ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can do more this week if you ally yourself with someone whose knowledge complements your own. This is no time to be jealous of another's contributions. (April 5-April 19) -- The shock value of something you do unexpectedly this week isn't likely to last a long time, so you must take advantage of it while you can. You must act quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You receive information early in the week that proves essential to your success later on. You must spend some time organizing your plans and available tools. (May 6-May 20) -- Frustration is likely to result this week if you fail to ask the right people for the information you need. They're not likely to come to you, so you must seek them out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your plans are solid, but you may have to make more than one adjustment as you encounter obstacles not originally taken into account. Your goals remain the same. (June 7-June 20) -- You can avoid almost all negative developments this week simply by focusing on what you've been assigned to do. Pay no attention to anyone else's methods.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You must steer clear of anything this week that you feel has been ill-conceived, or that seems to be specifically made to upset the apple cart. Stay on task. (July 8-July 22) -- It may not be up to you to fix what is broken this week, but you may at some point recognize that you're the only one who can, at least at this time and place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have trouble making plans that accommodate all those around you this week, but it's not up to you to better the odds for anyone but yourself right now. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to discover that something you were quite fond of long ago is still available to you -- and that it still has the same effect on you, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may not be able to avoid unwanted complications this week, but you can surely help others deal with them in a creative way that is also quite effective. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Preparation this week may not be quite enough to ensure success; you must also be willing to work longer and harder than usual. You certainly have what it takes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may find yourself at a critical junction this week. The decisions you make at first may not add up to much, but each one proves essential later. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You must do all you can to ensure that no one is able to find an error in your work. That doesn't mean they're not there, just that they are virtually invisible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can take a routine event and turn it into something quite special this week. Others will want to be near you, regardless of prevailing circumstances. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your ability to get along with almost anyone will serve you well this week, but you must make a conscious effort to be open, accepting, tolerant and enthusiastic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Your way of thinking is likely to be far more effective than anyone else's this week, and this is a product of experience and native pragmatism. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- What you have to offer this week may be unsuspected by those in charge until you swing into action. Then, surely, the value of all you can do will be clear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Others may be fixing things in ways that cannot last, but you're after long-term solutions -- and you can certainly find them if your methods are sound. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- If you're unable to get permission to do this, that or the other thing this week, you may choose to do it anyway -- and trust that you'll be forgiven. Take a chance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- What you want this week isn't likely to align perfectly with anyone else's desires, including a loved one. How far you can commit yourself is unclear. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You have something going for you this week that others are unaware of -- and even if they were, they would be unable to comprehend it fully. Take the initiative if you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't take too seriously the things others say about you this week. Most of it, if not all, reflects their ignorance, and not your character. (March 6-March 20) -- There are signs that someone who has been critical of you in the past is getting used to your style -- and what you say and do is likely to have a very different effect.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
