ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can get much further today by being subtle and suggestive than you can by barking orders or insisting others bend to your will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be caught between two considerable forces today, each of which would alone be enough to knock you sideways. Batten down the hatches!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Reach as high as you can today, as you will surely get farther than you had originally anticipated. Personal restrictions are few.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- No matter how well prepared you may be, you must be ready to deal with the unexpected -- especially when you are forced to improvise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can combine your ambitions with the ambitions of another today and devise a far more effective strategy by working closely together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone else knows what you're going through at this time, so there's no need to hide the truth from them -- or any of their close allies.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You should be able to parlay a single bit of luck into something much more memorable today. Much depends on who is by your side.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are at the threshold of a very productive period, and though you may not know where it will lead you, there is much to anticipate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You need a little more space than usual today to do what is on the docket -- but take care you don't play fast and loose with propriety.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something you've long been working toward is likely to come to fruition today -- or at least show signs that the end is near. Be ready!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can certainly overlook small infractions today, especially if what others are doing is getting results you've been after yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that you're not so eager to get from where you are to where someone else is that you forget the very real value of the status quo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You certainly don't want to come off as being bossy today -- but you do have some instructions for others. You must be willing to listen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will want to have something to show for your efforts today when all is said and done, which means you must take someone else's advice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your instincts, usually quite keen, may betray you today -- unless you are very careful to control your impulses in a few key moments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not want to do things alone today, but that's likely your best chance for success. You can share what you have done quite freely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You see things others don't, it's true, but today that may not prove helpful to you, as it's essential that you are closely in sync with them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to begin prepping for a trip of sorts, and it's necessary that you learn all you can about your destination. Start there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Any authority you may have must be shared with another today, or you may find that those who usually follow you are ready to go elsewhere.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care that you don't make decisions solely based upon your personal situation. What's happening with others counts as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You aren't able to control what goes on around you today as much as you had hoped, but you can pivot and make it work for you instead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A quick decision on your part keeps a minor catastrophe at bay. He who tries to do what no one else can may be surprised in a big way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's absolutely essential that you are civil with those who choose to argue with you today. Trust in facts -- and a rational approach.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- When you reach the halfway point today, you'll want to stop and assess your progress. Be sure you aren't standing in another's way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You want to be involved in the day's activities on a more immersive level than usual, and this can be arranged by asking the right person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The difference between what matters and what doesn't may be unclear to you as the day begins, but later on, all confusion should evaporate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can expect the going to be rather tough today if you're not willing to work with someone who is in a more responsible position than you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Cooperation is the name of the game today, but not everyone will have gotten the memo! It may fall to you to build cohesion where there is none.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You don't have to look far today for some good ideas, and all you have to do is accept the fact that a rival may know precisely what to do!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your optimism can surely see you through today, and you're going to want to share your outlook with someone who seems lost and alone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Do what you can to get the lay of the land as quickly as possible today after you find yourself in new territory. No one will guide you -- yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must not think that you know everything you need to know today; there is much to be presented to you that contains altogether new information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Caution is advised today as you move from one landscape to another. Something very different is to be required of you as a result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know who you want to assist you today, but you're going to have to engage in some solo preparation before bringing anyone else on board.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can turn a disadvantage into something of an advantage today, but you mustn't expect to come out on top all by yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've seen things more clearly in the past, but you're going to have to forge ahead today in any event. Trust someone else's assessment.
