ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may feel as though you've been trapped in someone's web, but it's only because you haven't devised a calm, rational strategy. Do it this week! (April 5-April 19) -- You will have to answer for something you did quite a while ago before you are allowed to move forward. This should not be feared, but embraced. Apologize first!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A new alliance has you looking in a new direction this week -- but you mustn't sever ties with the one person who has helped you get where you are right now. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll be more confident this week than last, but someone may still have the advantage over you. For the first time, however, you can see a way to turn the tables.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You will have to navigate rough waters this week, with someone else in tow who isn't as capable as you are. You must do all you can to keep both of you safe. (June 7-June 20) -- Difficulties are sure to arise this week, but you are able to handle all of them in turn. It's only when troubles come to you two or three at a time that you may falter.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You must not ignore those who are competing for your attention this week. What you do for them will come back to you in a way that almost guarantees success. (July 8-July 22) -- You can arrive at your destination in fine form this week, and the distance you must travel will have little to do with it. You're eager to prove what you can do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are ready to form a new attachment this week, but who is going to be the lucky one to be chosen? Now is not the time to lead anyone on; be clear. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are ready to address a certain problem in a new and much more concrete fashion. Some may wish to stand in your way, but you are quicker and nimbler than they, surely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Any time you are off balance this week, you can -- and must -- call upon a friend to help you restore equilibrium. This relationship is based on more than trust. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is no time to deny what everyone already seems to know. Jump on the bandwagon and work with prevailing trends instead of against them. Speak your mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not enjoy doing what must be done this week, but you can still look forward to the day when you will not have to do it any longer. That's progress! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Someone close to you is more than willing to give you the benefit of the doubt this week -- but you are the one making life difficult for yourself. You must find out why!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- There is no call for pretense of any kind this week. You must deal in what is true this week, and avoid anyone who would confuse things through falsehood. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Through a unique combination of style and substance you'll be able to get done what others have only dreamed of until this week. You'll wield a new kind of power.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- The work you do this week is likely to attract a great many other people into your orbit, but you must do all you can to remain aloof -- at least for now. (Dec. 7-Dec. 21) -- You're trying to get something done despite the distance between you and a partner. You may devise a method this week that not only works, but closes the gap as well!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Success is not guaranteed this week -- when is it ever? -- but you're feeling good about the odds and will want to pick up the pace. Your partners are with you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's important for you to be in just the right place at just the right time this week. No one is likely to question your methods or motives at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can do much this week to persuade rivals to come together under a common banner -- at least for now. This gives everyone an idea of what's possible. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Now is not the time to go your own way; rather, you must be willing to reaffirm your commitment to a group project -- and to doing what you are assigned to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll have to follow the rules, surely, but there are ways to do that which allow you to explore things in your own inimitable fashion. Find them out -- now! (March 6-March 20) -- You've been talking about making a certain change for quite some time now, but only this week will it seem possible. You don't want to miss out on this rare opportunity.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may not understand how the current schedule actually works in your favor -- but later in the week you'll realize you've been making it work all the same. (April 5-April 19) -- Questions of ability will arise again and again this week -- but you should find yourself sitting pretty when asked to do something that is squarely in your sweet spot.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You don't want to add any extra burden to your own -- or a partner's -- journey this week. Do what must be done, and when you can, take some time off! (May 6-May 20) -- Time can be your greatest ally this week, and you don't have to spend all of it rushing about everywhere. Indeed, slowing down can actually make it work for you all the more!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone to deliver the goods this week before you can take full advantage of a situation that was only recently revealed. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll be the beneficiary this week of many other people's good intentions -- but will that be enough to keep you safe from harm? You must play an active role yourself!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You detect something in another's behavior that keeps you from doing what you had planned. As the weekend approaches, you'll learn just how wise this truly was! (July 8-July 22) -- If you must travel this week -- and it may be impossible to avoid -- you must take all precautions. Despite your confidence and good intentions, you are not infallible!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll see things in a new light this week -- but that isn't enough, necessarily, to make you rethink your motives or methods. More information is required. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- That which is obvious to you this week may not be at all clear to a friend or loved one. This is a good time to stay as close as possible and watch each other's backs!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll encounter something that challenges your belief system, but not to the extent that you'll consider another way of thinking. You'll weather this storm. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Even an expected opportunity may promise some rare rewards this week. You must take things as they come, and not be tempted to force any peripheral issues just yet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- While others may feel that they must react to changing circumstances immediately, you may find this week that it's best to wait until you have more information. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your perspective may be changing this week in a subtle way that, at first, escapes your notice. A friend raises issues that allow you to see things the way they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have gotten a little lazy in recent days -- or even weeks -- and now you're going to have to buckle down and get the work done. Eschew crutches! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Something you overlooked last week is likely to come to the fore before you know it this week -- and you'll be compelled to deal with it, perhaps in a brand-new way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You've always been adept at seeing through the fog to the landscape beyond -- but this week you may stumble as your view is obscured. This won't last long. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Find a time this week to work closely with a friend who knows how to get the best out of you. Use caution, however, and follow all applicable rules to avoid real danger.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You've been in denial about a central issue long enough; this week you will have no choice but to deal with it -- and that will change you in a few subtle ways. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Your agenda will take care of itself this week -- but you must be willing to jump in and help someone get things done. In the end, this can surely serve you well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll want to address things in a moment-to-moment fashion, which will allow you to avoid any sort of "gloss" or "whitewash" approach. Get your work done! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll enjoy a second chance of some sort this week, and it will prove important to you -- not only from a work perspective, but also as it pertains to personal growth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Time will surely be on your side as the week opens, but if you abuse it, it will surely turn against you. You don't want to find yourself racing the clock! (March 6-March 20) -- You may be tempted to begin the week in a defensive position because of what happened to you only a few days ago -- but a positive, forward-thinking stance is best.

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.
