ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An obstacle you face today shows you something about yourself that you don't really want to accept -- yet. Soon you'll have no choice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be tempted to play an unusual role -- or one, at least, that is unusual to you. A hidden talent comes to the fore almost immediately.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A surprise is in store for anyone who expects the same old thing from you. You're ready to move in a new direction and take others with you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are not necessarily all you think you are, but you are certainly more than someone might suggest. You'll find a productive balance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time for cowardice, as those who show up and fight for their right to be heard will be making the decisions. You want to be one of them!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A certain unmade decision is hanging over you at this time. Consider all options, but know that you won't be allowed to take the easy route.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must insist that others walk the line today. No one is going to provide you with what you need or want unless you offer a clear demand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The reaction you get from others may surprise you, as you likely did not mean to surprise them the way you have. Now you must collaborate.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- That which is shocking to someone else seems only slightly outside the realm of the ordinary and routine to you. Why is this so?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your overall outlook may be changing once again. Someone you know is pushing your buttons. Does that have something to do with it?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are trying to do something that no one else has done, but the going may be slow and quite trying during this sometimes difficult day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can give yourself more of what you want and more of what works well for you once you dispense with business you consider in the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You suspect that someone close to you is contributing to a wave of challenges coming your way at this time. Fight back!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your faith in those around you is likely to wax and wane throughout the day; pay attention to the most reliable performance indicators.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your accomplishments today will be remembered by those who are likely to mount a challenge to your dominance very soon. Be ready!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must not lose track of how much or how many today; facts and figures allow you to make good use of past trends and future projections.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The money you plan to spend today is not likely to do all you had hoped; you may want to consider enacting a more economical plan.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Helping a friend proves easier than expected. You'll find that you can be quite flexible as you maneuver within accepted guidelines.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You don't necessarily have a preference between two options -- but you know what you don't want to do or are unwilling to do, surely.
