ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can learn much this week that will help you move ahead according to plan, but take care that you don't get too "heady" for your own good. (April 5-April 19) -- The more you do this week the more you'll learn, and the more you learn the more you will be able to do -- though timing comes into play as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You know what you are up to, and others around you may not understand just how much they are a part of your current efforts. A team takes shape. (May 6-May 20) -- You may find yourself getting caught up in a great deal of nostalgia throughout the week. The memory of one dear old friend has you counting your blessings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You will be facing numerous opportunities this week, but only one may pay off as handsomely as you might hope. You'll want to experiment.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're facing one or two significant problems, certainly, but they're not the kind to trip you up for long -- nor are they impenetrable! (July 8-July 22) -- What you reveal to others early in the week is likely to come back to give you extra strength when you need it later on. You can solve a difficult situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Just as you are coming to the end of one phase, another begins -- whether you are ready or not. This week your plans must not be inflexible.

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You don't want to find yourself at cross-purposes with someone who has been a trusted ally in the past. Be honest about what you are up to this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- How you communicate this week is just as important as what you say; you can improve your methodology as each day passes. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not be aware of what is going on around you during the first part of the week, but later on you'll recognize the importance of knowing what others are doing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Now is no time to pull your punches; you'll want to be honest, direct and forthright at all times -- and each moment can be pivotal to you. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- An opportunity you only recently turned away from isn't likely to go away any time soon -- so you'll have more than one chance this week to explore its potential.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You cannot avoid taking certain risks this week, but you can certainly keep others from making the same kinds of mistakes as you do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be facing a problem that requires you to seek unfamiliar solutions. Once you dive into something new you can come up with good answers. (March 6-March 20) -- Take care that you don't misinterpret someone else's comments as criticisms or complaints. He or she is merely trying to raise the bar, as you are, too!
