ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You must take the time to do what is right this week for yourself and for someone else in your inner circle. Are you on the right side? (April 5-April 19) -- Much of your week will be spent preparing for something that you must do later on, but that surely affects how you do things moment by moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll have a vested interest this week in someone else's progress and potential success. You know a good thing when you see one! (May 6-May 20) -- A loss of momentum is expected toward midweek, but then you'll be able to pick up the pace again and finish strong, challenging a major rival for the top spot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're not interested in dealing with anyone who does not follow the rules this week. You can't afford such trouble right now. (June 7-June 20) -- A complication may hold you back for a time this week; free yourself of it, and you can score more than one personal victory before the week is out.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to make something of a sacrifice this week in order to enable someone close to you to rise to a personal challenge. (July 8-July 22) -- Apply yourself to a particularly stubborn problem this week and you can certainly come to understand it better, if not solve it once and for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Are you paying too much attention to someone else when you should be focusing on your own affairs? Don't get distracted this week! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A professional option strikes you as odd when it is first presented to you. After further thought, you may be more than willing to see where it will lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You know what you need, and you know where you can get it. It's not that easy, however, and you must be patient throughout a long week. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You aren't likely to recognize a certain opportunity this week until it has almost passed you by, but it won't be too late to take advantage of it!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- A controversy arises this week after you and a rival try to do the same thing at the same time. Someone is going to have to yield. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may enjoy an enforced journey far more than expected this week. You learn much about yourself and about someone who insists on accompanying you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- How you react to a certain development says a great deal more about you this week than you may want to reveal, but you can undo any damage done. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You mustn't confuse quantity with quality this week. It's certainly easier to do more, but "better" is what's really required of you at this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll be eager to follow someone else's progress this week, as you had much to do with getting him or her to this point. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may have to put your own work aside for a time this week in order to assist someone who is in a far more vulnerable position than you are. You'll be rewarded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You know something about yourself that no one else knows, of course, but did you know that a loved one knows something you don't? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- An unusual strategy serves you very well this week, as you try to outmaneuver someone who is doing things in an unconventional way as well. It's quite a contest!

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You and a partner can come up with quite a plan this week, but take care you're not letting your excitement get the better of you. Are you being realistic?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll have a chance to step into a new role this week and win the praise of many who have been there before. Be ready to learn a lot!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may find family tensions ramping up as the week opens, but what you do in tandem with others can keep a rift from developing. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be wondering what your purpose really is this week, and it remains a mystery until quite suddenly you realize that you've been true to it all along.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's time to assert yourself in a way you haven't in the recent past. Don't try to do it all at once; process is just as important as results. (May 6-May 20) -- While others are eager to jump on almost any new bandwagon, you're more inclined to trust traditional methods and ideologies this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You must be willing and able to read the signs as they are presented to you this week. Knowing what to do depends on getting up-to-date info! (June 7-June 20) -- A crisis may arise early in the week to which you hold the key. Don't be resistant to change, however, for it is necessary to a permanent solution.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A challenge to the status quo has you considering options that are new to you -- but perhaps rather traditional in the overall scheme of things. (Aug. 8-Aug 22) -- What you have going for you will become apparent this week, especially if you allow yourself to go down an unfamiliar path.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Certain vibes have you reacting in ways that take you very much by surprise. Are you willing to take on something new this week? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may uncover an opportunity that others are eager to take advantage of, but you must assert yourself and claim your spot first in line!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Messages cross this week, and you may be left with little or no pertinent information. A little guesswork can save the day, just in time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- A separation goes on and on, with seemingly no end in sight. You must not lose your will to progress, or your taste for accomplishment. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You know what's what and who's who this week, but what you are supposed to do with that information, and where, may prove elusive to you until the last moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Family members are likely to be feuding with each other over issues that can easily be resolved, but your involvement is required, surely. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have been falling behind in ways, but this week you'll have the chance to catch up and perhaps take the lead, at least for a while. Efficiency increases.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A substitution may have to be made this week so that you can provide something close to what has been requested. Second-best may be more than good enough!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Something memorable is coming to an end this week, but never fear! It's likely to be replaced by something you'll enjoy even more. (March 6-March 20) -- One or two things prove all-important this week and give you good reason to turn away from the kinds of trivial efforts that have been taking up time of late.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A certain creative endeavor is more important to you this week than at any other time so far this year; you can make a great deal of headway. (April 5-April 19) -- Someone may be trying to stand in your way, but you are unusually quick to react and can maneuver around any obstacle that appears before you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You are afraid to put things in plain terms, as others may react in a fashion that slows your momentum. It's a risk you have to take! (May 6-May 20) -- The gravitational pull you feel from someone outside of your immediate circle will change how you do certain things this week. You're ready to give someone a chance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find yourself dealing with people this week who are not interested in putting their differences aside. Don't let this get you down!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're eager to see what a friend is up to, as you haven't been in touch for a while. This week, his or her activities likely mirror your own. (July 8-July 22) -- The quicker you swing into action the better, as you don't want to give the competition any time to figure out what advantage you have.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be happy to be able to tend to the same old things this week, as you don't yet feel ready to take on a certain new responsibility. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself missing the way things used to be done, even as you forge ahead and adopt new strategies and tactics. Someone has his or her eye on you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can share some highly specialized knowledge today, or you can keep it to yourself. The former path has greater potential right now. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What others are doing needn't affect you right now, even though it will prove interesting to you on an intellectual level. Don't become distracted!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can operate more efficiently this week provided you accept certain responsibilities while avoiding certain clear obstacles. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Someone makes an offer that is very difficult to refuse. Your know-how will be on display, and others will be drawn to you as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must be sure that the news you get this week is up-to-date. Your attention must be on what lies ahead, not what's behind you. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're tired of the same old things affecting you in the same old ways. You can make one or two dramatic changes that send you in a new direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can approach something in your signature way this week, but you must also consider someone else's methods as you address some new elements. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be wondering why things have to be so acrimonious at this time. Rather than think, why not do? You can be instrumental in easing tensions.
