ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can surely capitalize on major trends at this time, but take care that you don't merely throw good money after bad. Use your head! (April 4-April 19) -- Someone may shower you with all that you had ever wanted -- or so it may seem -- and yet there may still be something missing. Clues lie beneath the surface.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may find yourself competing with someone this week who started with a clear advantage -- but you can catch up by following the rules. (May 6-May 20) -- You have a suspicion that someone is looking over your shoulder, so a certain clever deception may be required in order for you to get everything done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Now is no time to shirk responsibilities, which are more numerous and more important than you can imagine. Get cracking! (June 7-June 20) -- When you reach the halfway point this week -- which is known only to you, perhaps -- you'll realize just how far you've come, and how far you have yet to go.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A reunion is in the offing this week, but that doesn't mean you can turn your back on certain key responsibilities. You can fit it all in. (July 8-July 22) –- It's a good time to consider trying something traditional in a non-traditional way. This kind of paradox is good for your overall way of thinking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Showering others with all the love you have is never a bad idea, but this week it is all but required -- and it will be reciprocated, surely. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Something happens this week that challenges your belief system head-on. Give someone a chance to speak his or her mind before answering back. Look to the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Before making a firm plan, you'll want to know who can join you as you forge ahead. Creating just the right vibe is important this week! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- No one is likely to challenge you in the way that you most fear, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in other ways. Be ready for someone to "balk."

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A close friend picks up the slack this week as you try your best to be in two or three places at once. It is the season of miracles, after all!

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A loved one puts you on the spot, perhaps inadvertently, and you will be required to do something that goes against your every instinct. You can do it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can take pleasure in what you've always enjoyed this week, but it's likely that it will come to you in a slightly different form. Can you adjust? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be reunited with someone who knows just how to inspire you at this time of year. He or she is able to lift your spirits in a new way, perhaps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The quality of your interactions is far more important than the number you schedule. Don't try to do too much! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can do what is required of you this week in a manner that impresses not only those who know the business in the first place, but also those who are strangers to it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Put your best foot forward this week as early as possible; you're not likely to have a lot of time for people to get used to what you're offering.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You will be dealing with several seemingly paradoxical realities this week, but who better to sort them out? You have a sixth sense. (May 6-May 20) -- Nothing imagined must get you down this week, or keep you from dealing with things that are real and tangible.

(June 7-June 20) -- You have more to give this week than anyone else might suppose, and it will be up to you to present ideas that otherwise might not be implemented.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll want to do that which furthers your agenda in the most expeditious way this week. Don't get mired in someone else's "issues." (July 8-July 22) -- You're eager to see a good friend succeed this week, and you'll have much to do with his or her rate of progress as you take part in a unique manner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You will find yourself working closely with someone you hardly know right now -- but that unfamiliarity will be erased by the end of the week. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can explore a new side of an endeavor that has begun to leave you rather cold. Once you see what's possible, however, you'll be reinvigorated!

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can step in and assist a friend this week -- but take care that you're not stealing his or her thunder in any way. You'll know when to fade into the background.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- There is too much to enjoy this week to let yourself be thwarted by any suggestion of something unsavory. Keep a smile on your face!

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The difference between being "in" and being "out" will become clear to you as the week draws to a close. A friend solves a mystery you've long tried to crack.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Your ability to see through a smokescreen will serve you well throughout the week. You mustn't let anyone keep you in the dark. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be distracted by the work that someone else is doing alongside you this week. Are you appreciative of the quality, or somehow jealous of it?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You will enjoy the hustle and bustle this week as long as it yields results for you personally; otherwise, you'll want nothing to do with it.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The more specific your plans, the greater your odds of success. You can do nothing, of course, about someone else's "surprise." (April 5-April 19) -- You are trying to prevent something that threatens to slow you down for quite some time. This week, such efforts are best shared with like-minded individuals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Something lies just around the corner that will prove a game-changer in many ways when at last you have a chance to enjoy it. (May 6-May 20) -- Your view of the past is tainted by your fears of the future. Where does the present fall in all of this? You mustn't neglect things that are happening right now!

(June 7-June 20) -- You don't want to miss out on any lessons offered by someone who has been through what you are currently facing for the first time. Listen up!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- What happens to you early in the week will enable you to face a later challenge with confidence. You are approaching a necessary turning point.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are perhaps too concerned with fitting in this week; do what you know is right, and let the chips fall where they may. Don't force the issue!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're trying to get someone else to follow along, but perhaps you are not leading as well as you might. Maintain close contact. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may not be able to hide your true desires this week; this can be a good thing when someone who can satisfy them learns of them for the first time.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You will remember someone who had much to do with the formation of ideas that are still in play at this point in your life, personally and professionally.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You have made some big plans recently, and this week you'll have the chance to see if they will pan out as expected. Be disciplined.
