ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have a certain advantage over the competition today, but you mustn't take it for granted or squander it in any way. Stay focused!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be reunited with someone who gets the best out of you in even the worst situations. Your excitement level increases greatly today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have trouble completing simple tasks today because you are so immersed in events that are too complicated. Strike a balance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must be willing to look at things in a far more detailed way than usual today. What happened yesterday will impact what happens today, surely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself pulled in more than one direction today by someone who doesn't understand how involved you really are in other things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Complications can be explained by day's end, but only after you put in a lot of effort to figure out just exactly what went wrong.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be surprised when the weather refuses to cooperate today. You can make on-the-spot adjustments, however, and see things through.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must work hard to prepare for a coming effort that you suspect will be more difficult than others are anticipating. Ask questions!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The difference between "seems" and "is" will be very clear to you throughout the day, and you may have to make it clear to those around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are planning to go farther today than you think may be required, but that's good reasoning; you may be delayed somewhat in the days to come.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are eager to see where the current road leads, but you mustn't do anything that takes undue advantage of anyone around you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are eager to get things done as quickly as possible -- but it's all relative! Today, nothing is likely to happen very fast at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The support you've been enjoying in the past may not be there for you today, so you'll have to go it alone for the time being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have the feeling you're being spied upon by someone who is eager to know what you know. There's nothing secret going on; tell the truth!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What someone does behind your back changes your mind about something you were very certain about only yesterday. Keep looking forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are sure to be surprised by certain developments today, but you're in a good place to untangle any webs that others weave.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your skills are in demand right now, but you may have little time to devote to other people's projects. You have your hands full with your own!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day to put all you can of yourself on display. You cannot impress everyone; keep an eye out for those you impress the most.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can do much to win over someone who has been a very vocal critic in the past. Once you explain yourself, all will be clear -- and forgiven.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Just because something looks to be quite long and involved doesn't mean it's worth skipping -- and it's something you can surely tackle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may gain some ground today by defying the powers that be, but you must do so in a way that protects others from any possible backlash.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The more you push against someone who is pushing against you, the less progress you will make. Use his or her energy to your advantage!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are willing to say what needs to be said, surely, but you must wait until the time is right -- and you mustn't be too aggressive, either!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- New ideas come to the fore today, and you can begin to apply them to your personal situation almost immediately. Others follow your lead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be the subject of certain accusations today that, by nightfall, will be revealed to be utterly baseless. Don't overreact.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You aren't likely to do things the way anyone else does them today. Who's going to learn from whom? You'll benefit from paying attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your intentions may clash with those of another today. See if you can work this out by coming up with a mutually acceptable alternative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you want and what you need are two very different things right now, and the day's events seem designed to prove this to you once and for all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't want to engage in a competition with someone who is unable to play by the rules. This can only be frustrating -- and dangerous, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- How you approach a certain problem today depends on how well you are able to see yourself through someone else's eyes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you're not able to give a certain task all you've got, then why try doing it at all? Now is no time to put in a second-rate effort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be able to understand what someone is trying to tell you until you are doing precisely what you've been warned against.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Professional responsibilities and personal needs may conflict somewhat today -- but you can come up with a suitable compromise.
