ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll find yourself in a familiar position today, and yet when the wheels start turning, things will happen quite differently. Be prepared.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to give yourself time for self-assessment today as you work on a new, important project that you are learning by doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good day for you to catch up with those who have been going their separate ways for quite a while -- but don't spread yourself too thin!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A message from a friend has you making plans. Give yourself more time to make what would normally be a "routine" decision. A deadline looms.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be surprised to learn what a rival has been up to lately. Perhaps this gives you the inspiration you've been waiting for. Go get 'em!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You likely have to go about things today very differently from the way you had planned. Now is no time to second-guess yourself; be confident.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's time for you to commit to doing a certain thing or not doing it; vacillating between "yes" and "no" is doing no one any good right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Make no excuses today, but get down to business as quickly as you can. By day's end, you'll surely have something to show for your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Almost everything you do today will put you at some risk, one way or the other. You're willing to forge ahead taking necessary precautions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You receive a promise from someone who has not, in the past, been quite so accommodating. This marks a change in the relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Wishing won't make it so today, whatever "it" may be -- and you know full well that you must take decisive action sooner rather than later.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your labors will surely be appreciated today, even though they won't really result in anything concrete. The time will come to measure success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others are gravitating toward you at this time, though you don't know why. Take a look in the mirror; examine what goes on behind those eyes!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can be more persuasive today than you were yesterday -- though someone may be more so than you today. Navigate this situation carefully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be in the mood to talk shop today, but you realize that even a casual mention of work can lead to the discovery of something new.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- All you want today is a few straight answers, but you're going to have to frame your questions with great care in the first place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can put your best foot forward today, but someone is still going to find fault with the way you do things. This cannot be remedied -- yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been putting off a certain unpleasant task for days now, but you're running out of excuses. Why not get it done once and for all?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to profit from another's mistakes today -- though not through any effort of your own. This is sheer luck, and you know it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have very few options available to you today, and still you're trying to get around doing what you must. It's time to face the music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is the time for you to make clear what you expect from those around you. Fail in this today and you'll be disappointed tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You begin the day with a greater appreciation for what is possible than you had yesterday -- and this makes all the difference. Get moving.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A simple wish turns into something of a yearning as the day progresses. You can turn this into a good thing as your motivation increases.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be introduced to a new way of doing certain things today -- and if so, you'll want to give it a real try instead of just lip service.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's time for you to get moving -- in any direction whatsoever. The only thing that can work against you now is standing still -- so don't.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be trapped between a practical rock and an ideological sticking place today. You'll find progress difficult until a friend chimes in.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Slow and steady wins the race -- or so they say. What they don't tell you is how to deal with frustration and impatience -- but you can do it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been considering a trip -- but is now really the time? You can make arrangements without committing, but try not to send any mixed signals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone close to you isn't giving you what you need right now, so you're going to have to look elsewhere -- or talk about it openly and honestly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The more you try to wrap your head around a certain problem today, the further you will be from a solution. Wait for inspiration to strike!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You needn't know what's in store before you set out on a journey of discovery; finding out what's in store is what it's all about, after all!
