ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are usually a proponent of the adage "honesty is the best policy" -- but today you see a certain danger in telling it like it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This is a good time to conceal certain thoughts and feelings from those around you, lest they turn people against you in some way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A question answered is more valuable today than any other commodity -- so you are better off asking it as soon as it comes into your mind! Don't wait!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Respond to those who come to you without attempting to "tailor" your response to the prevailing circumstances. Honesty is honesty -- period.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Pay attention to all that happens accidentally, and let things fall where they may -- at first. Later in the day you can begin to push back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pay attention to the effect you have on others when you say what has to be said. Not today, perhaps, but tomorrow you can choose a new tack.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Preparations must be complete today before you put into motion the plans you've been making. A premature start leads to a premature end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel as though you are not being used to the best possible advantage at this time -- and so it is. Are you willing to wait your turn?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll be taken seriously today, surely -- but will you be believed? The one does not guarantee the other -- as you will soon learn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A cool and easy manner is advised today; you mustn't let yourself respond to someone's hot temper with one that is hotter still.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you are thinking may be at odds with how others view a given circumstance. Today you must do all you can to reconcile yourself and them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A clear view of what lies ahead can be yours today, provided you dispense with any sort of prejudicial thought. Take things as they come!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must be willing to see things the way they are today. Now is no time to attempt any kind of deception, especially if friends are involved.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are not expecting things to line up just right today -- but they will seem to during the hours of the day. Take advantage of this!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The more you try to force things into place, the more they will resist you -- and this is true for the people you encounter today. Ease up a bit!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be keenly interested in what someone is doing today, especially since he or she will have taken a leaf out of your book.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You must keep your own standards high today, even as those around you begin to compromise. Someone comes to you with a timely request.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The more pragmatic you are today, the better for everyone -- especially when those around you seem to be removed from reality in some way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Though you're never likely to choose to go first, today you can reap many benefits from casting trepidation aside and jumping in. Do so!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Claiming that you don't know what's going on will not relieve you of the responsibilities you've already accepted. Get to work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- While working on a problem that is primarily a mental exercise, you don't want to ignore the needs of your physical self. Get moving!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will want to be sure that you are addressing someone's concerns as openly and honestly as if they were your own. It matters to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must find a way to inspire yourself on this seemingly uninspiring day. Afternoon hours offer an unusual opportunity, perhaps.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- How you express yourself is just as important today -- if not more so -- than what it is you choose to express. Combine style and substance!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've made a decision recently that today begins to restrict your movements in some way. It may be time to abandon the original decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The stars are likely to bring you and a friend together in a new way and demand of you a kind of communication that will be difficult at first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The time for changing your mind again and again as you search for the most viable option is coming to an end. You must commit -- and soon!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can count on receiving valuable guidance from someone who has been in your shoes. You needn't fear any sort of negative judgment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your unusual perspective has given you the jump on those who have been rather slow to get themselves moving. Today your advantage increases.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you say may promote conflict today if you aren't careful -- and that will ultimately come back to haunt you. Be circumspect!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A recent discovery makes sense all of a sudden today when the final piece of a puzzle settles into place and the picture becomes clear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be heading in the right direction today, but the journey affords you spectacular views that aid in your overall comprehension.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be accused of being too literal today when in fact what you are facing requires a certain amount of creative interpretation.
