ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be unable to change things to suit your mood or satisfy your desires, but that's no reason to give up on them entirely. Be patient! (April 5-April 19) -- You are presented with more than one situation that allows you to see yourself very much as others see you -- and that isn't as surprising as it sounds.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Now is no time to leave a job undone. You must see things through to the end -- or risk damaging your reputation. Friends can help you. (May 6-May 20) -- You're more than willing to take up the slack for someone who cannot be in two places at once -- but don't expect any extraordinary reward for your service.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find it frustrating to deal with those whom you consider more shallow than yourself. Perhaps you're just not seeing eye-to-eye. (June 7-June 20) -- You can afford to be more patient with others, surely -- but it's more important that you strive to be patient with yourself. Be realistic!

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may be eager for protection, but in fact it's protection you can offer to someone else. Don't let anyone tell you that you are too vulnerable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- There are those who will tell you that there is nothing to learn from a certain situation, but you know that is far from the truth. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You recognize in another what you aspire to have, or to be. Keep watching, for you'll learn a few important lessons that you can put to good use immediately.

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You want to see yourself in the position that another now holds, but what are you willing to do to win it? Trial and error is the name of the game.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Home is where the heart is, and you're eager to be reunited with someone who gives your days meaning. Someone you know may be guilty of a betrayal.

(March 6-March 20) -- You may suffer inexplicably from flop sweat -- until you start listening to a partner who tells you exactly what you need to hear.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Trying to do everything at once ensures that nothing will get done this week. Try to break things down to their most basic components. (April 5-April 19) -- You don't want to conceal the information that everyone needs this week; rather, share it openly and you'll promote well-being along a broad front.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A difference of opinion can actually be a good thing this week, as parties work to make room for both points of view. Set an example! (July 8-July 22) -- You may not understand what a rival is up to, but you know well enough to stay out of his or her way this week -- unless you are eager for a fight you cannot win.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You find yourself on a path you never expected to travel. A friend offers a word of warning, but you may not appreciate his or her unique perspective -- yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Something you've believed for some time proves to be nothing but a sham, but tell the truth: Have you really been hurt?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You stumble upon a new way of doing something this week, and it's likely to catch on quickly. Progress can be made across the board. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You cannot always keep your emotions in check, of course, but you can keep them from getting the better of you. Balance is the key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your ability to work well with almost anyone is on full display -- until you recognize that someone is not likely to be cooperative. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your week is likely built around a single objective; make sure that you have given yourself enough time to do all that needs to be done!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Someone may misinterpret your words or actions this week, raising tensions at home or at the workplace. Take the time to explain yourself. (March 6-March 20) -- You needn't resent someone else for simply doing what comes naturally. Perhaps you are not doing all that should be done in this situation.

(April 5-April 19) -- You're going to have to dabble in politics this week in order to see one of your favorite issues come to the fore. You friends won't abandon you.

(May 6-May 20) -- You don't want to do anything this week that works against someone to whom you have pledged loyalty. Assess your plans before putting them in motion.

(June 7-June 20) -- Someone will try to get in touch with you early in the week, but you may want to keep that to yourself, as not everyone will interpret this correctly.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be facing something you thought was unimaginable, but now it's real enough and urging you forward. You can do what needs to be done. (July 8-July 22) -- Take a moment to assess your situation -- not once, not twice, but at regular intervals during the week. You must be at the top of your game.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be facing a problem this week that stems from bandwidth; you have the knowhow, but perhaps not the resources or the manpower. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- The stars shine brightly on you this week as you attempt something you've long been planning. Your confidence and willingness to evolve serve you well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You are seeking support for a project that is just getting off the ground. What comes your way defies expectation, but you can work with it.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are ready to deal with routine problems, but not with those that seem to arise out of the blue. Expect the unexpected, and you'll react to it effectively.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are working with some very good ideas, but you may be unaware of the challenges you face as you move forward. Heed warnings. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Danger that is brought into your inner circle unintentionally is more serious than anything you might expect to encounter. Be ready to adjust accordingly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Others are waiting on you to get things started this week, but you may be afraid of acting in a manner that could put everyone behind the eight-ball. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A situation arises that requires you to be at your tactful best. You cannot afford to rub anyone the wrong way just now -- especially those in charge.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your motives may come under fire this week from those who do not understand, as you do, that intentions are fluid and flexible. Don't get trapped!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- What you don't understand can work against you this week; you must strive to see everything under a broad umbrella of comprehension.
