TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have trouble making something work out just so this week, until the arrival of a certain someone makes it all possible. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll be cleaning up messes that you did not make, but you'll also earn the respect of those who did not know you had it in you. An opportunity beckons.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You've made some big plans without talking to anyone in the process -- and that's likely to lead to a disappointment later in the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Certain desires are coming to the surface at this time, making it difficult for you to stay on task. Give yourself certain personal deadlines.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll be expected to deliver the goods before the week is out, so you must be sure to position yourself for success before you even get started.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can show someone else the way to do something better than ever before, and in the process you may learn that you were not doing it correctly yourself!

(May 6-May 20) -- You may be troubled by something you cannot quite put your finger on, but later in the week you're likely to recognize that it was wholly of your making.
