TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An assignment proves too much for you today -- but a friend steps in and gives you the support and counsel you need. You can get it done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will have to trust the one person who is watching out for you today -- and if you don't, you will certainly have a hard time of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can accomplish more than has been assigned to you today -- but only if someone close to you has your back, for there is some danger involved.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be acting in a seemingly random fashion as far as other people are concerned, but there's nothing "random" going on at all!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A smile and a laugh, delivered at the right time and in the right place, can work wonders today. There's no reason to take yourself too seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may make a few unforced errors today, but, in the end, you'll be recognized for good work -- and for one or two simply extraordinary ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Like your Libra neighbor, you're going to have to make the best of a situation that is not of your making. Still, you can rise to the top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will find yourself doing things that impress others, though that is by no means your intention. You'll take it when it happens, however!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Don't shy away from the bigger issues that others are wanting to discuss today. You will want to get them behind you if you can, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good day to take care of business in the usual way -- at least for a while. You may come to a point that demands some improvisation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have a clear choice today: You can double down on a mistake you recently made, or you can correct it. You can't have it both ways!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The direct approach may be advised by some, but, in truth, you are best to try something that is more subtle and suggestive today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You receive instructions that send you in an unexpected direction today. Focus on the things that confirm your suspicions and beliefs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ambition is keen, and your willingness to do whatever is necessary is not easily matched at this time. There are no guarantees, however!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to be tested by someone today in a way that you have never expected. This is a lesson you'll carry with you for quite some time.
