ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll have to wait patiently for a few days for the sign you're looking for. Not everyone understands the importance to you of this particular week. (April 5-April 19) -- You must play by the rules this week if you expect to come out on top. No attempt to do things the "easy way" will come to good -- especially where love is concerned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can't afford to sit and wait for things you want to come to you; this week you must take a much more proactive stance. Competition should be fierce. (May 6-May 20) -- You can impress those in charge this week with the way you deal with unexpected developments. Indeed, the more surprising something is, the more useful it can be to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You won't have to try to attract attention this week, as you will almost certainly do so no matter what activities you are involved in. Mind your manners. (June 7-June 20) -- They say you can't really understand another person until you've walked a mile in their shoes -- and this week you'll have the chance to do just that, perhaps several times.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may doubt yourself on more than one occasion this week as you find yourself traveling down a strange road in unfamiliar territory. Trust your instincts! (July 8-July 7) -- You can afford to approach routine problems in a much more creative fashion than usual this week. Indeed, the more you challenge the status quo, the better for everyone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may find yourself revealing certain secrets this week even before you were ready to do so. You must be ready to act quickly when action is required. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- While a friend or partner is finalizing his or her plans, you will want to be working on your own so that you have an option when things go awry -- which they are likely to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You receive news early in the week that really makes a difference only to you as the week comes to a close. What happens in between can be baffling. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Someone you admire figures prominently in your dreams this week -- and, perhaps, in your daily life as well. This indicates a possible shift in your alliances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- That which is temporary is likely to be far more important right away than anything permanent that you've been dealing with for quite some time. Don't turn away! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll want to keep your eye on a rival this week, as he or she can teach you much about what not to do -- which should prove even more important to you than what to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The unconscious forces that are working both with you and against you must be recognized this week. You can't afford to move forward or backward blindly. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be faced with an obstacle that requires you to address one or two of your most basic fears this week. Your champion is ready to assist -- when you're ready to receive help.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- The same old routine must give way this week to something new and much more engaging and exciting. You must be ready to break a few old habits. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Exploration of something new this week provides you with more than enough reason to consider a major change. Both personal and professional issues demand attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The subtle and the not-so-subtle will be competing all week long for your undivided attention. Others introduce some of these issues. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself battling strong currents this week, but you can surely reach the shore if you understand that you may have to get wet in the process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The winds of change are blowing once again, but you shouldn't have to give up anything you've only recently adopted as your own. Dispense with an old habit. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The simple and straightforward are not to be underestimated this week. You needn't be tangled in a complicated web at any time; the road ahead should be clear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't shy away from those who are challenging you to be your best. Indeed, when all is said and done you'll thank them for being on your side! (March 6-March 20) -- The good and the bad are likely to be liberally mixed throughout the week, and the resulting cocktail of experience can be a joy and a headache, and quite educational.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- If the choice this week is between doing something all the way or only partway, you know what you have to do. You're not one for partial measures. (April 5-April 19) -- You have a plan that can make this a memorable week for all concerned -- if you are able to put it into motion quickly as the week opens. Don't hesitate!

(May 6-May 20) -- You'll be tempted to try an entirely new approach to a familiar problem this week. One friend has your back, while another warns you against being impulsive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It may be time for you to gather your forces and go after something that was taken from you a while back. The conflict that arises teaches you much. (June 7-June 20) -- You may not know exactly what you want, but you know that you want something very specific. This would be quite a conundrum if you weren't able to experiment so effectively.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A difference of opinion mustn't be allowed to come between you and a loved one when, after all, you're both working toward the same goal. Work together! (July 8-July 22) -- If it seems you are not being as effective as usual this week, you may want to explore certain new methods that are only now being made available to you. It's time for a change!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are dedicated and hardworking and hardly one to give up before you have done all you can to succeed at a given endeavor. What's different this week? (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You must remain open and communicative with friends, family members and loved ones this week as an attempt at something new takes you farther from home than expected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll have a choice to make toward midweek; what you do beforehand will prepare you, and what you do after will set the stage for a future endeavor. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Much that you do this week will have to go unnoticed at first -- and for a very good reason. When the time comes, you'll be recognized for your accomplishments, surely.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be unusually stubborn this week and less interested in someone else's progress than your own. A change of heart later on has you back on track where a friend is concerned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're sure to ask many questions this week, and there are those who are more than willing to provide answers. Work together to solve a problem. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- What you do this week can serve others quite well, even while you are tending to an important personal issue. You needn't be exclusive in your thinking or behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can do much this week in tandem with another, but you must expect a surprise encounter to throw a wrench in the works at some juncture. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Giving yourself to another in support of a good cause means that you'll be in line to receive something good yourself when the time is right. You must be open to all new eventualities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're eager to demonstrate your suitability for a certain job, but you may not be ready to take on the challenge of a lifestyle change just yet. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You are able to observe others in a manner that improves your attitude about your own work habits and overall behavior at home. You're considering making a complex change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- A game of show-and-tell early in the week makes you realize that you are lacking something that could prove valuable to you in many ways. Go after it! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may not be in the mood to do what you are required to do, but this week you'll have to bend to another's will more than once in order to arrange things to your liking.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're likely to run headlong into a new opportunity this week, and though you don't know what it may entail, you will recognize that it is, indeed, for you. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone close to you has a warning regarding an upcoming task -- but you may have the bit between your teeth and be unable to see the danger involved.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You know how to do many things, but when you come across something you don't know how to do, you must be willing to accept help. It's bound to happen this week. (April 5-April 19) -- You can work much more quickly this week than you have in the recent past, and you don't even need help to do so. You are in the minority this week as you go it alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You know that what someone else is telling you is sound and makes sense. Why can't you take his or her advice and follow his or her instructions? (May 6-May 20) -- You may be unusually intense throughout this busy week -- and that's saying something! Not everyone will be able to work with you successfully; keep those who can very close!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are not interested in doing the same old things -- but not everyone knows why. This week, you can make it clear to loved ones what's really going on. (June 7-June 20) -- It's time to trust those around you to do what is right. You can't do everything on your own the way you used to -- or perhaps you can, but it's certainly not the wise move.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your generosity will not go unnoticed -- or unrewarded -- this week. Do what you know how to do, and don't be put down by those who don't "believe." (July 8-July 22) -- A change of pace does you a world of good this week, and a change of venue is likely to result in a startling increase in productivity. You can get a lot done at this time!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be curious about something that others have been foretelling -- but you'll also have to deal with your own fears all week long. Can you conquer them? (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You've been waiting patiently for your turn for quite some time. This week, it should arrive -- but not at all in the manner you may have expected. Be ready to maneuver.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It may be time to look back to the past for a solution to a current -- or future -- problem. This week your friends will help you do what's right. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A new idea can propel you forward at an accelerated rate -- but you must be daring enough to put it into motion in the first place. Not everyone is likely to agree.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- It's time to settle down and let others do what they can to help you through a difficult situation. You've tried to do it all on your own long enough. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are sure to have a hard time of it this week if you insist on ignoring those around you and using what you know to be outdated tactics and strategies. Think twice!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll have to face certain hard facts before the week is out. Do you want to uncover them on your own, or have them thrown in your face? Don't be stubborn. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're likely to inspire someone close to you to do something you were never "brave" enough to try. You'll be proud when he or she is successful -- and a little sad, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What happens this week means that things aren't likely to be the same again -- ever. You have a choice: You can embrace the change or fight against it. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You know better than anyone else, don't you? The truth is you have much to learn -- and can learn it from someone who has your best interest at heart. Listen up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- It's time for you to face the fact that now is now and then is then -- and by tomorrow, even today will be lost forever. You must start thinking of the future. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself wishing that things were the way they used to be -- but you know that there's no "going back." Listen to a loved one, and move forward!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Do what you can to instill in others an appreciation for the things you like. If you are successful this week, you'll pave the way for much progress. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may not know it right away, but a friend or loved one has nothing up his or her sleeve; he or she only wants you to succeed and is willing to do all that is required.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are full of instructions and advice, but this week it is much more important for you to listen to what others have to say. You can learn a great deal! (March 6-March 20) -- You have only one thing to say to those who think it's too late: "Just watch!" You have something up your sleeve that can almost guarantee a resounding success this week.
