ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Anyone who presses you to act prematurely today doesn't understand what is really on the line right now. Indeed, you have a lot at stake.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have reason to doubt someone's veracity today -- but don't make too big a thing of it. Approach the issue in a casual, friendly way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can be much more forceful when it comes to going after what you want, but that's not really your style, is it? Do it your way today!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Momentum builds quickly today once you've made a strong start -- but that may take you more than one try. Don't let frustration derail you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may want to suggest working together with someone who has been on the outs for a while. This could be a good way to heal old wounds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Information comes to you that seems unrelated to the issues you're dealing with yourself today -- but that's an error of perception.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A brief disappointment must not be allowed to keep you from fulfilling your potential today. Acknowledge it, assess it and then move on!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You understand someone better than he or she understands you, and that may make a big difference today in the way you treat each other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can get, and keep, the upper hand today -- but you may have to do something in the process that some people think is bending the rules.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Interpretation of various developments today will likely depend upon where you are at the time. Perceptions are changing rapidly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is the time to open your doors, and your arms, to one who has been on the periphery for too long. A new relationship begins today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others may be interested in your opinions today, but you don't feel ready to share them just yet. You need a little bit more information.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It will become more apparent today what you have in common with someone you've long considered a rival. This discovery gives you a boost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Focus on the quality of your work today, not the quantity. You can surely do enough to satisfy the boss; you must also satisfy yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can put one or two plans into motion simultaneously today in the hopes that they will at some point merge and become one. This can work!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You needn't give too much weight to an apparent setback today; it's merely a learning situation, and you can make the most of it if you try.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is not the time to distract yourself with thoughts of revenge. There is a lot for you to do, and it all depends on a positive outlook.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your confidence is on the rise, and you can look past any errors you make to see where you're going and what rewards may be coming your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have more than one good reason for doing the very thing that others don't want you to do. Never fear: The resulting conflict won't last long.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You've been waiting long enough to make your move, and today's the day. Take care, however, that you don't cross paths with a certain rival.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must keep track of certain developments today as they happen; getting reports after the fact will not be current enough to do you good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- That which others think is funny you are likely to take quite seriously today -- and vice versa. This is more, however, than a matter of taste.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll enjoy a boost today thanks to a new set of tools that you may have just discovered. You still have to get used to some new methods.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have what it takes to complete a difficult assignment today, and the powers that be know this well, which is why they entrusted it to you!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Plant your feet, set your back and let fly! Today you have much to say and you must appear strong and virtually invincible as you say it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have the opportunity to try something new for the first time, and you mustn't ever let any preconceived notions stand in your way!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The situation you find yourself in today will require a full commitment from you if you're going to avoid danger and impress your fans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to hide your true desires from a friend or co-worker today simply to get through a routine series of tasks. Talk openly later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You likely feel that you're successfully concealing something from another, but that is hardly true. He or she knows more than you do, in fact.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A situation calls to you today that combines a social outlet with a professional opportunity. You don't want to say no to this, certainly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to receive another offer from the same familiar source -- but today you will want to take it more seriously than you yet have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't have to deck out a new space to suit your personality and taste in order to get some good work done -- but it would be enjoyable!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone is waiting for you to pass judgment today on a recent endeavor, but you're not willing to say what has to be said -- just yet.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to enjoy yourself with one or two special friends, and you may -- once you get a certain job finished and records completed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can entertain others today even while getting a lot of work done. There's no current rule against combining business and pleasure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel as though someone is trying to sabotage your efforts, but the truth is that this is just part of a legitimate competition.
