ARIES (March 21-April 19): The way out of a vicious cycle is to put others first. In a frustrating tug-of-war between wills, you need not relent if you are putting the highest good before ego and selfish ambition.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You pay extra attention to details now, correcting what's wrong, keeping what's right, and throwing out what's bad. You can be a warrior for the truth now, but don't be blinded by excessive passion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Making any progress, or even maintaining position, requires a lot of care and attention. Something you like must give way for something really important. Prioritize what's valuable to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are direct today, and people have no doubt about how you feel. However, don't come on too strong. You're challenged to express yourself just enough to get your point across, but not excessively so.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When you think you're standing on principle, consider that you're more likely standing on ego. Somewhere, there is a vested interest you don't want to lose. You're challenged to let go of this for the sake of others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are motivated to be more diligent and assertive. The threat of loved ones doing with less than the best is a strong motivator. You have a vague fear that your goals will not be realized, so you try harder.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are challenged to maintain an independent opinion without being disloyal, to maintain important personal connections without simply being lost anonymously in the crowd.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are challenged to maintain long-distance contacts. Philosophic disagreements are sharp, so you are challenged to find a thread of common interest to hold together people or organizations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are feeling proud, but do not let this become arrogance. Don't dominate weaker ones, especially children. You should put them under your care, cultivate a sense of compassion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): So much of your attention is placed on winning, that you have trouble dealing with victory: Then what? Don't invest so much importance on the struggle; think ahead to another project to start.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your strong desire to achieve your own goals can make you have a poor opinion of others when they don't share it. Not everyone can agree with you or be actively supportive. Don't hold others back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are energetic and motivated, but you could burn yourself out early. Adopt a steady pace and save strong effort for when it's needed. Don't yield to pointless competitiveness.
