ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Free exploration of all the possibilities before you isn't likely to be possible today until someone in charge gives you express permission.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The results you get today may not satisfy you entirely -- but though you sense that something is not right, you won't know what for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're willing to try some experimental methods in order to accomplish what you have promised -- but things may go somewhat awry late in the day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An error that you think can be overlooked by others may actually set you back further than anticipated. You must address this problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You fear that any complaints you make will fall upon those who don't want to hear them -- but that is likely to happen only if you take them to the wrong parties.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Despite your rather cavalier attitude toward certain activities, there is a right way and a wrong way, and they're not interchangeable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are eager to do what can be done today -- but you want to know that it is, indeed, possible. You want to avoid anything quixotic!

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.
