ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can increase the pace and your productivity. If you give someone else the chance to shine, he or she will return the favor very soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The best help you receive today comes from yourself. You know best what you need and how to acquire it. Evening hours bring a welcome rest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's important for you to do things in the right order today, as one step leads directly to the next, and so on. Are you ready to challenge fate?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're almost certain to attract attention today if you insist on doing what you have in mind. Perhaps that's not the best thing right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Honesty may be the best policy, but today omission may be necessary -- and that can surely be second-best. Don't reveal all your secrets!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll get another go at something you thoroughly enjoyed -- and this time you should be able to improve your performance considerably.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can do more to further your agenda. Someone with whom you share domestic duties has a bone to pick with you. Listen up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you're working with now may only be standard, and you want results that are anything but ordinary. You must acquire better tools!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can get some things done very quickly today -- but that doesn't mean your day is easy. Something may be unusually difficult right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may need some expert advice today, as you try to do something that is simply outside your skill set. It won't be impossible forever!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are tempted to make things "official" in some way, but you are wondering how a certain someone is going to react. Is it worth the risk?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel as though you've not been treated fairly of late -- but perhaps you've been standing in your own way. You can lighten the load.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to be introduced to something that can in time change everything, but for now you may be only minimally impressed.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) -- You may be tempted to do something that rubs someone the wrong way -- but is this your intention? You may want to think twice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Breaking the rules is always an option, but you must be sure that you're risking only what you can afford to lose if you are caught.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to listen to those who have not, in the past, agreed with you. They may bring up a few points that can change your point of view.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your mood has been swinging more dramatically than usual perhaps, but today you'll have good reason to put a lid on any wild behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll be tempted by someone who knows just how and when to push your buttons. Later in the day you'll be able to keep yourself safe.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're trying desperately to hang on to something that someone else is claiming as his or her own. Why not try sharing?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are more willing to listen to someone else today than you have been in any time within memory -- and you'll have the chance to do just that.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Why wait until tomorrow to complete something you begin today? Stay on the job, and don't be tempted to quit until success is yours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can get something for nothing today. Everything is likely to cost you; can you afford it?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You enjoy remembering a past success, but you mustn't let that keep you from embarking on something new today. The odds are with you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You receive news today that allows you to put into place a missing puzzle piece -- and that, in turn, allows you to move forward confidently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have several skills that should come in very handy today -- if you choose to step out of your comfort zone and address a challenge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be working harder to maintain contact with someone else than he or she is with you -- but your reason for doing so is far more compelling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel that you are very far right now from where you intended to be. You can improve things by joining forces with a friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've been considering someone's offer of cooperation, but you suspect the other party has an ulterior motive. Investigate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A period of stillness and quiet is welcome to you today, but it's not likely to last long. You must be ready to swing into action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The direct route to your destination may expose you to certain dangers you're not ready to face. A roundabout approach is more advisable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The more you can face a harsh reality today, the better prepared you will be for what comes tomorrow and the next day. Stand your ground.
