Aries
It's an emotional time right now, and it won't do you any good to try to hide it. The only folks around today are family, anyway -- and they've all seen you lose your cool a time or two before! Try to channel the energy of your most accomplished relative to help you through this trying time -- and don't forget to thank them when you've finished up the job!!
Back
Taurus
An armored tank couldn't budge you right now -- you're sittin' pretty and you're right where you want to be! Just make sure you're being clear about exactly how and what you're doing, because a cool-as-a-cucumber attitude can be misinterpreted as you thinking you're all that and a bag of chips. Letting that certain someone know what's going on with you will get a good response back -- so go for it!
Back
Gemini
It's a tight time where the pocketbook is concerned, so don't go dropping a bundle on frivolous expenditures -- not with cupboards as bare as yours are! Your mind is rather preoccupied with what you don't have instead of what you have -- so it's not really a surprise when your sweetheart wants to know why you've been ignoring them. Let them take you out to dinner so you can explain!
Back
Cancer
You're not in the mood to take any sass from anybody today -- and the look on your face tells the story to anyone seeing you pass by. It's no wonder everyone's getting out of your way! The spotlight is on you right now, and that's a lot of pressure for someone in your position, but don't let the weight of people's expectations bring you down. Keep a close watch on your emotions, and move where they lead you.
Back
Leo
Your pride might take a serious blow today -- and even if it doesn't, you're so worried about getting it dented that you take everything super-seriously. Not every little thing everyone says is about you, so try not to be so sensitive -- you'll welcome the relief! You honestly only want what's best, so keep working toward that goal -- and if your ego takes a bruising, so be it.
Back
Virgo
You've been spending so much time inside your head that you've practically forgotten how to communicate with the people around you. Well, it's time to get back to the basics -- so watch and learn! Try to focus on the social aspects of your life instead of the more internal, personal issues -- you'll find you draw both energy and good vibes from the human contact.
Back
Libra
Things are hurtling at your head at top speeds today, so 'duck and cover' should be your mantra for right now. This doesn't mean you need to bury your head in the sand and pretend the outside world doesn't exist, but it should be your cue to stay inwardly focused for a little while. Take a closer look at the small things -- you can peek out at the big picture later on, when you're feeling more emotionally stable.
Back
Scorpio
You'll find yourself falling unconsciously into deep conversation after deep conversation today. It's as if every time you start talking, the topics become more and more intense. You couldn't satisfy yourself with just brushing the surface if your life depended on it! It's no use trying to control the situation though, so you might as well go with the flow -- and who knows, you might learn something about yourself you never knew!
Back
Sagittarius
You're going it alone today, even though you're surrounded by people -- it's just that nobody seems to be on your same wavelength. Try to stay flexible, so that you can change your schemes and plans at the last moment; you'll also be more open to new ideas than if you were sticking to any one particular modus operandi. Whatever your goal, the best way to get there is to follow your mood -- that way there's no internal resistance.
Back
Capricorn
Looking around the room this morning and realizing you'd rather be just about anywhere else isn't necessarily the kiss of death for your current situation. Rather, it's a wake-up call to what you're really interested in pursuing. It's hard to follow the same path for a long time, as your personality and dreams change over time -- so periodic reevaluations are a great way to keep your journey relevant.
Back
Aquarius
Your responsibilities are weighing you down right now, but letting them fall by the wayside won't make you feel any better -- the number of issues isn't the problem. It's how you feel about the load you carry that makes it seem unbearable -- so all you need is an attitude adjustment, not a chiropractic one. Don't let your emotional tendencies overemphasize the tasks on your plate; just keep on moving forward.
Back
Pisces
It's a great day to be a Fish, and a terrific day to be a Fish in love! The feeling is shared by that certain someone, too -- so don't be shy and keep all of those emotions under wraps. Let them know how you feel! It's a fun time right now, full of good moods and whirlwind-type romance -- so it's no surprise that you're both totally enchanted. Enjoy it while it lasts, and try to keep the feeling going as long as you can.
