ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The pace you establish during morning hours is likely best for you, but not for everyone around you. You can let up just a bit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You cannot keep all the rules that are in place today simply because you are not playing the same game as most others. This is understood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't be fooled by that which is advertised as "free of charge" today. You know full well that there is always a price to pay in the end.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's not necessary for you to understand the ins and outs of a certain endeavor. To get results, you simply have to stick with it long enough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may feel that you are simply repeating yourself today and not doing anything original. If this true, this can teach you many lessons.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone's generosity surprises you today, but you'll soon understand that it is not true philanthropy. You're expected to pay something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The difference between a rival's approach and your own can be seen in the way you each fill your morning hours. You are much more efficient.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's time to address an issue you've been intentionally overlooking for some time. Take your objections straight to the top, if necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you pay for and what comes to your door may not be quite the same, and you must immediately set the wheels in motion to correct this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've got to keep your head in the game today if you're going to be competitive all the way to the buzzer. A dramatic ending is likely.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A situation that arises in the morning may seem simple enough, but late in the day, it's likely to resurface and present a serious problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must hold your ideals near and dear today, as you're likely to be attacked by someone who is trying to weaken your stance and reputation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The path you are on may not lead you where you want to go today, but you have time to explore other interesting spots along the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your tenacity will be the envy of others today -- but you may be growing tired of hanging on to the bitter end. What do you have to gain?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can have a great deal of fun today, whether at work or at play. Indeed, you may have trouble differentiating one from the other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The rules you make for others today you must be willing to follow yourself -- or you may soon have something of an uprising on your hands.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can't get caught up in someone's scheme today. Remain aloof and independent and be ready to act when an opportunity arises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Absolutes may not figure in your calculations at all today. You must be ready to deal in issues that are not immediately clear or apparent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be driven to extreme emotions today if you're not careful to protect yourself from someone who knows how you are vulnerable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Circumstances may seem to stack up against you today, but a certain hidden advantage should be made available to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your idea of a good time may not jibe with another's, so you may have to go your separate ways today, unless you can reach a compromise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be able to keep jealousy from rearing its ugly head today, but you can -- and must -- keep others from knowing how you feel.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You cannot afford to have your creativity limited in any way today, by another person or by circumstances. You must insist on having free rein.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must try to satisfy your own needs today before you tend to someone near you who needs help. They will require all your attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You require a certain piece of information that only one person is able to provide -- and at only one particular time. Be patient.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The choices ahead of you today will almost surely require you to look within yourself for the answers to a few difficult questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before anyone else gets settled today, you'll want to claim what you think is yours by rights, and you may have fewer rivals than expected.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Though you were looking forward to working with someone in particular today, it's not likely to pan out. You have a difficult choice to make.
