ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must remember that safety is an issue, regardless of your current level of confidence. You must not bust too many boundaries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your perspective about certain professional issues may be changing at this time. You can and should bounce ideas off someone you trust.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're eager to hear news from someone far from home. Your efforts to reach out have been only moderately successful -- but keep trying.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's not enough to be "in the ballpark" today; your calculations must be accurate in all things. Those in control may not be at all forgiving.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to run through something two or three times today before you are satisfied not only with your efforts but with the potential reward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know where you must begin, but you're not sure how to position yourself there. Perhaps you should try what someone else does today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will require some extra room to navigate a tricky situation as it evolves. Someone steps out of the shadows to offer you directions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not be able to do things in the order in which you are most comfortable today, but getting them done in any order is the point.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A new opportunity presents itself today, but upon further examination you'll realize that it's not so new after all. Are you ready?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may receive news of an advancement of sorts of which there has been no "official" word. You will want to investigate on your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll reap benefits today from someone else's error -- but take care you don't make things worse for anyone by being a "poor winner."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be able to get only as far as circumstances allow today, and you must be satisfied with the progress you make. Don't push it.

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.

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!

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.
