ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to find a way out of a situation that is not giving you what you currently need -- but what can you say to a dear old friend?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You receive something for nothing today, perhaps -- but you'll also be expected to pay for something that was not really worth it. It's a wash!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The ordinary and the extraordinary are combined today in a way that allows you to take advantage of a situation you'd usually avoid.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have second thoughts today, but that only demonstrates that you're being thorough in your preparations. You needn't abandon plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to change things to suit your own needs. Others will surely assist you, provided you don't try to take what is theirs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have trouble keeping all central issues in your head today. Don't risk making an irreparable mistake; solicit a friend's help!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The more you are willing to let others do today, the more fun you'll ultimately have when things really start humming. A stranger reaches out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Plans that involve you may be more complicated than you had reason to expect -- but you can rise to the occasion and do all you must, and more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It may be time to admit defeat today -- on one front, anyhow. You can move swiftly in another direction and recoup any losses.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You needn't take responsibility today for that which you had no part in -- but you can contribute something to help repair any damage.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Things seem to be more complicated than you had expected today -- but that may simply be a product of errant perception. Look again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Just because something doesn't make you smile out of enjoyment doesn't mean it can be avoided altogether today. Sometimes work is work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others see you for what you really are today -- and that may prove to be more than you think! Why not listen to those who praise you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A collaboration of sorts results in something quite unexpected, and this is something you will try to repeat in the future!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't allow yourself to become comfortable with a situation that is, right now, inconvenient in the extreme. Stay active and responsive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can put the pieces of a puzzle together today in such a way that you never again lose sight of the big picture. This is progress!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A test of wills is far more important to win today than a test of skills. Ultimately, he who sticks with it longer will prevail.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can make a dream come true today, but there are likely to be those who are underwhelmed. That's certainly of no concern to you!
