ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Focus on that which gives you pleasure today, and you can give pleasure to another in return. Take care that you don't neglect pressing duties.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A conflict of personal taste must not be allowed to come between you and a friend. Remember, to each his own -- and you can prove the adage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to hear from someone who has been out of the picture for a while, but you must take care not to overreact to what you hear.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may offend you by assuming you don't know what you're doing -- but your best response is simply to do your job well, as you usually do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep away from those who think they know everything today, for they're only likely to gum up the works with unnecessary contributions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to stop and think how you will fit everything into this one day -- but you're overlooking one major advantage that only you have.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
