ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- As you prepare to take on something new, you'll be reminded of why you agreed to take it on in the first place. Your commitment is reinforced.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others are waiting for you to put in your two cents -- but you'll have much more than that to offer, and what you say will likely do the trick.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Recent attempts to resolve a conflict between two of your friends have been disappointing, but today you can make it happen.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll benefit from one or two important insights today -- though you must remember that not all such realizations can be immediately applied.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you need is just beyond your reach today. Stay put and don't rock the boat, as you and it will be closer still tomorrow, no doubt.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to pick up the pace. You mustn't let someone stand in your way today -- nor must you be overly aggressive as you assert yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be expected to absorb new information very quickly throughout the day -- and you'll be able to put it to use almost immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're not lacking confidence today, but something is holding you back. Dig deep, and you'll discover the source of this "paralysis."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may feel as though you are being much more creative and expressive than you've been in the recent past. Friends and supporters approve.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Recent activities have been taking it out of you, and you've been finding it hard to recover. Perhaps you can take better care of yourself?

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.

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.

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!
