ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can proceed confidently today without any fear that someone will stand in your way. The road should remain clear for some time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be expecting more from someone than he or she is able to provide. A compromise, if worked out ahead of time, can be effective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You certainly don't want to leave anything until the last minute today; get started early, and work earnestly toward clearly defined goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're waiting for just the right moment, but the fact is that you may have already missed it. This doesn't mean you won't be successful!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been trying to fool the same person with the same deception for far too long. Why not dispense with the shenanigans and tell the truth?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you look carefully through your notes of late, you'll find that many things are shaping up today very much the way you had hoped.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Feel free to pick up the pace today. You needn't fear that others will be unable to keep up, for an important few will remain by your side.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you learn today will serve you well, but only after you are willing to accept the fact that this lesson will and must lead to others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must take things with a grain of salt today if you're to steer clear of a serious emotional upset. Avoid knee-jerk reactions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to get back together with your compatriots in order to work on a project that has yet to get off the ground. Get in touch!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have the choice today between starting and stopping -- but you know better than anyone that true value lies in "keeping going"!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll encounter an obstacle very soon after starting something new today. All that is required, however, is a minor adjustment. Easy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is a fine line between being helpful and being intrusive, and today you'll have to walk it with great care. Trust your instincts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find that the actions of a rival prove inspiring today rather than discouraging. This relationship is ripe for change!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Pay attention to that which seems essential today, and you'll ensure that it is and remains so. A group effort surprises all involved.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone makes an offer that you would be tempted to accept but for the unusual situation you find yourself in today. Take a rain check!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to make an early start today, and a project gets off the ground sooner than expected as a result. A rival sends a warning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you hear through the grapevine today must in no way throw you off of your game. You know a falsehood when you hear it, don't you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can take an idea that is past its prime and turn it into something that others would pay handsomely for -- and may in the days to come.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your understanding of a certain troubling situation is expanded today -- thanks to the involvement of a member of your inner circle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- That which affects you alone will be worth closer study, of course, but you may not have the time today. Put it on the list for tomorrow!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be introduced to a concept which, very soon, may prove the centerpiece of something to which you are dedicating all your resources.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll progress far more quickly today if you determine just how each detail works together to make up the big picture. Integration is key!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be balanced precariously between success and failure throughout much of the day. Ultimately, a quick decision tips the scales.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Putting things in your own words is much easier than making clear your motives to those who do not speak your language. Get some help!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A balanced approach to a complicated problem is advised today. You don't want to rock the boat as you struggle to maintain a steady course.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone is waiting for you to take your turn -- and only you know what that means. By day's end, you'll be able to do all that is expected of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be able to specify just what it is you most want today -- yet. Very soon, however, you'll benefit from uncommon clarity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone from your past appears and disappears -- and reappears -- in order to keep you unbalanced and unready. It's not likely to work, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You learn a lesson that you can turn around and teach to others almost immediately -- that's how clear it is! The day ends on a high note.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are ready to try something quite unusual today. Don't let a concerned party slow you down, as the timing will prove a key component.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're more willing to go for it today than you have been in the past. There are both personal and professional gains to be enjoyed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You mustn't take compensation from a friend today. You can and must make it clear that the help you are providing comes from the heart!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Showing another just what you're made of will require you to determine for yourself just what that means -- and you may not be there quite yet.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Why not talk with a friend instead of trying to maintain long-distance correspondence through the written word? Immediacy works in your favor!
