ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Someone who has helped you in the past requires help from you this week. You'll be happy to do all you can as an expression of friendship and loyalty. (April 5-April 19) -- You don't have to step very far out of your comfort zone this week to deal with the kinds of issues that will arise. You are able to anticipate much quite accurately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll be able to cooperate very well with those who are not part of your team. You discover that you've made things difficult for yourself in the past. (May 6-May 20) -- What goes around comes around, but you may be able to position yourself so that nothing affects you negatively for very long. Know when something is good enough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll want to let your actions speak for you throughout much of the week. If you find yourself having to defend those actions, your position is weakened. (June 7-June 20) -- You may find yourself saying one thing but meaning -- or doing -- something else entirely. This is a kind of deception, and it mustn't be allowed to go on for long.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- There's a bit of a show-off in you, and this week you can surely demonstrate much that others will find entertaining, impressive and admirable. (July 8-July 22) -- Now is no time for shirking responsibility or passing the buck. Get to work early, and stay on the job until you've completed all assigned tasks. You'll be rewarded handsomely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Keep your eyes and ears open this week -- and your mouth closed until you are certain you know just what to say, and when. Your powers of observation are keen. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll win the results you have been hoping for this week, but not by doing the same familiar things. You'll have to try something new -- more than once, perhaps.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may feel that you are going round and round this week without getting anything done -- but in truth, you are waiting for another to make a key contribution. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're used to doing certain things in certain ways, but this week you may have to accept that another's methods are more effective than your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have trouble getting along with someone who is sharing the week's responsibilities with you. Is this a conflict of personality or outlook? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The more you read up on certain trends, the more likely you will be to position yourself advantageously. Information is constantly being updated; review it regularly!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Patience is more than a virtue this week; it's a necessity. You cannot force the major issues right now; you must allow them to develop organically. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can take advantage of a situation left to you by another, even though some think you have little to work with. Nothing could be further from the truth -- if you're creative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may not get the feedback you were hoping for when it comes to a job completed last week, but that mustn't dampen your enthusiasm for this week's efforts. (Dec. 8-Dec 21) -- You can work closely with someone whose methods are very different from your own, as your overall intentions are very much in sync. A surprise inspires you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- At the request of someone younger and less experienced than yourself, you will review past efforts this week and focus on the finer points of style. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Someone from afar is likely to have a good deal of advice for you this week -- and the more you follow, the more ahead of the game you'll be. Appearances matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may want to get creative this week and do things in a way that surprises those who are used to the way you work. You get a boost from a friend. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A tricky situation affects you far less than expected this week. Someone you know drops the ball, but you're able to keep things moving once you're back on track.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be quite surprised this week when your own experience proves a liability in a situation that develops very quickly. This is quite unfamiliar! (March 6-March 20) -- Domestic affairs reflect the tension you're feeling at the workplace. You must be willing to listen to family members when they share their feelings with you.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You don't want to be the cause of a stall of any kind this week, so stick to what you know best, and keep the wheels turning. Others are depending on you. (April 5-April 19) -- Things are changing all around you in subtle but inevitable ways. This shouldn't be a problem -- if you've been keeping up with trends. Get others to pitch in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The negative and the positive may seem all topsy-turvy this week, and it will be up to you to lead the way for those who are unable to do what is asked of them. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be introduced to a problem this week that you haven't anticipated. That doesn't mean that you can't deal with it in a positive, productive way, however!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be reminded this week of a task left undone quite a while ago. If you play your cards right, you should be able to pick up where you left off. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll want to explore options carefully this week. Don't refuse just because you're in the habit of doing so; you must consider the possibility that something new will suit you.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to answer many questions this week, but you still won't feel like an "expert," even though you know more facts and figures than others. (July 8-July 22) -- An old friend resurfaces after a long time out of the picture. He or she is eager to get you involved in something of which you may be suspicious. Give it a try!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You've been keeping your distance for long enough; this week, it's time to get up close and personal and do what you can to immerse yourself completely. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll receive many "hints" this week, but no outright instructions. You must combine instinct with a willingness to learn a new skill. All eyes are on you now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may not be able to meet all expectations this week, as you have private duties to tend to before doing what others have asked you to do. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be confused by the dreams you have this week; are they telling you what you should do, or what you shouldn't? Perhaps you needn't give them a thought!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have to endure an unexpected slowdown this week, but you can make it somewhat advantageous -- if you make use of any extra time you have. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may have to put your own affairs on a back burner this week as you tend to those of a friend or family member. You will be doing what no one else can right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may feel as though you have shortchanged yourself, but in truth, what is happening is merely a kind of warning that will have you making valuable changes. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Timing is the key to success this week; you will have to work on more than one thing at a time, perhaps, but if you watch the clock, you can maximize your productivity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're eager to take on the "impossible" this week -- despite any warnings you've received from those who have gone before. You can get it done! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You feel certain that you can do something this week that no one else has done -- and get it done on time and under budget. Where is this newfound confidence coming from?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Doing things the way you've planned may well amount to putting the cart before the horse; you'll want to rethink your strategy before you make a start. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Much that you face this week will be challenging in ways that you are comfortable with -- but you'll be expected to face one thing that is new and frightening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll want to search for bargains this week, no matter what you may be shopping for. Keeping spending to a minimum is only part of the solution. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Breaking the rules may be unavoidable this week, and you must be prepared to justify your actions. The official story may not jibe with your own version of events.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not be in the mood to face the very problems you had expected to tackle this week -- but that shouldn't keep you from doing what must be done! (March 6-March 20) -- You can provide yourself and a loved one with a little more excitement than usual this week -- but you both may wonder if you're biting off more than you can chew.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can stand witness for someone who is in quite a predicament. The course of the week is altered when you step out of your comfort zone. (April 5-April 19) -- Helping another through a difficult endeavor teaches you much about what is possible and what is not. This will be important knowledge to have as the week comes to a close.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may find yourself in more of a hurry this week than usual -- and the situation isn't likely to be a comfortable one. A friend steps in just in time. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll be able to contribute to a team effort in ways that no one may have expected -- except you, of course. You know quite well what you're capable of -- and how valuable it is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- A period of abundance may be coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you have to go without. Indeed, you can credit your cautious nature for your success. (June 7-June 20) -- You don't want others to have to muddle through without the knowledge you have -- but sharing it with them will take time and could slow you down.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your interaction with someone early in the week must not be allowed to color your entire outlook. You can get over one negative episode very quickly. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be able to score an impressive personal victory this week. Those around you want to know how you do it -- but it's not something you are ready to share.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be surprised to learn that you have much more in common with a rival than you had supposed. You can learn much from each other, if you allow it. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have to rethink your modus operandi for the week. What worked for you in the past may not yield the same results at this time. An expert opinion proves confusing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may want to be a little more diligent than usual this week when it comes to your own financial planning -- and that of a friend or loved one. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are best to make a "trial run" of sorts before betting everything on getting a job done that is new and unfamiliar. Someone meets you in the middle very soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The simplest of adjustments made as the week opens yields maximum reward later on. You must have everything running efficiently to receive maximum payout. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you don't lose touch with someone who has been in your orbit for some time. Communication doesn't have to be complicated, but you don't want to shut it down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Cooperation begins at an unexpected source, but it will allow you to achieve more this week than you had planned. Team-building proves quite rewarding. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're looking for firm answers, but they aren't likely to be available to you this week. This means, of course, that you're going to have to use guesswork much of the time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You should be able to cut through all kinds of bureaucratic red tape that has been slowing you down of late -- but some rules and regulations still apply. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to get back to where you belong, but the journey promises to be a long one. Undaunted, you can begin making preparations and perhaps get started very soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You cannot keep things from going wrong this week; it's going to happen -- even, perhaps, on your watch. But you don't have to react in expected ways. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Are you ready to implement the changes that you have arranged? Now is the time -- and if you procrastinate, you're likely to render the changes ineffectual overall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be the only one to notice that something you are a part of is not going according to plan. A quick adjustment can reverse any negative trends. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be the only one in a position to do what has to be done -- though it's not likely to be the most enjoyable of endeavors. You'll receive much thanks, however.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are expecting much this week -- perhaps too much. A realistic outlook keeps disappointment at bay and allows you to determine what must be done. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone who has been your "safety valve" in the past isn't able to protect you as expected this week. A reversal of roles has you doing more to ensure steady progress.
