ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone has what you so desperately seem to want -- but the truth is that it's not really right for you, and deep down you know it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can afford to be just a little more patient at understanding someone who is going through a hard time. Logistics present a challenge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- After experimenting with one or two solutions to a certain problem, you may realize today that only a difficult third will do the trick.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your lack of cooperation shows a certain disrespect that you really don't intend. You may have to toe the line today for a while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone under your care may not cooperate fully today -- but you can make a game out of negotiations. Indeed, fun can cure a great many ills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be the one left holding the bag today when someone doesn't communicate directly with you. This is not something to be repeated!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The way you present a certain idea is just as important today as the idea itself. You want others to react in a certain way -- and they will.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- That which escapes your notice early in the day is likely to make things more difficult for you later on. Pay attention to all details.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The way you see a certain key issue is going to differ dramatically from the way a friend sees it. It's a good day for a compromise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to encourage a certain someone to dig a little deeper for the answers he or she needs. It's not for you to make it easy or quick.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A second or third reminder comes your way today, but you're not yet ready to act upon them. Your preparations are not quite complete.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've been working according to your own schedule for quite some time, but today you're going to have to adopt someone else's.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have fallen prey to a rather devious deception recently. You can do much to repair your reputation -- though few hold it against you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others are starting to pay attention to something you are doing that is quite unusual. You know that there may be quite a big payoff at the end!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't let anyone tell you what you are doing isn't worth it. You know what is at stake, and you know just how to avoid falling short.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may receive a familiar message today, but your reaction is likely to be anything but routine. A great deal is changing right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are getting used to the idea that things in the near future aren't likely to fall out the way you had expected -- and that it's a good thing!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You aren't likely to be showered with praise today, no matter how well you perform. It will be entirely up to you to keep your spirits up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are facing a challenge that you may not want to address directly -- but do you have a choice? Someone hasn't been playing by the rules.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good day to put someone's needs before your own -- but you must do so when the timing is just right. Guesswork won't cut it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can reveal unexpected strength today as you face a situation that was not of your making. A creative solution is at hand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're going to want to shop around for the best bargains today. You mustn't settle on the first thing you find -- online or in a store.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone tried to make a deal with you that is no deal at all. You know better than anyone how to stretch your resources at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to receive a last call of sorts today. Fortunately, you are ready to do all that you are expected to do -- and then some.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to stop what you are doing today -- on more than one occasion -- to assess a situation that someone has gotten himself into.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must do all you can to avoid any sort of panic today. A calm, steady, rational, measured approach is what is required right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The earlier you can start your day, the better -- especially since someone has thrown a road block in your way without your knowing it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must be willing to give another a bit more free rein today. He or she is learning from you -- but you have to take a more hands-off approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can engage in a little shape-shifting today in order to escape being noticed doing something you don't want to reveal just yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your efforts will not go unappreciated today -- but you may not get the recognition you had hoped for until you make it clear it is deserved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Watch the clock today. You have only so much time available to you before the focus will be on someone whose needs rival your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- There's a certain order to things that will make you feel more confident and capable. If you don't follow it, things will feel far too random.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You have much on the line today. Say what you have to say, and move on. Do not dwell on any one issue once it has been addressed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may want to move everything up a bit today and tend to each thing earlier than you had originally scheduled. A surprise in in store.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will not be lacking motivation today, but you may not know what exact steps to take -- or what order to take them in. Observe others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If you chip away at a certain task, bit by bit, from morning to night, you should be able to get it completed on time -- and under budget.
