CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You don't need anyone's permission to do the things that you know need to be done this week -- but encouragement is another story altogether!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You've had a great deal of positive energy of late, which others will be quick to adopt. Someone you know reveals a secret early in the week.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are far more interested in the details than the big picture, so you'll have to rely on someone to familiarize you with the lay of the land.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can avoid any serious dangers this week simply by sticking to what you know best. Stray outside of your comfort zone at your risk.
