ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Whether you are working with the truth or only a version of it -- your own or someone else's -- it's going to be consistence that counts this week. (April 5-April 19) -- You can shower someone else with all manner of good things this week, and it may not be enough. There comes a point in which you will decide that it's time to disengage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Promises are made, kept and broken all week long. All you can do is try to stay on the right side of the major issues and do what you know is right. (May 6-May 20) -- You're likely to find yourself on a certain "kick" this week that feeds your soul but drains your pocketbook. Is this something you can live with for now?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The moment you think you've made an error this week you'll want to stop and review the steps that got you to that point. You've not done all that you think. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll enjoy learning something new this week, though you may doubt it will have any real, practical use. This is a presumption that you'll soon discard, of course.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A quick review of your position tells you that you're sitting pretty this week -- or that you can be if you take a few steps that are outlined. (July 8-July 22) -- You can assist someone in doing something that is outside their wheelhouse. Is it within yours? You'll find that you can do some valuable learning -- while teaching.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your ability to see through someone else's deception will serve you well, though not necessarily from a legal standpoint. Others will follow your example. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- An old-fashioned method is likely to serve you better this week than any newfangled notions promoted by those who don't know how you work. Stick to what you know best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Put your money where your mouth is this week, and you'll surely impress those who are expecting big things from you. You should encounter few financial risks. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You should have something to celebrate when all is said and done this week, and you mustn't change your plans simply because not everyone can join you. Enjoy yourself!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your ability to get to the heart of a cloudy and seemingly impenetrable situation may well prove valuable this week. By all means, don't give your services away! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A little more work will be required of you this week before you can say a project is complete. A surprising development has you working on two things at once.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll have the chance this week to stop doing something you know is leading you nowhere -- and to start doing something else whose value is very real. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll have a choice to make this week, which is likely to affect your productivity significantly. Do you want to be remembered for more or less? Take a step forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll have a chance to show others what you're made of throughout the week, but you mustn't expect uninterrupted success. You'll take your knocks. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- What goes around comes around, but you can certainly exert a certain influence this week. Others may not expect you to come on the scene, but you'll do so with style.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Try as you might, you're not going to find complete success or contentment following the rules this week. They're too complicated to be effective. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Just when you think it's time to put a certain plan into motion, you'll discover that you're trying to move ahead with incomplete information. This week is about gathering more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- No matter how much sense you make when talking to people who know your modus operandi, you're likely to have a problem this week with those new on the scene. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- It may be a great time to revisit a plan that you gave up on some time ago. Things have changed mostly for the better, and the time is now to give it another try.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- From here to there you'll find certain dangers and obstacles surely, but this week you should be able to tackle any and all of them. Success surely beckons. (March 6-March 20) -- It's time to take advantage of all that others have to offer. Do that this week and you'll progress at a faster pace, and you won't have to sacrifice your autonomy.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What you do and say this week will almost surely be remembered, but attempts by others to use any of it against you in the future are sure to miss the mark. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll want to gravitate toward others who are going through something very much like what you're going through -- but, in truth, you must deal with much of it alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Once the damage is done this week, you'll not be able to undo it, so you must apply a good deal of vigilance to all things this week starting at day one. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be suffering from symptoms you've brought upon yourself. Pay attention to what your body is saying to you, and try to keep emotions out of the equation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're going to have to juggle a few more things than usual this week and take on someone else's burden as well -- temporarily, at least. You'll make progress. (June 7-June 20) -- You must be willing to face a great many things all at once this week, lest you be overwhelmed and fail at the one thing that you simply must get right. Don't waver.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Starting over may not be an option, but you can forge ahead with your usual duties in a way that embraces whatever provides you something of a new outlook. (July 8-July 22) -- You are tempted to let everything else slide this week in order to focus on the one thing that most interests you, but this can be detrimental. Attend to all that comes up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may not enjoy all of the opportunities that you were hoping would arise, but what you are able to do will prove to others that you are in it to win it. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have to give someone you know the shock treatment this week on more than one occasion in order to communicate what it is you're going through right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll have a chance to prove yourself in a manner that means more to you, ultimately, than anyone else. A stubborn obstacle forces you to dig deep. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You must respond to all that happens this week in a rational manner that is also proportional. Anything you do that is out of line will surely come back to haunt you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're likely to find yourself challenged this week -- not by what anyone else does, but by what you yourself do under pressure. Some fixes prove difficult. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You mustn't make the mistake of thinking that everything will be clearly revealed to you on the surface of things. You're going to have to look deeper than that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Others may have the opportunity to take advantage of you this week, but by thinking fast and moving just as quickly, you can avoid any genuine dangers. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The nimbler you are, in both mind and body, the more likely you'll be to avoid certain hardships that have plagued others going through similar situations. Stay alert!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can take advantage of a situation in a way that takes almost everyone else by surprise -- but especially those who consider you a rival. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're going to have to accept certain new realities this week if you're going to make the kind of progress internally and externally that allows you to be truly you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may want to challenge the experts at times this week, but when faced with overwhelming evidence, you must accept their verdict -- and deal with it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to let others see you succumbing to situations of your own making. Be strong, proactive and thorough to avoid being seen as vulnerable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The sooner you are able to take control of a situation that is evolving very quickly, the sooner you'll have what you want. Be ready! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may come across someone who is better than you are at dealing with certain prevailing circumstances. Watch and learn -- and be ready to step in when it is your turn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can do yourself proud this week, but it's going to take a great deal of patience and fortitude to face a situation that has evolved over time. (March 6-March 20) -- You can be both buoyant and resilient this week, yet you'll still be affected by certain developments that you simply didn't see coming. Your plans will have to change.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your immediate environment -- especially where you work -- could use a once-over. Take the time this week to make changes you've long looked forward to. (April 5-April 19) -- You're in no position to call the shots this week, nor are you eager simply to do what you are told. This proves a quandary until a friend steps in to help you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll be interested to learn this week who is in the club with you, and how you find out provides some entertainment. A tough question is answered. (May 6-May 20) -- Doing the same old thing this week can actually provide you with the opportunity to look at things differently -- which you should do in order to up your game.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Collective efforts can pay off this week, but only if you're willing to share both responsibility and credit with others. Try to be generous. (June 7-June 20) -- You are far more interested in quantity than quality, and this week that should give you a certain advantage over those who are thinking only in terms of the numbers.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- As you reach for more this week, you'll have to be careful that you don't overextend, as there is more than you know at stake. Guard against emotional injury. (July 8-July 22) -- You are better off dividing your work week into equal parts so that your efforts are easily measurable and you don't risk putting too much into any one goal or project.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're getting used to something you thought you'd never have to get used to, and in the process this week, you're also learning that you're capable of more. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- How you handle a personal situation early in the week can inspire others -- but you will want to avoid getting involved in their affairs, even if you are asked.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can expect others to complain to you about certain policies and protocols, but it's not up to you to change anything yet. That time will come. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It may seem rather soon to review certain past activities, but you'll learn a lot and should be in a position to redo certain things and get far better results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're in a tough position, but as the week continues, you should be able to spy more and more opportunities to improve things -- temporarily and for good. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone else to fill in the blanks for you, when in fact your imagination can do a fine job -- and in far less time, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- How you work with a loyal ally will make all the difference this week, and how you deal with a rival will allow you to do even more to further your agenda. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A recent improvement begins to take effect this week, and you'll find your spirits lifted and even your ability to make quick decisions improved. Make a big plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are likely only to progress apace this week when an obstacle you've lately ignored is addressed head-on. You can no longer live in the past. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Early in the week you may experience only limited results, but later on, things should improve dramatically. It's a matter of waiting for the right timing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't believe those who tell you that your time is up, for you still have plenty of opportunities this very week to make the right things happen. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Take the time to give someone precisely what they want this week -- as only you can. Once this has the desired effect, you can focus more squarely on your own affairs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must be able to see things from a fresher perspective this week if you're going to parlay a past success into a new one. Don't get held back. (Feb. 3-Feb. 18) -- You must prepare yourself for a shellacking this week if you're not able to improve your game with some up-to-date techniques. You don't want to be left behind, do you?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You must learn to leave well enough alone when you are not the one making things happen. Hovering and making a nuisance of yourself will never do. (March 6-March 20) -- Once you're able to see someone else's efforts for what they really are, you'll be off and running. This week you certainly needn't settle for second place.
