Aries
The more you plan ahead, the easier it will be to complete the necessary tasks of the day. If you're going shopping, call the store ahead of time to make sure they have what you need, and if you're planning on visiting someone who lives a good distance from you, it's important to find out if they'll be there before you actually hit the road. Thinking things through will save you a lot of time in the long run, which is a good thing because you really don't have much of it to spare. If you can't perform an important activity by yourself, don't be afraid to ask for help. Your friends are more than willing to help you out of a bind.

Taurus
Someone is trying to get your attention, but they might be going about it in the entirely wrong way. You don't like to be embarrassed or singled out in public, and the person who does either of these is bound to irritate, not impress, you. The worst thing you can do is let them know they're getting to you. All you have to do is look the other way, move to another seat or leave the area entirely, and they will get the picture. Entering into discussions or arguments with people who clearly are out to rile you up will serve much more harm than good. If there was ever a time to turn the other cheek and remain silent, this is it.
Back
Gemini
An encounter with someone you've never met or something you've never been exposed to opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Don't let the unusual or strange frighten you -- this is a time to open your mind and to give new experiences the chance to change you. Listen closely when someone new tells you about their life experience, especially if what they have learned can be applied to one or more areas of your own life. Intellectual conversations hold your attention much longer than trivial ones do, and by the time you're finished discussing the topic at hand, you might just walk away with an entirely new outlook on life.

Cancer
You have to find a way to be a little more flexible, Cancer. Yes, you have a lot on your mind, but refusing to go along with someone else's plan simply on principal isn't very helpful or reasonable. If you can manage to take one minute out of your busy schedule to really listen to what the other person is trying to tell you, you might just save yourself some time in the long run. No one is trying to complicate your day, and the more you insist on reacting in an emotional manner, the less productive you're going to be. Take a deep breath and look at the situation a little more logically.
Back
Leo
Where there's a problem, you have the ability to come up with a viable solution. Once you use your amazing skills of deduction to come to the final conclusion of an issue, everyone else will have to admit that they were wrong, and there's nothing you love more than feeling superior in a group of intellectuals! Of course, the right answer might not always be on the tip of your tongue, and that's okay. Be patient while you wait for your brain to wrap itself around the situation. By day's end, all of the problems you worried about yesterday will have been solved and you will be free to focus your energy on more exciting, less stressful events.
Back
Virgo
Is everything where it should be? Probably not. If you look around your room, house or office space and see a big mess, you need to spend some time cleaning, organizing and throwing away things that are no longer of use. Although it might be difficult to take a new approach to routine tasks such as these, you could definitely benefit from putting a couple of new systems into place. Look carefully at the things that aren't currently working in your favor, and then find a way to make improvements. Someone in your family or at your office might have an ingenious solution to your most perplexing organizational problem, so be sure to listen to advice when it is given.
Back
Libra
Let your creative spirit come out to play. You can have a good time doing just about anything and your imaginative outlook makes even the most boring events and tasks seem more exciting than ever! Get a group of friends together and go to an art museum or see a play or a movie in order to spark your inner creativity. If you're really feeling artistic, maybe you could try to create an original piece of artwork of your own. You don't have to use expensive materials in order to produce something wonderful, Libra. A piece of paper, a chunk of clay or a paintbrush all turn into something magical in your hands.

Sagittarius
Every conversation you have is an excellent opportunity for you to learn something new, or to teach someone else something. You have an extremely easy time coming up with original things to say right now, and it isn't difficult for you to talk to total strangers either. It isn't every day that you get the chance to make new connections, exchange ideas and discuss the issues that are most important to you, so be sure to take advantage of each situation that allows you to do so. It's important to keep in mind, however, that although you have an especially open mind when it comes to controversial topics, everyone else might not.

Capricorn
The Goat needs a change of pace. If you've been feeling a little claustrophobic or stagnant lately, this is a good time to get the ball rolling on some new projects. If you're tempted to change your style of dress or the way you wear your hair, no one is stopping you, but you might not want to make any drastic or irreversible changes in case you change your mind about it later. Other people are liable to give you their input, but unless you have reason to believe that they truly have your best interest at heart, you should take their words with a grain of salt. Tricksters and pranksters easily find their way to your door, but you aren't obliged to let them in.
Back
Aquarius
You know that you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. Instigating change is foremost on your mind, and you have the advanced ideas necessary to implement even the most difficult processes and procedures. Call on the smartest person in your group of intellectual friends to be your partner in crime today. Although you don't need the help to get the job done, it will be fun to stand back and admire the things you have created with someone who can truly appreciate the complexity of the task you took on. Someday the whole world may hear of your abilities, but right now it's enough that only you know what you're capable of.
