ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be trying to hide certain issues from those around you, but in fact, only by sharing them will you be able to deal with them effectively. (April 5-April 19) -- Communication with allies and rivals will prove essential this week, and even one message gone astray can make it impossible for you to progress as you have planned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may begin the week feeling overloaded and behind, but all you have to do is make a start, and the wind will once again fill your sails. (May 6-May 20) -- A hardship endured in the past needn't affect you now -- unless you let it. This is a good week to say farewell to all issues you feel are no longer relevant to your situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not be able to go from here to there this week, but by staying put, you'll be able to get much more done than you had originally planned. (June 7-June 20) -- The traditional is all the more attractive to you this week because you cannot indulge in it -- for reasons beyond your control. Like it or not, it's a brave new world.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Take in what goes on around you this week, and judge it objectively. This kind of thinking will prepare you for something that is quickly coming your way. (July 8-July 22) -- You may find yourself in a much more positive mood this week than you had anticipated -- and this allows you to accept more responsibility than usual. Allies flock to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Though you are not eager to face the situations that promise to unfold before you this week, you have no other choice -- and a strong stance will serve you well. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't ignore those in need this week, especially when they are revealed to be friends and loved ones. You may choose to put your issues on a back burner for now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Whom do you trust? That question must be answered this week before you swing into action to solve a community problem. After all, you cannot do it alone. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be called upon to address a situation that threatens to get out of hand and pull a certain alliance apart at the seams. You know just what to do -- so by all means, do it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- An idea will seem to "jell" this week as you work on other matters. There will almost certainly come a time when you simply must explore it more fully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You must be prepared to deal with conflicting emotions this week -- your own and those of a loved one. You cannot kick certain cans down the road!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Issues of power and its use will prevail throughout the week. Just as you have a lesson to teach someone, there is one you can learn as well. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Fantasy and reality compete for dominance within your mind throughout much of the week. The winner will determine what is possible for you -- now and in the near future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll surely encounter hardship this week if you refuse to acknowledge certain circumstances beyond your control. You must be realistic! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You don't have to tell someone what to do to ensure they do all they can. All you have to do is suggest what might lie in store and offer moral support.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have thought that a certain activity was complete, but in fact, you must try to sustain your efforts at a high level all week long. (March 6-March 20) -- You know just what is being asked of you, but you may not be able to meet another's expectations just yet. Buy a little more time; you'll soon do all you can, and more.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The counsel you give to others can do you some good as well this week -- if you are able to listen to yourself. You mustn't think you have all the answers.

(June 7-June 20) -- You mustn't think that you are unbeatable this week, for such complacency will surely work against you. Take the time to learn more about your No. 1 rival.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be concerned about resources this week -- and rightly so. Do what you can to conserve, even as you collect more of what you currently need. (July 8-July 22) -- Doing things your way certainly sounds good, but is it really going to bring you the results you seek? The truth is that an equal collaboration can pay off best.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have to revisit an old conflict this week in order to prepare yourself to ward off a new threat. Someone who has been there before offers guidance. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have a certain habit that can pay off handsomely this week -- if you indulge in it at just the right times. One potential error scares you more than any other.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be tempted to double down on that which was clearly stated last week -- but that doesn't mean it's right. Find and correct your errors! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is not the time for you to throw caution to the wind, especially where your finances are concerned. You'll need all the cash reserves available!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 7) -- You may feel as though someone is working hard to keep you from a goal you both share, but that may be only an illusion. The difficulty is likely self-made.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- A look back into the recent past scares you into a renewed commitment. You must make sure you don't repeat the mistakes that got you where you are now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Your approach to the week's difficulties will attract a good deal of attention from those who seem to be in the dark. Your way can work well for many. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll find yourself playing a brand-new role this week, and it's not one in which you would normally cast yourself, surely. The surprises come quickly and are numerous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Focus on the central issue this week; peripheral concerns will likely take care of themselves. You mustn't be distracted by another's worries. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may find it impossible to progress as planned this week until you rid yourself of a burden you didn't even know you were carrying. A friend gives timely assistance.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Do you really have your own best interests at heart this week, or are you trying to fulfill someone's expectations that are not true to you? (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to deal with more than one emergency this week, but, fortunately, they are not likely to be upon you at the same time. You should have time to regroup.

(May 6-May 20) -- Issues of status are unavoidable this week. You can evade conflict by refusing to engage with anyone else in a contest of ego. You know what really matters, after all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Choices come to you in unusual ways this week. When you begin to see just what is waiting for you around the next corner, decisions must be made more quickly. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be feeling too far removed from a certain situation to have any positive impact on what is done -- or why -- but this is not the case. Let your voice be heard!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can afford to do a little more for yourself this week than you have in the recent past -- but take care you don't come off as being overindulgent.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have to put aside work you enjoy so you can complete a job that you don't -- but this is nothing new. You know how to prioritize in this way and get work done.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are almost certainly standing in your own way this week if you insist on looking at things through such a personal lens. A businesslike approach is most definitely advised.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The smaller the details, the more important they will prove to be; anything that you can see and differentiate must be given full attention this week. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're going to need more than moral support this week; money figures prominently, and what you don't have, you're going to have to acquire -- and quickly, too. Avoid hesitation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You cannot do all that is required of you this week if you continue to carry certain personal baggage with you wherever you go. Jettison it now!
