Born today, you are often able to do what others are not, not because your ideas are more original, more feasible or better in any way -- but because you have been endowed with such tenacity that you're simply unwilling to accept failure as an option when you've embraced a project of any considerable size or import. You simply must and will succeed, period. You are more than willing to work long hours to ensure that what you have set in motion will yield the results you desire, and you're usually unwilling to alter your plans in any significant way -- unless it is a change that significantly increases the chances of your success. Just because something is difficult or has proven impossible to another doesn't mean you can't do it -- and you will set out to prove this again and again throughout your lifetime.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The advice you seek is something you've already been telling yourself repeatedly -- so why don't you listen? You need no one else's help!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can expect something of a slowdown today, and when the time comes eventually to pick up the pace once more, you must be ready.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something you've been eager to enjoy is perhaps going to disappoint you today, and you must be ready to overlook many of the most glaring errors.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have begun to wonder if those you've trusted implicitly are, perhaps, not worthy of it. Today is a good day to do a little investigating.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Despite putting your best foot forward, you may attract a good deal of criticism today -- but you likely knew that would happen, didn't you?
