ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Worries arise by the bushelful this week, but nothing is so problematic that it cannot be dealt with in stride. No long-term challenges should arise. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll want to be sure that everything is humming along as planned this week -- which means you may have to step aside and view things from a distance on one or two occasions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Try as you might this week, you're not likely to make as strong a start each day as you had hoped. You require some assistance to get up to speed. (May 6-May 20) -- Early means early this week -- and you must be willing to get moving before anyone else has a chance to beat you to the punch. Anticipation and maneuverability count for much.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll receive help when you least expect it this week. What follows is sure to surprise you even more, as someone from your past steps into an important role. (June 7-June 20) -- Fantasy and reality are likely to converge in a most unexpected way today, and you'll be challenged by one who thinks you should toe the line. Rules can be bent -- a little.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A neighbor figures more prominently than usual on at least two or three occasions this week. You'll want to explore what more can come of this. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be carrying anger from last week into this one, and the expected result is that you get in your own way because you are not able to think quickly or fluidly. Let it all go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Someone exciting is waiting for you around the next corner, but you're not able to get there as quickly as possible, perhaps. Be patient; let it come to you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You've been keeping a secret that may have to be revealed before this week comes to a close. You might endanger others if you fight to keep it under wraps any longer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll be exploring all kinds of superlatives this week -- the "greatest," the "longest," the "shortest," etc. Where do you fall in the scheme of things? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It's time to put aside one project in favor of another that promises a greater payoff in the end. This week, trying to double up can only bring about complications.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not be able to cooperate with another as planned this week unless both of you are willing to compromise -- and you're going to have to make the first move. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not have heard from the powers that be about what responsibilities will fall to you in the near future, but that shouldn't stop you from preparing this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may not have the luxury of seeing things progress without getting in the trenches and getting your hands dirty. Direct involvement will be required. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Someone may have the upper hand as the week opens, but later on, you'll be able to level the playing field and challenge his or her seeming superiority.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may mislay something that you desperately need with you all week long -- but you mustn't take up too much time searching for it. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- It's a good week for you to shine a light on someone else's issues. He or she will be grateful for any and all assistance -- and you'll learn a thing or two.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Objective thinking will allow you to assess your own performance better than usual -- and this, in turn, will enable you to up your game considerably. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Collaboration may be difficult to arrange this week, but once you have your team together, there should be little to prevent you from achieving both individual and collective goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You are going to have to be at your persuasive best this week if you're going to get a certain someone to jump on the bandwagon and follow your lead. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- It's the right time to make certain demands of another, but take care that you don't cross the line and overdo it. Think things through before making your desires known.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have to work closely this week with someone you've seen as a rival or enemy in the past. Right now, however, an odd alliance is easily formed. (March 6-March 20) -- Frustration arises this week when someone doesn't want to play by your rules. Is that so surprising? If you're not willing to compromise, difficulties will follow.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are waiting for the official word about something that, when it comes, will give you much more personal freedom than you've enjoyed recently. (April 5-April 19) -- It's time for you to stop telling yourself -- and others -- that you're going to do something, and instead just do it! This week, he who acts first will be the winner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A surprise reunion has you making some unusual plans this week. Take care, however, that you don't let your excitement override your natural caution. (May 6-May 20) -- You may have trouble making plans for the week because someone doesn't seem to be playing by your rules. Is this really something that matters to you right now?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have trouble picking just the right words to convey a certain message -- but it's more urgent than you think, and you cannot afford to be too careful. (June 7-June 20) -- Shop around this week and you'll surely find exactly what you are looking for -- and likely at a price you can afford. There is more on the line this week than anticipated.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your understanding of a certain key situation is likely to be shaken somewhat this week as events transpire that challenge your notion of right and wrong. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be worried about someone who has fallen out of touch -- but he or she is closer than you think. Now is a very good time to reaffirm your genuine connection.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- If you let stress get the better of you this week, you're likely to sacrifice much that you've been working for lately -- and you may never get it back. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It's a very good week to learn to compartmentalize your emotions if you can -- and to prioritize so you don't react equally to influences that are themselves unequal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It's up to you this week whether you can -- or will -- get from here to there on schedule. How you interpret signs and signals will make all the difference. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may not understand the reasons someone is giving for his or her current behavior, but you have no reason yourself to object -- and you can offer help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The mental and the emotional must not be allowed to affect you physically this week. You must keep yourself balanced and well-tuned to changing circumstances. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- No one is going to give you what you want this week unless you make it very clear what it is -- and why it's so important to you. That means you must speak up!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The turmoil you face this week is likely of your own making -- at least in large part. That means, of course, that you can fix it -- if you are willing. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- News from an old friend makes it seem like you're right back where you started -- but that can be a very good thing as you try to chart a smooth, steady course.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may feel quite disconnected this week from the people who mean the most to you. Reach out and make contact -- if only for a short time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You find solace in activities that allow you to get in touch with your own principles and beliefs. It's been far too long since you looked inward for the answers you seek.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can expect a reunion this week to give you all you anticipate -- and more. By week's end, you'll likely be fired up about a whole bundle of new plans. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll have time this week to study your connection to something you do not fully understand -- yet. Soon you'll realize just how much you have at stake.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have trouble putting the pieces of a puzzle in the right places this week -- but you mustn't assume this is any more important than it is! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- With a little help from the outside, you can solve a mystery that is really nobody's business but your own. You can trust the right people to assist you in all the right ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't balk at the right thing because the cost is high. This week, you must be willing to do what is right for yourself, regardless of the expense. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone close to you is in need of some "expert" assistance at this time -- but in the meantime, you may be able to give valuable advice that can be useful immediately.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You've been making plans without getting someone's input -- and this week that approach may backfire on you. You must solicit ideas from all participants. (April 5-April 19) -- You are in the mood this week for something a little more adventurous than what the status quo is likely going to offer. A friend points the way -- but dare you follow?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be thinking that things are resolved, but certain issues are sure to linger this week, requiring you to change your plans to accommodate others. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be tempted to play coy this week, but anything that may seem even a little insincere isn't likely to go over well. You must make your wishes and boundaries known.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Someone is likely to give you a very good reason to stay put this week, when you were on the verge of moving out for quite a while. This is a surprise. (June 7-June 20) -- A friend reaches out early in the week, and in order to be there when you are needed, you must be willing to put a major effort on a back burner. It'll wait, certainly.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You aren't likely to be lonely this week, as there are many who will be drawn into your orbit because of your unique ability to speak their language. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be developing unrealistic expectations at this time. Trust a friend to show you the error in your thinking, and to steer you in the right direction just in time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be expected to present ideas early in the week that you can be confident will come to life in only a day or two. It's time to make things happen! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can power yourself through this week without much rest -- but when the time comes, you're going to have to take care of yourself, and that will mean turning down some invitations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Hard work gets you what you want this week -- except the recognition that is, above all, what you most desire. It will come -- but not when you expect it to. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A memory has you shifting gears and doing something very much against the grain this week -- but no criticism will bother you, as you know you're onto something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Keep your eyes squarely on the prize this week, and it can be yours. A loved one expresses doubt at first, but will be proud of you come the weekend. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your interpretation of the facts separates you from the crowd this week. Something happens that lets others know you mean business and are in it for keeps.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You've been flirting with what others would call "disaster" for some time, but you're in your element this week, working against common wisdom. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Avoid delays of any kind this week -- especially where your health or the health of a loved one may be concerned. You don't want to miss out on any chance to improve your well-being.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You don't want to make any changes to a plan that is working out to your satisfaction. Someone may stand against you, but you're doing well! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A memory serves to enliven you early in the week, and with the snap of your fingers, you can set the tone for the days to come. Confidence needn't come off as cockiness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must make sure that things are being addressed in the right order this week -- and that you're in the right mindset to do so. Don't be squeamish. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Just when you thought you were in for more of the same thing this week, someone comes to you with an opportunity to effect a major change. Who are you to resist?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may not be able to move forward this week without first getting the input of someone who followed a similar path in the past. Continuity is everything. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be getting need and desire confused as you deal with a complex emotional issue, but throughout the week you'll uncover several clues to this intricate mystery.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- The more you reveal, the more vulnerable you will be this week -- but that may be just fine with you, as you urge others to follow in your footsteps. (March 6-March 20) -- You cannot expect to receive unanimous support this week, as the ideas you are proposing are rather unorthodox. Some might even say you are unhinged!
