ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are apt to want people to make decisions for you or help you out. Go along with this if you cannot help it, but do not create or strengthen a position of dependency.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be very careful in business matters. Nothing is as it is represented; people have an agenda to get you to believe, and you need to step back and get more information, be more objective, to get the whole picture.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't waste time and effort in unwise endeavors. You can be struck by idealism now, but you also need to assess your chances of success. Your procedure, more than your ideals, need to become practical.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You feel a strong need for disclosure today. Secrets must be out, otherwise everyone will be at cross-purposes. If people hold back vital information as their ace in the hole, it will sabotage everyone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stand your ground when you know you are right, but relent when you are clearly wrong. Emotions are strong and can quickly build, so encourage being matter-of-fact and make it clear you want the best outcome.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You feel you have something to offer, but you have trouble finding takers. You need to be more clear-headed about business, or anything resembling a marketplace of ideas, skills or sales.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't lend your services to just anybody. Check for reliability, double-check references. Keep control of your creativity, time and income so you're not-short-changed or exploited.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can be at a disadvantage in competitive situations. You rely on trust but you are among schemers. If you cannot cope and cannot learn quickly, you may need to avoid those who cannot be upfront.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You avoid any sort of discipline because you fear it will inhibit creativity. Instead, value the kind of training that teaches you how to use tools, so you can be a batter artist or thinker.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are in a position of advantage, but you must use this responsibly. You may know more than most, but this does not give you license to meddle. You have more power, but do not try to control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are challenged to try harder and think better. You're prone to think that others ought to do things for you, hand over what you need to know. You must take responsibility to discover, to reason, to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make an extra effort to stay honest in word and deed, in the strictest possible way. Careless, unfounded speculation can still have devastating results. Speak as if everyone takes you literally and honestly.
