CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A decision made early in the day pays off quite handsomely. If you are forced to delay, however, there may be a heavy price to pay.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You know just what has to be done today, and you're ready to do it. Someone reminds you that something else must be accomplished simultaneously.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- All manner of influences keep you from doing something the way you had anticipated. Still, you can get it done on time and under budget.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may adopt one or two very unusual methods today, but they are likely to prove more effective because you are the one employing them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be surprised at how fast things happen all around you today. You can keep up, surely, but you may have to make one small sacrifice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are playing an important role at this time, but not everyone understands what you have to gain by doing so. You can explain!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- An early start yields results almost immediately, but that doesn't mean you'll be ahead of the game all day long. You can expect a delay.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something that is just beginning may be both exciting and frightening -- or are you mistaking one emotion for the other? Keep moving forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You feel more connected to those who are far more distant than you might prefer. Information comes to you through back channels, perhaps.
