ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to split your time this week in order to deal with two conflicting needs. You should discover a new, creative way to deal with such problems. (April 5-April 19) -- You're eager to join forces with someone who seems to know what's happening at this time, but you may be making a dangerous assumption. What does the evidence tell you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A shock early in the week has you doing many things in a different way. This method is new to you, but you've actually borrowed it from a favorite mentor. (May 6-May 20) -- Your immediate environment may challenge you this week in ways both expected and unexpected. The easy way to deal with this is to change venues, but is that what you want?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can give others what they want from you all week long without depleting your own stores of energy or essential resources. Your turn comes very soon. (June 7-June 20) -- You may have to recalibrate your thinking this week as you face a situation that tells you that much of your assumptions are erroneous. You'll soon show others the way.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll feel an unmistakable pull from someone who has been drifting in and out of your orbit for quite some time. Now your decisions will affect both of you. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be more excited about this week's possibilities than you have been in quite a while. This is due, in part, to your fascination with what someone else is doing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Take heed of any rumblings that might warn you of an approaching threat. You must remain vigilant this week and avoid getting yourself locked down. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your ability to skirt an uncomfortable issue may abandon you this week, and this will force you to deal with something that has been staring you in the face for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may find yourself in charge of what certain others say, do and even think this week. The best approach is one that gives them a great deal of leeway. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What goes on all around you this week may have you yearning for a simpler time -- but if you think about it objectively, you'll realize you're in the catbird seat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Travel plans may have to change this week as a confluence of factors make it impossible for you to go where you feel you most belong. Another journey pays off. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are eager to enjoy a little more quality time with family or loved ones this week, and this will require you to put something important on a back burner for a while.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have to tackle a certain challenge bit by bit this week, as doing it all at once will require you to do what, right now, simply cannot be done. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can surprise the naysayers by succeeding at a certain endeavor that has proved almost impossible for many others. A new creative phase begins now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can learn much this week about dealing with other people -- especially those with very different attitudes. Avoid the usual interactions. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You must progress this week in a logical fashion so that a certain someone isn't able to weaken your stance and upset your plans. Doing it by the book pays off this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You should be able to pick up the slack this week and finish something that others were unable to complete. The rewards that come your way may surprise you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be wondering how you've avoided the very pitfalls that have tripped up your friends. It's better not to think too much, but to keep doing what you're doing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're likely to receive news that results in mixed feelings about what you had planned to do this week. Any changes you make will have far-reaching effects. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Someone is trying to push your buttons and make you doubt yourself this week -- but it's just talk. You needn't listen to anything that is opposed to what you're doing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are far less interested in impressing others this week than you are in doing what you are called upon to do in a way that brings about desired changes. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be working from a different playbook this week, and you're hoping that those in charge recognize the value of allowing you to do your own thing.

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.
