ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Good manners count for a great deal today; don't be tempted to discard yours simply because someone doesn't say "please" and "thank you."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel as though circumstances are conspiring against you but, in fact, they are lined up in your favor in a way you don't yet recognize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your way of seeing things will be shared by those closest to you -- but someone at a distance still isn't willing to make necessary adjustments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be tempted to do that which you have avoided for quite some time. Today you realize that much has changed and the odds have improved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you cannot see the road before you clearly, you are better off taking another path. Obstacles you encounter today may prove quite hazardous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you see is what you get -- at least for the first part of the day, until a rival sees what is going on and begins to work against you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can offer someone precisely what he or she wants, but you must recognize that there will be a price to pay. Can you afford this gesture?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 -- Certain issues can be overlooked today, but one in particular will demand your attention until you have solved the problem at its core.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're after someone's approval today, and you may have it -- but not by asking for it directly. You must devise an indirect solicitation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Most people know what you're up to -- but they are not the ones to whom you are playing today. Your intended audience is in the dark.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself at the center of a conflict between the truth and a falsehood that threatens to damage your reputation irreparably.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don't have to use big words today or go on and on in order to get your point across. One simple, timely utterance will do the trick.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your own insecurities must not be allowed to stand in your way today. Shrug them off and move forward with confidence; you have much to gain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You and a friend are likely to differ on a major issue today, but that doesn't mean you can't work around this sticking point -- or talk it out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your ability to see what is invisible to most others will surely serve you well today -- but some of what lies before you will give you pause.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be counting the minutes today until you are off the hook for something you did recently that you are very eager to forget.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are able to make things more accessible to others today than they would ordinarily be -- and even the most complex issues are clear right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22) -- You are eager to share what you learn with someone who can help you use the information to speed things up as you move forward -- together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Progress is made step by step today, not in one fell swoop. This works for you because your attention span is oddly short at this time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good day for taking in all you possibly can of what is available to you. If you find you have too much, share with those around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll want to see things fully unfurled before you today -- and this is wise. Piecemeal delivery of visual cues can't help much.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You don't necessarily have to follow the same rules as most others today -- but that doesn't mean you can disregard them altogether.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone is closely following you today -- but why? You'll want to determine the possible reason before dealing with the encroachment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A rendezvous of sorts is in the works for today -- but you may be suspicious of someone's motives. Get all available information firsthand.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can prove you know more about a key topic than anyone else in your immediate circle -- and such knowledge can be quite useful today!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take care you don't say something you'll regret today, for at one point in particular this afternoon you run the risk of offending.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone introduces you to something that you find quite interesting -- but is it really time to let yourself be distracted like that?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may feel threatened by something that others are able to overlook. How do they do it? And how can you learn to do it, too? Look and listen!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find someone close to you attractive in a whole new way today -- but you mustn't misinterpret this and overcomplicate the relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can have what you want, but not when you want. You'll have to wait your turn -- or, at the very least, wait until you're in the right mood.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're not likely to have all of your requests granted today -- which you knew, no doubt, but one refusal bothers you more than any other.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Morning hours offer you more opportunities for progress and accomplishment than any other time of the day. Don't miss out; get started early.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Things don't have to fall out exactly as you have anticipated today for you to do a good job and impress those who are watching.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're ready to take on more responsibility, and a friend comes through by inviting you to join him on a project perfectly suited to you both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have your eyes on someone who may be a perfect match for you in some way -- but you're still waiting for a sign. It'll come soon!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't let someone's behavior throw you into a fit of temper today. You have your own issues to address; stay focused on those!
