ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be careful about what you tell others, because if you reveal the wrong things to the wrong person, instead of unburdening yourself, you might create more trouble.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be positive and build up your hopes, but also be realistic, because if you aren't, all you'll do is make more misery for yourself. Don't use your imagination as an instrument of disappointment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something you thought to be shoo-in could prove far more difficult to pull off than anticipated. This can be an extremely rewarding day for you if you don't take anything for granted and put in the work.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, naturally, but it might be far kinder to be forthright instead of painting a rosy picture that leads to false expectations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you start seeking an easy out, you might find only difficulty. By trying to duck challenges, you might only create more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Usually, you're the type of person who likes to think a few steps ahead of the game. Keep it up, as careful forethought will be vital to a successful day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your reasoning regarding a joint matter is likely to be a shade sounder than that of your counterpart. Listen to his or her views, because one could be good, but don't discount your judgment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- For reasons over which they'll have no control, the people whom you depend on might fail you. Your objective might be harder to reach on your own, but you'll handle it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You might have to guard against doing things in half measures, but once you realize the stakes at play, hesitation won't be a problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you're not careful, you might be a trifle extravagant with your resources. This is acceptable, provided you aren't equally as generous with someone else's money.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There is nothing wrong with having some fun and enjoying yourself, as long as you don't treat serious matters lightly, especially those pertaining to your career.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your judgment regarding a commercial matter might not be up to its usual sharpness. Tread softly when it comes to negotiating a transaction so that you don't make any bum deals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't be tempted to change a well-considered opinion due to pressure from a companion. He or she might merely be biased or self-serving.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you accidentally put your foot in your mouth by blurting out something you shouldn't have, take care when trying to make amends. You could do more damage if you're not careful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It could be a big mistake today to try to alter some social plans that would affect others in order to suit your personal interests. You might get your way, but anger a lot of companions in the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You aren't apt to achieve too much today if you're not methodical or purposeful. Even if you get back on track, it might be too late to get to where you need to go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Pretending to comprehend something you really don't understand could put you in an embarrassing position. Don't let your ego get you in a situation that you won't be prepared to handle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you've been pretending to be the underwriter of hopeless causes lately, there's a chance that others might get you involved in a costly undertaking that you'll have a hard time dodging.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although it's always important for you and your spouse or loved one to be like-minded, today it could be even more crucial. Don't expect desirable results if you two aren't simpatico.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you might do little, you could still expect a lot. However, because your rewards will be commensurate to your service, you're not apt to get what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Going to a place that attracts only small groups of people is likely to be far more pleasing to your taste than being where the large crowds gather. Make a smart choice.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you're planning on hosting something at your place, be very selective about the guest list. Without careful consideration, you could invite someone who doesn't fit in, making everyone uncomfortable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don't expect to make a favorable impression on someone if you blame this person for mistakes that you had a hand in authoring. Unless you own up to your part, the friendship won't last.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Manage your funds wisely and don't draw upon your reserves just to gratify a momentary whim. Unless you have tons of the green stuff, you might not have enough when you really need it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A matter you're anxious to resolve might be a bit more complicated than you thought. Give it the necessary time, and things will work out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you're a slow starter, you're likely to put more focus on talking about your intentions than carrying them out. Procrastination will only make things harder.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Unfortunately, you're more likely to see life as you would like it to be than as it actually is. Don't confuse optimism with objectivity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Upon occasion, you can be overly attentive or unduly generous with those who do not merit this behavior, in hope of getting their support. Don't hold your breath.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There are times when something opportune could slip right past you because of your inability to appreciate its worth. Don't let this be one of those days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In order to gain a person's support, sometimes it's best to understate your case rather than oversell it. If you're not a good storyteller, embellishments will be easily detected.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It is never a good policy to be free with something that has been lent to you. If something happens to it, you will be held accountable, so unless you own it, don't loan it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It isn't wise to underestimate your opposition when bargaining for something that you want badly. If you do, someone will make a great deal, but it isn't likely to be you.
