ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may find that you're responsible for more this week than you had bargained for -- but also that you're well-equipped to get everything taken care of. (April 5-April 19) -- You are being resistant to certain influences that can actually be quite good for you, so this week is a good week to explore possibilities that they can present.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You don't have to do things through official channels this week to have the impact you had hoped for -- though they can help in some key situations. (Maya 6-May 20) -- You're willing to be led down an unfamiliar path this week, but whom you choose as your leader will make all the difference. Those who want the job should have it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The harder you work this week, the harder it may seem to get what you want from your efforts -- but you are misinterpreting certain developments. It'll happen! (June 7-June 20) -- You'll discover more this week than you have in the recent past -- so much so, in fact, that you may not know what to do with it all. You have time to solicit good advice.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You've been on the outs for a while, or so it may seem, and this week you're likely to receive an invitation that tells you it's time to rejoin the group. (July 8-July 22) -- Don't be afraid of anything that seems bigger than it should be -- especially where ideas are concerned. It's a good week to consider the biggest ideas.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Playful banter between you and a friend early in the week is likely to lead to something later on that is far more productive than you may have anticipated. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can stay one step ahead of the competition this week, provided you have equipped yourself well and you keep the tank full and the engine well-oiled.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- There are more ways out than you can recognize this week -- but is that really what you want to do? Getting more deeply involved is the way to go right now. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your plans may be threatened by those who are working directly against you this week. Don't waste time trying to figure out why -- just mount your counteroffensive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- There's no such thing as a "foolproof" plan, and this week should prove it to you beyond any doubt. How you react will make a difference next week too. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your own affairs may come under scrutiny this week by those who have decided that what you are doing is not good for you -- but what do they know? You must keep going.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Take the time you need this week to suss out things and prepare a response to what is going on all around you. Don't be hurried into making a mistake. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're ready for something that others aren't able to handle this week, which puts you at the head of the pack for a while. Momentum is high all week long.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What you share with a friend or loved one this week is worth remembering -- and repeating if you get the chance, but perhaps not just yet. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- If you find yourself traveling any considerable distance this week, you'll want to take work with you. Use the time to solidify something whose time has come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may choose to wait until late in the week to tackle a challenge that you think is going to test you in a number of ways -- but you're overestimating it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll be surprised by developments that seem related to your primary course of endeavor this week when, in fact, they have nothing to do with you at all -- yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to break the rules this week in order to get yourself out of a trap that someone set for you. Once free, you'll have much to say! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll find this week that complaints do not further your cause one bit -- but is that really a surprise? It's important that you know when to replace words with action.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not be as overwhelmed as others are by a certain development this week. As far as you're concerned, it may as well be more of the same -- in a way. (March 6-March 20) -- There's no use maintaining a superstitious outlook this week, as everything you'll be dealing with has a very real cause -- and effect. Keep your feet on the ground!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- There are things to fear and avoid this week, but generally speaking, you can maintain a positive attitude and move forward each day in a significant way. (April 5-April 19) -- You will have to rearrange things this week in order to accommodate what others bring to a certain endeavor. You cannot do everything your way, which is a plus.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You have plenty of time this week to address an issue that isn't entirely out in the open just yet. Use caution when speaking of this to certain others. (May 6-May 20) -- In one key area, you'll enjoy a kind of certainty that has been rare for you in recent weeks or months. This is an important development, and the benefits can last.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Take care that you complete each and every step on your way to a personal victory this week. Doing anything only halfway can surely bring disappointment. (June 7-June 20) -- You are ready to invest fully in something that has been proposed by a friend or loved one -- but take care. You don't want to damage your relationship in any way!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may find yourself seeking a way out of a certain situation when others are perfectly happy to remain. This says more about them than it does about you! (July 8-July 22) -- You're likely to do something this week that will have an impact far more lasting than you have any reason to expect. Is this a commitment you're ready and willing to make?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Just because you're about to do something new and exciting this week doesn't mean your usual routine responsibilities can be ignored. Tend to them early. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are facing certain obstacles this week that others would surely avoid if at all possible, but you're actually looking forward to facing whatever comes your way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- While you cannot avoid responding to developments in your own way this week, you must not take irreversible steps unless others take them with you. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your sense of what is possible is expanding at this time, and many more activities are available for you to explore this week without overextending yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You cannot expect others to make the same kinds of commitments this week that you do, though you will have a number of allies who adopt your overall approach. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can do much more this week than you had originally anticipated, but much will depend upon your ability to work well with others -- and to listen to those around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can have things shipshape before the week is out, but this will require you to assume greater responsibility than expected -- get your hands dirty. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Though a certain new phase has just begun, you may experience irritations and minor setbacks this week that tell you that this may well prove to be a long haul.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You have much to look forward to this week, but first you must take care of a piece of business that has been hanging over you for far too long. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may want to risk much this week for the chance to do something that could be richly rewarding -- but you must be realistic and accept the help that others will likely offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Pay attention to all business trends this week and you'll be ready to make an important financial decision when the time comes. Be sure to economize. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What worked before can work for you again, but you'll surely have to make adjustments this week as the circumstances are quite different -- and your "team" is different.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your standards are high, which is right and admirable -- but are they too high given current circumstances? You may want to make one simple compromise. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're sure to be tested in some way this week, but those whom you choose to share a certain endeavor with will have your back and enable you to do what was improbable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll have more than one chance to show others what you're made of this week -- but you mustn't expect everything to go your way at all times. (March 6-March 20) -- The support you need to excel this week will be there, but you may make a mistake early on that requires you to backtrack. You can make up any lost ground quickly, however.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- As you tackle a new project this week, you're likely to discover that you know all that you need to know -- thanks to someone you knew long ago. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll be inspired by someone who does things in a unique way. Don't be tempted to copy those methods outright, however; develop your own for best results.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The job you have to do this week may prove more difficult than expected, but your connection to one who shares your overall outlook will enable you to excel. (May 6-May 20) -- Your methods will be more effective this week if you avoid any kind of self-aggrandizement. Believe your own press and you're likely to experience a rather costly setback.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your friends can and will play significant roles in your affairs this week, but you must do all you can to direct them toward those goals most important to you. (June 7-June 20) -- You are facing few serious risks this week that are likely to evaporate entirely if you align yourself with those who have been in your shoes. Teamwork is key.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You will surely be able to rationalize even the costliest errors this week, but you are better off avoiding them altogether if you want to stay on top. (July 8-July 22) -- Avoid the theoretical this week and focus on that which is right in front of your face. You can influence the outcome of an important project if you remain wholly realistic.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Though things may start slowly and progress at a pace that is anything but exciting, you are certain to get where you're going if you are fully prepared. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You should be able to allow those under your charge to enjoy more freedom than expected this week -- and this will allow each of them to enjoy the greatest possible rewards.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may discover that you owe someone much more than you had thought, but you'll have the chance to make all things even before the end of the week. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to keep in touch with someone whose role in your affairs is becoming more and more important. Communication can open a few new doors this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not be able to do things all at once as you had hoped, but if you prioritize the individual steps to take ahead of time, all will be well. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may have cause to envy someone else this week, especially if your own accomplishments do not add up as you had expected. Focus on what you can do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Energy and inspiration are both running very high this week, and you must take care that you don't let them control you. You must stay in the driver's seat. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You've got something of a mountain to climb this week, but if you equip yourself and start slowly, you should reach the summit with plenty of time to spare.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll be struck with a special insight that allows you to do more this week than you had planned, but you may not be able to involve others just yet. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll discover that you are linked in unusual ways with someone with whom you seem, on the surface, to have little in common. This can be rewarding all week long.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can enjoy more than one opportunity to excel this week, but even the slightest slowdown may threaten to put you right back where you started. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll have more than one chance to use your creative talents to the fullest this week. Someone in charge of a group effort is likely to turn to you for more than simple advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You are committed to all that has been important to you in the past, but this week you may discover that following a new path can pay off in a few ways. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You must be willing to work well with others this week if you're going to maximize your own gains. There's little you can do on your own for which you'll be paid well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can put even the smallest piece of advice to good use this week. Don't turn your back on one who can help just because you're expecting more excitement. (March 6-March 20) -- You can do much to keep interpersonal drama to a minimum this week. Indeed, it can only distract you and others from doing what you know must be done at this time.
