ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can please others this week far more easily than you can please yourself -- but that's no great surprise. You are almost always your toughest critic. (April 5-April 19) -- You will surely be affected this week by events you cannot control. Do what you can to maintain contact with someone who claims to be in charge of things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Put others first this week, and you'll please them as well as yourself -- but be sure you don't overlook yourself entirely. Take your turn when it comes! (May 6-May 20) -- A situation develops this week that puts you in a most favorable position -- especially where a member of the opposite sex is concerned. Things go faster than expected.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are attracted to much that others shun, and that works to your advantage this week, as you will have little competition when things get complicated. (June 7-June 20) -- You can provide another with only so much information because you have only so much to work with yourself. As the days pass, more bits and pieces trickle in.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You are eager to explore all possibilities this week, especially where a creative project is concerned. Pay no attention to one who says "no" repeatedly. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be having trouble changing the rules, even though you are following all accepted means and methods. There's something going on you don't know about; explore freely!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You don't have to slow down for anyone this week; keep the pace up, and put the pressure on a competitor who has been just steps ahead of you for some time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you really want is nobody's business -- yet. Soon, however -- and likely this week -- you'll have to share your desires with those who can help you satisfy them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The curtain rises on something you've long been preparing, but not everyone is eager to watch you do what comes so naturally. This is a problem to be solved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- If you're expecting a trouble-free week, you're sure to be disappointed, but unlike most others, you can turn troubles into advantages with a wave of a hand. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Just because something is possible doesn't mean it will happen this week. You must be willing to put in the work required if you're going to be truly satisfied.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You've been watching things from a distance for much too long. This week you can take full advantage of a surprise opportunity if you get to work quickly! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can learn many lessons this week and teach even more to those in need. Someone you've recently taken under your wing proves frustrating -- and inspiring, too!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- The more familiar a road is this week, the more attention you must pay. You cannot afford to be complacent at this time! Show another how it's done. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can start something with little trouble this week, but you'd better be sure it's what you want, because you'll likely have terrible trouble getting it to stop.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can show someone just how much he or she means to you this week by providing something that only the two of you value. The relationship is likely to change as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to hide a few details from someone investigating your activities this week -- not because of anything illicit, but to protect your reputation. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- One ongoing project is likely to become far more important this week than you had ever dreamed -- but this is, in fact, exactly what you need. There's no stopping you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- One phase ends as another one begins this week -- and your creative endeavors will enable you to tell the world that you're here to stay!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A creative idea is born this week, and you may be startled by the connection it has with your current affairs. You didn't think there was anything there!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You don't want to overlook the basics this week, nor can you afford to have anyone working with you do the same. Stress the importance of an overall review.

(June 7-June 20) -- Your ties to what has gone before will prove stronger this week than ever before. You can learn a great deal about yourself through the eyes of a newfound ancestor.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can enjoy a trip down memory lane this week, but take care that you aren't led astray by someone who is secretly working against your own best interests. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have trouble trying to arrange things to suit your schedule this week, so accommodations will have to be made on your end. You have a chance to correct an error.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll have some trouble putting your best foot forward this week because you're not sure what's expected of you in a certain tricky situation. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can provide a friend or loved one with just the kind of support you may require in the future. This will almost guarantee you'll get what you need when you need it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Someone with whom you've been closely associated in the past hits you with some news that you could never have expected, and the week takes a curious turn. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're going to have to repeat yourself -- again and again, perhaps -- in order to be completely understood. This week will require you to step out of your comfort zone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- One way or another, you are determined to reach your destination this week -- ahead of schedule. This means you may have to sever certain ties. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A collaboration yields unexpected fruit. What you expect to hear from a superior takes an unusual form and means more to you -- and less -- than you might have anticipated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 21-Nov. 7) -- It will be far more important this week to teach by example, and you don't want to be the one criticized for breaking the rules or bucking the system. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your approach to a certain problem must be deeper than usual this week if you're going to benefit from a potential revelation. You'll be disappointed if you stick to the shallows.

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You are determined to make your voice heard this week, and though others may have more to say at times, you'll surely have something of great value to contribute.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Despite your best efforts, you're not likely to have a major impact on someone's affairs this week until you are willing to be more direct. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What you think will be instantaneous this week is likely to take quite a while -- but this can work to your advantage since you are able to make adjustments as you progress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You receive news about someone early in the week that has you reflecting about your own state of affairs. Something you want has proved elusive. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may suddenly discover this week that you've not been going after something in the right way. You'll begin making progress almost immediately once you make necessary adjustments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- The domestic scene reveals much to you this week that you can apply to your professional endeavors. You'll discover someone is a real team player. (March 6-March 20) -- The information you seek this week is available, certainly, but finding it will require you to do things in a significantly different manner from your norm.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be in charge of getting the right information to the right people this week -- and doing so will require you to do a few things in an unusual manner. (April 5-April 19) -- The more you try to explain an unusual development in a logical manner, the more likely you will be to move further and further from the truth. Accept appearances!

(June 7-June 20) -- Say what must be said and do what must be done, but know that there are those who will hold you accountable -- even though you are responding to necessity.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You are able to pinpoint the exact cause of your own behavior consistently throughout the week -- but that doesn't mean it's right or excusable! (July 8-July 22) -- You're going to have to make mistakes this week in order to learn how to do certain things better. Others will follow in your footsteps, so you must make things very clear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll have the chance to give another a piece of advice that you would have benefited from some time ago. Don't be high and mighty, however. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your sense of what is right may be shifting slightly at this time, and you'll find yourself called upon to make one or two unusual decisions that put this to the test.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Shock value has a place, but this week you'll want to approach major issues in quite the opposite way. Keep surprises to a minimum; work with others. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may not be thinking along the lines of those who are "in charge," but that doesn't mean your ideas are not valid. Indeed, you can contribute much of great value.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can give a great deal to someone this week -- and enjoy handsome returns on your initial investment when the time comes. Don't be impatient. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to keep up with others today, but that doesn't mean you won't have the chance to move ahead. Indeed, the decision to do so may be made for you at one point.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're in no mood for conflict today, especially with those who have been compatriots in the past. Yes, things are different, but they needn't be combative. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- That which you are most trying to avoid is likely to be ever-present this week, so why not try, instead of running away, turning and facing this challenge head-on?

(March 6-March 20) -- You may find that you're one or two steps behind where you hoped you would be at this time, but you'll have more than one opportunity this week to catch up!
