ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Messages are likely to come your way rather quickly today, and you must be ready to send them off to other recipients just as quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is no time to jump into something without assessing all the risks and exploring what possible gains might be. Do your homework.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Productivity will soon be on the rise, and you may want to adjust your calendar to accommodate what will surely be an increased workload.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Just because something requires effort today doesn’t mean it can't be enjoyable. Indeed, the harder you work the more fun you'll have!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Why do you have the funny feeling that someone else knows something that you don't? You'll surely want to get to the bottom of this today!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't risk your hard-earned money on something that doesn't have the support of others. Focus on what you know to be rewarding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Communicate regularly with another today as you put together the pieces of a tricky personal puzzle. An alternate view can prove quite helpful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A certain issue may require some time today that you haven't accounted for -- but you pass up this opportunity only at your peril.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must be sure to keep notions of quality and quantity separate; they are not at all the same, and one must take priority today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to explore more issues today than the one that is central to your current work. Follow where your interests lead you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you do during morning hours may prove much more essential to a current project than what you have planned for later in the day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must make any and all requests as clear and explicit as possible today. Mere suggestion isn't likely to get you what you really need.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your emotional attachment to people, places and things will become far more evident to you today and fuel your decision-making process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself racing the clock today because you're afraid of coming in second -- but this is a fear based on false assumptions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that criticism doesn't force you into a dark place in which frustration and defensiveness fuel your behavior. Listen to reason!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you assumed would be a simple collaboration is likely to prove much more complicated today. Make sure your research is up to date!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You cannot afford to threaten the status quo right now -- but you can begin making plans that you can implement when the time is right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to shed light on agreements and arrangements made in the shadows recently. You cannot progress without opening things up to others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can afford to be a little bolder in your planning at this time. Take a leaf out of someone's book and do what you've long admired.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may choose to model your behavior on someone you've been observing for quite some time, but you mustn't consider this permanent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be facing a daunting task, but if you gather all of your resources together, you can do what some others think cannot be done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to shy away from a task because it promises to be difficult. Indeed, that's the best reason to go all in today!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others may choose a different path, but the one you're currently on can provide you with an experience that proves highly educational.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You cannot expect others to satisfy your desires if you're unwilling to tell them what you want. Be open and honest about all such issues.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be met with tricky questions every step of the way today. Once you give even one correct answer, more should come with surprising ease.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Assistance from someone you know only slightly may prove far more valuable to you than that provided by a close friend. Find out why!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Steer clear of anyone today who offers something for nothing, as you're sure to be on the losing end when all is said and done. Be smart!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Tracking someone else's progress will tell you much about your own. At some point today you'll want to refocus your energies inward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Though the day may start in a rather relaxed manner, later on the pace will quicken suddenly and you'll want to be ready to respond.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Doing what you promised may prove difficult if not impossible today, but you can offer an alternative that is actually much better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Prepare to explain yourself to someone in authority today. This may not amount to much, but what you don't know can hurt you.
