ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Much can be gained this week, but if you really want to maximize personal rewards, you must share your gains with those around you. (April 5-April 19) -- You are in no mood to engage in the same old tired endeavors this week. You have a plan to make things more exciting and more rewarding, and now is the time!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Enjoyment may be tempered this week by the feeling that things are, overall, far more important than they have been in the past. (May 6-May 20) -- What happens locally isn't to be mistaken for the important things that happen on a broader scale. You will want to pay attention to the more universal issues.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're going to want to keep someone at bay this week while you tend to affairs that he or she has no business taking part in. (June 7-June 20) -- You will want to get out and about this week, but take care that you don't make yourself too vulnerable to uncontrollable environmental influences.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- There's no place for dirty tricks this week; you'll want to keep everything on the up and up as best you can. (July 8-July 22) -- You have a journey ahead of you, but you mustn't be so eager to go that you neglect immediate concerns. Focus on the things that arise and must be addressed this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may prove quite a challenge to those who want to do things the right way this week because you're eager to win at all costs. Is this wise? (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have figured out a way to get around the rules this week, but that doesn't mean it's the best course to take. Consider possible repercussions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be tempted by someone who promises to lead you directly to what you most want -- but he or she represents a very real threat. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your influence is likely to be felt all week long as you attempt to maneuver around those who are trying to do things in a way that might be considered crooked.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You and a friend may have no choice this week but to communicate from afar. Play your cards right; you can move well ahead of the competition. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You don't want your reputation to be threatened by anyone's false perception of one of your recent triumphs. You can prove you won.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll have to work hard to keep your emotions in check; much that happens is likely to push your buttons. Keep reactions proportional. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Others will drift into your orbit all week long -- and out again, most likely -- because of what you provide that they find so emotionally powerful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll be interested in determining what is "normal" and what is not. At some point, your perception will be put to the test. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A disagreement must not be allowed to come between you and a friend this week. You must both do all you can to keep your passions from taking control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to be content with working in the shadows this week as someone else takes his or her place in the spotlight. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A war of words is likely to result from a conflict you find yourself engaged in merely because you were standing up for yourself and what you believe in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Both sides of an argument make sense to you, which means you must take great care to engage in a way that offends no one. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your participation in something that may or may not be approved by those in positions of authority may bring you a new kind of attention this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can fill a very big role this week, but you must recognize that you are simply doing what someone else may be able to do just as well. (March 6-March 20) -- Are you really influencing things in the manner you had hoped, or are you merely attracting a certain kind of attention to questionable activities?

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A "joke" that you don't think is funny propels you through the rest of the week; your reaction is all the fuel you really need. (April 5-April 19) -- You're being wildly misunderstood, perhaps. Someone's narrow view of what is possible may be standing in your way, but you must be willing to listen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to size people up very quickly this week before putting your feelings into words. Don't be too casual about it; you have a deadline. (May 6-May 20) -- You may not agree with someone's assessment of your recent efforts, but your job this week will be to provide most of what has been requested.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The difference between what is possible and what is appropriate is revealed to you this week. You needn't go back to square one. (June 7-June 20) -- You may wonder why others aren't eager for you to help this week -- until you realize that what you have to offer is beyond some of your teammates' understanding.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- It's a good week to grant others a little more freedom, especially when it comes to something that you would usually take care of yourself. (July 8-July 22) -- You will have little extra time to deliver the goods this week, so you must jump at any chance to get a little ahead of the game. You won't get stuck!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- What you bring to the table is undervalued, certainly, but by the end of the week it will have far more support than you have had in the past. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Try to see things from another's point of view, especially as you experiment together during the first few days of the week. Later, you reach a compromise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You cannot let physical ills keep you from fulfilling your part of a promise this week. Going back on your word can prove genuinely dangerous. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A congregation of like minds -- including yours -- can make a change this week that is felt by many for days to come. This is something that matters!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your explanation of something unintentional isn't likely to fly this week. You must be willing to tell the truth and face the music. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- How you react to a new development may perhaps shock others into action. Now is no time to sit still; you must be willing to air your objections!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- There are plenty of options available to you this week, despite the warnings from some that you have only one or two alternatives. Explore! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You must resist the very real temptation to dig in your heels and say "no" to any options proposed by those lining up against you. You must listen to reason!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- If you speak too soon this week, you may betray your own ignorance of a very important issue. Take the time to do your homework first. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can keep a serious situation from becoming a genuine emergency. You'll want to keep tabs on those close to you as this plays out and comes to an end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone may be pushing you to the breaking point, but you discover a way out of this difficult situation and feel liberated by week's end. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Whether you win or lose this week, you'll certainly walk away with a greater knowledge of yourself and what is really "right" for you at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- What you receive from others isn't likely to be what you expect this week. Still, you should be able to turn it into something of value. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You mustn't stand in anyone's way this week. Do what you can to help others and lend encouragement. Before the week is over, that favor will be reciprocated.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're likely to learn a great deal this week that allows you to punch through an obstacle that has been a longtime concern. (March 6-March 20) -- You've been receiving a great deal of advice and counsel of late, but this week you'll want to try to go it alone in order to gain confidence and self-sufficiency.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You must take the time to do what is right this week for yourself and for someone else in your inner circle. Are you on the right side? (April 5-April 19) -- Much of your week will be spent preparing for something that you must do later on, but that surely affects how you do things moment by moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll have a vested interest this week in someone else's progress and potential success. You know a good thing when you see one! (May 6-May 20) -- A loss of momentum is expected toward midweek, but then you'll be able to pick up the pace again and finish strong, challenging a major rival for the top spot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're not interested in dealing with anyone who does not follow the rules this week. You can't afford such trouble right now. (June 7-June 20) -- A complication may hold you back for a time this week; free yourself of it, and you can score more than one personal victory before the week is out.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to make something of a sacrifice this week in order to enable someone close to you to rise to a personal challenge. (July 8-July 22) -- Apply yourself to a particularly stubborn problem this week and you can certainly come to understand it better, if not solve it once and for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Are you paying too much attention to someone else when you should be focusing on your own affairs? Don't get distracted this week! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A professional option strikes you as odd when it is first presented to you. After further thought, you may be more than willing to see where it will lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You know what you need, and you know where you can get it. It's not that easy, however, and you must be patient throughout a long week. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You aren't likely to recognize a certain opportunity this week until it has almost passed you by, but it won't be too late to take advantage of it!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- A controversy arises this week after you and a rival try to do the same thing at the same time. Someone is going to have to yield. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may enjoy an enforced journey far more than expected this week. You learn much about yourself and about someone who insists on accompanying you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- How you react to a certain development says a great deal more about you this week than you may want to reveal, but you can undo any damage done. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You mustn't confuse quantity with quality this week. It's certainly easier to do more, but "better" is what's really required of you at this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll be eager to follow someone else's progress this week, as you had much to do with getting him or her to this point. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may have to put your own work aside for a time this week in order to assist someone who is in a far more vulnerable position than you are. You'll be rewarded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You know something about yourself that no one else knows, of course, but did you know that a loved one knows something you don't? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- An unusual strategy serves you very well this week, as you try to outmaneuver someone who is doing things in an unconventional way as well. It's quite a contest!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You benefit from a vision of the future that has you in control of your own destiny. You can do much this week to realize that vision! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You and a partner can come up with quite a plan this week, but take care you're not letting your excitement get the better of you. Are you being realistic?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll have a chance to step into a new role this week and win the praise of many who have been there before. Be ready to learn a lot! (March 6-March 20) -- You'll start the week in a rather ordinary way, but later on things take a very unusual turn as you strive for something really quite remarkable.
