ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What you share with others can prove useful -- but you won't want to give up every piece of information. Some is useful only if you keep it to yourself. (April 5-April 19) -- A shallow reading of a certain situation is guaranteed to set you back this week, but if you're really willing to dig, you'll arrive at the truth and all will be well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're going to need more support than usual this week in order to maintain both the quality and pace of your efforts. You must ask for it. (May 6-May 20) -- What you most want may well be available to you this week, but tracking it down may be something of a puzzle. Try thinking about it from an entirely new perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The temporary may be all you have to work with this week, despite your preference for that which is permanent. Do what you can in order to receive what you must. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll be on your way very soon, but the first few days of the week must be devoted to checking and rechecking your stock of supplies and your personal readiness.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Others may think you're on the verge of a big mistake, but what you're working on can actually give the boost you need at this time. The week proceeds well. (July 8-July 22) -- You know how to do what must be done this week, but you're not sure of the timing. Pay attention to what others do, and let your instincts tell you when to get started.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll prove something of a communication pro this week as you pull people into your orbit and connect them in ways they had not possibly anticipated. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself thinking of an old friend you haven't been in touch with for quite a while. There are seven days in the week; pick one on which to connect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- What you put in the pot takes things to a new level this week, and you're all but guaranteed to get your ante back at the very least. Observe trends. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What you accomplish early in the week is likely to trump almost anything that a competitor does all week long. Now is not the time to take things for granted, however.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Availability is the key to success this week. You must make yourself available to another, and another's availability to you shapes the week as a whole. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What you observe happening in your neck of the woods is emblematic of a larger picture, writ small. Your intentions are good, and you're feeling at the top of your game.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Someone you know well may drop out of the picture for a while, and this turns into a test of your ability to go it alone. All indicators point to success. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You must be able to set aside any prejudices you might have in order to make the most of an opportunity that comes to you through unusual channels. Clear your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- If you give up a project you've been working on for quite a while, you're sure to be criticized by those working with you who are depending on you. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can show others this week what it means to be truly professional -- both in attitude and actions. It has very little to do with compensation, doesn't it?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may find yourself pondering a certain pattern of behavior that you cannot seem to break. All week long, this colors all personal interactions. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Nothing irritates you more than simple things that don't turn out right -- and this week it's likely to happen more than once. You must overcome your frustration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be suffering from a kind of character myopia this week that prevents you from making the right call for another. This phase passes quickly. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- It is most important for you to see what is right in front of you all week long and to avoid making assumptions based on what others tell you. Be objective.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be waiting for feedback about plans you shared with someone in charge, but it's not likely to come before you must swing into action. Get moving. (March 6-March 20) -- Keeping things tidy may be the only way you can feel on top of things this week, as major issues prove unusually stubborn. Do what you must to maintain momentum.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You should be able to take what the boss tells you this week straight to the bank -- but take care that someone else's version of events doesn't trick you. (April 5-April 19) -- Once will not be enough this week, nor will two -- but three or more will surely satisfy you. Rest assured you're the only one who knows what this dictum means.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You are not likely to be in the mood to do what is expected of you this week, but you realize that your own satisfaction isn't what really matters right now. (May 6-May 20) -- You can make a great deal of progress this week, even without any of your usual allies by your side -- but if help materializes, you'll surely want to make use of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may suffer a shock of sorts early in the week, but later, you'll shake whatever it is that has ailed you and position yourself once more for success. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll be concerned with issues that may seem only theoretical to some, but you know just how important they are -- even long before they affect anyone directly.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not be hugely busy this week, but you must always be ready to say "yes" to anyone who comes to you with an offer of a new kind of involvement. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be caught in an uncomfortable place this week between home and somewhere you should never have gone to begin with. You're going to have to fess up and face the music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may find yourself engaged in a one-on-one contest this week that challenges not only your abilities, but your most basic beliefs as well. Are you ready? (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A message comes to you at the last possible moment and sets you on a trajectory this week that you had no way of anticipating. More than an adventure will unfold.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The more attention you shower upon a loved one this week, the more you're likely to benefit, but in ways that you probably did not foresee. Give it a try! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can guarantee quality work this week, but you may have a hard time working within the timeframe that you've been given. Your instincts will come into play, surely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your natural pragmatism may come up against someone's idealism this week, resulting at first in conflict, but then an uneasy kind of collaboration later on. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be misled by the clock this week as what you are focused on isn't likely to be affected by the passage of time. There's no hard deadline to meet -- yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may find it necessary this week to delve into something you've long tried to avoid. What keeps you from real danger is your ability to compartmentalize. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You cannot try to do everything all at once this week; you have several perfectly good days in which to accomplish things, and you can use all the time available.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can have a great deal of fun this week, thanks to an ally who has put you in a position to demonstrate your considerable talent. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Others must not be allowed to see what is really going on underneath your carefully groomed surface this week. Soon you'll have the chance to reveal what's really been going on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may soon discover that the best thing that could possibly happen to you this week is the one thing you have most feared. Benefits will surprise you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Where your carefully kept secrets are concerned, you must tread very carefully this week. You may choose to distract yourself with a project.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be unable to move forward this week without hearing from another who brings to the table an essential component that you cannot do without. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- What goes on all around you will be worth some study this week, as you'll be affected by all manner of rhythmic shifts and may have to brace yourself for a coming challenge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not be able to get together with all those who are part of your planning at this time, but you have enough information to make a healthy start. (March 6-March 20) -- Slow and steady may not win the race this week, but it will surely keep you from endangering yourself or others at a time when sudden dangers are likely to be very real.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Just as you will often add to a recipe to suit your culinary taste, this week you must bend the rules a bit to ensure that the odds remain in your favor. (April 5-April 19) -- It's essential this week that you think -- and act -- in ways that stress health and longevity. You must do something soon that will require you to be in peak condition.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The usual is likely to affect you in unusual ways throughout much of the week. You're eager to find out what's your responsibility and what isn't. (May 6-May 20) -- You mustn't jump to any conclusions early in the week, but rather let things unfold as they will and react as if nothing whatsoever is out of the ordinary. Patience is rewarded.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your perspective changes this week, and when you realize that you are thinking more like a partner, you'll be ready to get a new project off the ground. (June 7-June 20) -- Your readiness is not in question, but someone else's is -- and you must be willing to take the reins if and when you find yourself suddenly working on your own.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be surprised by what you must face this week when you look past the facade and into the heart of an unfamiliar reality. (July 8-July 22) -- Even a short trip down memory lane will serve you well this week as you attempt to combine what worked before with a new idea that is just reaching maturity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- If it's ease you're after this week, you're almost certain to be unpleasantly surprised -- but once you are ready to accept a challenge, you'll come into your own. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time to turn down an offer -- even one that seems too good to be true. Whatever it is will give you just enough of what you want or need to fuel your progress.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The more you are willing to accept the unexpected this week, the more you'll find yourself ahead of the pack, but that brings with it new responsibilities. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Someone may require you to commit to a certain project for a longer period than that for which you have prepared yourself. This disappointment can lead to a discovery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The job that is offered to someone else early in the week may soon be yours to accept or turn down because of a chance encounter that changes everything. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What you are waiting for this week may not come to pass, but you should be able to use the time spent waiting to your distinct advantage. A new rule is in effect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The difference between a gain and a loss may be difficult to define this week until you find yourself at the center of something you did not anticipate. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Something you've not heard of before begins to exert an unmistakable influence this week. A little investigation on your part yields a great deal of information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to set yourself back a bit in order to improve your own perspective about where you've been and where you're going. Be creative. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Others aren't likely to give you permission to do something unusual, but if you wait until the time is right, you'll likely be forgiven for doing it anyway.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- A recent change makes its significance known this week as you jockey for position against someone who seems to be firmly in control. Take a chance. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A problem is solved early in the week -- just as another arises. Fortunately, the knowledge you gain in dealing with the first enables you to swiftly solve the second.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- No amount of study is likely to prepare you completely for what you will face this week. You'll have to improvise and take a leaf from a mentor's book. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may not be met with the responses you expect this week, and this alone may propel you down an unusual path. What you then encounter gives you much of what you need.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- What begins in certainty may soon be something of a crapshoot as the week develops in a way that seems to go against the grain. Your instincts are sound. (March 6-March 20) -- That which is hidden from view this week is likely to have a profound effect on what you do -- and what you are able to do. Some changes give you cause for concern.
