LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have a choice to make today before you swing into action. Make it too late, and you may be forced into something that can cause you harm.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Much depends upon your ability to see the truth when all around you are trying to conceal it. Once you do, you'll have a significant impact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Those who are used to watching you do your thing are likely to be surprised by a subtle shift in your execution. This is an improvement.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You receive information today that is meant only for you. What you do with it may determine the course of things for many consecutive days.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been waiting for just the right circumstances to reveal themselves, but today is not likely to be the day. Patience is key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Doing something the right way may be more difficult today than you may suppose -- but once you take a crack at it, you'll see how to make it easier.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be able to use the extra time you have today to prepare for a challenge that's likely to materialize tomorrow. Join forces with a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may see someone as a threat today who, in fact, is looking out for your best interests. What is affecting your perspective in this way?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You won't be happy with something artificial today when the genuine article makes itself known to you. This pattern will be repeated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others look to you for your opinion about a certain unexpected situation, but you have nothing to offer just yet. Dig a little deeper.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you do with the information currently at your fingertips will be most important today, far more so than collecting any more.
