ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are opposed to much that someone else stands for, but that doesn't mean you cannot forge a bond based on common traits or beliefs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are working closely with someone on a project that requires absolute secrecy for now, but a third party is trying to unveil the truth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Those working for you are your true friends, but you mustn't consider those working against you your enemies. It's all part of the game!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can put your best foot forward, surely. Seeking the right outlet for your creative talents may prove time-consuming today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can grasp someone's meaning very early in the conversation today. Once that happens, you'll both surely be on the same page for good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You cannot understand another's behavior today -- but then, you don't really have to, do you? It's not impeding your progress in any way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to change course midway through a journey of discovery today. What you learn as a result confirms some unusual suspicions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can strike a bargain with someone who is usually unapproachable. What happens late in the day has its roots in this unexpected deal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It may be someone else's turn today, but you must use any time available to you to prepare for when your turn comes. That will be soon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are required to jump through a few bureaucratic hoops today before you are free to do what you think is best. Clear thinking is a plus.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone close to you is likely to be even closer by day's end. Take care, however, that you don't relinquish control altogether.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can score a major victory today, but you must first be willing to do something others are unwilling to do. Getting started is the trick.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Quality control begins and ends with you today. You can't turn a blind eye to what someone is doing that affects your team adversely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You turn your back on an old partner at your own peril today. If you want to make the most of a certain situation, you must preserve that bond.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can make use of any spare time this morning by tending to those few things from yesterday that were left undone. A plan takes shape.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Showing someone you care is not as difficult as you may think today. Give yourself credit for your strengths, and try not to rock the boat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good day to start something new and end something for which you long ago lost enthusiasm. Some things must stay the same, of course.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your assessment of certain developments today will make all the difference to those who don't know what to make of them. Tell the truth!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's time for you to do the very thing you have resisted for so long. In letting go of your fears and hesitation, you will make a breakthrough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are not yet near your destination, but you may not be able to continue the journey today as planned, as other business calls to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be called home by someone who needs something that only you can provide. This is not a summons you want to ignore, by any means.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to think carefully about the rules today and how they apply to you directly and indirectly. Can you follow them faithfully?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are eager to move mountains today, but you may only be able to do what anyone alone can do. The impossible may be done tomorrow perhaps!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel as though others are watching you closely, waiting for you to make a mistake, but you aren't about to satisfy their hopes!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll fit the final pieces of a puzzle into place today -- just in time to turn your attention to another that is far more complex.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can make things better or worse today, just by doing what comes easily. The real difference will be in doing what is hard.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can make a deal with one who is usually immune to your offers and suggestions. What is it this time that makes things work in your favor?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your journey today will take you down one or two familiar roads -- and one, at least, that is entirely new to you. Keep your eyes open!
