ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to pick up the pieces left strewn about by someone today -- but there's nothing you could possibly have done to avoid it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take a close look at what you've recently accomplished, and you'll realize that you're on the right path after all -- at least for the time being.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- While others are watching today, you can certainly prove much, but when you are alone once more, you'll want to relax and dream of other things.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are eager for assistance, but you cannot slow down or stop if it doesn't materialize. Keep going, and adjust as necessary when help is at hand.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take a close look at what someone is doing very near you today. There is much to be learned from one whose ambitions are similar to your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You needn't do what someone else is doing simply because it seems the easy choice. The more difficult option offers you more today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be tempted to treat yourself to something that you've recently learned is not very good for you. Do you want to "cheat" in this way?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you haven't gone to great pains for someone who is not likely to appreciate the effort. What dynamic is playing out here?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's a good day to speak out in support of a cause you've long believed in, but take care you don't stick your neck out too far at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A warning comes your way today, but you are tempted to ignore it, given your position. Are you really seeing what lies before you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be dedicating too much time or effort on what is very likely a dead-end endeavor. It's time to think about what you really want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must take a close look at the big picture today; the details you are able to see at last will make all the difference. A plan can be made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be able to follow instructions to the letter today, but your improvisations may, in fact, be more effective in the end.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're at the very beginning of something that can prove quite enjoyable, and possibly lucrative, if you stick with it. What comes next?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have trouble overcoming an obstacle that is purely self-made. Turn your thoughts inward and address what you cannot say out loud.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It will be much harder to stop once you've started today than it will be to take those first few steps. Something compelling is leading you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Inspiration comes to you today from the strangest of sources -- though you may have had a hunch it would come into play soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find that there is absolutely no place to hide today, so whatever you're trying to conceal is best shared openly. You know why.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A certain endeavor may not be paying off as handsomely as you had hoped, but is that a reason to call a halt to it? Not yet, certainly.
