ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you're attempting need not be in vain, but you have to be more concrete in your thinking about what is possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're on the verge of a discovery that can, ultimately, lead you in an exciting new direction. You have loose ends to tie up first, of course.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone is expecting a lot of you today, and you can come through with flying colors -- provided you don't psych yourself out for some reason.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good day to check under the hood to ensure that everything is running as it should. Hidden difficulties can cause big problems.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be rather stubborn about what you think you know today, but as more and more evidence mounts, you'll likely be less and less certain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The distance between you and a friend is nothing at all if you're willing to reach out in any way available. Just keep the connection humming.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- An unconventional approach to a common problem can yield surprising results -- but you may not have discovered a permanent solution just yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care that you don't try to do too much at any one time today. Set limits that you can obey, and remember the rules apply to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be taking something for granted that may not be yours for very long. It's time to let your feelings be known to all concerned.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're not likely to get through to people today if you insist on speaking in code. Be direct and honest and say exactly what you mean.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be under the influence of someone whose hold on you grows stronger with each passing day. Right now, you have questions to ask.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may be urging you to sever ties with someone else, but today is surely not the day. You have much to consider before taking that step.

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.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You've been making plans that seem to be coming together at last, but take care that you're not overlooking something at this juncture today.

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?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Following the rules may not seem like the most pleasant option today, but you'll certainly gain more than you might expect.

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?

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The unusual proves quite attractive to you today, but take care you don't lose your head and wind up immersed in something you'll later regret.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll learn something about what it is you're really trying to do -- which you may not have understood in detail until this very day.

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.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may fear that your reputation is in danger, but there are those who have your back and who will protect you from anyone malicious.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Those who know you well may be pushing for a certain change that you are hesitant to make. Think again, for they see things that you don't.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Work you do against a rival today may not serve you well in the long run. Avoid anything overtly competitive and your efforts will pay off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Time spent searching for something you only suspect exists has been wasted -- until now. Today, all evidence tells you you're getting close.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- While others are working out problems that are self-made, you can be enjoying the fruits of recent labors. Timing is key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone may object to your seeming expertise today, but you can prove you know what you're doing -- and what you're talking about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not willing to move on today until you've really come to terms with certain issues that you sense will be with you for a while.
