Aries:

If you hit the ground running, you're sure to get a huge jump on the competition. Just remember than in this race, what counts isn't how quickly you end up at the finish line, but how long you can keep up your pace. So remember to ration your energy when necessary -- if you feel yourself starting to flag, take a time-out. Bring it down to a walk. Sip some water. Then jump back in and give it all you've got.



Taurus:

Take yourself out on an escapade. How long has it been since you just had a long, lazy, lovely day all to yourself? If you can't drop everything right this minute, at the very least get out your calendar and pick a day in the very near future that is just for you -- that's right, no family, friends or sweethearts allowed. Start planning what you want to do on this day of total rest and relaxation. Don't you feel better already?



Gemini:

Do do that voodoo that you do so well -- especially when it comes to you-know-who. Whether you're 'just' interested in a certain someone or are looking for a way to light a fire under a current romance, the remedy you need is well within reach -- i.e., yourself. Bring on both barrels when it comes to charm and persuasiveness. You've got those qualities in spades, so don't be shy about using them to your advantage right now.



Cancer:

Everyone has issues, sure, but someone you know might have so many that it practically adds up to a subscription. While you want to be the best friend, relative or sweetie you can, you can't solve their problems for them -- so stop trying. It will just end up making you both more stressed out in the end. What you can do is be supportive, sympathetic and attentive -- and most importantly, have a little faith that they'll find their way through this.



Leo:

Innovation is your middle name. That's why you've become the go-to gal or guy for problem solving amongst your crew. This current situation might be a toughie, but don't give up -- it can't stump you for long. Try bouncing your ideas off a trusted friend or colleague -- sometimes brainstorming is exactly what the doctor ordered. Lots of input could take an idea from ho-hum to va-va-va-voom!



Virgo:

You get a gold medal in the Olympics of charm, and with hardly any work on your part either. The heavens have put an amplifier and some serious base on your not-insignificant charisma, and it's attracting attention in droves. Wherever you go, people stop to listen. So if there's something at work or elsewhere you've been desiring influence, now's the time. Your opinion is worth its weight in gold.



Libra:

Seriously, how cute are you? Whatever you're doing these days is working -- you've got the look, and how. People can't help but notice when you're in the immediate vicinity. So go ahead and work that magic of yours to its fullest extent -- especially when it comes to you-know-who. Like a powerful magnet, all you have to do is point yourself in the right direction, and all the right elements will come calling.



Scorpio:

There's a way to express what's in your heart without going overboard. The first thing to do is examine your motives -- are they entirely altruistic, or are there perhaps some hidden influences that should be examined before you speak your piece? If the latter case is true, sit down and get some clarity before you start talking, otherwise your audience may need a life preserver in order not to drown in your verbiage.



Sagittarius:

Lay the groundwork for something monumental. At times like these, which are relatively easygoing for you, it's a good idea to start thinking about some of your larger goals and hopes and how you can go about achieving them. And that old saying about Rome not being built in a day is truer than you think, but you can at least get started on what you want your city to look like ....



Capricorn:

It's a great day to get a fresh start. You can leave the small stuff for later -- for now, focus on getting your plans off the ground and getting to know people who share your goals and could help you later on down the road. Go for broad brushstrokes and general outlines. Jot down all the fine details that you'll need to take care of later, and that way your conscience will be clear.



Aquarius:

Connections can happen in the most unexpected places if you let them, so keep your eyes and ears (and mind) open. Someone different from your usual could come along, and they could enrich your life in ways that you didn't even think were possible. Now, don't go and try and predict who it'll be or what they'll be like. Let the universe do all the work on this one.



Pisces:

You need to kick something to the curb before you can get a fresh start. Maybe it's literal (do you really need to keep every pair of running shoes you've owned since you were sixteen?), or maybe it's metaphorical (why do I still keep thinking about my first love?). Maybe (probably) it's both. Get your broom and vacuum and get started cleaning out all those dusty corners. It's time to make room for the new.
