ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

Be open to a change in plans.  You could find something more worthwhile than what you initially set out to achieve.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

Keep in mind that it takes a few tries to get something right.  This isn't an exercise in futility.  It's called learning something new.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Just when you thought you had faded into the woodwork, you're singled out for praise.  This revives flagging spirits.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

You may not be looking, but people are certainly responding as if you were. Enjoy the attention.  And if someone catches your eye . . . who knows?

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

You said you'd be there when needed and now you're needed. What you deliver will be above and beyond the call of duty.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Past shortcuts come back to haunt you.  Thankfully you can still backtrack and do what should have been done the first time. Let this be a lesson for you in the future.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

There are big plans in store for you at work, but don't try to second guess them.  Wait and see what a boss or manager has to say first.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Why insist on a home run when you can bunt? Though not as showy, at least you get to first base. It's all you need to stay in the game.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You need to tie up a loose end because you won't have any peace of mind as long as it's left dangling. Plus you need to focus on the future now.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

You put a lot of time into spadework and it's paying off.  Don't stop now.  Build on your momentum and you'll take things to the next level.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

It's annoying when people don't stick with the program, but maybe you need to be more flexible?  Programs have been known to change and you don't want to be a stick in the mud.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

You get your answer, but it's more of a riddle than a definitive yes or no. You're intrigued and this is what will renew your interest and drive.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

You don't have to believe in something to make it happen.  Sometimes things happen by themselves.  Let nature take its course. You may be pleasantly surprised.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

If you have to correct the way people give advice (like their wording or "tone"), then you're not ready to hear it.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Going back and forth gets you nowhere fast.  Tell the other party you don't buy what s/he says, but you're willing to be proven wrong.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Thank heavens you're naturally empathetic.  Your sense that there's an emotional storm brewing allows you to defuse tensions in a timely manner.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Don't be so eager to lock in terms.  Not when the Sun sextiles Pluto. Be non-committal and watch the other party pursue you for a change.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

At first it feels like you've been left holding the bag, but crisis also brings opportunity.  You finally have a chance to show off what you can do.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Every big decision is made up of hundreds of tiny ones.  If anyone can connect the dots and see the grand design - it's you.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Your need to win is blinding you to what you stand to gain.  Take your pride off the table and you'll wind up with the entire smorgasbord.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

Covering for someone seems noble, but think again.  Why perpetuate a no-win situation that you could happily live without?

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

The terms of an agreement aren't as rigid as all that.  There is some wiggle room.  Keep up the back-and-forth and you'll find a way to make it work.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

An offhand remark sets you off today.  Is this person being underhanded?  Or are you being overwrought?  Chances are it's a mix of both.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Everyone feels the urge to reinvent themselves, but don't go too far. Test drive the "new" you with friends to see if you're still recognizable.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

There are different ways to achieve your objective and two of them are less risky than your current course.  It's never too late to explore alternatives.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

Keep in mind this simple rule about trade-offs.  If they're not getting you closer to what you want then you're trading down and not trading up.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Each person's perspective contains a pearl of wisdom, but this only becomes apparent when you string them all together.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

You played tough cop because you had to, but now it looks like people are starting to believe that you're as hard-hearted as you sound.  It's time to soften the rhetoric.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Keep tabs on your voicemail today.  An important piece of correspondence could move you from the minus to the plus column.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Sometimes it's hard to keep emotions and business separate, but let yourself express what you really feel today.  It helps to show a human face.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Tensions disperse thanks to a last minute compromise.  You'll see cordiality return now that everyone has something to gain.

Your expectation of friendships is changing.  Impatient with empty calorie exchanges, you're eager to connect with those who truly get you.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You could grow old waiting for circumstances to align in just the right way.  Get on out there and move them into place.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Switch focus from long-term plans to short range goals.  You'll soon see how small steps add up to one great stride forward.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

You're too caught up in all the possible outcomes.  Pick one action step and focus on that.  This gets mental wheels moving again.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

A slip of the tongue or malaprop provides the answer you've been looking for.  The unconscious has its own way of making its message clear.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

Are you making a grab for more than your fair share? It looks it. Don't be piggy. There's more than enough to go around.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

Are you truly invested in the current turf war? It's worth asking when the Moon conjoins Mars in Taurus. Find a way to unlock horns. 

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Your refusal to let go of a grievance could cost. Everyone has to make sacrifices and it's time for you to make yours.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

It looks like you're walking in on a drama already in progress. Ease tempers as best you can with your folksy, easygoing approach.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Aspiration is a pure upward desire for excellence while ambition can describe an inflamed desire to surpass others just to surpass them. Decide which camp you fall into today.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

You think it's about the principle of the matter but it's really just about winning at all costs. Don't let pride go before a great fall.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

You can't make a decision without all the pertinent information. Keep asking questions. You need to get to the bottom of what ails.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

One of you needs to bring light, not heat to the situation. Be the bigger person and look for ways to work together. It means a lot coming from you.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You can't just wake up one morning and decide that this is the first day of the rest of your life. You need to work with what's already in progress if you want a change to take.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

You may not feel like running an idea past friends but they have more to contribute than you think.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Are you bringing resentments home with you at the end of the day? It's always something to be aware of when Mars is in Taurus. What happens at the office stays at the office.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

It looks like you've outgrown your current circumstances. It's time to move to a new location – or a bigger pot.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

Things have been bumpy lately, but don't call it quits. Creative collaborations are supposed to be volatile.  That's what makes them creative.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

It isn't easy going back to the drawing board, but you'll see how redrafting a game plan from start to finish puts you on the path to success.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Last minute developments could leave you scrambling, so tread carefully thru next week.  Stay non-committal because loopholes are your friends.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

It's true that the prize that dangles out of reach is the very thing that forces you to grow.  But just make sure it isn't too much of a stretch.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

It's time to address a concern left dangling since last fall.  You'll be glad to know entrenched positions have changed and people want to move forward.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Why not get paid doing something you enjoy?  A favorite hobby has all the makings of a lucrative enterprise. Now come up with a business plan.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Your current obstacle may cause you a lot of aggravation, but it also pushes you to go beyond stock answers and to explore something new.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

You know a colleague is out of his depth, but lend a hand anyway. One day he'll be there for you when you need it.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Don't exhaust yourself struggling with a problem.  If anything the delay it's causing works in your favor.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

It may feel like you're falling behind, but that's your high expectations talking.  You're moving along at a clipped pace.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Most people wouldn't have stood by an association, but you've always been able to spot a diamond in the rough.  Your judgment call pays off big today.
