GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be bombarded by the negative today, but your resistance should be strong and effective. You needn't bow to pressure from a rival.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Priorities are likely to shift slightly today before you know what's going on, but you'll catch up quickly and see what can and must be done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have what it takes to resist the kind of negativity that is getting others down. Focus on what gives you strength and inspiration today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may wish to ignore something that you cannot prevent and do not wish to acknowledge, but that's not really an option today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A call to someone you trust yields information you've been waiting for, but it doesn't mean you have permission to do as you will -- yet.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not about to alter your opinion about a certain topic merely because someone is urging you to reform. Why not offer an explanation?
