology will suffice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Whether you are working indoors or playing outside, you'll want to apply yourself in a manner that lets others know you mean business.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be able to control the actions of those within your inner circle, but what happens outside of it may be anyone's guess at this time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are more emotional today than usual, but does it have to do with a recent loss -- or a coming opportunity? It should be quite apparent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A surprise may have you jumping the gun in some way today. You'll have the chance to reset, fortunately, and do things at the right times.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're eager to move forward in a more aggressive manner, but "faster" doesn't necessarily mean you'll be more effective.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An idea you've long embraced may not amount to much today when it's put into action. You are sure to realize what mistakes you've made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be tempted to break with tradition and do something that no one expects, but that isn't necessarily the way to win over your critics.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to get the consent of another before moving in a certain direction. Is this because danger is involved? Get the whole story.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Things may take longer to go through the system today than you had anticipated. Make productive use of any time spent waiting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It may be easier today than yesterday to follow the rules and do the things you are told to do. A new opportunity gets your attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are concerned that things may not be progressing the way you had hoped. Today is a good day to perform an honest self-assessment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be remembered, surely, for your grace under fire. What happens today can serve as an example for many as the future beckons.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The difference between "need" and "want" becomes clear once more. You are able to accomplish something that a rival has only dreamed about.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A pressing matter may keep you from doing what you've long looked forward to, but that doesn't mean the opportunity is gone for good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Weather and other external forces seem to be working against you for a time, until you realize you can rearrange your plans in response.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find a certain issue quite confusing today, especially because of the way it is being presented. You can illuminate matters eventually.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your judgment may not be completely unbiased, but it's the best you have to go on right now. No one else feels quite the way you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to make some unusual arrangements today to get certain things done, but better that than leave them undone altogether.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you want to do may not be acceptable to some others, but you have some wiggle room and may be able to persuade the naysayers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Others around you are eager to see things done in a new way, when you are more interested in old-fashioned methods. Compromise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Financial arrangements may not come together today as you had hoped, but you're not likely to be out of pocket very much ready cash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Some may think you are exaggerating, but the truth is that a certain situation is just as good as you say it is today -- or just as bad.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can afford to be much more choosy than usual today when it comes to options presented at the workplace. Nothing is forever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not reach all your goals today, but that's no reason not to try. The further you get, the closer you are to your destination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've decided to do something that goes against common wisdom, but you've had success doing such things in the past, so why not?
