ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do you have what it takes to provide another with what is sorely needed right now? Indeed you do, whether or not you know it. Get to work!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can provide more than mere expertise to a problem today, for you care more than you think you do -- and that will make all the difference.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be met with the response you expect today when you do a certain thing without warning. Still, some will be on your side.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus on what is true, not what is popular. Ideas you put forth today can make a big difference if they are shared with the right people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be faced with something of your own creation today that challenges you in a way you never expected. Is it really too much for you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are eager to forge a lasting partnership with someone who complements you in many ways -- but hammering out an agreement will take time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- News comes to you today that you cannot help but feel deeply -- and yet it may be too late for you to do anything about it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can impress others with your knowledge of a certain topic, as what you know is rare. Don't reveal too much without compensation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In a perfect world you'd be paid handsomely for what you do today, but you must be satisfied with hearty thanks and a feeling of accomplishment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't want to leave people uninterested today, so employ a method that teases them into paying attention by building the suspense.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may be making overtures today, but you're not interested in seeing what follows. You have your own agenda to further right now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can dig deep to find meaning in almost anything, surely, but today you won't have to search far to realize what is a top priority.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are interested in what someone else is doing, but not so interested that you're willing to change course -- yet. That time may come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your interest in the affairs of others can serve you very well today, but take care you don't become intrusive. Stay at a safe distance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must deliver orders clearly and succinctly today if others are going to follow your instructions correctly. Leave no room for guesswork.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can control only so much today, and the rest is going to come upon you as it will. You must be ready to make adjustments very quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Help from a friend moves you forward, surely, but not necessarily in the right direction. You'll have to make changes before nightfall.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're going to have to get your hands dirty today, whether or not you want to. The current situation demands that you take part directly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Once or twice today you'll be called upon to do something that isn't in your wheelhouse -- but you'll perform well under such pressure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have a simple choice to make today -- less of what you want than you feel you deserve, or none at all. This is not difficult.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A new partner raises issues today that you have not wanted to acknowledge. Now is the time, however -- and you know it. Discuss openly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You need additional information before moving forward with a certain plan today. Someone you approach may be reluctant to share.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's a good day to roll with the punches; you don't have to react adversely to everything that happens to you at this time, surely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Mistakes you make today needn't affect you for very long -- or anyone else, for that matter. All will be well as long as you learn from them.
