ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are eager to make a contribution to a certain group effort, though some may not be ready for it, since it is, you must admit, unusual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Impatience must not be allowed to accelerate things beyond your capacity for accuracy. You must remain in control of your own efforts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A past glory can inspire you to do great things in the days to come, but you mustn't be premature in your efforts. Stick to your own schedule.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may be waiting for you to get your act together, when, in fact, you are doing everything you should in the way you should. Prove it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Promises may be easy to make today, but they will likely prove much harder to keep. You can show others what it really means to keep your word.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have good reason to keep a certain someone squarely in your thoughts today. The farther they are from home, the more you'll pine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A brush with something unusually serious today is likely to change your thinking about your plans for the days to come. Consider options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- When things seem to come to a standstill today, you have what it takes to get them moving again at a pace that satisfies your need to be busy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A challenger appears from out of nowhere, perhaps, and you must be willing to raise the level of your own game in order to prevail.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be affected today by something you do not recognize at first, but after some careful study, you'll know exactly what's going on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others are keenly interested in the quality of your work at this time -- but why? Your understanding of what is useful is increasing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If it's inspiration you're waiting for today, you may be disappointed, but you can certainly benefit from good old-fashioned hard work!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Messages are likely to come your way rather quickly today, and you must be ready to send them off to other recipients just as quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is no time to jump into something without assessing all the risks and exploring what possible gains might be. Do your homework.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Productivity will soon be on the rise, and you may want to adjust your calendar to accommodate what will surely be an increased workload.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Just because something requires effort today doesn’t mean it can't be enjoyable. Indeed, the harder you work the more fun you'll have!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Why do you have the funny feeling that someone else knows something that you don't? You'll surely want to get to the bottom of this today!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't risk your hard-earned money on something that doesn't have the support of others. Focus on what you know to be rewarding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Communicate regularly with another today as you put together the pieces of a tricky personal puzzle. An alternate view can prove quite helpful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you do during morning hours may prove much more essential to a current project than what you have planned for later in the day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must make any and all requests as clear and explicit as possible today. Mere suggestion isn't likely to get you what you really need.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your emotional attachment to people, places and things will become far more evident to you today and fuel your decision-making process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself racing the clock today because you're afraid of coming in second -- but this is a fear based on false assumptions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that criticism doesn't force you into a dark place in which frustration and defensiveness fuel your behavior. Listen to reason!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you assumed would be a simple collaboration is likely to prove much more complicated today. Make sure your research is up to date!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You cannot afford to threaten the status quo right now -- but you can begin making plans that you can implement when the time is right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can afford to be a little bolder in your planning at this time. Take a leaf out of someone's book and do what you've long admired.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may choose to model your behavior on someone you've been observing for quite some time, but you mustn't consider this permanent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be facing a daunting task, but if you gather all of your resources together, you can do what some others think cannot be done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to shy away from a task because it promises to be difficult. Indeed, that's the best reason to go all in today!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others may choose a different path, but the one you're currently on can provide you with an experience that proves highly educational.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It may be time to redouble your efforts toward achieving a certain personal goal -- but it's not now something you want to talk about.
