ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're ready for anything the day has in store -- or so you think. A rival has another idea and may be working hard to derail you if possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're the boss, and that's that -- and you'll want all those on your team to know it. Take care, however: You don't want to come off as a bully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have prepared for a coming storm, but today it may seem as though the clouds are actually breaking. Take advantage of the lucky chance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have the "magic touch" today -- or so a young person might claim, for everything he or she wants you're able to deliver.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are not willing to do any more than you had contracted to do today, no matter the potential rewards. Maybe you should reconsider.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone who has discounted you and your efforts can no longer do so, as you have been raising the bar with your performance at the workplace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- That which is not for you is not for you -- and you mustn't try to persuade yourself otherwise. A few very serious dangers lie in wait today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Watch and listen to what goes on around you today and you'll be able to answer a few key questions when they arise. Mind your manners.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may get yourself into hot water by joking around at a time when joking is not at all appropriate. Your apology must be sincere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be asking yourself more than once today whether you feel up to the task at hand, but no one else is asking -- they know!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don't want to be too exact when dealing with a certain tricky situation today -- but on the other hand, someone else isn't exact enough!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Doing things the way they've always been done may be the easy path today -- but that's not your way, especially now. Do what you must.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to settle a dispute that rises from a simple misunderstanding today -- but that doesn't mean it should be on your docket tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're trying to be discreet, even secretive, but someone out there knows just what you are doing and why. You must come out from hiding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll want to review recent activities today in order to assess your standing among your competitors. You've reason to be confident!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A simple decision proves harder to make today than expected because certain variables have yet to be recognized, much less understood.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be able to take control of a situation that is getting out of hand -- but take care you don't try to assume too much power too soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Doing what's required today is likely to take a little more effort than usual, and not because you're unable or unwilling. Get to work quickly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Following your instincts today will likely mean getting yourself into a situation that others have warned you against. You can prevail.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are advised to get the bulk of your work done early today, when your mind is fresh and distractions are few. Later, the simple proves tricky.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may feel as though you are getting a little too much criticism today, but the fact is that your recent behavior has attracted such close scrutiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your world view isn't likely to be affected by anyone's behavior today -- at least not dramatically or permanently. You can be more lenient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may feel stuck between two influences you wish to escape as quickly as possible. Take a page out of someone's playbook.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are determined to get things done the way they should be done today, despite another's attempt to thwart you. You won't be dissuaded!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've heard what everyone else has heard, and yet your reaction is likely much different. You're marching to the beat of your own drum.
