ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You find yourself in a position that causes you more stress than expected -- but then, you've not been paying attention lately, have you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're in no mood to do what you are told today, but that's not a good enough reason to risk angering another. Stay in line!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things you do today are likely to inspire others to react in certain ways; it all adds up if you look at it from the right perspective.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A little quick thinking works wonders today -- especially when you are in the transition phase between planning and implementation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something that worked very well for you only yesterday may not prove as reliable today. Things are shifting in ways you haven't foreseen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're going to want to choose your words very carefully today, as the message you have to impart may not be what someone wants to hear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Those who have been watching you of late may be surprised to learn that much of what you've been doing has been calculated for effect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are afraid that you may prove ineffectual today, but that's just nerves. The fact is that you are ready to make a big difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may encounter danger today if you are compelled to travel any significant distance from home. This is a good reason to stay put!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're getting into the habit of doing something repeatedly that only a short time ago you wouldn't have done at all. What's the upshot?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have little to fear today if you follow the path you've laid out for yourself. Drifting off course can prove hazardous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You would instruct anyone else to look both ways before crossing the street. This holds true for you today -- both literally and figuratively.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Never say "never" -- you know what happens when you do! Today, you may relive an experience that is far better in the retelling of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What has worked for you in the past isn't likely to do it for you now -- but you'd better tell someone, or adjustments cannot be made.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care today that you do not bite off more than you can chew. If you overcommit in this way, you will be exposing yourself to certain danger.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What is beneficial to you today is not necessarily as helpful to one of your partners or family members. A compromise must be struck.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to embrace someone's point of view today without sacrificing your own; there is certainly room for both!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You received a promise, but are still waiting for it to be realized. Saying something outright may be premature; you'll want to wait a bit longer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have the chance today to trade one thing for another and come out ahead. A friend or family member offers an unexpected warning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will not be able to get things done today without acknowledging the contributions of someone on the sidelines.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Plans are not likely to pan out as expected today -- and yet you won't be able to say you didn't receive a warning. Make the best of it!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be fighting against those whose views are not really all that different from your own. Why are you being so contrary?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not likely to arrive at your destination today, but that doesn't mean you'll be spinning your wheels. The journey itself is valuable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good day to claim what is yours -- and to let others do the same. You will in no way be threatened by someone else stepping forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to strike just the right balance today when dealing with a friend who is out of sorts. You don't want to make things worse!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You feel that things are looking up, and your attitude is improving as well. You make a plan that may be implemented almost immediately.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you say today is going to be remembered -- not for what it means to people right now, but for what it means in the long haul. Write it down!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You want things to happen in a way that promotes harmony among all those interacting with each other -- and today that's not an impossibility.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to watch others from afar today without taking part. You are under the influence of something stronger than you are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can point someone else in the right direction today, surely, but where does that leave you? You don't have things lined up, do you?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Putting your best foot forward today may not be as easy as you had supposed, but not because of anything you have done. Find the cause.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The reasons for certain things are clear, but that doesn't mean you'll grasp them right away. You have a few important lessons to learn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have the chance today to embrace someone else's philosophy -- and even if you do it for only a short time, the benefits can be far-reaching.
