ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're going to have to give a certain effort all you've got today; hold back even a little and you risk all that is important to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to work closely with others today to ensure that what is done is intended and not at all accidental. Make your true desires known.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll have a chance to negotiate for better terms than you've had to endure lately at the workplace. Higher pay may well be the result!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're doing things that you've always done, and yet you sense that others are paying more attention. You've really hit your stride, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will surely want to stay involved in a certain project today, but you may have to contribute from the road. Travel cannot be postponed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to make arrangements today that are quite different from those you've made in the past under similar circumstances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The instructions you were hoping to receive never get to you today, so you must trust your instincts -- and your keen visual imagination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to rely on charm to open doors for you today, as you do not have the track record of achievement to speak for you. Smile!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone who knows you well may think that he or she understands what you are doing today -- and why -- but it's a shallow interpretation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take turns. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have what it takes to make a difference. By working with others, you can achieve much.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are once again after something that has been quite elusive in the past. A shift occurs that has you regaining your balance slowly later on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must be willing to speak openly today about an issue that has been bubbling to the surface over the past few days. Many will listen!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're trying to do something in a brand-new way, but not everyone will respond as you might hope. You meet resistance from an old friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can avoid conflict by going about your business in a manner that attracts little or no attention. Do your best to avoid setting off alarms.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You discover something about yourself that you may not like very much -- at first. A friend gives you perspective, and your judgment shifts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone with whom you are at odds changes the conditions of the playing field on which you are battling. This may give you the advantage!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can do much with little today. Take care that you do not squander what resources you have at your disposal. A message arrives from afar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your memories are chock-full of imagery that can mean much to you once you have brought them into sharper focus. Dreams may be misleading.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today's success borrows much from yesterday's efforts. Seek a more direct route to your intended destination. Don't sweat the small stuff.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have overlooked something yesterday that you can pay attention to today. Someone may take offense, but you'll do what is right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time for you to reach out on your own toward something that holds value only for you -- but a conflict with a friend may result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you do not overthink a current problem, or it will seem much greater than it really is. Focus on the central issue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your attempt to get to the heart of the matter may backfire today as you reveal certain elements that increase a situation's emotional impact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You want to do the right thing, certainly, but today you may not hear the signals that tell you how that can be done. Listen more closely!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself moving back and forth over the same ground today without resolving anything. You get an important message, however.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you're not going to follow the rules, then you'd better play a different game altogether -- one that allows you greater personal freedom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even as you finish up one or two important projects, you'll realize that what has been left undone will matter more to you in the coming days.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Keep to yourself what is said and done in private -- or it won't be private any longer! Some things are as simple as you make them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Though you may have the authority to tell others what they can and cannot do, you are best to leave well enough alone -- at least for now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will certainly have to face certain dangers today, but nothing you're unprepared for -- and nothing that should last very long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The good and the bad are liberally mixed throughout the day, but you should be able to focus on the good to the exclusion of almost all else.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be asking for trouble if you continue along your current course today. Two friends know what lies in store -- listen to them!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It may be time for you to reach out to someone who has been "on the outs" for quite some time. There are a few fences to mend today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You understand what is going on, but you're not quite ready to do something about it. Be sure to take time to explore all of your options.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Listen to what your body is telling you about the day's developments, for it won't lie -- and its messages cannot possibly be misinterpreted.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Promises are made in all quarters today, but you needn't pay attention to anything anyone says as long as alliances are still unclear.
