ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your positive approach can inspire others this week. Take care that you don't try so hard to make things work on your own that you turn away a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A loved one joins your team, perhaps, but doesn't fit in the way you may have expected. Don't judge prematurely; this could actually be an advantage. (May 6-May 20) -- You should be able to keep up a brisk pace this week even though you'll be dealing with unexpected challenges. They are rather small in the scheme of things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- This is a good week to explore all the possibilities that arise when dealing with those whose methods are different from your own. You can learn a lot!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may require more support this week than you've enjoyed in the past, but that doesn't mean you won't make any progress until you get it. Keep moving forward!
