ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- An overreaction on your part early in the day may set things on a strange trajectory. When the time comes, you'll want to make amends in any way you can. (April 5-April 19) -- You may get weird vibes from someone who has only recently appeared on the scene. You're going to want to give this person the benefit of the doubt -- for a while.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're likely to experience a first of some kind early in the week, and sharing with those around you may well make it more enjoyable than it was initially. (May 6-May 20) -- A situation is likely to arise toward midweek that will require you to take steps that someone else might be better positioned to take. It's up to you, like it or not.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have to tread lightly at times this week in order to avoid a run-in with someone who is primed to take things personally. This isn't about you. (June 7-June 20) -- Be sure to clean up any messes you make this week so you don't leave others with any extra chores. Common courtesy can go a long way; employ it liberally!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- It may not be up to you to get things in shape this week -- and even if it were, your intentions may lead to something that differs from the norm. (July 8-July 22) -- A little extra something this week can really make a difference -- but take care that you don't apply too much of a good thing, which can cause a reversal of fortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have to go 'round and 'round with someone this week simply to make a point that should have been clear to begin with. You may say "I told you so!" (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It'll be up to you this week to get to the root of a problem, but once you discover what the issue really is, you may find that it can lead to one or two colorful changes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The bigger, the better this week, according to some -- but you're likely to find that a little of something you dearly love can go a long way. Don't overindulge! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may think that you can run off and do what you want without answering to anyone else but, in fact, you can't -- not now, anyway. You must follow some of the rules.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may begin the week feeling a little blue, but by focusing on that which can sweeten a certain bargain, you'll restore your spirits and recharge your purse. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You cannot get the best results this week by doing what you did before -- and you know it. You must break recent habits and do something that is almost entirely new.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may be accused of doing that which you would never do, but defending yourself may prove more difficult than expected because of a communication lapse. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're going to get a certain project finished this week only if you have the help of those who know what's really at stake. Be direct and tell them what you need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You must be sure that all reporting to others is timely and accurate this week. Outdated information is only going to set you and others back. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You don't want to do anything this week that will make others wonder if you're up to the job you've been assigned. Go about your business with as little fanfare as possible.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself facing a situation this week that you've spent a great deal of time trying to avoid. You do have what it takes to prevail, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to go through many careful calculations as you prepare for the day -- but take care you don't lose sight of a considerable emotional component. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Others need to know what you know in order to do their work, but are you willing to share everything simply to make their lives easier this week? Consider carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can't rely on a machine to do what only a human being can do. It may fall to you to step forward and take responsibility for what must be done.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may think your work is done when you still have several important things yet to do -- and throughout the week, you'll encounter several key reminders. (April 5-April 19) -- A collaboration may begin early in the week that you cannot sustain later on for reasons that are entirely your own. You must try to find your new team.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's absolutely essential this week that you uncover insecurities before you're able to take a step in a new direction. Certain fears cannot be jettisoned. (May 6-May 20) -- You're in for quite a ride this week if you follow in a certain someone's footsteps -- or, if possible, accompany them side-by-side. A tandem journey is likely best.

(July 8-July 22) -- You cannot afford to lose interest this week, as you must remain engaged in what you started. You needn't finish at this time, but you must certainly keep going.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your own solo efforts are likely to bet better results this week than the work others do in groups. You may not be wholly aware of what's at stake -- just yet. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Get past a point of tension early in the week and you'll be home free -- at least as far as friends and family members are concerned. This may be repeated later on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to do something routine in a place that is new to you, so you must pay close attention to any and all opportunities that do and don't arise. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Technical aids may not be available to you at some point this week, but a memory of how you surmounted a certain obstacle in the past will be useful to you now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be quite keen on being free and unfettered in any way, but you're going to have to work within certain structures this week, like it or not.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may find this week that a decision you are loath to make is actually quite popular when it's put into practice. This leads you in a different direction. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be tempted by a lot when a little is really best for you this week. Give yourself what you really need, know when it's enough and share it with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to put up with something that gets in your way more than once this week even as you plan for something big. You're not entirely in charge! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Don't let a distraction keep you from doing what you must, especially early in the week. You'll come to a better understanding of how your unique manner gets things done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You've got something quite remarkable to do this week, and you can be successful so long as you have your priorities solidly in order. Avoid guesswork. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can learn a great deal from someone who, only recently, was one of your own pupils. Things change this week, so you will want to embrace as much as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Experimentation may be a large part of your week, and you may have trouble dividing your efforts into individual categories. What are you really doing? (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can have a major impact this week even working in the background; you don't have to step forward until you know it's safe to do so. Emotions may be running high.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A study of the way things have been will serve you well this week as you try to get something new underway. You can make good use of happy accidents. (March 6-March 20) -- You can help another enjoy something that would otherwise be quite trying this week, but know that you're going to have to absorb a certain amount of personal punishment.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may not be comfortable doing what must be done this week, but you can do it in such a way that it doesn't have to be redone anytime soon. (April 5-April 19) -- Are you more interested in keeping up with ever-changing styles, or does a more conservative approach serve your purposes this week? You must first know what you really want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your needs this week may have to take second place to the needs of someone whose care will likely be in your hands -- at least temporarily. Do what is necessary. (May 6-May 20) -- The guidance you get from a trusted adviser may not be as valuable to you this week as what you see a newcomer doing. You will likely choose to follow that lead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's a good week to implement something new that promises to push you ahead at a faster pace. You must be ready to take advantage of fleeting opportunities. (June 7-June 20) -- Doing what doesn't come naturally to you this week will benefit you in ways that you cannot yet fully understand -- but it'll be worth staying the course for a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Meetings of all kinds may seem a waste of time and energy, but you never know when a piece of information will be shared that makes all the difference to you. (July 8-July 22) -- Don't make the mistake of thinking that your way is the only way this week. Everyone's methods will be effective to some degree, so which is really best for you?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Recognizing a good idea where you see one is a trait that can serve you well throughout the week. Don't assume only the veterans will have valid ideas! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can do much to ease tensions at home or at the workplace this week, but you'll have to approach the central issues very delicately indeed. Tread lightly at all times!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to revisit a situation this week that you thought had been permanently resolved -- but, clearly, you made an overly hasty judgement. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Up-to-date information will be necessary every step of the way this week as you try to assemble a team that is fully equipped to deal with something fast approaching.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- A personal enemy is likely to reappear this week and challenge you in a way that you haven't been challenged in many a moon. You've learned much since then! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Progress this week is contingent upon the timely application of new lessons -- some even immediately upon learning them. Now is no time for a leisurely approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your progress at the workplace will be quickly recognized this week by those who are in a position to do you good in times to come. Ask for what you want! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can soar above the common fray this week and do things in a manner that separates you from those who have no clear idea of what can be done at this time. You do, surely!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- The complications that arise this week can prove daunting, or they can provide lessons you can carry into future endeavors. The choice is yours. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Pay attention to how others are addressing their own personal challenges, and you’ll be inspired to address yours in a way that can liberate you in a new, exciting way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Focus on the things that get a rise out of you, and you'll be dealing directly with things that really matter. Even a negative response can be valuable. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's a good time to break a bad habit, provided you can fill the void with something that is far more positive and doesn't present you with repeated challenges.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You are eager to make contact with someone who seems better equipped to deal with what transpires this week. Now is a good time for learning lessons. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Take care that you don't present yourself to a rival as weak or vulnerable. Even if you have to pretend, do your best to come across as capable and ready for what comes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- What you do around the home will energize you and prepare you for something you don't expect when you are out and about. You'll be ready, surely! (March 6-March 20) -- The end of an era may be just around the corner, and this week you'll want to put your all into anything you do before you are compelled to move on to something else.
