GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You want to let someone else experiment more freely today, but you must also be nearby to take over when things go wrong. Keep a wary eye!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your own expectations may simply be too much today, and you'll know it as soon as you get an honest reaction from others. Adjust your thinking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The choices you have to make today are not easy, but you should be able to manage, provided you have prepared yourself for what lies ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know better than most what is required today, and you're willing to commit -- provided someone can watch your back. Don't be foolhardy!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You don't have to be in the lead to enjoy the race today; indeed, you'll get a better sense of your overall odds from the middle of the pack.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Remember, it's not over until it's over -- and it's certainly not over yet! You have time to implement a daring plan that can win the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You needn't approach those in charge with uncertainty today; what you want you surely deserve, and you can get it by asking for it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Friends and loved ones may express concern about what you are planning to do before the day is out -- but your reasons are indeed sound.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- There's no reason for you to take responsibility today for something that you did not do. State your case clearly, and take it right to the top!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be impressed with your own maneuvering today as you try to navigate a tricky situation. Remember, it was entirely of your own making!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself digging around in some unusual places today to find what you're looking for -- but it's nearer than you think!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Eager to get back to routine, you're willing to try almost anything today to feel "normal" -- but the stars have something else in mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- That which you most fear isn't likely to materialize or come to pass today -- but there are still certain obstacles you'll have to overcome.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- That which is easier than expected may give you cause for worry, as you weren't expecting any "breaks" today. What's really going on?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The more freely you express yourself today, the more you'll realize -- and understand -- what's really going on inside. Avoid deception today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- That which is real demands attention today, and pulls you away from those things that merely distract you from doing what you must.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You don't always have to do something the same way, day after day. Today, in fact, is a good day to experiment with breaking the mold.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Though it's certainly possible for you to profit from another's mistakes today, it isn't necessarily the wisest move. You should reconsider.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're ready to take on the world today -- or so you think. You may be feeling strong and capable, but you're certainly not invincible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You needn't follow in anyone's footsteps today. You can, instead, forge a path all your own, though you don't yet know where it leads.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's a good day to sit yourself down and give yourself a good talking-to regarding that habit you simply cannot break. Be honest!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Though you are eager to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, external influences may not favor any such attempt today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to give someone the shock treatment today in order to ensure he or she is on the same page by day's end. Be direct!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A friend's recommendation may lead you down the wrong road today -- but this was certainly not intentional. You can get rerouted quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- How you perceive certain statements and actions will say a great deal about your readiness to tackle difficult issues. Is today the day?
