ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Trying to get away with something that has been prohibited will only get you into hot water this week -- but forgiveness is likely to be granted to you very soon. (April 5-April 19) -- What you do with little time remaining on the clock can be definitive for you and significant to those who are backing you. You find a new, exciting way to do something.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A hasty judgment sends you down the wrong path early in the week. Pay attention to the signs revealed to you and you'll correct the error quickly. (May 6-May 20) -- You may at first be resistant to someone else's plans, but the more you hear, the more you'll realize you have something to gain by joining in. What role can you really play?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are likely to find an opportunity to do something that shows off a secret ability to many who choose to be near you at this time. Don't hold back. (June 7-June 20) -- You can choose to lead or follow this week, but whichever you do, you'll want to pay close attention to those who are near you. They'll provide essential information.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can beat someone to the punch early in the week, but you cannot rely on others to keep you in front all week long. Your work will escalate each day. (July 8-July 22) -- It's not who you know that really counts this week, but rather who knows you. It's a subtle difference, but it'll be clear to you when you have the most at stake.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your equilibrium may not be as consistent throughout the week as you would prefer, but you can certainly minimize any direct effects as you navigate your path. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may not fully understand someone's motives this week, but why are you focusing on that when you have more than enough to occupy your mind each and every day?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll be tempted by something that is revealed to you only very briefly this week. Where you go and what you do as a result provide what you most deserve. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A partner may think you are acting prematurely as the week opens, and so you may be. Take the time to ready yourself for something you know is about to transpire.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You will have to work hard this week to maintain your balance when the winds of change threaten to blow you far from where you are. There's strength in numbers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Tell others what they want to hear, and you'll maintain peace, but only temporarily. Tell them what they should hear, and it can be permanent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Taste is likely to become a major sticking point this week, but it may only be because of how you express yourself early on. Try to adjust your attitude. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you don't try to do too much at any one time this week. Something you do to support your primary endeavor may be nothing but a dangerous distraction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Taking things personally this week will get you nowhere, as there is much that will happen that can rub you the wrong way if you let it. Promote harmony. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Issues of recognition may get in your way this week, as your ability to differentiate one thing from the next will be challenged by a sameness that colors all things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- That which holds you back this week is precisely the same thing that is allowing another to move ahead. It's all a matter of perspective; make a change.

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.

(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.

(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.

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.
