ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may benefit from taking a routine endeavor to a new and untried location or venue. This kind of novelty can give you quite a valuable boost this week. (April 5-April 18) -- Just when you think the right answers aren't coming your way, someone surprises you this week and gives you even more than you were asking for. Use them well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A more flexible approach will win you more than expected this week, and yet on certain issues, you'll surely want to remain firm and avoid any vacillation. (May 6-May 20) -- The stance you take at the outset will inform all that you do, and much that happens to you, this week. You can afford to be more accepting, even forgiving, at this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It may be time for you to turn away from someone who is causing you no end of frustration -- even if it means suspending the relationship indefinitely. (June 7-June 20) -- What begins as a goal-oriented endeavor this week becomes one that is far more rewarding when you think of the journey itself and the stops you make along the way.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll find it difficult this week to establish and maintain a healthy attitude -- but is this because of something you can change? Explore all possibilities. (July 8-July 22) -- You're being asked to perform well above your pay grade perhaps, but that's nothing new to you -- and you're more than willing, as usual, to deliver the goods on time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll want to avoid those little groups bound together by suspicion or prejudice. This week, you must adopt a more open view than most even know is possible. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you are after this week is likely to bring you much personal contentment -- but you'll also want to focus on those endeavors that benefit those around you as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It may be time to pack up and get out of town -- at least temporarily. You're in need of something that your current situation may not be able to provide. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll benefit in unexpected ways this week by staying away from those who have very different ideals and principles. What you want you can provide yourself -- solo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll have to schedule your activities with great care this week and take into consideration more than the usual external and internal forces. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A slowdown may be feared, but it can prove a gift as it allows you the opportunity to reflect on where you've been and where you're going. This leads to a major discovery.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Looking back on a recent journey is likely to shed light on a situation that until this week proved almost indecipherable to you. Now answers come quickly. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Put things as simply as you possibly can this week and you'll be understood, and overcomplication is to be avoided -- especially when you find yourself under scrutiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be growing tired of doing things in the same old familiar ways -- but more than that demands attention this week. What's really going on inside? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may discover that it's the source of erroneous information that is truly at fault, and not your interpretation of it. It's up to you to provide correction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The more you do this week, the busier you will be -- and the more productive you will think you are. This may be deceptive, however. It's time to streamline. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You seek the truth and nothing but the truth this week, but it may be surprisingly difficult to track down the one person who can get you looking in the right direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- It's not up to you this week to solve everyone's problems, though you may think you can. Overconfidence can prove dangerous at this time. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can score points this week with someone who is very difficult to impress -- but this doesn't mean, of course, that your relationship will be deeply affected. Expect no changes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can learn much by listening to others this week -- and you must resist the temptation to speak up before you really know what you are talking about. (March 6-March 20) -- You may only be in the beginning stages of a new and important phase, but you're feeling quite confident and you'll want to up the ante and pick up the pace, perhaps.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You won't be able to avoid something that's coming your way this week, try as you might. By facing it head-on, you'll almost certainly learn something! (April 5-April 19) -- You may not have to deal with the same old slowdowns this week, but something new looms ahead that will surely demand at least partial attention for many days on end.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can claim what you want without putting anyone else in a bad position. What happens to you alone is more important than anything else this week. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll feel someone's pull this week, but whether you allow yourself to go in that direction depends in large part on variables you have yet to address.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Despite someone's misplaced emphasis this week, you'll want to focus on quality over quantity. One good thing is better than many that are mediocre! (June 7-June 20) -- If you find yourself traveling this week, you must be sure to plan more carefully for your return trip, as conditions may be very different when you're coming back home.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- The options you are faced with this week will challenge you -- not because neither is viable, but because both are. Work this out one step at a time! (July 8-July 22) -- You may have trouble working out your priorities this week, as you are faced with positives and negatives that are all competing for your full attention. Why fly solo this week?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can arrange things to your advantage this week even though you are not "hands on" much of the time. A careful negotiation pays off handsomely. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Something you overlooked not long ago is back in your sights, and this time you'll want to give it the attention you know it deserves. You may choose a wholly new approach.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may learn that someone is doing things in a more positive and productive way than you are this week -- but is adjustment really possible right now? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You won't be able to use current circumstances as an excuse for not doing what you know must be done this week. You can get it all done despite complications.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may get yourself into hot water early in the week by not being sensitive to another's "issues," but your sensitivity returns everything to normal. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Developments this week require your attention, but you must resist the temptation to control everything you can. Some key issues must evolve organically.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your attitude must remain positive throughout the week, despite any setbacks you experience. Someone's guidance serves you very well. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Home affairs are likely to pull your attention away from a critical issue at work -- but it's not going anywhere, and you'll have plenty of time for it later on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be confusing significance with permanence at this time, but this problem can be solved by approaching each thing individually this week. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- What begins as something of a joke is likely to become quite serious as the week progresses, and you don't want to find yourself at the wrong end of a disciplinary action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- If you're waiting for everything to suit your needs to a "T" this week, you'll be waiting a long time. You're going to have to compromise. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You are eager for something to get started this week, but it can't until you've tied up some loose ends -- and that may prove uncomfortable until all is said and done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll spend a few days preparing for something that will transpire late in the week -- or you will fail to address it properly. The choice is yours. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be offered the "perfect" opportunity this week, but you must examine all aspects of it very closely in order to determine whether it's really for you after all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't be deceived by someone's behavior this week, which is calculated to mislead. Remember who you're dealing with -- at all times! (March 6-March 20) -- You may encounter resistance today from someone who doesn't want to do things your way. This may not be an option, but it can still prove a divisive issue.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Certain issues are likely to resurface this week after a period in which they were hidden away -- perhaps unintentionally. You must deal with them now. (April 5-April 19) -- Giving someone exactly what they want isn't necessarily the way to do them a favor. Indeed, you may have to hold back in order to do them the best possible good this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your beliefs are likely to be challenged this week, but the culprit may not be known for quite some time. You must navigate some rapid currents with care. (May 6-May 20) -- What you're waiting for is likely right around the next corner, but it will take you longer than usual to get there -- or to prepare yourself for what you'll soon have.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The conflicting notions of good versus bad will test you in ways that you have not anticipated this week. Who can tell you what's what right now? (June 7-June 20) -- You ignore what comes your way this week at your own peril. Take in all around you. You'll be able to make the kinds of quick assessments that can put you ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You have the sense that you've been here before, but it may be more than that -- and you must be willing to search some dark and scary corners for the truth. (July 8-July 22) -- Study what someone else does in moments of stress this week, and adjust your own behavior in accordance with what you see works best. You can't fight human nature!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're in transition right now, and only certain things can be given your full attention. This week you must be willing to maximize moments of calm rationality. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can profit from someone's mistakes or misfortunes this week -- but you're not necessarily going to like it. This may warrant a change in your way of thinking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be able to take things in a whole new direction this week without making so much as a ripple on the water. Such changes give you renewed enthusiasm. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll receive instructions early in the week that serve you well until you realize that what you're doing is, in the main, not for you. Things then get tricky!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You cannot expect to break the rules this week and have others merely overlook it. You can be sure that there are those who demand that you toe the line. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What worked for you last week isn't likely to have the same overall impact this week, but you may be able to watch someone take what you did and run with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The unintended is almost certain to be more deeply felt than anything you mean to say or do, so you must guard against losing focus and lashing out needlessly. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- If you insist on doing it all on your own this week, then you'll have no one to share the blame with later on -- or the glory, either. It's all better with a friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can get more done than expected this week, which will put you in a very good position in relation to the competition. You must soon conserve resources. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- How much can you afford to let up this week? Only you can answer that question, but hold off until you know exactly what is expected of you every step of the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You will have to dig deeper than usual this week to come up with answers to questions you've been trying to avoid. You simply mustn't hide from the truth! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The more you put yourself out there at this time, the more you'll have to answer for when the time comes -- but it should be entirely worth it after this week's gains.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be united with another this week under a single banner -- and though it takes you by surprise, you can surely make the most of this situation. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Tensions between you and a loved can subside this week -- but not on their own, and not without your solemn promise that you'll do what you can to avoid repeating certain mistakes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Yes, it's that time again, but you may not be fully prepared to do what you know will be asked of you. Take time early in the week to review key lessons. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be heading directly into a crisis of sorts this week, but you can ease tensions simply by raising certain issues with another whose assistance you surely need.
