ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't let any physical ills keep you from reaching a certain personal goal today. You can power through and make things happen!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you do during the first part of the day may make it impossible for someone to keep up with you. Is that your true intention?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be struck with a notion that you cannot shake today -- but if you let it develop fully, it's likely to pay off in a day or two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to pay a little something for a certain privilege that you know is rare. By day's end, this outlay of cash will have been worth it!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time to swing into action, and you know just what to do -- and how. Someone you know doesn't trust that you can pull this off.
