(April 5-April 19) -- You may try to flout what you know to be inviolate "laws" this week -- to no avail, very likely. It's time to accept that you must do certain things in certain ways.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The conscious and the unconscious come into conflict this week, and you must choose between what you know and what you feel. Each is valid -- up to a point. (May 6-May 20) -- You can conquer your fears this week -- and invite others to do the same. What happens as a result will surprise you, and you'll likely find yourself in new territory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can sharpen both your mind and your instincts this week. A group of friends invites you to take part in something about which you have your doubts. (June 7-June 20) -- You may not feel confident about what lies ahead, but if you follow the course that you have in the past, you'll be able to accomplish the bare minimum with very little trouble.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You must not shirk responsibilities this week. Someone is eager for you to try something new, and you may if there's room in your schedule. (July 8-July 22) -- You know the difference between right and wrong, surely, and making a key decision this week will be as easy as that! You needn't bend to anyone else's will.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Prospects are bright this week, but you must accept the fact that only hard work combined with proper timing will allow you to enjoy what is available to you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your work lines up nicely this week with someone else's -- but it's not yet time, perhaps, to consider a partnership. That'll come later very likely, when you're ready.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Getting from here to there proves easier than expected in some ways -- and more difficult in others. Anticipation allows you to bypass certain obstacles. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- This is a good week to shower those you love with all manner of delights -- and you will surely enjoy them as much as anyone else. Be genuine -- and generous.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A friend shows concern but may not be specific about what he or she really fears. You know what's going on; talk about it. You will help everyone involved to shed a stubborn fear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You have a chance to look back and examine an error and, if you're really lucky, to fix it once and for all. Otherwise, its effects will surely linger. (Nov. 7-Nov. 21) -- You can make up for lost time this week and do what was left undone last week -- or the week before. The lesson must be learned: Nothing good comes from procrastinating.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You don't want to be wondering if you're going to make it to your destination on time this week; make preparations and get an early start!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be considering something that was off-limits in the past. What makes this week so different that you feel you can rewrite the rules? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's a good week to let a partner or assistant take on more responsibility. Being in charge doesn't mean doing it all by yourself -- it means delegating and promoting the team.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You have quite a distance to travel this week, and you are not as fully equipped as you are wont to be. Some compromises will have to be made, surely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- There is more than one route to explore this week, but you can't take them all at once. You must choose and determine what primary needs each serves. (March 6-March 20) -- A pattern of behavior reveals itself this week, and you will find yourself in the unenviable position of having to make changes "on the fly." Get help if you can!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are more interested in something that can last than something that excites your passions for only a short while. You may find a new path. (April 4-April 19) -- A quick look at what someone is doing will almost surely light up the path that you must take throughout the week. You may have to move slowly at the start.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're not able to deal with everything on your own, but this week if you prioritize, you will discover that some issues are not what you feared they were. (May 6-May 20) -- A demonstration of sorts has you wondering if you're not capable of doing much more than anticipated this week. Indeed, your creative energy is quite high at this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Someone close to you gets a promotion, and this has you thinking that there may be something for you as a result. You'll learn the truth this week. (June 7-June 20) -- That which you have neglected in the past will be impossible to ignore this week, so it's best that you put a certain tricky plan in motion before too many days go by.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- The unintentional has a major impact on both how you make your plans and how you implement them this week. Try not to be caught off guard all week long! (July 8-July 22) -- You're likely to benefit by your association with someone who is in the limelight. Never fear, you should be able to remain in the background -- at least for the time being.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Despite your ability to lend gravitas to almost any situation, this week you may benefit from being more lighthearted. Your sense of humor guides you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your usual level of excitement may not be enough to get others involved this week. It's time for you to use your considerable powers of persuasion! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may not be able to put your plans in motion this week without first sharing them with someone who has been in your position. His or her experience serves you well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may be able to sidestep a certain troubling issue this week, but that doesn't mean it's going to be out of your way for good. You can expect its return. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A few quick adjustments early in the week will make it possible for you to soar to new heights. A friend in need knows where to find you; make yourself available.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may receive a report that tells you something quite different from what you have recently learned on your own. Find out if you're correct! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Issues abound this week that require you to assess and reassess at regular intervals. You cannot afford to ignore what goes on beneath the surface. Seek justice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be able to maximize your own productivity this week by alternating jobs: First, part of one thing, then part of another, then back again, etc. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The demands you make this week may fall on deaf ears -- until you realize that you are not expressing yourself in a manner that encourages others to buy what you are selling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may find yourself in over your head before you know it this week, but with a good friend helping you, you can get to the surface and prevail, surely.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You will not be easy to convince this week, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to reason. By all means, be receptive even to conflicting opinions. (April 5-April 19) -- You can make things matter more for you and for your family members this week simply by standing your ground. Make it clear to a rival: You won't be displaced for any reason!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may begin the week in a position of vulnerability, but you'll be stronger as you complete certain tasks. It's a good week to make a pitch. (May 6-May 20) -- Trying to combine business and pleasure under one umbrella of experience may be ill-advised this week, especially since issues at work put you under a great deal of pressure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're likely to encounter an obstacle this week that pushes you to your physical and emotional limits. What you've recently learned serves you well.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll make a discovery this week that allows you to avoid the kinds of frustrations that others are met with almost daily. You can lead the way. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be looked upon as a kind of expert throughout much of the week, because of the circumstances that surround you. Contact with friends means more this week than usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be tempted to hide a certain truth from a friend or family member, but that can only make the situation worse. You can guide others calmly all week long. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have a choice this week: Ask for help and wait until it comes, or do what you can to help yourself sooner rather than later. You can give others valuable encouragement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may find yourself engaged in a conflict of wills toward midweek. You'll want to rely on logic to solve a problem others cannot. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is no time to say goodbye -- for any reason. You have the time you need to do what needs to be done -- and you'll receive strength and encouragement from those around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Ask yourself the big questions early in the week, and the answers are likely to provide more than just motivation. You can inspire others all week long. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You know where you have to go, and you know how to get there -- but you're not going to leave until you've persuaded those around you to accompany you. Critics abound.

This is largely because you have resigned yourself to a certain truth.
