TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Pay attention to all signs and indicators this week. Some may offer warnings that will likely seem old and familiar, but a new opportunity beckons. (May 6-May 20) -- Focus on what is going on within you this week. Internal rhythms, shifts and upsets will make themselves known only if you connect the dots between feeling and doing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Something you've been fearing would happen at any time is likely to happen this week, but it's not going to be as bad as you thought. Keep looking ahead. (June 7-June 20) -- Someone who has been trying to get you to reckon with the past will be disappointed this week as you dedicate yourself to the future in a new and exciting way.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Don't shy away from promoting your own agenda this week; success depends on attracting the right support from the right crowd in the right way. (July 8-July 22) -- Enthusiasm for a certain endeavor may be waning this week, but fortunately, there are many alternatives that hold you in thrall. One in particular offers profit.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A sheepish approach to a tricky situation is not recommended this week -- nor must you tolerate it from anyone. Now is the time for some bold, decisive action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll have more energy than expected this week -- but the trick will be picking just the right project in which to apply it. One or two stand out. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Inspiration comes to you this week in a very unusual form. Others may not see it or understand why you are doing what you are doing, but you have all the answers you need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Someone is likely to tell you that the possibilities are endless -- but you know better this week. Don't let someone make the decisions for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Productivity is the key to success this week, but it's likely to come in one or two unusual forms. Doing what you usually do isn't going to be enough. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You cannot afford to have your reputation tarnished by someone who doesn't even know what is at stake this week. You can and must be considered reliable by those in charge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You don't necessarily want to stay where you are this week, and yet the means to travel may not be readily available to you. A friend solves this problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll be inspired this week by the story of one who tried and failed. Careful study of his or her defeat will show you how you can be victorious very soon. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may want to make a habit this week of being up and working before anyone else in the household. Such attention to both time and duties will serve everyone well.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Pay little attention to what those around you are doing at this time, as they are not facing quite the same unusual circumstances as you are. Live your own life this week!

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your ability to see through all manner of falsehoods and deceptions is widely known, but take care this week you don't fall prey to one who is unusually wily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll learn something new this week that allows you to move forward with a much better outlook. You realize that yours is not a unique situation.

Progress may be slow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're more interested in what you can learn from direct contact with others this week than in what you can from any book -- but such contact may be in short supply. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Someone is looking out for you, but you mustn't make a big deal out of this fact. Trust that he or she is there, and go about your business; eyes front at all times!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- It's not like you to give up prematurely, but this week progresses in such a way that you are tempted to do just that. A friend helps you stay in the game.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You must slow down this week in order to navigate a tricky junction successfully. Someone who is on this journey with you is critical of your methods. (April 5-April 19) -- You can't let someone knock you off your plate simply by offering a different opinion; be strong and confident, and continue along your current course.

(July 8-July 22) -- A difference of opinion early in the week threatens to run your train right off the track at some point -- unless you can see your way clear to suggesting a compromise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Communication proves more difficult than expected this week as those methods that have been so reliable in the past fail you temporarily. Be creative. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have to make a choice this week between complaining about the situation you are in or working to change it from the inside out. Only one leaves you truly satisfied.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You know which way the wind blows, surely, but that doesn't mean you cannot indulge someone's whims this week. Don't lose sight of your destination. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're leaning toward a certain conclusion this week that may not be supported by the evidence. Before you commit, take the time to look at things from another angle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're getting to the heart of the matter, surely, but someone close to you is missing the point of your efforts. Do you have time to explain yourself clearly? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll be giving yourself a good deal of credit this week if you are able to continue along your current path without bending to suggestion or succumbing to distraction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Do you want to observe this week, or do you want to take part? There is a different reward to be had from each; it's a matter of timing, perhaps. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are not where you had hoped to be by now -- but is that really something to worry about? This week, you can make a great deal out of what seems to be nothing. Strike a bargain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're after something that is of great value only to you -- so it may be difficult to get another to share in your enthusiasm. This needn't be a problem! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- By week's end, you'll understand what they mean when they say "practice makes perfect" -- and that, in turn, will inspire you to seek an altogether new personal approach.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can exert a positive influence on others all week, even as someone exerts a similar influence on you. You needn't fear any hazards or obstacles. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Assumptions may be necessary as you get started this week, but, at some point, you must be willing and able to put them aside and deal in hard-and-fast realities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can expect much to happen this week, and you're likely to be at the center of a lot of it. When the pressure builds, a certain someone helps you cope. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to keep everything clearly in view and within arm's reach if at all possible. Lose sight of something valuable this week and you may never see it again.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't spend too much time thinking about what others are doing -- or how they are doing it. Certain trends, however, may prove valuable to you. (March 6-March 20) -- A message is lost on its way to you this week, and then it is found, lost again and finally delivered. You're able to put the information it contains to good use right away.
