PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- What you share with a rival is likely to be far more important to you both this week than any differences that have evolved over time. Try working together. (March 6-March 20) -- Any secrets you tell this week are likely to come back to haunt you, so it's very important right now that you keep things to yourself. You'll soon be able to share!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- An attempt to be original this week may amount to putting the cart before the horse. Think about what has to be done before considering how to do it. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It may be time for you to make reparations to another who has been waiting for you to acknowledge what you've done. You can do much to heal a damaged relationship.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll have some time on your hands this week that you can fill with activities that add up to much more than the sum of their parts. What are you trying to accomplish?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Someone's attempts to get in touch with you this week are likely to drive you in a new direction, but not entirely because it's where you want to go.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It may be time for you to abandon a long-time practice in favor of that which is more readily accepted by more people. There's no need to fight against current trends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be thinking that you can get further today by doing things that someone else has found successful -- but doing your own thing is the best bet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- It’s a good week to rely on an old favorite to see you through, whether it be a person, a thing or an attitude -- or you can benefit from all three! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You’re likely to realize that you’re sitting pretty this week in comparison to some others, and that will inspire you to help out in a way that is unique to you.
