ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others may not be able to make sense of certain developments today, but what you make of them helps you formulate a solid new plan of action.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you want and what you need converge today in a most productive way -- and you'll be surprised when you receive approval for a new scheme.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Temptation may prove too much for you today, which only means that you're going to have to double down on a past commitment come day's end.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Recurrent themes and phrases have you thinking of something today that hasn't been in your mind for quite some time. What's afoot?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have less to do today than you may think -- but that's only counting hands-on activities. Your management duties are many, of course.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22) -- You must face more than your share of "slings and arrows" today -- but once you survive the first barrage, you can consider yourself home free.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The back and forth between you and a rival heats up some today, but you mustn't let things take on a more serious tone than they already have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's easier than you think to get in touch with someone from afar in order to collect the information you need today. Choose your method!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You receive a shock today that has you questioning much that you thought was certain. This can be a good thing every now and then, surely.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's not like you to let a certain someone have something for nothing, but today that's the best plan. Your generosity will be requited.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more important your work today, the more relaxed you must be as you get it done. A friend or loved one affects you indirectly.
