ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something familiar has you thinking of a way to get out of a situation that seems to be recurring. Thinking outside the box gets the job done.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Looking at certain things in a more sympathetic manner does you a world of good today, and allows you to keep stress levels low.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on the little things that may each have a major impact today. You can see far better than others where a certain situation is leading.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're eager to have a "normal" day -- but what does that mean, exactly? There's no point in trying to re-create what happened long ago.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ideas quickly rise to the top today and take priority over any others. This doesn't necessarily mean they'll be universally adopted, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Experimentation allows you to work with changing variables today without having to lay too much on the line -- yet. You solve an important puzzle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to synchronize certain shared activities with great care today so you and a partner are perfectly in step.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will want to coordinate with another today to make the most out of a situation that isn't likely to last very long.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be feeling the onset of a mood that is all too familiar to you, and that makes you wish you were not in someone's line of fire.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Physical symptoms may not match a diagnosis you've recently received. This is the time to get a second opinion -- or even a third.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take a look at how things are presented to you today, and study them for any patterns that you may be able to discern. You make a discovery.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll want to cross your fingers and hope that something recently done in error is not noticed by those in charge. Timing is a key issue.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your reaction to what someone does today mustn't reveal too much about how you truly feel. Be careful when you share with others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This is a good day to start something over that hasn't paid off the way you had hoped. Make a few clever adjustments, and you'll soon turn a profit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Pay attention to what you dreamed last night, and you'll be much more prepared for what you're likely to face this afternoon and evening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can expect your own allies to adapt to a change in the rules very quickly, indeed, but it's your competitors you must keep an eye on!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A personal sacrifice may be unavoidable today -- but you can lessen its impact by taking advantage of someone's timing. Watch and wait.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be able to do everything as planned today, but even just a few small adjustments can have a big effect and improve your odds.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to smooth something over today before it gets out of control. The first step is to acknowledge the role you've been playing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are no stranger to restrictions and limitations, but today you're likely to enjoy a little more freedom than you first expected.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Gauge your interactions with others carefully today, and try to see things as objectively as possible. Headway is made.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others may question either your motives or your methods, but you know you're doing things that must be done, regardless.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not adjust to a new way of doing things all that quickly today, but if you give yourself time, you'll soon be considered an expert.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are in a position that allows you to see both sides of a rather volatile argument. This means you can and must exert a positive influence.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your belief system may be shaken somewhat by a revelation that touches you to your core. After a minor adjustment, all will be well once more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can't expect everyone to like what you do -- or to like you, for that matter. Those who do, however, give you all the support you need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can achieve a great deal today without even showing up in person. From a distance, you're able to see the big picture and behave accordingly.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept. 22) -- Your popularity is on the rise, though you may not know exactly why. Give someone some special attention and you'll profit handsomely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your respect for the rules -- and for someone special -- has held you in check lately, but today you may be tempted to throw caution to the wind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you want isn't likely to be available to you just yet, so you'll have to put your yearnings on a back burner for the time being.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your mood may not please those around you -- or yourself, for that matter -- but it's a natural result of something you couldn't control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something that should be quite easy proves unexpectedly difficult today -- but only because you're trying to take an unwise shortcut, perhaps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You needn't sugarcoat the news you have to impart today. Tell it like it is, and be ready to help those who are most affected by it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can move through your day with a good deal of confidence, thanks to news you receive before you get started. You'll dictate the pace.
