Aries:

You've decided to give yourself exactly what you need -- which might be a change of scenery and some new people and experiences to enjoy. Still, you're duty-bound to make sure everything at home will run without a hitch in your absence. So before you board that plane or hop in your car, be sure the person you trust most is in charge of everything. You won't be able to enjoy yourself or concentrate on the task at hand if you don't.



Taurus:

For some reason, you've been thinking a lot lately about either going back to school on a regular basis or just taking a class or two that will add to your already impressive resume. Of course, anything that you can do to add to your skills is a good idea, but if you happen to be in the mood to do it, so much the better. So while you have both the enthusiasm and a good reason to do it, why not at least investigate?



Gemini:

You do love to chat -- there's no arguing that fact. But the one thing you actually love more is taking action. So now that you can see the possibility of making a positive change happen, you're eager to do something about it -- not to just talk about it. If you'll be acting with a partner and they're doing more talking than planning, see what you can do to get the show on the road. Otherwise, you may have to start planning a solo venture.



Cancer:

Relationships are complicated. There's just no way they can't be. So when someone comes along who's very different from us, we often spend more time than we probably should worrying about those differences -- rather than concentrating on all the wonderful things we have in common. Don't let that happen to you now. There's someone in your life who could well end up being there for a good long while. Focus on the positives.



Leo:

The best part of socializing with your peers is that you often run into people who are on the same career path -- or on paths that necessarily cross every now and then. You've had several encounters along those lines lately, and it's just dawned on you that one of them might be mutually beneficial. Give them a call, and see if they're on the same page. Bet they are -- or they'll know someone who is.



Virgo:

Being brazen has its advantages. First of all, it's extremely appealing to prospective suitors and an absolute magnet for friends. It's fire, and whether it's in a fireplace or a person's attitude doesn't matter. That famously hypnotic quality is still there. Someone who wants to woo you, for a variety of reasons, will show you more than a little bit of fire right now, and you'll find it quite appealing. Play the game, though. Don't let on just yet.



Libra:

Every so often, you wake up and find yourself smack dab in the middle of a day where everyone seems to be out for one thing and one thing only: to be pleasant to each other, which is the way you are every day. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, your peaceful soul just loves it. This is one of those days. For the first time in a while, you may actually feel like you're living on a planet with kindred spirits.



Scorpio:

When it comes time to tell someone a secret, most people who know you turn to you, for several reasons. First off, it takes quite a bit to shock you. Second, you're completely trustworthy -- and also quite wise. So when a sibling or neighbor approaches you now with that look on their face, you'll know immediately what's needed. Invite them in, make some coffee and unplug the phone. This could take a while.



Sagittarius:

You'd much rather spend money than keep track of it. In your mind, that's what monthly bank statements are for -- and that's why the heavens invented accountants. At the moment, however, you may need to take stock of some finances yourself. If you're not fond of numbers, it won't be a good time, so give yourself some incentive to get through this -- a reward that you absolutely can't have until the project is done. No cheating.



Capricorn:

After dealing with someone else's secrets lately, you're all warmed up to deal with your own. Right? Well, if you're not, the least you can do for yourself is to find someone who you not only trust implicitly, but whose advice and counsel you know in your heart is solid and reliable. The tough part is that you're usually the person everyone else turns to for just those things. Someone had to teach you those traits, though. Call them.



Aquarius:

When times are tough, or at least tricky, the universe often sends hints our way, via coincidental circumstances, vivid or recurring dreams or the appearance or reappearance of someone whose presence makes us feel a certain way. It's up to you now to figure out what those coincidences and dreams are all about. You know you can do it. If anyone is an expert at unraveling such things for others, it's you. Do it for yourself now.



Pisces:

Sometimes you have to believe -- you know, have a little faith. Scientists provide us with a lot of answers, but you of all people know that there's more to life than what science has to offer. And with your intuition, you know that when you believe in something, it's probably true. So when someone unusual comes along with a message, take a step away from your apparent reality, and listen to them.
