ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You and a Cancer native are likely to share certain responsibilities this week. Both theoretical and practical adjustments must be made. (April 5-April 19) -- You're likely to receive a report at the beginning of the week that warrants changes later on -- but it's still important to take things one at a time. Don't be hasty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may find yourself grappling with a personal issue that no one else can help you with this week -- though a friend may have raised it in the first place. (May 6-May 20) -- Peripheral concerns from the recent past make their way to the center of your awareness this week. You may be invited to partake in something that poses a new challenge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can recover rather quickly from a shock to the system this week, but an underlying issue is not so easily tackled. You'll have to do some real soul-searching. (June 7-June 20) -- You're eager to start something new this week, and you can take a leaf out of your own book as you take the first and most important steps. Others are eager, too!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be forced to choose sides in a situation that really hasn't required any previous commitment from you one way or another. You can avoid a fight. (July 8-July 22) -- The issues at play this week require close examination before you are thrust into the fray. You must insist on taking the time to learn all you need to know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Now is no time to believe the gossipmongers. You must deal in facts this week, and study only empirical evidence as you form any new opinions. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A little role-playing can serve you quite well this week, and you may find that you are far more suited to one certain principal part than another. Ensemble work pays off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your principles are well-founded, but you may be shaken this week by events that affect others more directly than yourself. Sensitivity is running high. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may have to go to some extra effort this week to succeed at something that, only last week, might well have been too easy for you. Something big is happening.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can put a new plan into motion today -- but take care that you don't ask too much of too many right out of the gate. Your responsibilities multiply. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You feel that you cannot get moving this week unless someone else satisfies your basic needs -- but this is an erroneous assumption. Most things begin and end with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You mustn't be frustrated if someone tells you things more than once. By week's end, you'll be very glad that you received multiple reminders. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are in danger of dropping the ball this week after being the one to implement a dramatic change in protocol. A loved one keeps you on track until you take up the baton.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Something important to everyone around you begins and ends with you this week. You mustn't think, however, that others are not to contribute. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll get something started that proves exciting to those who choose to join in your efforts. Not everyone, however, trusts that you know what you're doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You reach a high point of sorts this week and want to live there a bit and enjoy what comes to you as a result. This can't last indefinitely! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What is said and heard will prove quite important all week long, and it may fall to you to keep everything organized and information available to those who need it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You've done all the research you need to do and contributed all you can to a developing project. This week, you must wait for some firm results. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You cannot avoid environmental influences this week. Whether it means changing your plans or clothes, you'll have to make adjustments based on more than the weather.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're approaching a key junction of sorts this week, and whether you go right or left, or continue along your current path, important things happen. (March 6-March 20) -- Others may think that your work has been good enough, if not "exemplary" -- but you know that you're capable of doing more and of being far more efficient.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Mistakes made this week can be unmade very quickly -- though there may be some vestigial reminder that you'll have to deal with from now on. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll enjoy an increased level of trust between yourself, friends and your family members this week. A single concession results in a major step forward for all.

TAURUS (April 2-May 5) -- Emotional currents may be much easier to navigate this week than you had feared. It's likely that everyone will know what you're trying to accomplish. (May 6-May 20) -- You're likely to go through something you'll remember for quite some time -- but that can be advantageous as you work to extend its overall effects and learn by doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll receive many reminders all week long, but those that you leave for yourself -- in notes around the house or workplace -- will be the most important. (June 7-June 20) -- Your interest in what someone is doing may be a sign that you are not as invested in your own affairs this week as you might be. Is this cause for real concern?

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not be able to support an ally's decisions this week -- until he or she is willing to include you in a few episodes to which you can add great value. (July 8-July 22) -- You must take care this week that in helping another with a major issue you don't make it about you. You have enough to deal with without being the center of that world!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You must not miss any appointments or meetings this week. If you must address a certain formidable problem, do so only after concocting a possible solution. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You've made solid plans, but they're not likely to pan out as anticipated this week. Surprises come in lumps, two or three at a time, and demand immediate, focused attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- What you don't like you don't have to do this week -- but you may have to make one or two small concessions as you answer a certain professional challenge. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Adjustments to your schedule should prove relatively painless this week -- but if you find yourself with extra time on your hands, you'll want to fill it very quickly!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your ability to see both sides of a key issue will serve you well once again this week. Not everyone will agree with your final assessment, however. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You must be willing to take in more information than usual this week as you address certain challenges and chart a course down an unfamiliar path. Friends fill in the blanks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can provide an alibi of sorts for someone who is eager to extricate himself or herself from an uncomfortable situation. Is this going to cost you? (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll want to consider all possible outcomes as you make a new plan. There are some variables you will not be able to control, so be prepared to improvise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're likely to face at least one difficult situation this week; if it is in the professional arena, you're surely equipped to handle it. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Your mindset isn't really all that suitable for the situation you are likely to face this week. You can surely make necessary adjustments -- but perhaps only just in time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You will want to avoid making any decision you cannot unmake until you are sure that everyone is on board and agrees with your overall strategy. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're likely to do everything according to plan this week, and yet you may still encounter a few surprises that require you to make adjustments on the fly. Be flexible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your memory of a past event may not match that of someone who was there. You mustn't be stubborn! It's likely that he or she is right, and you are wrong. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your week will be affected in part by a decision made early on that you aren't even aware you're making. Later on, you'll understand just how important it really was.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're likely to figure out a way to make things much easier for yourself and others this week. If it catches on, you may enjoy unexpected rewards. (March 6-March 20) -- You can address one or two deep-seated concerns this week -- and the timing is right for working to overcome one or two major fears as well. Get cracking!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your prospects are looking up, and this week a partnership with an unlikely someone will benefit you both quite well. A prize waits to be won. (April 5-April 19) -- Attempts to be clever may fall flat today, as what you think is smart or funny may not translate to others. It's best, right now, to play as much as you can very straight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You must take care that the information you both receive and send out this week is accurate and updated. Anything obsolete can prove dangerous. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll be figuring things out very quickly all week long. This process is sure to lead you to a discovery that can prove quite profitable to you -- almost immediately, in fact.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have your doubts about what someone is up to this week -- until you realize that his or her motives are similar to your own. Join forces! (June 7-June 20) -- You'll take action this week that attracts a great deal of critical attention -- but you can weather this storm and come out on top. Soon, many will follow in your footsteps.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- There's plenty for you to do today, but you may not be enthusiastic about much of it -- at first. Later, you'll come into your own and enjoy the work. (July 8-July 22) -- You'll benefit from a change of scenery this week. Many are relying on you, but all you have to do is what comes naturally. You feel things very deeply at this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Things seem to be improving on the home front, but you'll have trouble quantifying certain advances -- especially where a younger family member is concerned. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It may fall to you to look after someone who is nearing a crossroads of sorts. He or she is not afraid of any danger that may arise -- but you can do much to help avoid it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A surprise at home affects you everywhere you go this week -- until you speak up and express your feelings openly and honestly to all concerned. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can do things the "official" way this week, or you can cut through any and all red tape by mounting your own investigation. The latter choice yields more information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The time you may spend with a friend or loved one will prove truly valuable to you this week -- and it is worth putting routine duties on a back burner. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may have to mount some kind of intervention this week in order to keep a friend from doing what you know could lead to financial disaster. You know what's coming.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll want to spend much of the week trying to figure out your next move -- but that may be decided for you by events that you cannot directly control. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You will have to put aside any fears you may have about certain activities this week because you may have to charge into something scary that requires a firm commitment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll have to decide to compromise -- or not to compromise -- before the week is out. Weigh all pros and cons, and get the advice of an expert. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll have the chance to clear your name of any wrongdoing this week. Others will come to your aid -- but only if you ask for help directly. Don't be secretive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone you know recommends a certain course highly, and someone else warns you against it. You must make this decision on your own based on clear evidence. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll have the option to simplify things a great deal this week -- though you may be tempted to keep things as they are. You know, deep down, what course you should take.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to calibrate your thinking in certain ways in order to see things as they really are. Experience has colored your perspective. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The more you commit yourself to someone's agenda, the more you'll understand about your own -- which, right now, is not of paramount importance. Your generosity shines.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Self-promotion will take many forms this week, and you must take care that you don't cross the line into overstatement or outright deception. (March 6-March 20) -- What you remember from days past, as far as your work is concerned, will fuel you as you tend to affairs that arise as this week progresses. You combine "then" and "now" very well!
