TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can lay the groundwork for something that will develop very quickly when the time comes. Today, you and a rival agree to disagree.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can acquit yourself today, even though you may have to regroup after a sudden and unexpected misstep early on. The truth sustains you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know just what remains to be set aside for a certain project. You will not miss it, despite the gains you will have made.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The question of strength versus gentleness isn't likely to be resolved today, but you'll have a chance to try each in its turn.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to gather your resources and make a plan for the future; despite thinking big, you'll want to get all the details squarely in place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Though you're not usually one to dwell on things in such a way, today you may find a certain issue impossible to ignore. Listen to others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are quite able to determine, and very quickly too, what must be done in certain situations -- and today you can prove it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're often able to move from one place to another very quickly, but will that really serve your current cause? It's time to stay put!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- While those around you anticipate making quick work of something, you know just how difficult it may truly be. It's time to prepare.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Just as you mustn't mistake appearances for the real thing, you mustn't mistake posturing for action. A bold move is required today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you begin reluctantly today is likely to conclude amid great excitement and enthusiasm -- if you have your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have a choice today between doing little or doing much -- and you know full well that only the latter will satisfy you at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is no time to say "I told you so," for that will do no good whatsoever. What you can do is put your considerable experience to use.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone in charge may express a desire for you to do something in a different way from now on, but that won't work for you. Discuss!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can lead someone precisely where he or she wants or needs to go, but then you'll have to ask yourself where you belong, as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're fitting in quite well to a process that was completely foreign to you not long ago. Those working with you acknowledge your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Whatever you have learned from a certain someone -- and only you know who that is -- you must be willing to put into action today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not know how to do things that others value, but you know how to do things that they don't know how to do, and that's valuable to you!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're attempting to synchronize your efforts with those of the group to which you belong, but now may not be the time. Try going solo.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- How you say and do things today could matter more than what you say and do. Style matters -- and you have that in spades!
