ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A decision is made this week that changes your course in a subtle, important way. You mustn't expect everyone to follow in your footsteps. (April 5-April 19) -- It may be time once again to reflect on how others see you. Something has happened recently that may have tarnished your reputation -- albeit slightly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to search high and low for something that you will ultimately discover hasn't been missing at all -- it's just been in an unlikely place nearby. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be disappointed by the progress you make this week, but it's more than your rivals have made. Still, a decision soon to be made can improve the situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Envy can only serve to eat at you, and this week you can't afford to indulge in any such negative feelings. Focus on what you have. (June 7-June 20) -- You can do something for yourself that others aren't willing or able to do. What happens then may surprise you -- and stick with you throughout the week and beyond.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may want to think about the way you've been doing things lately; it's time to begin forming new habits when it comes to connecting with a loved one. (July 8-July 22) -- You are perfectly aware of what really matters, and this week you'll have the chance to rebuild your priorities accordingly. A loved one is by your side through it all.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You receive information early in the week from someone in the know; what you are able to do with it may surprise you -- but the source will express satisfaction that you did as expected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It may seem counterintuitive, but the more subtle you are this week, the more likely you will be seen and heard -- and that's precisely what you want and need. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Routine fails you this week as you are expected to do that which is unusual, unexpected and perhaps somewhat dangerous. You'll be glad to get back to "normal."

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- It may be time for you to step in and fix a problem others cannot -- and you'll have only this week to get it done. Your biggest accomplishment comes early on. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be surprised by the force you are able to exert this week when it comes to bringing people together under a common banner. Maybe you can be victorious!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll be rewarded for stepping into someone else's shoes for a time this week -- but it's most important to know when it's time to withdraw once again. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can give your own style free, unrestricted expression this week. You'll not only enjoy it, but you'll be rewarded for it in one or two unusual ways.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Inaccuracy can prove harmful this week. You'll want to be sure that you have all the facts and that you remember names and faces. Do your homework. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You will have some room for experimentation this week, but there will come a point at which you must decide on something and stick with it. It's not all a free-for-all!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can make a major impact this week simply by being yourself. What you have to offer can increase in value with each passing day. Don't hold back. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You don't want to be accused of not paying attention, so keep your eyes and ears open all week long. What you learn can be put to good use soon.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Others have been looking to you for some kind of guidance, and this week you'll be able to give it. Take care, however, that you don't come off as intrusive or a "know-it-all."

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.
