ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A look back at a past indiscretion need not result in any further embarrassment this week. Rather, it can help you make a key personal decision. (April 5-April 19) -- As time passes this week, you'll become more and more aware of how you compare to someone you've long admired. It's time to step up and do what you're meant to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Important events this week needn't affect you any longer than they do anyone else. You must be ready to move on to greater things when the time comes. (May 6-May 20) -- You may find yourself playing the central role in a comedy of errors this week. This means, of course, that you'll likely be seen as both the clown and the hero, in turns.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You must employ precisely the kind of discipline this week that you insist others do -- and you may find yourself serving as an important role model. (June 7-June 20) -- Now is no time to let your fears get the better of you. The danger you face right now is nowhere near as threatening as you imagine it to be, so get ready to face it!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You've been trying to work a deal with someone for quite a while, but this week the reality is likely to set in: It's not possible the way it's been going. (July 8-July 22) -- You're dealing with something that hasn't yet come to a head, but it may well do just that this week. Are you ready to take things in something of a new direction?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Take a good look this week at someone who does things in a very different way and you'll come to the valuable realization that your way isn't the only way.

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What you recognize in the patterns that develop this week will give you much to think about. Turn your attention to something you've not focused on in quite a while.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You certainly don't want to sacrifice comfort or well-being at this time, but you're going to have to face something this week that may threaten both.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Something that was working for you quite well isn't likely to yield the same results this week. You may be prompted to look elsewhere for the same kind of support.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Seek and ye shall find this week -- and what you come upon may prove quite surprising, especially with regard to its personal relevance. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- By trying to do what someone tells you to do, you're likely to discover what it is you're meant to be doing now and in the foreseeable future. Be sure to follow where this leads.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You cannot afford to overlook the little things this week. Decisions you make must be based on a comprehensive understanding of all the issues at play. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not have as much on the line this week as you had supposed, but that doesn’t mean you can indulge in any laziness. You have time-sensitive things to do, surely.

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!"

(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.

(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.

(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.

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.

(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.

(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.

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.

(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.

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.
