ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need to develop realistic assessments of people so you can behave accordingly. You need to relax, meditate and become centered so you can behave at your best when others become difficult.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want to be honest with people about how you feel but you must also act with restraint and tact. It's important to connect emotionally with people while maintaining socially appropriate boundaries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are right to ask -- even demand -- answers. If you are feeling confused, misinformed or under-informed, assertively seek the best way to compel others to give you what you need to know.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need to learn how to maintain discipline without taking out the fun. You must supervise so that essentials of work and safety are met, while letting play be a rewarding behavior.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In relationships, you are rash and aggressive while others seek to exploit or mislead you. Don't escalate a tense situation; keep control of it and pull everyone (yourself included) to a sense of fairness and reason.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You give people personal attention while still staying detached and objective. You can help people see their situation from a different and helpful perspective. Strive for relationship stability.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You tend to ignore your own need to accomplish and place that responsibility on others. This can be OK if you are truly in the position of a teacher but is destructive if you're avoiding self-fulfillment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are very outgoing today; you bring enthusiasm to situations and a unique perspective. You're particularly effective in stalemates as you can see a way to break through the impasse.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are impatient to get going, just when you most need to slow down and start with deliberation and foresight. Planning is not a waste of time but enables you to act with surety and stable results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You effectively create plans for future progress. You are able to collect pieces of information necessary for your endeavors and put them together as a whole. You want forward momentum and certainty.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may experience a failure in competitive situations. You are given pause to reconsider your methods, if not your objectives. The ethical aspects of your activities are worth pondering.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The people around you are having problems but you have the ability to listen and help. You have little patience with people who simply want to vent; you want a resolution and an end to complaints.
