ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You must not overdo it this week, lest you find yourself unable to face a certain challenge that you know is fast approaching. You must ready yourself. (April 5-April 19) -- A meeting of the minds has you wondering if everyone has gone off the deep end. This is the week that you can step up and begin to steer people in the right direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You must remember to do something for yourself at regular intervals this week, especially as your workload is increased as you reach out to help someone. (May 6-May 20) -- You should be able to finish more than one project this week -- and what else, really, do you have to do? There are ways in which you can shake up the current routine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's a good week to make plans -- even those that cannot yet be put into motion. Readiness counts for much at this time; you can show others how to prepare. (June 7-June 20) -- Changing circumstances may be hard to anticipate this week, but you're becoming quite adept at going with the flow. Someone challenges you to do things better.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not be directly involved in another's affairs, but you can still have an impact. When things go back to normal, this will prove a key development. (July 8-July 22) -- Are you racing to keep up, or are you trying to get ahead of the pack? The tactics may be identical, but the fact is that each requires a very different strategy this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can prove your worth in no uncertain terms this week. You are likely to embrace a plan that no one seems willing to go for -- yet. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Certain factors are not likely to change this week, so you must change accordingly in order to make the best of a situation that is not, by any means, ideal. Keep your head up!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can be more present than most this week, and that will allow you to take advantage of situations that others don't interpret as positive. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is no time to revert to the old ways of doing things. Handsome rewards come to those who are able to keep looking forward and moving in that direction this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may discover unexpected kindness in the face of one whom you considered an enemy as recently as last week. As externals change, so do you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll stumble upon a new opportunity this week, and though you may not be able to make it pay off just yet, the excitement of recognizing what is possible carries you forward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- This is a good week for you to reach out to someone who had assumed you were long gone. You've done what you must, and now you can reconnect. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Doubt is replaced by certainty, questions by answers this week. Still, you must address challenges one at a time. Give someone the chance that no one else is willing to provide.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A friend or loved one may misinterpret your intentions this week. You can make it clear that nothing about your feelings has changed in the slightest. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Success comes to you this week incrementally; you mustn't expect things to happen all at once. You may find yourself in a position of authority before the week is out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must be willing to follow the rules this week, if not for yourself, then for someone who is depending on your good judgment for his or her own safety. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can use the current situation very much to your advantage this week, though you must first be able to spot a "hidden" opportunity. You know what's expected of you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may find yourself wishing that things would go back to the way they were -- but is that even possible? Waste no more time yearning for the past. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Time spent on your own work allows you to maintain the status quo, but time spent helping with someone else's will give you the chance to forge a brighter future for both of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're likely to find that one benefit of doing things a certain way this week is that you will be saving money -- but when can you start spending again? (March 6-March 20) -- You'll find a great deal of meaning in little things that may not have mattered much in recent weeks. A loved one helps you shed outdated and unhealthy preconceived notions.

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.
