ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are aware of things changing around you, but you're eager to hold on to certain aspects of the status quo simply because they tie you to your past. (April 5-April 19) -- Someone may expect you to give in this week, but you're not about to do anything of the kind. Indeed, you can mount a comeback that puts you far ahead of any of your rivals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Two views yield two dramatically different opinions this week, and you'll find yourself playing the tricky role of arbitrator more than once. (May 6-May 20) -- You can see what lies ahead more clearly than most this week, but few are likely to believe you if you share your views without backing them up with clear evidence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll be able to increase your own productivity this week by doubling up on tasks that are already more complicated than expected. You can do it all! (June 7-June 20) -- Uncertainty is not enough to hold you back this week if and when you feel compelled to explore ground you haven't covered before. Someone's perspective is valid.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Whether something is "good" or "bad" will depend in large part upon the final verdict of someone not directly involved -- and that may take some time. (July 8-July 22) -- The work you do this week should attract a great deal of attention -- and win you a good deal of praise to boot. Don't be tempted to overdo what is handsomely done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll have to sit down with someone of an opposing view and hash out things in a civil, rational manner this week -- or progress is not likely to be made at all. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You receive yet another invitation from someone who has you feeling uncertain or even suspicious -- again. This is clearly something you must talk about -- soon!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Difficulties cannot be circumvented this week; you must be willing to face them head-on. Fortunately, you may have plenty of company to help you. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Take care that you're not putting things in terms that others cannot readily understand or appreciate. You must maintain open and effective communication all week long!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Now is not the time for guesswork, it's the time for careful exploration and study. You'll want to know that you're right when all is said and done. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You cannot prolong that which is ready to be finished -- and this week this will apply to several key issues about which you and others are still not in complete agreement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- An assignment falls to you this week because you're the only one who has demonstrated any clear aptitude for the tasks required to complete it successfully. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- If you have to ask yourself if something you want to say or do is the right thing in the moment, take a pause and consider another's viewpoint. You already know the answer!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be tempted to let something urgent go by the wayside today, but that's tantamount to quitting a race you know you can win. Stick to it! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Surprises come to you fast and furiously this week, but it's not so much the surprises but the repeated recoveries that take it out of you. Others judge you favorably to be sure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have expected to score a quick victory over someone this week, but that's not likely how it's going to fall out. You'll have to work hard! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A challenge comes to you this week that forces your hand, but you can remain calm and secure in the knowledge that your methods are the most effective for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have trouble getting someone -- or something -- off your mind this week. This is a sure sign that one or two key issues must be addressed -- now. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Someone has a surprise in store for you, but you'll likely see it coming at the very last minute -- and that should enable you to respond in the most effective manner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not be keen on a recent development, and this week you can do something to begin the process of reversing what some likely considered irreversible. (March 6-March 20) -- You'll enjoy the opportunity to work closely this week with someone who inspires you in a manner you haven't enjoyed for some time. You two have real chemistry!

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.
