TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The issue today is not what you want, but what you need -- and, of course, who can provide it. You must be clear when expressing yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't feel compelled to share information with anyone else -- just yet. First, you'll want to be sure that what you have is truly helpful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A simple and trivial oversight becomes much more important the longer you pretend it never happened. Face it directly today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You receive a favor from someone whose overall support you did not know you had. Very soon you'll have the chance to reciprocate, surely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The answer to a very simple question makes all the difference today, and it's a wonder you haven't realized it until now. Take a chance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What comes your way today is likely to challenge you in a new fashion. You were better off keeping emotions out of it; be sure to engage your brain!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may regret a certain exchange with a friend or loved one, but you needn't worry that it will be remembered for long. Be sure to move on!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have no choice but to use a certain valuable tool for something that was not intended. Damage is light, and results are good.
