ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Stick to the plan this week, and you'll surely arrive at your destination on time -- and perhaps under budget as well. A critic may raise important questions. (April 5-April 19) -- Confidence is on the rise at this time, but the faster you move forward, the more likely you will be to encounter resistance. Apply your intellect to a new problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Someone may be acting as though you cannot handle certain things on your own. This may be something worth talking about, whether or not it is true. (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to be considered "normal," but you also don't want to be just like everyone else. This dilemma is easily solved: Be yourself, and the week will be a success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Whether you find yourself in a supporting role or in the spotlight, your efforts will make the difference between success and failure. Others approve. (June 7-June 20) -- You've enjoyed an active phase marked by success in two or three separate areas of your daily life; this week, you make a discovery that accelerates your progress.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone tries to get in touch with you about an important personal issue, but you're not having any of it. This may soon prove to be an error. (July 8-July 22) -- You should be able to transition from something difficult to something much simpler with relative ease this week -- provided you've laid the groundwork and keep up your momentum.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be called upon to explain yourself on at least one, if not two, occasions this week. Don't get defensive! It's likely this is just a "formality." (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Just when you think you've done everything to promote a certain project, you'll realize that the most important step has yet to be completed. Get it done!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You mustn't try to force any changes this week; let them occur naturally, and they are sure to "stick." Others want to make things work just as you do. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can learn an important lesson this week, even as you increase your own enjoyment level. Not everything has to be painful, surely. Invite a friend to join you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your complaints about the way things have been going may have fallen on deaf ears, so this week you're the one who must make any necessary changes. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- It's a good week to revisit a past event in order to come to a new understanding of the importance it has right now. Your ability to make connections comes in very handy.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be called upon to investigate certain happenings that others do not understand. Are you willing to face certain fears? It's a necessary part of the job!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Just because you are ready to put a plan into motion doesn't mean you're the only one -- or that your plan is best. Others will want to shop around. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You've been following another's advice for quite some time now, with no appreciable results. Perhaps it's time to acknowledge that this isn't something you should keep doing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can share much that is special with others this week; the feeling you get from doing so will surely last as long as your generosity does. (March 6-March 20) -- You'll recognize in another a kindred spirit; this week, that means that you'll no longer have to do certain things entirely on your own. Collaborative efforts pay off for both.

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!

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.

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.

(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!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your week may seem to lurch forward at an inconsistent pace while you try to decide on something that affects you in ways that everyone recognizes. (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!

(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.
