ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Avoid knee-jerk reactions today, and let yourself ponder the problems before you. You mustn't let someone's style influence your own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A personal sacrifice is designed to pay off for you at a later date, but already you see that the likelihood of that happening is slim.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you accomplish today proves that not all the rules are in place for the right reasons. You can make some significant changes today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may feel as though you are being watched by someone who is trying to get the better of you -- but perhaps he or she simply admires you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You receive input from someone that seems to you to be "too little, too late" -- but perhaps you can still use it to your advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be taking on more responsibility than usual very soon, so today you may want to isolate yourself in order to replenish your resources.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll want to stick to routine today, especially when you are surprised by an unexpected visitor. He or she will just have to wait!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Just because someone's personality doesn't quite please you doesn't mean that he or she must be opposed at every turn. Try to get along!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Recent progress hasn't been enough, perhaps, to put you "over the top," but you can fill in the gaps today and score a personal victory.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Anything you can do to be more warm and personal while dealing with a critical situation will work well for you today. Be approachable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you share with certain others will have much more value than you might expect because of what you've recently been through together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is no time to try to dominate conversation; you are better off listening more than usual in order to gather some essential information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must be willing to take the high road today and rise above those who insist on solving a certain problem in an old, outdated fashion.
