ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be distracted by something that would have gone completely unnoticed by you only a week or two ago. This marks a significant personal shift. (April 5-April 19) -- You needn't work so hard this week to satisfy others. Satisfy yourself first, and you'll realize just how important that is to your overall sense of well-being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your timeline this week may not have room for someone's immediate needs, so you're going to have to make adjustments before things reach critical mass. (May 6-May 20) -- You should be able to demonstrate to others just how significant and impactful your actions can be -- when well-timed and well-executed. A top performance is a winner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have more to do this week than you had anticipated, but when help comes calling, you'll certainly have some tasks to delegate. You can get it all done. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll have to decide very quickly this week which road you prefer to go down when faced with a choice you weren't expecting. Your decision will affect others as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Give someone a little more of what you yourself enjoy this week, and you can make a questionable situation far more positive and rewarding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your plans will move forward in a manner that allows you to make adjustments as you go -- which is essential given current circumstances. Don't get stuck!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Issues needn't be overcomplicated this week; keep things as simple as possible and know that your own attitude will impose a valuable calm. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may not be aware that someone is planning to counter your every move this week. This is no time to shrink from such a challenge; you must meet it head-on!

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You have only yourself to blame this week if you're unable to get things going at the right time and in the right direction. Are you interpreting all signs correctly?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Once you get past midweek, you should enjoy smooth sailing, but until then, you'll be fighting something of an uphill battle against an invisible foe. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may require more than the usual participants this week in order to overcome a looming obstacle. Anyone who wants to join your team should be welcomed with open arms!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- That which had little impact on you in the past is likely to become very important to you this week -- not all at once, perhaps, but little by little. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- By following another's progress this week, you'll be able to determine just what is possible for you, as you are in a very similar position. You can juggle many tasks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You don't want to do so much this week that others grow tired of you or your involvement. Pick and choose just when and where to present yourself. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be surprised by a rival's aggressive stance that can only be interpreted as a direct challenge. You have what it takes to meet it -- but think things through first!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your week may begin on a tense note as you give another a stern warning about what is and is not acceptable at this time. Things calm down as the days pass. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to give something a try, but those who know you best may warn you against stepping too far out of your comfort zone. Take time this week to experiment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are keenly interested in combining the old and the new at this time, and right now your efforts will be supported by someone considered an expert. (March 6-March 20) -- No explanation you offer this week is going to convince another that your behavior hasn't been a bit unusual lately. You must try to understand their unique point of view.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may receive a proposition this week that has you wondering if you're on the right track -- but this is not likely to be something you want to follow up on.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll be facing certain fears this week, and you'll want to be sure that you're fully prepared. It's a good time to repeat that which works best. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be quite taken by some sort of novelty at this time, but you must recognize that it's not likely to be good for you in the long run. Don't take the risk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- There's no need to look backward this week, as all that you must focus on lies ahead. You've gathered what you need from the past, and it serves you well. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may be wondering what's next, but by the time you decide to commit one way or the other, you'll find that you're in the thick of something you can't readily resolve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your ability to see what's what and to determine the value of that which lands in your lap will certainly serve you well this week. You give a friend a boost.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Questions of overall readiness and qualifications are sure to arise this week, but fortunately you're in a position to lay down decrees, not follow them. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A sense of superiority may be unavoidable this week, but you must take care that you don't say or do everything that crosses your mind. Be judicious -- always!

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- If you're likely to be torn in two directions this week, you must decide very quickly which way to go, as you risk another's well-being by remaining noncommittal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- The assistance you receive from another isn't likely to be quite as valuable as the help you give to another, but it's not a good time for keeping score. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Quality control may prove a little trickier this week than you had anticipated, as you will be dealing with other people's egos as you assess their efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't let that which you cannot control exert undue control over you. Turn to those activities that give you a sense of purpose and accomplishment. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Time may not be on your side as the week opens, but if you do all you can to get ahead of the game, you'll find that later on you'll have a more leisurely time of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You want to know how someone has been able to do what they've recently done -- but you don't want to intrude. Observation from afar can yield information. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- By shadowing someone this week, you can learn a lot about what has to be done -- and how to do it. You may want to suggest a collaboration -- but make no assumptions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have to dedicate yourself to two very important tasks this week, and though they are not directly related, one will surely inform the other.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You have the chance this week to collaborate with someone whose depth of knowledge exceeds your own in ways that can really make a difference. Don't say no!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- While others are certain that you've finally "landed" in just the right spot, you have your doubts. This week, you can do some valuable experimentation. (May 6-May 20) -- While you've been promoting your cutting-edge ideas, others have been mounting a challenge that you'll soon have to face. Are you unwittingly limiting your own chances?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Much will happen this week to bring you closer, once again, to friends and family -- especially those you tried to leave behind so long ago. Get in touch! (June 7-June 20) -- You're likely to realize something early in the week that allows you to progress in a new way and at an increased pace, simply because of a more positive attitude.

CANCER (June 21-July 6) -- You may not be able to do all the things you want to do this week -- and not because money is short. Finances are an issue, but outlook is the key factor. (July 7-July 22) -- Once you make certain practical adjustments this week, you'll find that progress can be made more easily than anticipated. You'll be facing the inevitable in a new way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be able to fit in someone else's project this week along with your own, and you may find that working in tandem this way increases your overall profit. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It's time to put a petty annoyance behind you, once and for all. This week, you can come together with someone and plot a stress-free path that both can follow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- If you think you can make room for one activity by canceling another this week, you may have to think again. Your schedule isn't working that way! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're eager to help another find success this week, but take care that you're not giving up on something of your own just to make the time to pitch in. You can do both!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The support you seek for a special project is certainly out there, but not where you expect to find it. You must be willing to look in some unusual places. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Now is not the time to burden yourself with guilt over something that was nobody's fault. You were part of it, it's true, but you mustn't carry that with you indefinitely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The more you insist on having things your way this week, the more you're going to limit your future by closing the door on some very real possibilities. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your intentions may not be entirely pure this week, but what you're after really isn't that big a deal. Others have done worse, and you know just how you'll be judged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may assume that no one is holding you back at this time, but the fact is that you're going to have to follow rules established by someone else. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be considering a change, but you don't feel quite ready to put it into motion. That works out well, as your week is better for planning than for doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're likely to uncover the cause of a persistent problem this week, but working on it just isn't on the docket just yet. It'll be there when you're ready! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you don't fall prey to someone who is using deception to get what he wants. Focus on the things that you can prove, and you'll avoid anything untoward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- A little exploration can yield an amazing discovery today -- but take care that you don't get yourself involved in something for which you're ill-equipped. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The time has come for you to throw caution to the wind -- at least a little bit! There are opportunities for you to pursue, and the decision may prove stubbornly difficult.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll be able to put yourself in a position that readies you for almost anything that comes along this week -- but don't take that readiness for granted! (March 6-March 20) -- You may have trouble seeing things the way they are for a time this week, until a friend steps forward and gives you the talking-to that you've needed for a while now.
