ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A little home improvement can go a long way toward satisfying your need for having things "just so." Do what you want to do -- and enjoy it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be spooked today by something going on in your house -- or your work environment -- that you cannot explain. Don't overreact, however!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The way you do a certain thing is not in sync with the expectations of those who are nominally "in charge." You may be required to adjust.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can show someone how things are supposed to be done today -- but in the process you may discover that you don't know all you think you do!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A memory of a time when everything was in sync and running smoothly will inspire you to achieve something quite unexpected today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Yes, that secret desire is likely to surface once again today. As always, you must keep it under wraps -- unless you've already been found out!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- In order to give yourself the best chance of success you must be willing to make an early start and work long after others have knocked off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The first thing you do in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day -- like it or not. You can influence things in a positive fashion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be puzzled about someone's whereabouts -- until you remember that he or she shared the day's plans with you. Send your blessing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have trouble making someone follow the rules today, but you were better off taking a subtle approach. Don't raise your voice!

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?

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.

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"!

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.
