TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A change to your usual work environment yields some surprising results today. Indeed, everything you do is likely to result in something unusual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel a greater distance from those who inspire you than you have at any time in the recent past -- but that distance can be narrowed today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Will you be happy with only a portion of that which you've been going after lately? It may be that you can have some or none -- which will it be?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You receive something of a shock today, but that pushes you in a new direction -- and that can actually inspire you to make a new personal goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may continue to see things from a far more problematic perspective today than you should. The counsel of a good friend seems to help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You wanted some advice, but you've been getting too much of it and, as a result, your thinking has become muddy. Get back to the basics today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself in a tricky spot before the day is out, and all because you simply mistook one thing for another. Don't be careless.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may learn from an unverified source that you've been working in the wrong way toward the wrong goal. Find out if this is really true!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't let someone's offhanded comment knock you off your plate today. It means nothing in the scheme of things; ignore it!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may run into someone today who is not willing to give you the inch you're asking for -- much less the mile you are ready to take.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are not willing to take any risks today, especially with someone's time or money. That leaves you with only one choice, doesn't it?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to go through your "archenemy" today to get where you intend to go. After some frustration, you should find a way to do it!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've said before -- and you'll say again -- that a certain shared experience is not for you. Today, however, it might fit you perfectly!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- While working your way toward your own "personal best," you may attract spectators -- and, quite possibly, a few people who want to tag along.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your affection for someone who is currently in a bind may compel you to step out of your comfort zone in order to help. Keep your eyes open!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's time to find out just what your ideas are worth, and that means opening up and sharing them with those who make the big decisions.
