ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A pressing matter has you juggling your plans today. You may want to invite a third party to help you keep all the necessary balls in the air.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you've been waiting for is likely just around the next corner -- but getting there is going to take a while. Use your time wisely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can learn much from the way someone else approaches a problem very similar to the one you find yourself in today. Pay attention to details.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can spread your wings and fly today -- or you can shy away from the opportunity and miss out completely. Risk or safety -- which will it be?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- While following another's progress, you may be struck by the ease with which he or she overcomes obstacles. You can do the same today!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're in the perfect frame of mind to tackle a problem that's been haunting you for some time. An old flame exerts a favorable influence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Ignore what goes on around you at your own risk today. Much that you encounter will affect you -- not today, perhaps, but very soon indeed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know what others are doing, but it doesn't interest you much. You're far more likely to engage in something that they find unusual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Disagreements are almost unavoidable today, but when it comes to overall intent, you and a loved one will likely be in lockstep.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The unusual becomes the usual before the day is out. What a loved one offers you is all but irresistible, and you'll want your share.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Questions of style and aesthetics arise today -- but you'll be able to deal with anything of the kind that comes up. You're the "expert"!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can give a loved one exactly what he or she wants, but by day's end, you'll wonder when it's going to be your turn. Speak up!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The short term and the long run are far more closely linked today than you could possibly imagine. Still, you can avoid current dangers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you do in support of another's cause today can actually help you more as you try to decide which direction to go in at this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll receive a helping hand today -- just in time. When the time comes to give thanks for the assistance, don't hold back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's not enough just to share your opinions today; you must back them up with evidence. Not everyone will buy what you're selling.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to take in all that comes your way today, but you'll get the gist and will have enough to begin formulating a game plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In criticizing someone's efforts, you may be guilty of the very thing you are speaking out against. Be fair to others -- and yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll have a hard time trying to sort out all that you are presented with today, but it's essential that you prioritize in some fashion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be breaking the rules without even knowing it today. If asked to explain yourself, you must make no attempt at deceit!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be getting what you want from your teammates at this time. Today is a good day to restate your expectations clearly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll get more than you ask for today, that's almost certain. What you do with it makes all the difference -- and you mustn't overreact.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Doing too much may prove just as damaging to your cause today as not doing enough. You will want to be sure that you have all current information.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll hit upon a new approach to an old problem today, and someone you know is likely to confuse you with unexpected behavior.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been so busy thinking about what might happen that you have failed to take into account what already has! Go back and review.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can lead by example today. Give others what they want by demonstrating both your moral and intellectual prowess. You can win the day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The battle may be won today, but not the war -- not yet. You will still have to engage in a major campaign; start making plans right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may call you a "show-off," but you should still do all you can to see that a certain situation is resolved in your favor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're not able to stop something that has been taking it out of you for quite some time. Perhaps fighting isn't the answer; try accepting it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A reversal of sorts has you counting your blessings by day's end. How easy it might have been for things to have turned out differently.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Try as you might, you're not yet able to break that particular habit that's been keeping you up nights. Trust a friend who steps in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You've probably waited just as long as you can before doing your part to help someone else in a major effort. It's not too late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What begins as a game becomes quite serious before the day is out. You may have to spend a lot of time recalibrating your motivation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can pick up a lot of new information -- and a lot of new techniques -- simply by watching an "expert" at work. It'll be your turn soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is the time for you to put your foot down; what you want can be yours, as long as you are firm in your request and clear in your demands.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone is expecting you to fall short today -- and it may be someone in your "inner circle." You can prevail and prove your expertise.
