ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're not likely to think about the ordinary very much at all until someone turns it into something extraordinary. (April 5-April 19) -- Avoid the artificial -- in what you think, say, do and eat. The more organic your processes, the more likely you will be to rise to the top.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- All it takes is once. As soon as you get that one time out of the way, you can move on to something more important and lasting. (May 6-May 20) -- Despite the fact that the desire to heal is universal -- and the need for it is obvious -- you seem to resist taking a step that can start the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Let a certain someone call the shots, and you'll feel that you've put yourself in very good hands. Don't wait. (June 7-June 20) -- You're able to interpret messages and decipher signs with remarkable accuracy. For the most part, it's purely instinctive.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may find yourself arguing against the idea that what you are after is largely obsolete, and you'll have proof by week's end. (July 8-July 22) -- You'll want to ask yourself how safe you really feel as the week opens, and you'll work all week long to ensure that the answer for you and others is "perfectly."

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Though you may get a cool reception early in the week, later on you'll enjoy a much warmer climate among those who support you openly. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to restate your position in terms that more people will understand. Events will take an unexpected turn as the weekend approaches.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Though someone insists that his or her recent activities have all been legit, you can shed light on some issues that are worth investigating. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll need to steer clear of not only the appearance of conflict, but outright conflict itself. This can be done if you confess certain faults.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A glimpse into another's past will show you more about yourself than about him or her. It may be time to make a new kind of commitment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Someone who has underestimated you will put him- or herself at risk by exposing plans to you at a pivotal time. Make your move!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can improve the situation at home by granting a family member a little more autonomy -- though you'll want to keep your eyes open. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What happens early in the week is likely to meet with your approval, but later on your expectations may be dashed in an unusual way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A loved one will be able to get more out of you than you had anticipated, and he or she won't have to do anything unusual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The obvious plays a key role in your week. What you see and hear is likely to mean precisely what you think it means -- until it doesn't!

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A message you recently sent comes back to you unread, so to speak -- but does that mean your intent hasn't gotten through loud and clear? You must wait and see.

(March 6-March 20) -- What you do for another can help you in a general sense, as your overall outlook will improve. Others are eager to make your acquaintance.
