ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your gift to another person today will be what you do in a situation that arises very much by surprise. You can control what they likely cannot.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may receive so much input today that you're unable to sort it out effectively. Be patient, and wait until the surge dies down somewhat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are likely facing a challenge at this time that will require a great deal of thought along new lines, but it may not be upon you today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good time to study your own priorities and determine whether you have, indeed, organized them in the best possible way. What feels wrong?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be experiencing a slowdown of sorts today, but you needn't fear what may happen as a result unless you are somehow overindulgent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Ask yourself what would have happened some time ago if you had taken a different path. You are likely facing a very similar choice today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Pay attention to how your interactions with people differ -- even if only slightly. How are you changing to suit expectations?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to demonstrate what you're capable of right now, but take care that you don't overstate your case. Let others come to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Dealing directly with someone who has your number isn't likely to be effective today. You can do what you need to do another way, surely.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The only thing that can get in your way today is your own stubbornness, especially when it comes to making decisions. Let someone else speak!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The more daring you are today, the more attention you'll attract, but that doesn't mean you'll have more to show for your efforts than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be temporarily baffled today by the way things are adding up -- or not adding up. Look at the key issue from the inside out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone close to you seems intent on reminding you of the obvious, but today you would be wise to listen to even the most obvious messages.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to be front and center today to have an influence over what goes on, and the briefest input can have a major impact.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It'll be important for you to get the ball rolling today -- and you must be the one to do it, not someone else. You must take a hands-on approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- There's no harm in repeating yourself if doing so helps to increase your confidence, but you must be ready to address a new problem.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have a few complicated ideas to communicate to others today, so you must begin slowly and with the basics. Don't overreach.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're likely to learn something from someone today without even knowing it, but soon you'll realize you're putting the lesson to good use.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Pick up the pace today and you'll be able to put your competitors to the test. Not everyone will be able to keep up with you, surely.

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.

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!
