ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may want to take a supporting role in today's affairs in order to let someone else feel what it's like in the spotlight. Don't go far.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The private and the public aspects of your life are likely to come together in an unusual way today. You must make sure it's not a collision.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You cannot afford to be too critical of others today, as the harsh glare of judgment is likely to be trained on you before too long. Be fair.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Doing your best is all anyone can ask of you today, but you are determined that your "best" at this time will be better than it was before.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Those who have a problem with the way you do things will have to speak up today or hold their peace indefinitely, as you're certainly on the move.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you do face to face and one on one today is sure to be more valuable to you than anything you accomplish in a group setting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Make a certain decision quickly today so you have plenty of extra time to devote to another one that is nowhere as easy to make.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're not about to be persuaded by anyone that your motives and methods are anything but pure and effective -- but are they really?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There is more than one path leading to the destination of your choice -- but how do you know which one to take? Follow another's lead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The social scene may not give you all you are hoping for during daylight hours, but after dark is likely a very different story. Be ready!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your expectations must be reined in today if you're going to avoid a big disappointment at day's end. See what works for others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- "No" may be the only answer you hear today when you ask for permission to do this, that or the other thing. Should you do it anyway?
