ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Yes, the week before you is ripe with possibilities, but you cannot exploit them fully until you come to a greater understanding of what it is you want. (April 5-April 19) -- An unresolved conflict is more important to you this week than it has been in the recent past, and you'll be called upon to step up and take some responsibility for it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may not win the approval of many just yet, but by week's end, you can be in a much better position for calling the shots where your work is concerned. (May 6-May 20) -- A battle of opinions is likely to be waged this week over an issue that is not all that important to you, because you recognize that something else is much more pressing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- There is more than one way to do what needs to be done this week, and you will want to consider the pros and cons of each before you even get started! (June 7-June 20) -- Tensions rise this week as a result of something you do that is only slightly different from the way you've done it in the past. You might have to address this each and every day.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A clash of personalities must not be allowed to affect what happens at the workplace this week. You're up against a deadline, and you must be efficient! (July 8-July 22) -- The particular problem facing you this week is best solved through solitary action -- but you can plan your assault in tandem with others who know even more than you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The volatility of certain personal issues may take you by surprise this week. Don't put yourself in any position that might increase your own vulnerability. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- If others break the rules, you will certainly be tempted to do the same, but this week that can only result in trouble for you and your allies. All must be done aboveboard.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The fact that you know more about what is going on around you than anyone else can serve you well this week -- but you are not omnipotent, surely! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A personal sacrifice early in the week can lead to far more measurable gains than expected later on -- though it will be hard for you to decide to make it at all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be committed to a fight this week that you don't yet truly understand, but you can do much each day to learn what you must to acquit yourself well. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- If you have the choice between being passive or active this week, you know which is for you. Very little of value can come about if you simply sit around waiting for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Whether you are right or wrong will be only part of the dominant issue this week; how it makes you behave with others who share in your ideology is the key. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your beliefs hold you in very good stead this week as you are attacked for something that is so basic and essential to you that you simply cannot be harmed or defeated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- If you make decisions based solely upon a gut feeling this week, you're sure to fall behind. A rational, thoughtful approach enables you to be competitive. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The unexpected plays a key role in your affairs this week, and you should be more able to make appropriate adjustments on the spur of the moment than you were.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You don't have to be front and center this week in order to have a positive impact on what is going on. You can surely be influential behind the scenes. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You want to be recognized for what you do, but you also want to avoid the kind of unfair treatment that can come from notoriety. How you position yourself is the key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- It's not so much victory you are after this week -- for you know that it may not be possible just yet -- but you need to find a true and lasting advantage. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- What you do for yourself can also benefit others this week and vice versa -- so long as you know that your own personal gains are only part of the puzzle right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Focus on your own motives and the motives of those whose work is closely aligned with your own and you will surely advance in the right way at the right time. (March 6-March 20) -- What you learn about yourself can be put to use almost immediately this week, and on more than one important occasion. Someone is ready to make you an offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are likely to realize, perhaps halfway through the week, that a situation that has been forced upon you is actually beneficial -- for now at least. (April 5-April 19) -- You must be sure to get enough rest and nourish both your body and your mind this week. An emotional situation must not be allowed to get the better of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- While others may be wondering what is expected of them, you'll know very well what you should do -- but that's not the same as doing it. Get started early! (May 6-May 20) -- You are confident that you can meet your responsibilities this week, but will it be possible for you to take on more? A new situation tests you in an unusual way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Whether or not you are comfortable with the way things are around you this week, you must move forward -- or concede defeat. Hard work gets the job done. (June 7-June 20) -- Something about a plan you've been making doesn't sound quite right to you or to others. Perhaps a central issue has yet to be addressed? Leave no stone unturned!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be comfortable with your current situation, but not everyone close to you is as willing to relax as you are. You can do much to win them over in time. (July 8-July 22) -- What is it that you object to about the circumstances in which you find yourself this week? Answer that question honestly, and you'll be well on the way to success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be the recipient of messages you cannot decipher this week. Take advantage of all assistance, and trust those who claim to know what's going on. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you have planned may require several short trips this week and at least one long one. Be sure you know how to get where you're going -- and how to get back!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can make all the difference for a certain someone when it comes to getting the most out of a difficult situation. As a role model, you will be exemplary. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You feel the winds of change beginning to blow at this time, but take care you don't react prematurely. You must deal in specifics, not generalities, all week long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You won't want to lose sight of what you're really after this week. Others may not understand your true motives, but you're not about to be derailed. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're moving in the right direction, but this week changes may have to be made as you are separated from a longtime partner -- temporarily. You make a key discovery.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The more you try to accomplish, the more you may drift from your own emotional center. You needn't take on more than you are comfortable with, surely. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- There are certain rules you must follow this week, but some you can bend or even break -- especially if you are creative in the way you reveal your doings to others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What goes on in and around the home this week teaches you much about things you've not given much thought to recently. A change of mind may result. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You must take care that preoccupation with certain activities doesn't keep you from answering someone else's call for help. Be aware of what goes on around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to do more than keep yourself in control this week; it may be your turn to keep a certain rival in your sights and "in check" if possible. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- How you do a thing will be just as important as getting it done, so you mustn't do anything that is likely to attract criticism -- or doubt. Your reputation may be at stake.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You are eager for more of what you've very much enjoyed over the past few weeks -- but is it available and, if so, where? A search is likely in order. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Take care that you don't send any wrong messages this week as you try to communicate in code. When all is said and done, you may choose to be open and direct.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You will surely have much to be grateful for this week, which will become clear when you compare your situation to the one others find themselves in. (March 6-March 20) -- You can be comfortable either calling the shots or following orders this week -- but you cannot do both at the same time without risking your own progress, and someone else's too.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- There was a time when you perhaps considered emulating a certain someone because of an emotional attachment; this week's events tell you otherwise. (April 4-April 19) -- You may be forced into a situation that you would try to avoid under normal circumstances. The week may be difficult for this reason, but you can uncover opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have trouble following instructions to the letter this week, due to a nagging feeling that something isn't quite right. Explore further and freely. (May 6-May 20) -- This week begins on a note of high expectancy, and you can ensure that everything pays off if you are where you're supposed to be on time and ready to participate fully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can help yourself by helping others this week. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but by following the trail of opportunity, you'll see it makes sense! (June 7-June 20) -- The more you check in with a distant ally this week, the more you'll feel on top of everything that goes on, expected or unexpected. You may enjoy something special.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be tempted to put a stop to something that has been the source of only minimal gain and enjoyment recently -- but this isn't the week for such a change. (July 7-July 22) -- You will have more than one chance this week to assert yourself and celebrate your autonomy. Take care, however, that you aren't giving anyone the wrong impression.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have to get away from where things are too busy for you more than once this week. Such escapes needn't be secretive; make them openly and be rewarded. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Overt aggression may not get you the results you will be hoping for this week; try a more sensitive, subtle approach. Suggestions are more effective than outright demands.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must work to achieve more efficiency this week and drop anything that appears to be holding you back needlessly. Forward motion must be maintained. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can address many responsibilities this week in a far more creative manner this week -- and one that yields far more productivity than usual. Set concrete goals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- If practice has made perfect in the past, then that precedent should bolster your confidence as you focus on learning something new this week. Keep trying! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A change in the basic pattern of your week needn't be cause for frustration this week. You can navigate any such changes with ease by maintaining a positive mindset.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll want to give yourself ample opportunity this week to get used to something that has been thrust upon you as a result of changing expectations. (Nov. 8-Nov. 12) -- Changing circumstances allow you to experience things in new ways this week -- which, in turn, can increase your enthusiasm about something you soon must do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Whether you are returning from some time away or heading off on a journey, you'll want to have all your ducks in a row -- which may take most of the week! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Sharing something from another's experience will have you realize that there's much you borrow throughout the week to ensure that you continue making personal progress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Your primary purpose this week may be derailed for a time -- but anyone working against you will soon learn you don't let things stay derailed for long. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Someone may ask something of you this week that you're not willing to give at first. Some soul-searching reveals the reason, and you may change your mind later on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll be reminded just how much more important the process is to you right now than is any possible result -- but that won't be the case indefinitely. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may feel shackled by circumstances early in the week until you discover a way to free yourself from any such unfair restrictions now and in the future. Be patient!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be frustrated by another's unwillingness to follow instructions. This week, however, you are perhaps meant to do some things on your own. (March 6-March 20) -- You might have expected to be jealous of another's good fortune, but time spent together this week reveals a pleasant surprise: You are, in fact, happy and proud!
