ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll find yourself in a position to both learn a lesson this week and to teach one -- but which situation is more important may remain a mystery. (April 4-April 19) -- Give yourself the room you need to explore what needs to be explored this week. If you follow the rules too closely, you'll limit opportunity -- and very likely reward, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Travel is in the picture, but you will be able to choose when the time comes whether to make the trip or stay home. Needs will be served either way. (May 6-May 20) -- From where you stand, the view is quite pleasant -- and should remain so all week long. How you feel as a result of what you see can send you into next week confident and capable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll be inspired by what someone else is able to do under fire. You can take a leaf out of their book without putting yourself in a vulnerable position. (June 7-June 20) -- You don't have to do things a certain way just because others do. Consider your purpose and establish a code of behavior that serves your intentions and your character.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may choose to consider something a sure thing this week that is nothing of the kind -- but your reasons will supersede any other considerations. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be bombarded by the question "why" over and over again this week, and you suspect it is because of something you did without considering all possible outcomes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Focus on that which gives you pleasure this week, and you'll glide through your own affairs feeling very much on top of things. A friend wants to join you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time to pass judgment on that which you don't really understand, as you're likely to put yourself in a very vulnerable position by doing so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The discoveries you make this week are all the more valuable if you share them with others. Ultimately, this can lead to a very productive partnership. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You cannot afford to risk that which is actually more greatly valued by someone else. You've been charged with protecting it this week, and protect it you must.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may come very close to jumping the gun in some way this week. After a few tries, you'll realize that you had better wait for a partner to be ready! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- That which comes to you as if by accident will certainly be worth some study. If you turn your back on it prematurely, you'll surely be missing out on something valuable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll respond very well this week to all that which plays to your various senses. Color may prove unusually powerful to you as you explore possibilities. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're ready to give someone else what they richly deserve, but you must take care that you don't end up going without as a result. This is something you can share!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be tempted to postpone what you've long been waiting to begin because of someone else's involvement. You can learn much this week. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You are gearing up for a confrontation of sorts, but this will take much more than merely shouting someone down -- and you know it. Make your preparation really count!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't expect a celebration this week, though you may get one for reasons you've forgotten. Work provides what you don't get elsewhere. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can use routine tasks as steppingstones to something much more impactful this week. When it comes to making things unfold just as you wish, you have no equal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You receive news early in the week that may have you, of necessity, doing certain things the wrong way around -- but no harm should come of this approach. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can both give and get this week, and you'll almost certainly find that the former is closely linked to the latter. You'll understand yourself much better very soon!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- If you expect others to react a certain way to what you do this week, you're likely to be disappointed. Take what comes and do what you can with it. (March 6-March 20) -- Everyone you encounter this week is likely to surprise you in some way -- but that says more about you right now than about them. Your perception is in flux.

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.
