ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll thrive on creative endeavors this week, and they needn't lead to anything permanent. One by one, small accomplishments add up. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll want to stand up for yourself and others this week as you sense your rights are being threatened. It's a good week to make things official; why not put them in writing?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're eager to have a little more room to maneuver, and this week you can have it -- but you're going to have to pay a certain price. Can you afford it? (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to get some answers about an event that has been shrouded in mystery. This week they come to you in bunches, and you'll have to juggle information carefully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What others do this week needn't affect you unless you want it to. You must make a decision about which way to go when pointed in two directions. (June 7-June 20) -- It's a good week for making yourself available to those who have been out of the loop for a while -- whether literally or figuratively. Information flows freely.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can enjoy things vicariously this week when those around you engage in delights that you're not willing to join. When will you be able to cut loose? (July 8-July 22) -- An opportunity makes itself known to you at the last possible minute, and you'll be required to make a decision right away. This is par for the course this week!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're eager to use the information that is available to you this week, but you'll have to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're looking for the best and unwilling to settle for anything less this week -- but that will put you in a position that is certainly less than ideal as pressure mounts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Now is no time for guesswork; you'll want to have accurate information in order to make a good decision. The week progresses in fits and starts. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can get a jump on the competition this week simply by taking advantage of circumstances as they are presented to you early on. Your methods are your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your schedule may not give you a lot of room for reflection or unstructured thought this week -- but on one occasion at least you'll enjoy a key revelation. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What have you got that someone wants? This week a conflict is likely to arise because you are unwilling to accept a certain unexpected proposition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're ready to commit to something that was perhaps a bit daunting to you only recently. What has changed? Confidence is on the rise, for one. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may have difficulties this week with someone who isn't abiding by the rules that you are both expected to follow. Use caution, however: The more you say, the worse it gets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're eager for a certain someone to say "yes" to a proposition offered some time ago -- but why? You may sense that time is running out. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You enjoy several opportunities this week to reflect on the current state of affairs -- and to determine just how much you are responsible for and what can be safely overlooked.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone may do something to you early in the week that warrants an apology, but you won't get one until you demonstrate a willingness to accept it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're full of yeses this week, and you're not likely to weather any noes that come your way. It's clear to most that you're not one to be influenced against your will.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're willing to take on more responsibility this week, and you won't have to look far before you settle on something both necessary and satisfying. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can broker an understanding between two conflicting parties this week -- but take care that being in the middle doesn't do you any lasting harm as emotions run high.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A compromise is struck this week based on new information. Those who have been supporting you are likely to be more important to you this week than last. (March 6-March 20) -- A situation that demands a gentle touch may not be yours to control this week -- and that's just fine, because you are in no mood at all to sidestep an issue.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll recognize certain situations as they arise this week, and you'll be able to act fast in order to gain the advantage over a competitor. (April 5-April 19) -- You're tired of fighting the same battles over and over, and this week you can do something about that -- provided, of course, you aren't making a mistake of which you are unaware.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's time to put all misconceptions to rest about a situation that has challenged you for quite some time. You'll be on top once again this week. (May 6-May 20) -- The more you do for others this week, the more you'll be doing for yourself. What you may call "karma" is going to be in full effect throughout this complicated week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be delighted to find that something you were going to have to pay for is free of charge -- but only for a short time. Things turn a corner this week!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your own individual efforts may have to take a back seat this week to those things you do with others. Teamwork wins you intangible results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You know what's going on because you're at the center of it all this week -- but you'll still want to get another's take on what it all means, surely. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to be reminded this week of a few familiar lessons. Once they're firmly planted in your mind again, you can focus on those who need to learn the same things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may fear that someone in charge will not appreciate your efforts this week -- or the fact that you're taking the initiative. This is not the case! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may begin the week fearing that you do not meet certain requirements, but you're good to go. This doesn't mean you needn't prepare -- mentally and emotionally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be planning something that relies on shock value for its effectiveness, but this week, that kind of thing isn't really appropriate. Rethink this! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're trying to do something that's never been done -- at least not under your watch. Take care that you don't endanger others as you challenge yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your mind may be turning to personal pleasures at this time -- and there's certainly room for a little romance in your life right now. You can really shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What you think will take the entire week, or even longer, is likely to be completed early. You know exactly what you must do with the extra time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have a decision to make this week, and while others may grapple with implications, you'll find the central issue uncomplicated. Once made, the decision propels you forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to go over old ground one more time this week to make sure that work issues are resolved -- but there's also a personal component to address. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The familiar may not provide the comfort or confidence you expected this week, as you're likely facing certain issues that put you under a new kind of pressure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Give yourself a break as the week opens, and acknowledge that there's only so much you can do on your own. If you do that, you will have scored a victory. (March 6-March 20) -- You may find others working in a manner that suits neither your intentions nor your personal style. This is a good reason to go it alone this week -- if you can.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- That which is most strange requires the most attention from you this week. You settle a dispute between yourself and someone in a position of authority. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be shocked to realize that what you have been expecting this week has already come and gone -- but that doesn't mean you cannot claim it in retrospect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A gathering provides more of what you really need than you had bargained for, and the price to pay proves less than you had feared. It's a good week, all in all. (May 6-May 20) -- Your similarities to someone in the spotlight have you thinking that perhaps you have not taken full advantage of all opportunities or developed your potential to the fullest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You mustn't skip your chores this week just because no one is looking over your shoulder. Indeed, now is the time to prove that you don't have to be told twice!

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may feel as though you are reliving an experience this week that you were very glad had faded into the past. This tells you that nothing is ever gone for good!

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Others may accuse you of making certain mistakes, but you know you have done everything exactly as you were instructed. You can prove you are right this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll want to spend as much time at home this week as you can -- but does that mean your real home or your home away from home? A decision must be made! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can be more daring this week than usual, especially where a certain relationship is concerned. Why not say outright what you've lately only been hinting at?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your affairs and the affairs of a rival are likely to converge in a manner that results in quite a tangled mess -- unless you can foresee this and avoid it! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are going to have to work up to the challenge that is currently facing you, and you mustn't think that what another has given you is enough. Opportunity beckons this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You know which way the wind is blowing this week, but you may have trouble convincing others to travel with you -- even out of potentially dangerous territory. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Quality control will be of the utmost importance throughout the week. You must not waste your time with those who are unwilling to meet your expectations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Arguments arise this week around issues that have yet to come to the surface. How is this possible? Your own anticipation drives much of the talk. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Now is no time for you to dive headfirst into waters you have not sounded or explored. The deeper you go without preparing yourself, the greater the chance of failure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be feeling farther from home this week than you are used to -- and the situation is much harder than usual if the distance is only illusory. (March 6-March 20) -- Take advantage of any quiet time you are afforded this week, for it's then that you can really come to terms with some difficult issues you are facing -- or will be facing soon.
