ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You mustn't make anyone ask you yet again to do what should be a matter of routine. This week you have a chance to prove you can be responsible and thorough. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be struggling under a misconception that someone has promoted, but this week you're likely to prove what you've suspected all along -- and benefit handsomely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may not be able to stay out of something that someone you know has brought about, even though you may be threatening your reputation in some way. (May 6-May 20) -- A journey leads you down an unexpected path -- yet, you're likely to end up precisely where you wanted to be in the first place. Enjoy the view and what others can offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be shooting yourself in the foot this week if you refuse something merely because of who has made the offer. You must be more inclusive than that. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll gravitate toward those who share your view of the current state of things, but that doesn't mean you cannot evolve. Indeed, this week you'll change in subtle ways.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A routine cleanup is likely to uncover something that you never suspected you'd find -- at least not where you are. More than that strains credulity this week. (July 8-July 22) -- You're going to have to accept that coincidences happen, as events this week will prove it in a very clear and concise manner. Now what do you do?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A surprise early in the week has you looking over your shoulder wherever you go -- until you realize that that was, indeed, a one-and-done kind of event. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A mild annoyance with a loved one is likely to build throughout the week, and you must be willing to take a step back and orchestrate a compromise in order to avoid a serious rift.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You learn much from conflict this week, but that doesn't mean you should promote it. Indeed, your role as peacemaker will be clear as soon as you get involved. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What you're after this week isn't likely to be allowed -- at least not by someone who thinks they're in charge. Fortunately, this obstacle isn't likely to last long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- It's time to move on to something else now that you've put the finishing touches on a long-term project. You're after more than novelty; quality counts most. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- After someone bids you farewell early in the week, you may feel that there is little for you to do to shed the blues that descend upon you -- but the solution is at hand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can use the week as a kind of showcase of your abilities and your unique way of thinking about the situations that are more prevalent at this time. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be putting the blame on someone else erroneously at this time. Why not spend the week looking for evidence of your own culpability? It will surely turn up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Someone is likely to give you the opportunity to do something this week that you've long wanted to do despite a feeling of inadequacy. Get it done! (Dec. 7-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't let yourself get used to the slower pace of things this week, as it's not likely to last. Take the time to ready yourself for what is about to begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- If you've been trying to explain certain inconvenient facts in a way that limits your responsibility, you must tell the truth this week. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can do wonders to promote yourself and your ideas without being explicit in the expression of your desire to get ahead. Ultimately, others can speak for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Now is no time to expect someone to do what you should be doing yourself. You have the time, resources and skills you need to succeed. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be racing against the clock throughout much of the week, until someone assures you that you'll be recognized for your efforts, regardless of timing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not be able to satisfy all requests this week, but there are a few special people you'll want to serve as you work to promote your agenda. (March 6-March 20) -- It's time for you to acknowledge that which you've hidden away for quite a while -- and you needn't expect anyone to hold your past behavior against you for any reason.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You needn't be nervous about something that you cannot avoid this week. Indeed, it's likely to result in a change that you can exploit very successfully. (April 5-April 19) -- You may think you're running out of "good" ideas, but this week you can bring one back to life that you thought had run its course -- and the results may surprise you!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- What proves difficult to others is likely to be quite easy for you this week -- and vice versa. You're following a path that no one has yet taken. (May 6-May 20) -- You can devise a plan this week that benefits those around you almost as much as it does yourself -- but you must take care that you're not biting off more than you can chew.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's going to take more than speed to get you across the finish line this week; you're going to have to make certain adjustments to suit others on your team. (June 7-June 20) -- What you see when you look in the mirror this week may surprise you, but it will give you a very good idea of what others see -- and tell you how you may combat a challenge.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Honest self-assessment can put you ahead of the pack this week, but take care that you're not merely going through the motions or putting on a show. (July 8-July 22) -- You have much to be thankful for at this time, though you may have to stop and press the reset button in order to get the most out of what is really a routine opportunity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- There's no reason to spread animosity or vitriol this week -- and nothing good can result from doing so either. Adopt an accepting, forgiving attitude. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Now is the time for you to put into motion the plan you've been working on for some time. Others need what you have to give and can surely make the most of this moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're not alone, no matter what you may be thinking or feeling. Get in touch with someone who has been by your side during tough times. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- As the saying goes, you are either part of the solution or part of the problem -- and by doing nothing, you'll almost certainly join the ranks of the latter this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have trouble seeing, or at least acknowledging, what is plain to so many others this week. Try to broaden your view; let experience speak to you!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The way you've been doing a certain thing in the recent past may not be appropriate or effective now, but you can make an important change this week. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Some of your views may attract criticism this week, but you're able to back them up with clear evidence. You may not change minds, but you can certainly win respect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are less interested in the big picture this week than you are in exploring the little things that can make such big differences to you and others. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to come to some kind of understanding with someone who has been on the other side of the ideological fence for some time. Neither of you is wrong.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Trouble you encounter this week is likely the result of some residual resentment or frustration that can and should be quickly jettisoned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may not know precisely what is required of you this week, but you can revive an old plan and put it into motion in order to stabilize your position. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You must be willing to do what others aren't this week in order to get ahead -- and if you time your efforts correctly, you should enjoy smooth sailing for quite a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Your competitive drive has been heating up for some time, and this week you'll have the chance to go head to head with a close rival. You have an advantage. (March 6-March 20) -- That which didn't interest you at all in the past is something you see in a new light this week, and by exploring it fully, you can open new doors of opportunity.

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. (July 8-July 22) -- Communication with someone who shares your outlook and intentions will yield some important discoveries and realizations that you can apply to your work almost immediately.

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!

(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.

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.
