ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What in the past proved a liability is likely this week to be an advantage, but only because you are able to maneuver in just the right ways. (April 5-April 19) -- The unavoidable is just that, so you will want to address it as soon as you can this week. Once that duty is done, you should be free to do as much as you please.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You mustn't turn away from those who are coming to you for help. You never know when you'll need what they can supply at some later date. Think ahead! (May 6-May 20) -- You're tempted to do the very thing that you know will get you into hot water -- but why? This week, you may discover something about yourself that you don't necessarily like.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- How you begin the week will make all the difference -- but you may be tempted to "give in" prematurely. Be strong, stay the course and succeed! (June 7-June 20) -- You may look upon someone differently this week who has been by your side for the duration. Now is a good time to explore the possibilities when you include him or her even more.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can work with uncertainty this week; it's outright negativity that you cannot abide. You must be willing to address such a problem head-on. (July 8-July 22) -- There will be plenty of signs and signals to observe and interpret this week. Are you willing to face a situation that requires you to strip yourself of anything artificial?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may find that someone's help is really no help at all -- at least to begin with. After you work together, some improvements can be made. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Things are changing quite rapidly all around you this week, and you may feel as though there is little you can do in response. This is an error, and you must get moving now!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Something that has been perfectly enjoyable in the past may prove rather difficult this week -- and your surprise will be evident in your continued reaction. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You receive inspiration from the most unusual sources this week. Your own performance when under pressure will prove an inspiration to others, in turn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll come to terms with a recent disappointment this week, and that will allow you to move ahead with something that has a much greater chance of success. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Two very distinct phases are likely to overlap this week -- or even, perhaps, collide outright. You must take the time to sort through all key personal issues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may feel as though you are being sabotaged by one who wants what you have -- but isn't this really a case of your own insecurity standing in your way? (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll understand more than most just exactly what you need right now -- though it may be hard to come by. Others are in the same boat, and perhaps you can collaborate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be expecting things to slow down because of external forces beyond your control, but you can keep the pace crackling through sheer force of will. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to settle back into an old familiar routine this week, but that simple pleasure may be denied you by someone who affects you in more ways than one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have the chance to relive a past glory -- but in order to do so fully, you may also have to suffer through a repeat of a recent disappointment. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The week progresses very much according to plan -- that is, if you have a plan! It's of utmost importance that you consider all possibilities as you plot your next moves.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You have set your sights on something that simply may not be available to you this week. You can make adjustments and enjoy what you are able to do. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to demonstrate to others what it is you are really capable of accomplishing -- and while this may not be a good week to do that, it's a good week to plan for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may find that what you have to say resonates with others on a much more significant level than at any time in the past. Your audience is likely to grow. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have trouble communicating with those who know you best -- and that's why, no doubt. They are able to see through any insecurities, so you must be strong!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can arrange to have someone suspend the rules for you this week, provided you can prove that your way of doing things is really the "right" way. (April 5-April 19) -- A long conversation yields only so much information this week, but you must be willing to engage at every point. Too much is at stake right now for you to opt out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may choose to reveal a secret at a certain time this week because you are confident you'll win support by doing so. What actually happens may surprise you. (May 6-May 20) -- You're going to want to study what happens very carefully this week, as you don't want to be one of those who misinterprets events by taking things too personally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may discover that a promise made some time ago cannot be fulfilled this week if you keep things going in the same direction. A change can be made. (June 7-June 20) -- You can turn a disadvantage to your advantage today by making fun out of something that others consider far too serious for your taste. A friend helps line things up.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone you know makes a decision that affects you each and every day this week -- but in ways that surprise you. You must be flexible at all times. (July 8-July 22) -- Travel may be affected this week by events that take place far from your point of departure. It's your destination you must think about: Will a change of plans be necessary?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A memory proves inspiring as the week opens, but you may not be able to repeat yourself as you had hoped. Not everyone is operating on your wavelength. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to take things far more seriously this week than you had anticipated. Some key developments require you to do things in certain ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Those who are by your side this week will play roles of increasing importance. A decision you make early on will have long-term repercussions. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may disagree with the way things are being handled on an official level, but there's little you can do as a result. You're going to have to accept the way things are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You know the rules, but you're not sure they are best for you right now. You may choose to do things your own way and deal with the fallout at a later date. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A separation of sorts is to be expected this week. You can do much to keep a certain challenge from getting out of control -- but quick action early on is the key.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may find yourself surrounded by those who do not want to support your agenda. You have decisions to make -- and you must make them as quickly as possible. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Much is happening at this time, and you may find yourself at the center of the storm. The first decision you make this week is likely to be the most important and lasting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A great many demands will be made upon you this week, but you -- and only you, perhaps -- are in a position to address them productively at every turn. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You will want to reach out this week to someone who seems to know, at every turn, what you're going to do next. This is something you'll want to explore as fully as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are willing to take the liberal view of most things this week, but there's something on which you're not willing to compromise at all. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- How you assess another's performance this week will reveal a great deal about you -- and you'll be able to use the information in a way that serves you well for quite some time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be the only person you know who can reduce the overall stress level this week. It will take more than attitude; you must do all the "right" things. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Any attempt to pass the buck this week is likely to backfire on you, requiring you to do much more than you had been assigned to begin with. Play by the rules!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- An old friend provides you with just the right perspective this week. From now on you'll see things in a way that allows you to avoid personal traps. (March 6-March 20) -- You're facing a situation that you had hoped to avoid altogether. As you deal with it head-on, you'll realize that it's something you've brought upon yourself in some way.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can make a firm, wholehearted commitment to a cause promoted by someone this week, and your involvement will almost guarantee success. (April 5-April 19) -- Someone who has been on your mind for quite a while now may actually get in touch with you quite by surprise -- and this is more than a coincidence. Be willing to open up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're likely to receive information early in the week that is of little use to you, for by the time it "matures" you'll be off on another quest. (May 6-May 20) -- You may clash with a family member who has not kept up with your learning process. What you know will serve you well all week long -- while he or she falls behind the curve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll want to be fully prepared for what you think is coming this week; you must devote yourself to the hunting, gathering and laying in of supplies. (June 7-June 22) -- You needn't stick to the formula this week; feel free to improvise. What you discover by doing things your way is that you are perfectly capable of doing them on your own!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A showdown of sorts may be expected this week, and when all is said and done, you'll want to find yourself on the winning side. Study signs carefully. (July 8-July 22) -- While those around you are reacting to things that may simply be illusory, you can deal in hard-and-fast realities that will ultimately affect everyone you know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You see what's coming, or at least think you do. In either case, you may not have the opportunity this week to share what you know in a way that is useful. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You needn't play the role of "babysitter" this week to those who are unwilling to care for themselves in a mature fashion -- but those who are unable could use your assistance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Things take on a sudden aspect this week, and you'll feel as though you are being storm-tossed. Emotions may run quite high as you face a certain challenge. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're eager to put a new theory to the test this week, and all will go as planned if you include a certain someone in your efforts. Your vision is quite clear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You should be able to root out those who are being in any way hypocritical this week -- but you may remain uncertain about what you should do about them. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Travel plans may have to change this week, but you can still get where you want to go -- though perhaps in a most unconventional manner. You don't have to break the rules.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may choose to mount your own investigation of certain events this week after the "official" account doesn't satisfy your need to know. Get it started! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can make a valuable contribution to a group effort this week without sacrificing any of what makes you unique. Your autonomy will not be threatened by collaboration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You must keep the lines of communication open this week, especially when the usual means of getting in touch are unavailable to you. Get creative! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may have to dig deep into your bag of tricks to come up with an effective way of answering someone's challenge. Are you willing to make the sacrifice this requires?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may feel that you can provide the antidote to anyone who feels that he or she "doesn't belong" -- and indeed, you can prove a good new friend to many. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's a good week to insist on only the best -- from yourself and your allies. Now is no time to settle for anything less, as there is much at stake -- and you want to win!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The support you will be seeking this week should be near at hand, but you're going to have to reveal something about yourself in order to secure it. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- That which you call your own may actually be someone else's when the week draws to a close -- unless you are willing to do something extraordinary to keep it from changing hands.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Keeping track of all that happens this week will prove more difficult than usual, and you will want to make use of some unusual tools in order to do it. (March 6-March 20) -- You may require a little financial help this week in order to see your plans take off. You must ask for what you need -- but don't ask for more than that just now.
