(April 5-April 19) -- Cooperation is sure to work for most others, but this week you may be compelled -- for good reason -- to work entirely on your own for a while.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You must treat yourself right if you expect to treat anyone else right as well; you must come first this week, though you needn't announce it. (May 6-May 20) -- You have a few problems to solve as the week opens, not least of which is how you can possibly be in two -- or three -- places at once. Call for assistance!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Take a close look at yourself in the mirror as the week opens, and you'll recognize much about yourself that serves you well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A friend may get in touch with you at some point this week, giving you a very good reason to shift gears and focus on something besides work. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're going to have to decide just what route you're going to take to get from here to there -- and the decision must be made before you start out!

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- It may be harder than usual to coordinate productive activity, especially since it must involve those who don't always get along. Don't back down!

(April 5-April 19) -- What someone else does mustn't be allowed to reflect poorly on your decisions or behavior; you must be sure to maintain your autonomy at all times.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- What was meant as entertainment may actually become quite serious before the week is out, as you guide others through an emotional maze. (May 6-May 20) -- You know what you want and how you like it, but it may be difficult to explain to someone else just how important this is to you. Don't compromise!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're going to have to wait your turn this week, and the wait may be lengthy -- but you can use the time to prepare emotionally and mentally. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What you see going on around you this week may have you shaking your head in disbelief -- but only because you believe you could manage things so much better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your focus may wander as the week opens, causing you to fall behind -- perhaps significantly. Later you'll be back on track, surely. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You have what it takes to guide a great many others down a path that yields a variety of personal rewards -- but be sure to take what's yours in the end!

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!

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."

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have trouble arranging a schedule that works for all members of your family -- as well as friends. Try spreading things out!

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. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone who long ago vanished from sight is likely to resurface this week, and demand of you something that will complicate matters exponentially.
