ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The sooner you recognize what must be done this week, the sooner you will be on the job. Others are depending on you to clear the way. (April 5-April 19) -- You may not realize, at first, just what others are expecting of you this week, but that shoe is likely to drop just in time. You can accomplish a lot.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You will have one or two things to answer for when the week comes to a close, surely, but until then you can do things your way. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be compelled to differ dramatically this week from your usual routine. Some affairs demand that you take things less personally -- and some perhaps more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You have done much to hold up your end of a questionable bargain. This week, things happen in a way that may free you from further obligation. (June 7-June 20) -- The more you try to force something into place this week the more you are likely to render it useless in the end. Try adopting a gentler approach.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone may sense that you are trying to manipulate him or her this week -- and this is because you are not performing up to your usual level. (July 8-July 22) -- It's a good week to let someone else take the lead for a while. An important lesson can be learned if you step aside and closely watch what happens.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can put a plan into motion this week. Give another a chance to answer you in kind when the time comes. Not all expectations are fulfilled.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're likely seeing things very differently from the way a partner sees them, and this can result in a temporary slowdown. Both views are valid! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be forced to change your mind about something that has, for some time, been the foundation of your beliefs. The evidence is clear.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll be introduced to something that is irresistible to you this week. Does that mean it's something you'll want to pursue further? Quite possibly!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll receive instructions early in the week that you find you are unable to follow later on. Don't make changes in secret. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A conflict arises between you and someone who is proving more stubborn about a personal issue than expected. You're going to have to give way just a little.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Despite playing a supporting role, you can surely be recognized for your contribution. You are responsible for many positive developments this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The dangers that arise this week can be addressed directly by you and others with whom you share much. Some issues will demand discretion. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your safety this week depends in large part on your ability to trust that someone else knows what to do in case of "emergency." Can you let go?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- An unusual choice comes your way during the first part of the week; don't make the mistake of thinking the fallout will be only temporary!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can increase the creative element in your work this week and satisfy the craving you have for something new. Options are many. (April 5-April 19) -- You may want to "shadow" someone who is taking the lead this week and learn as much as you can about what's possible before taking any personal risk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's a good week to make plans of a kind that are usually only found in dreams. That which was not possible last week is possible now. (June 7-June 20) -- You know how to do what needs to be done, but you mustn't think that there are no expectations to fulfill. You must do things in certain ways.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You've been making things more difficult than they have to be, perhaps, and others have taken notice. This week you can reverse the trend.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have much to gain this week, but you run the risk of losing it all if you continue to be so self-absorbed. Spread the wealth!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Progress is best made this week in short, easy stages. Try to do too much all at once and you're sure to fall short; you can't afford to fail. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You must organize your thoughts in a logical, precise manner throughout the week -- and as you do so you must also consider an emotional burden you bear.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're willing to make a certain sacrifice for others this week, but only if they are willing to make a few simple concessions to you. Make your expectations clear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You are ready and eager to get what's coming to you this week, but take care that you don't ask for too much too soon. Don't overreach!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are knee-deep in something that you may not be able to resolve by week's end -- but that needn't keep you from making personal gains. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Priorities are shifting, and one or two new desires come to the surface this week and take you by surprise. You cannot have everything all at once!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- A loved one is waiting patiently for you to come clean about something you've been hiding for far too long. You'll be forgiven, surely! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A deadline looms, and you must be willing to set aside something you enjoy doing and focus on that which cannot wait any longer. New rules are in place.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You recognize what is possible this week, but that doesn't guarantee success. You must be willing to step up and do what others are perhaps unwilling to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A certain situation is not of your making, but it will be up to you to address it throughout the week. Others depend on you. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not be interested in what others are doing this week, but you cannot get around the fact that their actions affect what is possible for you.

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.

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.

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. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- News from afar has you wishing you were closer to those who are most important to you. You can begin to make travel arrangements; put plans into motion!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may feel that you are being kept in the dark intentionally, but the fact is that you have more awareness of current trends than you know. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to keep pace with a friend or loved one every step of the way this week. He or she holds the key to something you've been trying to sort out.

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!
