ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may find yourself in danger on one or two occasions this week if you are unwilling to accept what someone tells you as the truth. Listen to reason. (April 5-April 19) -- You cannot have it both ways this week: Either you are able to guide others to their preferred destination or you're not -- but your agenda must come first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Information comes to you early in the week that may cause you to stop what you are doing and reconsider your motives and plans. Changes can be made. (May 6-May 20) -- Someone who was very helpful to you in the past may actually be standing in your way this week. Is this a natural part of an evolving relationship or a real problem?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll benefit from doing something right very early in the week. Later on, a mistake threatens to undo those gains -- but you can prevail. (June 7-June 20) -- Just when someone is ready and willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assign you an important job, you feel compelled to go elsewhere for your enjoyment and reward.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Investing in another's plans can serve you very well this week, as long as doing so is a part of a big picture that you are still in the process of painting. (July 8-July 22) -- You'll be proud of the work you do this week, but you must be willing to give credit to someone who was there by your side when you really needed his or her assistance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be waiting your turn throughout much of the week, but the time you have on your hands can be put to very good use. Someone touches you in a new way. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have to rearrange your schedule this week in order to accommodate someone's unexpected success. You'll want to walk in his or her shoes eventually, yes?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must be able to do what you say you will do this week, or you will find yourself risking a few important alliances. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't do anything to rub a superior the wrong way this week. You'll be depending on his or her good graces for your own progress -- and, perhaps, your eventual success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You must be ready to deal with a few dramatic surprises as the week begins, but later on, things should calm down and your affairs can take on a routine quality. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What someone tells you this week doesn't jibe with what you know to be the truth. Is this something that you must look into, or is it an accidental variation?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may resent the time you have to spend solving a certain problem, but once you have it out of the way, you should enjoy a clear path to your next destination. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- What you do this week will affect those around you in ways you cannot altogether anticipate, so you must tread lightly when you can. Don't assume everyone knows you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Others may be whining that they cannot do precisely what they want to do at all hours of the day and night -- but their inaction actually serves you well. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll be in complete agreement this week with someone who wants to take the "hard line" with those who are unwilling to follow through. Patience is at a low ebb.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can teach someone how to handle a few tricky situations entirely on his or her own. That means you're not needed anymore -- but that's a good thing! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find that you're doing things for others far more than for yourself this week. It's time to reestablish a healthy balance in that regard. Step back a bit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may not have submitted work on time, but if you get it done this week, you're not likely to be docked for lateness. It must be done, one way or the other! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The quality of your work is not likely to come into question this week, but some may wonder if you are doing it for the right reasons. Ask yourself that question.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't hide from yourself or from others this week. Step up and share your opinions, and you'll be rewarded for your unique and important insight. (March 6-March 20) -- You can work faster than most this week, but take care you don't leave those in your wake whom you should be carrying with you along the way. Loyalty is a key factor.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What you see or hear in the distance on at least three occasions this week will cause you to stop in your tracks and reassess your strategy. (April 5-April 19) -- A conflict arises at the workplace, but you should be able to steer clear and avoid any lasting effects. Take care, however, to remain within earshot when things go down.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may assume an unusually serious tone this week, but only a few will be confused by this. Others know just what you are responding to -- and why. (May 6-May 20) -- You are likely to gravitate toward one whose respect you would very much like to have -- and you can, surely, before the week is out. All it takes is one or two smart moves.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Someone may be critical of your stance on key issues, but all you have to do is wait until events transpire that support your opinions and beliefs. (June 7-June 20) -- Trying to get too much out of someone too quickly is a mistake you're likely to make more than once this week -- but then you'll recognize better ways to do business.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- It's a good week to study your own affairs more closely, as well as the affairs of a choice few whose lives intersect with yours. Real progress can be made. (July 8-July 22) -- Your involvement in a certain group endeavor will be appreciated, but you mustn't expect any tangible rewards -- at least not yet. You're in it for other reasons anyway.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You've been toying with certain ideas for quite a while, and this week you're likely to have your only opportunity to put them into action. Do it! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your insistence that certain rules be followed to the letter is more personal than professional this week. You may want to adopt a more flexible, tolerant stance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Someone's presence this week will serve as a constant reminder of something you've done -- and whether it was a success or failure is made clear by week's end. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your ties to home and family will be tested this week in a new way -- though your reliance on certain familiar sources of inner strength can surely pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be faced with news or information that doesn't jibe with anything you've been planning for this time. Changes must be made quickly and confidently. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A loved one reminds you of what you have at stake this week. You mustn't let anyone cross you as you attempt to resuscitate a plan that has been dormant for a while.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're going to have to follow the rules this week if you want to get anything done. There are certain steps you can take to make progress more efficient. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- It's a good week to observe the activities of those around you and assess just how they are connected to you. You mustn't assume that all will go as planned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- How you begin each new day this week will determine much. You will want to position yourself favorably when engaged in any sort of competition. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You will have to make your intentions known and your expectations clear this week if you expect others to fall into line and do what needs to be done. Speak up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll feel a certain pull throughout the week, and when you find out the source, you'll be surprised -- and more inclined to let yourself be pulled! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to get something over with this week, but you can't approach the problem from anything but the most organized place. You're going to have to play by the rules.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may feel as though you've made too many errors lately -- but that's merely your perception. You've done a lot of good -- and will do more this week! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- An emotional reaction to something that happens early in the week is likely to set the tone, and you'll have to work hard to reestablish your reputation as a thinker.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll have to put up with more than a few distractions this week, but once you identify the central issue, you'll be able to stay nicely on track. (March 6-March 20) -- Time spent waiting can be used to your advantage this week -- and it doesn't matter what you're waiting for. Putting another's needs before your own may be the best course.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to endure a slow start this week, but soon you'll be up to speed. You'll want to adopt a new plan that allows you to be more flexible, perhaps. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll find the silver lining eventually, but for a while this week you'll be lost in a fog of confusion and doubt. You mustn't take a critic's words too seriously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can keep things simple this week, even while others are tangled in a web of complexity. You know what has to be done; the central issue is clear to you. (May 6-May 20) -- An honest assessment of your recent performance will make all the difference this week. You're able to do more in less time than you have in quite a while.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Watch what others are doing this week, and see if you can keep pace. You needn't imitate anyone outright, but someone's overall method appeals to you. (June 7-June 20) -- Progress is made this week in easy stages, one step at a time. If you try to do too much at any one time, you're sure to make the kind of mistakes that cannot be unmade.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Options presented to you early in the week don't really speak to you, but later you'll experiment with something that seems to be right up your alley. (July 8-July 22) -- A childhood memory sticks with you this week -- and you can make it work for you in a good way or a bad. Seek the advice of one who has been there before; be open and honest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have to make some personal adjustments this week in order to make room for someone who was not already on the schedule. He or she is more than welcome! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Follow recommendations this week to get where you want to go on schedule. Do things your own way and you may get there faster -- or slower; it's up to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be able to get a head start this week, but you can expect the competition to be fierce, no matter where you are in the pack. You must do your best! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Someone provides you with information you can use to your advantage this week. When things work out in your favor, you'll want to reach out and show your gratitude.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have to do more for someone this week than you had originally planned, which means that one of your projects will have to wait a while. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can help others see things in a better light this week. Indeed, your positive attitude can be useful in all manner of situations and will give you a distinct advantage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Not all the tools that you need are available to you this week; you must be willing to improvise a little -- but your creativity can surely see you through. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Though the experts may be lined up against you at this time, you can stick to your guns because you know what you are capable of doing when the chips are down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A rival puts you to the test this week, and when all is said and done, you'll be a better person for all the challenges you will have had to face. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A loved one stops you in your tracks at some point this week -- and nothing is likely to be the same after that. He or she knows precisely what buttons to push, so be ready.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may not be able to call the shots as the week opens, but personal progress can be made -- and that will, in turn, open up unanticipated opportunities. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You don't have to strive to be the best overall this week, just the best that you can possibly be -- and that goal should be more clearly in sight with each passing day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- A mix of the personal and the professional makes things just a bit harder for you than anticipated this week, but a serious error is avoided. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to be sure that you're presenting yourself in the most positive light all week long. Some will be more critical of you than others -- but you can cope, certainly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A reminder comes to you early in the week and has you rethinking your plans for the following few days. You'll get back to business in little time, however. (March 6-March 20) -- You are at risk of taking things far too personally this week. You must be willing to let things roll off your back more easily. Don't get caught up in name-calling!
