ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What have you been doing for yourself lately? This week, concentrate on you, and let others fend for themselves for a while. (April 5-April 19) -- You can afford to do more than you have planned this week, but time is the real issue. You must be sure to schedule things with tremendous care and stick to that schedule faithfully.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You've been harboring doubts, surely, but this week you can put them aside and focus on those things you know you can do. Momentum builds dramatically. (May 6-May 20) -- You've been very careful not to overstep your bounds of late, but this week a temptation compels you to go further than usual. Personal dynamics change in a surprising way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're toying with a notion that could, if it pans out, increase your profits tremendously -- but is it something you'll be able to do on your own? (June 7-June 20) -- You are considering doing something in a more aggressive way than usual, but you must be sure that those around you are ready to take on more responsibility with you.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Things are likely to seem rather clear-cut to you as the week opens, and you may find that methods employed some time ago are once again effective. (July 8-July 22) -- You are eager to do some traveling -- but not just for the fun of it. There is something you have to do, and this week's planning can make it all the more possible very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You mustn't be premature in your assessment of a certain situation this week. Let things progress a bit further before tallying gains and losses. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to change your focus this week from something that has brought you little or no profit to that which holds great potential for lasting gains. Get to it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- News comes to you from all over this week, and not all of it is as bad as expected. Indeed, reports from afar suggest that you'll soon enjoy a victory. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Are you able to communicate clearly and effectively with all those with whom you come in contact this week? If not, you'll have to settle for a supporting role.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Questions of status will arise again and again, and you may be forced to compare yourself with someone you've thought incomparable. This is a good thing! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not be able to do things all at once this week, as certain interruptions will more than once require you to shift your focus to issues on the home front.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You've been waging a battle in secret for quite some time, and this week things are likely to go public in a way that gives you a distinct advantage. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may have to work harder than others to achieve the same goals this week. Waste no time questioning the fairness of the situation; any letup threatens personal gains.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Others ask of you more than you've been able to give in the past, but this week you're feeling stronger and more capable than you have in a long time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Repetition yields results this week, no matter how frustrating it may be to go over the same ground again and again. You can lead others to new territory as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are inspired this week by those who do not take "no" for an answer. Why do you not live by the same philosophy, at least for a while? Give it a try! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You could use a little boredom in your life -- of the right kind, anyway -- and this week you can have it if you schedule the completion of your most important duties early on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The choices you have this week may be strictly limited, but that never stopped you before. Others marvel at how much you can do with comparatively little. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- With each passing day this week, you'll come just a little closer to doing that which you had assumed was "above your pay grade." That's not all that's changed, surely!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Compare your motives to another's and you'll realize that they are virtually beyond reproach -- at least under current, unshakable conditions. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone has your number and is beginning to take advantage of you -- but you have a plan that can set things right in little time once you put it into motion this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Focus on the details this week. You'll be able to make things happen even when others are confounded by circumstances beyond their control. (May 6-May 20) -- Friends and family at great distances at this time can still provide you with the inspiration and encouragement you need. You have every reason to keep communication lines open.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- If you find yourself in unfamiliar territory this week, you will find comfort in knowing others are in the same situation. Why not seek them out? (June 7-June 20) -- The more you are willing to try this week, the more you will find what works for you. You are able to convince those around you of the righteousness of your cause.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your routine serves you well this week, though you must find the time to make one or two new plans with a partner who has had enough of the way things are. (July 8-July 22) -- You can lay the groundwork for something quite important, though you may not know just when you'll be able to build upon that foundation. You're in a kind of limbo.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You aren't likely to solve the week's problems by thinking about them in a linear fashion; you must be willing to go where your instincts lead you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A little improvisation can soon amount to much that you'll be able to celebrate when the time comes. For now, however, you'll want to rely on a more conservative approach.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Err on the side of caution this week, and encourage those around you to do the same. The time will come, and soon perhaps, when you can finally cut loose. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are made to realize just what you've been overlooking recently. A friend makes clear that he or she simply can't hang on any longer with things the way they are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Those in charge may challenge you to do more than you had bargained for -- and who's to benefit, ultimately? Be sure you're not shortchanging yourself. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll have to rely on a few new methods this week even as you try to do that which borrows much from the past. The new and the old combine in unusual ways at this time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll want to study any and all forecasts with great care this week -- including this one -- so that you aren't left out in the cold in a time of trouble. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Many have what you want, but they're not likely to share with you -- at least not yet. You're going to have to work on a new way to include yourself in their circle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Doing what you are told this week is likely the only way you can avoid a setback that could prove quite damaging to your overall master plan. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A shock early in the week has you doing things in a new way -- and including others in ways that you had not imagined as recently as a few days ago. Collaborate!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are pulled this way and that this week by those who offer contradictory information. You must stabilize yourself until you know what's going on. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You encounter those who are dead set against anything that seems to be in line with the way things are supposed to go. Is it time to join forces with such rebels?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The earlier you get in on what is happening, the better equipped you'll be to make changes when changes are required. You want to be at the center of things. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Those who know you well may find your commitment to an unusual cause admirable -- but few will be willing to join you in your efforts. Don't be discouraged.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are doing everything you can to keep chaos at bay at this time, but there are those who will be working against you simply for the fun of it. Be ready.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A casual discussion early in the week may have you considering an unusual option with far more seriousness than you have in the past. A change is required. (April 5-April 19) -- You may feel that you are suffering from something that is uniquely your own and unknown to others -- but this week you discover your situation is shared by many.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You are likely to find yourself playing the role of teacher on more than one occasion this week -- and in every instance you'll be learning at the same time. (May 6-May 20) -- You must accept certain facts that you've not been able to face up until now. Your willingness to adjust at this time is in part due to a friend's generosity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- An obstacle appears only a short time before you encounter it this week, but even that brief warning should be enough to enable you to overcome it. (June 7-June 20) -- Complications must not be made worse by overreacting or guessing about what may have caused them. Work the problem, and don't be distracted by peripheral issues.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your ability to prioritize will be put to the test this week. It's important for you to separate your wants from your needs and to act accordingly. (July 8-July 22) -- Your problems may be quite small this week, but they also may come to you in bundles at a time -- and that can make things more troubling than they need to be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A daunting problem is alleviated this week through a process that allows you to learn what you need to know when you need to know it. How fortuitous! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to reach out to someone in charge this week and work out a schedule that you can stick to faithfully. He or she is waiting to help solve your problems.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may recognize much of yourself in another's work and realize that he or she is inspired by you. Why not try building a lasting collaboration? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The positive and the negative are competing for your attention this week, but you have a trick up your sleeve that allows you to circumvent certain stubborn negatives.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Relationships are in the spotlight this week; you may be unable to progress in the professional arena without working on a few key friendships. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can learn much from someone you've mentored in the past. Yes, the teacher is once again the student -- but it's a position you've learned to appreciate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- What you thought was the least of your worries may become a major concern before you know it this week -- and all because you underestimated it to begin with. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You have many options this week, but they are hidden beneath a mound of illusory suppositions and concerns. It's time for you to deal with things as they really are!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- An unexpected discovery this week means that you're now a member of a very select club -- and this can prove an advantage if you play your cards right. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Information you receive from someone who is in a similar situation proves both encouraging and discouraging -- but how you use it will make all the difference at this time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Your natural state this week will be one of care and caution -- but on at least one occasion you may be tempted to adopt a devil-may-care approach. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What goes around doesn't always come around -- and this week you're likely to find that you have escaped a certain retribution of sorts that you thought would be unavoidable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may stumble upon a possible solution to a problem this week -- but is it really something you are able to take advantage of at this time? (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The information you receive about a highly personal issue may at last begin to yield some fruit. Your progress in this area is noticed by family members and friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be under someone's influence this week as you make one or two big decisions that don't sound like you at all. Is this a permanent thing? (March 6-March 20) -- Adjustments you make to your routine this week are likely to have a surprising effect on those around you. This, in turn, will influence what you do in the following days.
