ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A rather lengthy phase is coming to an end, and you'll begin to feel yourself rise slowly out of an emotional malaise. Something starts anew. (April 5-April 19) -- You cannot take on more than usual. You must be willing to share responsibilities -- and that means asking for help when you most need it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You mustn't keep thinking that asking for assistance is a sign of weakness; on the contrary, there is strength in collaboration. (May 6-May 20) -- Should anyone fail to come through as expected, you must still do what you have promised to do. It's important that you protect your reputation by fulfilling responsibilities.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Others will be eager to hear your opinion on a certain hot topic. Take care that you don't inadvertently give away any personal secrets!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Others may accuse you of fraternizing with the enemy, but the fact is that you can learn a great deal by talking openly with your rivals. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It's time for you to consider a change -- at home or at work. Simply doing one thing differently can alter your entire worldview and increase productivity.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be surprised to learn that someone has already done what many have assumed could not be done. This inspires you to put a plan in motion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have to travel farther than expected to lay your hands on that which is rightfully yours. Why was it missing in the first place?

You cannot pretend that you are not under stress, but you can channel your energy more productively.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The lessons you've learned can be applied to almost all endeavors this week -- and others will likely learn from you, in turn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your style will be much admired and oft imitated by others this week -- but is it enough to get things done?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can't allow yourself to be interrupted or countermanded; stick to your guns and keep doing what you know is right. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The advice of someone who has tallied more victories than you can certainly come in handy this week -- but you mustn't ignore your keen instincts!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're eager to jump in and help someone in need, but there may be rules and regulations that prevent you from doing all you can. (Jan 7-Jan. 19) -- You can combine the modern and the old-fashioned in a way that is uniquely yours -- and others will surely appreciate your efforts and your aesthetic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You cannot avoid the emotional component of certain issues this week, so be ready to dive into the deep end with little warning. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your efforts can prove valuable, but how much more will you be able to accomplish if you let go of your private desires and work closely with others?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may find yourself in a position of some power, and the best thing you can do with it is command attention and provide guidance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to channel the old you in order to complete a task that must be completed before the week is out. Not everyone is pleased. (May 6-May 20) -- What you want may be out of reach as the week opens, but if you're willing to make certain sacrifices, you can claim it by week's end.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're trying to build something that will last, but a rival threatens to get in the way. You must deal with this before moving forward.
