ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to cancel personal plans this week in order to pay more attention to developments at work that you cannot ignore. A teammate asks for your help. (April 5-April 19) -- Much will happen this week all around you that you are unaware of, but that which is most important to you will make itself known. Be receptive to all rhythmic changes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may think that a new opportunity is making itself known this week, but you are likely misinterpreting currents of which you are only just now aware. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll be dealing with other people this week who do not play by the rules, and you mustn't let their cavalier attitude rub off on you. It's time to adopt a defensive stance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Though others are likely to come to you for explanations of what is happening this week, the truth is that you may know no more than they do. Be honest. (June 7-June 20) -- You're likely to attract attention this week simply because you refuse to be impressed by the kinds of things that continually trip up others. You surely know what's what.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Ask yourself "why" too many times this week and you may find that the answers stop making much sense. You don't have to know everything inside and out. (July 8-July 22) -- This week may seem, in some ways, very much like last week -- and this perception may confuse you, especially when you try to gauge the importance of some events.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You needn't do what others do this week simply because that's the prevailing pattern. You can remain faithful to your own concerns by remaining independent. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are able to anticipate more than most this week -- but that's not saying much. The truth is that you will find yourself at an outright loss less than most.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The same curiosity that killed the cat is likely to do you a great deal of good this week as you identify just what has been affecting others so pervasively. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are eager to see where things are going this week, but you cannot do more than you have planned. Stick to what you know; soon you'll know more than you did.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can impress others with your calm approach to all that goes on this week -- but is it just a guise? You must continue to be honest with yourself. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Others may think they're showing you something you don't already know, but you're well ahead of them -- and this week you can succeed at a new and exciting endeavor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Someone not in your sights is likely to do something that sends your week in a previously unimagined direction. It's the start of something, perhaps. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Look closely at all the little things that transpire this week and you'll soon have an idea, perhaps, of something big that's approaching. Don't go off half-cocked!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- The faster you try to progress this week, the surer you will be to move backward, if only just a little. This is something you cannot now afford. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can call a halt to something this week that is no good for anyone except the few who are after the wrong things. You can assume a position of some authority.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are determined to see something through to its logical conclusion -- but is this the week to do it? You may want to lay off for just a while. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Now is not the time to assume that expertise is all you need to prevail. Knowing how to do something can get you only so far; knowing when not to do it matters more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Pressure is likely to mount this week, but you will not know what to do to relieve it until a friend or loved one gives you both input and assistance. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Decisions made this week may have to be revisited next week, but you're doing what must be done, whether or not it is lasting or noteworthy. The ordinary gets attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You don't have to schedule everything this week in order to make room for it. Indeed, you should have the chance to improvise with some success. (March 6-March 20) -- How you determine what is valuable may begin to change somewhat this week. You'll want to see where this goes without committing to anything just yet.

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.
