ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- While you are usually quite businesslike, this week you're likely to opt for a more freeform approach to key dealings. (April 5-April 19) -- You will get the support you need, but from a highly unusual source. That ultimately doesn't matter; it's the help that counts!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You needn't be secretive when it comes to your desires. Share them with those around you, and someone may help you satisfy them. (May 6-May 20) -- You're yearning for something that has been kept from you for quite some time. The odds that you will get what you want have improved considerably.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be overcomplicating an issue that is, at the core, very simple. A friend will be able to help you streamline your efforts. (June 7-June 20) -- Those who gravitate toward you will have much to offer, both personally and professionally. You'll want to give them some creative latitude.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You are looking at things from the most stable and clear vantage point, but perhaps this isn't enabling you to recognize creative potential. (July 8-July 22) -- Once you take a deep breath and begin moving in a certain direction, you'll find that all sorts of variables fall into place just as you had hoped.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Combine your dreams and aspirations with those of a friend, and the two of you can achieve something that no one else has imagined. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to progress at the rate you had anticipated, but right now any measurable forward motion is worth the effort. Don't change course just yet!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You are striving for peak efficiency, but there are circumstances at play that may prevent you from getting there just yet. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What you say and do will be watched closely by those who have some kind of stake in backroom negotiations to which you are an indirect contributor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You are not in a position to make demands of others, nor should you have to do what others tell you to do every step of the way. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are in a much more adventurous mood than usual, but you must take care that this doesn't cause you to sacrifice all caution!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll enjoy just a bit more personal freedom than usual, and that's all it will take for you to make a dream come true. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A loved one may react to your decisions in a wholly selfish manner, and it will take time for you to convince him or her that all will be well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- News you receive as the week opens will inform what you do and say as the days pass -- leading to an important announcement at week's end. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You are not doing what is in your best interest as much as doing what will satisfy someone else's greed. It's time to give yourself more of what you need!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to fight harder than usual to keep your emotions in check. A heavy workload and fatigue are conspiring against you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can combine your wants and needs into a neat little package that has you feeling much luckier -- and more accomplished -- than the competition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may feel as though a loved one has put you in a position you simply cannot navigate successfully -- but "impossible" is only a word! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Much depends on your ability to recognize opportunities as they arise -- before they are upon you! Things will move at a very quick pace.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may feel as though you are farther from home than usual. Is this because you must travel, or because you want to? (March 6-March 20) -- You can combine business and pleasure in a way that takes others completely by surprise. They may soon be copying your every move!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A head-on competition is looming, and you'll have time to prepare yourself as fully as possible -- though it may not start just yet. (April 5-April 19) -- You haven't forgotten a time when things went exactly your way, and you're eager for that to happen again. Such a trend is likely to begin soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have left something for the last minute, and that minute has passed you by. You must not make such a mistake again! (May 6-May 20) -- You have plenty to occupy your mind, but while you are thinking about key issues, you must also tend to routine responsibilities and not drop the ball.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may receive news from a friend far from home that heightens your level of concern. Perhaps you will want to schedule a trip very soon. (June 7-June 20) -- What happens on Monday shouldn't happen again on Tuesday -- but Wednesday and Thursday may see repeats. How can you break this uncomfortable cycle?

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Others may be jumping on a certain bandwagon in droves, but you may hang back. If pressed, you can argue your case effectively. (July 8-July 22) -- The week opens on a note of highest expectation, and it's up to you to keep things going in the right direction. Don't let anyone derail you!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You mustn't overlook domestic issues just because they may be less volatile and dramatic than what arises at work. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not get exactly what you bargained for, but can you live with what comes your way anyway? All it will take is a minor adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The mistake you are most likely to make is to think that you are more prepared for what's coming your way than you really are. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Gather your resources one at a time. Be sure that what you have is what you need -- and that it is all in fine working order.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can learn a great deal by watching someone in action -- even if it's someone whose work you don't usually appreciate. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Some time ago, you set aside a project that meant a great deal to you. You'll soon find the time to resurrect it and set your sights on eventual success!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are more interested in the affairs of another than in your own -- and for good reason! He or she has what you dearly want. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Be sure to get the rest you need; don't burn the candle at both ends. Focus on jobs that have a definite ending point for which to aim.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- A relationship that ended some time ago may be rekindled, but for a reason that will take you by surprise. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You won't have to follow anyone's instructions for long, but at the outset it's a good idea to listen to any advice you may receive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll want to lean on a friend throughout much of the week, as the issues that will arise may challenge you on a basic, emotional level. (March 6-March 20) -- Are you truly afraid of what you might do if the course of events does not change soon? You can protect yourself and others by talking openly and honestly.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may realize that yes, indeed, everything does happen for the best -- at least during the first part of the week. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be ready to move on, but a former loved one is trying to hold you back. You understand his or her reasons, but right now you must do what is best for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may benefit from a change of venue -- or at least a rearrangement of familiar surroundings. You need some stimulation! (May 6-May 20) -- You know what is on the line, but you also know that you cannot force anything that is taking its sweet time. Let things develop organically.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're going to have to start somewhere, even if it means doing something you are not completely prepared for. You'll learn as you go. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be unable to give someone all the information he or she needs, but perhaps you can fill in the blanks by demonstrating what can be done.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may require an attitude adjustment at some point, as enthusiasm will take a hit when things don't go your way. (July 8-July 22) -- You're taking things seriously enough, surely -- but there are some who may still think that you're not really on the ball. You can and must prove otherwise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Assess current needs carefully before heading down a road you have not traveled before. The unknown can present many very real dangers.

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The choices you face may not be very exciting, but you can trust that they are all viable options. Each can lead you down a promising path.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have to compromise right out of the gate, and this may dampen your spirits somewhat until you see the gains it produces. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Quality time is essential! You don't want to let the hours simply tick by doing the same old routine things -- especially with a loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You will not know precisely what to do as the week opens, but if you watch what others are doing, you'll be able to devise a game plan. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- All that you do will be affected by what someone else is doing -- and vice versa. Don't make the mistake of trying to hide things from each other when collaboration could be so beneficial!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Others are eager to see if you will simply do what you are told -- but that's not likely, is it? Assert your independence! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may have to keep an important piece of information from a loved one during the first part of the week, until he or she is really ready to take it in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- A situation develops on the homefront that requires you to take the lead in a way that doesn't come naturally. Children will listen!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You don't want to seem rushed or agitated in any way, as this can turn others away from you at a pivotal time. Take it easy! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You will be in a position to call the shots at least some of the time, so you must be prepared with a clear vision and a solid plan.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may find that you are not in a very advantageous position as the week opens. You can work your way out of this jam with careful maneuvering. (March 6-March 20) -- You are waiting for someone else to take the lead, but he or she is waiting for you to do the same. You are in a better position, so it's up to you!
