ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may surprise someone with a renewed interest in what is going on between you. The professional gains are likely to be considerable. (April 5-April 19) -- You cannot expect the same old thing to yield results that are new and exciting this week. You must be willing to set sail in uncharted waters for a time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The journey you take this week will bring you very close to your heart's desire on at least one occasion -- but will you recognize it as such? (May 6-May 20) -- Others may congratulate you on recent gains, but you're concerned that you've not yet gotten what you were most hoping for -- professionally or personally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll have reason to take a break as the week winds down. Your efforts are likely to have been unusually strenuous -- and productive, too. (June 7-June 20) -- You may discover that to get what you want, you must recognize it clearly and put yourself in the right place at the right time. But is that really easy to do?

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may require help as the week opens in order to see things through and accomplish everything on the docket. Give and take! (July 8-July 22) -- You may have to ask a friend or partner to take a less visible role in your affairs this week, as you try to increase your standing among certain others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Put yourself in another's shoes and you'll see why following the same course this week is not at all the best personal or professional policy. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- As you gravitate toward a new group of potential allies, you'll want to examine your reasons for any kind of change. What's really at play right now?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be left with more questions than answers this week, despite your attempt to secure concrete information from reliable sources. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are likely to begin the week in a state of high expectation, but you know that this means you will certainly be disappointed on at least one or two counts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not have a handle on your emotional development at this time. Highs and lows make choices quite difficult this week. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You want to make decisions based on personal needs, but you will be reminded of your responsibility to others. Compromise!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Looking back will enable you to get a clearer picture of what lies ahead; this seeming paradox is nothing unfamiliar, so enjoy it! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- How you see yourself five years from now will prove, ultimately, to have much to do with what happens this week. Current developments are of lasting import.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are feeling the full effects of that which happened some time ago, but which can only now be considered "full blown." Act accordingly! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have a deadline looming, but before you do what has been assigned, you must take care of a personal situation that is close to getting out of hand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may find yourself in charge of something that has not yet taken shape; it will be up to you this week to give it a form -- and a purpose. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What happens behind closed doors as the week opens must not be revealed to others until you are certain that all parties concerned are willing to share.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- A minor shock will be good for you this week, as it steels your resolve and inspires you to make a move you've been considering for a while. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Take care that what you say or do this week cannot be misinterpreted, as that can lead to a situation from which it will be hard to extricate yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can prove to others this week that you are exactly what you say you are -- and the reaction will be almost universally positive. (March 6-March 20) -- There are those who haven't a care in the world right now, but that's not you! Indeed, you likely have more on your plate than usual that requires attention.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A past glory inspires you, but you must take care that you don't simply try to repeat yourself, for that way leads to failure and disappointment. (April 5-April 19) -- A new approach has you rethinking many things that you had taken for granted recently. You are starting to realize that there's much more to uncover.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're likely to attract criticism as the week opens, but your performance as the days pass can change many minds and win you support. (May 6-May 20) -- It's been a while since you were in touch with that certain someone who knows how to talk to you in the most effective way. You need his or her input this week!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What you hear on the news or through the grapevine must not be allowed to alter your way of thinking about certain key issues. Stay the course. (June 7-June 20) -- You know who has your best interests at heart, and anyone who does not is best avoided this week. Focus on doing things with those who are most open to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can come to the rescue of someone who finds him- or herself in a position you were in not too long ago. The same "trick" will work in this case. (July 8-July 22) -- You can work wonders with little this week; you don't have to spend a lot of time or money on a potential solution that just amounts to guesswork.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Those who are not on your side as the week opens are likely to support you wholeheartedly as it comes to an end. All you have to do is be yourself! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Try to remember everything and you're not likely to remember much; make checklists and refer to them faithfully, lest you neglect something essential.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It's not so much that your very life is in danger this week, but you are certainly exposing yourself to something that is best avoided. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't let yourself respond to the unexpected in a way that makes you less productive; remain calm, rational and open to possibilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Weigh the pros and cons of a situation that is quickly developing, and you'll be able to make the right decision. A shot in the dark won't help! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You receive news this week that alters your trajectory in a subtle but significant way. You'll certainly want to keep tabs on someone else's progress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The first thing to do is ensure that your schedule is in sync with someone else's. No one will benefit from working at cross-purposes. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You have more than one difficult decision to make this week, and all will affect those who have allied themselves with you. Don't lost sight of the facts!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Take a chance this week and you may find that the old ways can work wonders when combined with new and untried methods. Experiment! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have more than one reason to throw your hat in the ring with a friend whose talents complement yours. Working together, you can both enjoy a big success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're in need of a little more guidance this week; once someone points you in the right direction, you'll be sure to accomplish much. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be struggling to get things done in the face of an unrelenting challenge. What someone else did before can inspire you and inform your decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Make communication a top priority this week, and you can make things happen in areas that proved too much for the competition only recently. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can persuade someone to contribute to your efforts this week -- just in time. With this one addition, you can transform your entire team.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You must be willing to see things through another's eyes today if you want to smooth things over and settle on a common approach. (March 6-March 20) -- Your methods may seem outdated to some, but you can prove that they still work quite well for you, despite a minor setback toward midweek.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Any sense of ease this week is coming from within, for that which you face is likely to be more complicated than usual. (April 5-April 19) -- Just because something is hard doesn't mean it isn't worth doing; on the contrary, it is likely to be far more important for you to do because it is difficult!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- What you are doing may confuse those who only claim to know you, but those who know you well will understand everything quite clearly. (May 6-May 20) -- You know where to go for the kind of assistance you need, but you may choose to solicit it without letting anyone else know. Why is that?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can give yourself precisely what you need, but don't you think it will be more satisfying to let a loved one do it for you? (June 7-June 20) -- You may be getting yourself in hot water without even knowing it; as the week progresses, you'll want to know just how others are reacting to your every move.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- In the time it takes to do something half as difficult you can reach a certain personal goal this week -- and share benefits with a friend. (July 8-July 22) -- It may be time for you to come clean and let others know just what you've done, and why. There should be no punishment in store; it will all make sense!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be distracted throughout much of the week by someone who is doing things in a way that doesn't sit well with you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have to repeat yourself in word and deed more than a few times in order to ensure that others know what you're talking about and what you are doing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Don't let anyone push you into a corner this week. You must remain free and flexible so that you can maneuver as necessary to avoid obstacles. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A threat comes to you in an unusual form this week, and you may not recognize it for what it is until the time comes for you to act. Don't hesitate!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You are able to show someone close to you just how you expect certain things to be done. When the time comes, you can let him or her fly solo. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What you have lost is likely to be found by someone who didn't even know it was missing. This week, you'll have many occasions to thank perfect strangers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You must know just what your true purpose really is this week, otherwise you will simply wander and become more frustrated with yourself. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You and a friend, though separated by necessary circumstances, will find a way to stay in touch and keep things moving forward in a most productive way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A reunion of sorts is to be expected today, but as soon as you think you know what it will bring, you're likely to be quite surprised. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Someone is trying to keep you off balance this week. The work you do is good, and you may rely on your track record to give you confidence.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You will get closer to a certain personal goal this week than you have ever gotten -- though you may not be ready to take the last few necessary steps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to study certain situations and circumstances carefully this week before you have the confidence to jump in. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You are waiting for someone to provide you with certain essentials, but you can't wait too long! You can get moving without having all the tools at your disposal.

(March 6-March 20) -- Focus on that which appears clear and crisp; don't spend time trying to work your way through any kind of fog -- whether real or imagined.
