Aries:

Tom Sawyer used to do it. So did Einstein, for that matter. What exactly did they do, you ask? Ask their dreams for guidance. So if there's a complex conundrum that's weighing on your mind, now is the time to plumb the depths of your subconscious for an answer. Keep a pen and paper by your bedside to jot down any midnight realizations. Hey, if it's good enough for old Al ....



Taurus:

Why is it easier for you to believe that something bad can happen in your life, but so difficult to believe in your good fortune? That's the real question to ask yourself right now. You've got all the potential in the world, but in order to really see it come to fruition, you have to believe not only that you have it, but that the universe wants to see you shine. Rather than questioning your circumstances, look inside yourself for answers.



Gemini:

Like a very strong cup of tea, there have been some big changes a-brewin' in your life. Now the question is whether you're going to drink them straight, or perhaps add a little cream and sugar to the mix to make it all go down more easily. The stars say to go for the second option -- call your friends, your family, whoever your pit crew is -- and get their help. It'll make everything ever so much easier.



Cancer:

Keep a close watch on that heart of yours. It's a very valuable object, and doesn't appreciate being tossed around lightly. So if you're thinking of leaping into something (or someone) on a mad impulse or because it seems like a good idea at the time, why not ask the thing you're risking how it feels about the whole enterprise? That's right -- get quiet and check in with your heart about what to do next. What you hear might surprise you.



Leo:

Giving up on your dreams is not an option at this stage of the game. Whatever setback may have occurred, it doesn't mean that your goals and ambitions are kaput. What it actually signifies is that your path may have a few more twists and turns than you originally expected. So no matter what, hang onto your high hopes, because they haven't been dashed -- they're just behind a curtain, doing a quick costume change.



Virgo:

Pounding away at a problem like a hammer going at a stubborn nail might not help -- and, in fact, could make things a lot worse. (Ever hit your thumb with a hammer? Ouch!) Your dynamic and forceful personality doesn't take well to just sitting and being, but that's exactly what you need to do in this (and many) situations. It's a skill that once learned will come in handy in many instances. So why not let the cosmos do its job and work things out?



Libra:

It's so easy to be critical of the way you look, but it accomplishes nothing -- and the criticisms you voice probably aren't true. You need to stop seeing flaws that aren't there and grasp the things that are real, but not quite as tangible as what you see in the mirror. Like what, you ask? Well, your kindness, for once. Your spirit. Your willingness to help other people. What your mom said is true -- loveliness comes from within. So start seeing how beautiful you are where it counts.



Scorpio:

Creativity shouldn't be confined. Creativity can -- and should -- come into play in every single aspect of your life. What can you do to make sure that you give your imagination space to live and grow? Be playful, be open and be free. If necessary, get yourself to a playground and play on the swings for a few minutes. That feeling as you're soaring through the air? That's the kind of thing that will stimulate your imagination post-haste.



Sagittarius:

Someone close to you may be in a mood to spill some secrets, but remember -- they're for your ears and eyes only. No matter how tempting it is to call your best friend or sweetie and spill -- don't. First of all, you're much more trustworthy than that, and second of all, what goes around comes around. They've confided something in you -- and only you -- for a reason. So bite your tongue and don't give in to the temptation to talk.



Capricorn:

Communication doesn't just have to mean words, you know. There are a million others ways to get across to other people what's in your heart. If you give yourself enough time and space, you can think of a few that bear your unique imprint. Go ahead and try them out on your nearest and dearest -- the stars guarantee that they'll be impressed with your innovations.



Aquarius:

Going off the beaten track is one of your favorite things, and you'll have plenty of chances for discovering delightful tangents right now. Make sure that you don't get too far from the main highway, however -- there are certain places you have to stop and some mileage you have to cover, no matter how charming some of the roadside attractions are. Check your itinerary regularly.



Pisces:

Lavish yourself with massive quantities of self-care. It's easy to get caught up in a cycle of doing, doing, doing, and forget what it's like to just be. So call up some friends you haven't seen in ages and insist on a frivolous, no itinerary, no point whatsoever free-for-all at the state fair. Go outside and play in the sprinklers wearing a silly hat. You just wanna have fun, and the stars second that emotion.
