ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll encounter some very strange circumstances today that require you to address issues you may have hoped would have remained hidden.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to reconsider a recent decision when someone points out that you have overlooked one or two key facts not immediately apparent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have the chance to give a rival a little of his or her own medicine today, but is that really the way you want to play it? Kindness counts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll very much enjoy straying from the beaten path today, but when it's time to get yourself back home, you mustn't let anything stop you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Reflections on a time past have you thinking about how things might be in the near future, but you're going to have to assemble a crack team.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Developments are likely to be quite swift today, but you should be able to keep up. Play your cards right, and you may even have time to spare.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You don't want to be caught in the same trap that delayed you recently and kept you from doing what you wanted to do. Time for a new plan!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll likely find a great deal of humor in a situation that no one else thinks is all that funny. Your unique perspective saves the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Maintain a constant pace today so you won't miss out on any opportunities that are presented. Keep your eye on the ball at all times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be tempted to break the rules for some reason today, but the thought of hidden dangers prevents you from making such an error.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The demands you make of someone in your inner circle may be too much, and you know it -- though he or she may not tell you in so many words.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Focus on what you need today, and let others fend for themselves for now. There's no reason for you to be saving the world every day!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You know where you are and where you want to go, but it may be difficult today to spot just exactly where the path is that will take you there.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unfamiliar territory need not be frightening to you today; you have what it takes to deal with any challenge that presents itself -- almost.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be stubbornly refusing to do something you will ultimately enjoy once you get the hang of it. Why take this stance?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You desire something that is currently out of reach, but that's nothing new when you consider the big picture. Be patient and wait your turn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't let a trivial issue come between you and a friend. Afternoon hours may be chock-full of new opportunities and personal delights.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself watching over someone before the day is out. Once you're at your post, nothing is likely to pull you away.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have a question to ask a friend or loved one, but your fear of resurrecting an old argument may keep you from asking it until it's too late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The past reveals itself to you in a new way today, and you come to understand something that was, until now, an impenetrable mystery.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A conflict can be resolved quite easily today, but you must be the first to come up with a palatable solution. Take a generous stance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're full of wise things to say today, but not everyone wants to listen to you -- yet. Very soon, you'll attract quite an audience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to make a private mistake in a public way, and there's nothing you can do to take it back. You must make the best of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Something you've let go of recently proves itself to be quite important to you still. Messages you receive tell you that you may get it back.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You and a loved one must agree to disagree today or you may reach an impasse that threatens to undo the progress you've recently made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be able to persuade everyone that you are in the right, but one or two supporters can do some of that work for you today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may discover that you're in rather dangerous territory. Much of what you know comes in handy; what you don't dictates the course of the day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The help you get today will allow you to climb out of a rut of your own making -- but that may only make you mad at yourself for a while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The rules you break today are nobody's favorites, but you're likely going to have to answer to some authority figure before the day is out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An old friend reaches out to you, and you mustn't let any sort of guilt or discomfort prevent you from making contact. It's time to reconnect!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are hoping for something that is likely out of reach -- but for how long will that be the case? You can close the gap today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are growing tired of experts who keep coming up empty when faced with the problem you present. Perhaps a solution is close at hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- No matter whom you go to today for expert advice, what you hear is not likely to please you. You're going to have to explore on your own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be in a position of authority today -- but that authority extends only so far. Even someone in charge must answer to someone else.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have much to gain today, but you're going to have to give up something of value before you begin making headway. Choose wisely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are juggling more than one project, and the situation you face today may require you to choose one over all others, at least temporarily.
