ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A current endeavor proves more complicated than usual today, in part because you are not giving it the attention it deserves. Be sure to focus!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're interested in what others have to say, but you're not likely to change your mind merely because their opinions are intriguing to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A minor shock is best dealt with in tandem with someone who is in a similar situation. You don't have to deal with things alone today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The same old routine isn't likely to give you what you really want today -- but can you afford to set things aside and explore other options?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be able to impress others today, but a friend or loved one knows that you're capable of doing much more. Why not go for broke?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have more than enough help today, provided you ask for what you need ahead of time. You can spread important information via word of mouth.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that you don't respond to what goes on around you in a disproportionate manner. Going from zero to 60 does you no good at all!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to drift into unknown territory today if you are not careful to keep yourself strictly in line with each passing moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- How you think about a certain situation today is likely to be unusually sophisticated. Others are impressed -- and say so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may experience increased tension on the home front today because of something you said that was taken the wrong way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- How you express yourself is likely to matter more to you than the words you use. Body language counts for much right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to encounter someone today who is very much your intellectual equal -- and some exciting conversation will surely result.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will have to size things up very quickly today. It will become clear to others just whom they are dealing with as you step forward confidently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Big things often start very small, and that should certainly hold true today. You must be ready for the pace to quicken suddenly -- and very soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The unconventional calls to you today. You may find yourself yearning for a time when things were "simpler" -- but is that perception accurate?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your passions are likely to run near the surface today. Such currents must be navigated with care, whether you are alone or with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Sensitivity is not a weakness today -- unless you fail to protect yourself and you let your emotions become a vulnerability.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It'll be essential to direct others with care today. Your natural wisdom will be on display as you arrange things with your usual flair.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Novelty intrigues you today, and may actually compel you to explore something of which, in the past, you were actually afraid. Be bold.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Much seems to be changing all around you today, but there are certain constants you can rely on as you move forward. Use reasonable caution.
