Aries:

Life has been interesting lately. Still, you've done all right. You've challenged authority and come out of the battle(s) virtually unscathed. You've handled cranky relatives, jealous friends and a sweetheart who's had a bit -- quite a bit -- of an attitude for no good reason. It's officially time for you to take a breath, to allow the universe, in all its benevolent wisdom, to arrange a last minute change of plans that can't help but work out well. Smile and say thank you.



Taurus:

Your bonds with loved ones are especially important to you now -- so much so that you'll happily do whatever it takes to keep these bonds just as strong, even if that inconveniences you for the moment. In the process, you'll be paying attention to whatever your instinct, not your mind, tells you to do -- which means that friends and family who've always thought of you as the practical one may be quite surprised. Oh, well. It's good to keep them guessing.



Gemini:

Relationships of all shapes, sizes and forms will go along quite well now -- almost as if you didn't have to do a single thing to make that happen. This may even apply to your encounters with authority figures, and even those with whom you've previously had less than comfortable communications. You're going to be quite pleasantly surprised, in fact, at what happens -- possibly a raise, bonus or promotion you were hoping for but never dreamed you'd see this soon.



Cancer:

You've been working so hard to keep things under control for some time, but it just hasn't been very easy for you. Not even a tiny little bit. But don't let that concern you yet. If you can keep it all going for a little while longer -- and you know you can -- you'll be oh so pleasantly surprised at how terrifically it all turns out. Your quest now is to keep your eye on the ball, no matter what might happen to distract you.



Leo:

Like everyone else, there are definitely moments when you feel the need to indulge yourself in some quality time alone -- completely alone. You won't feel at all lonely while you're at it, either. You may even be able to get it all over with in an evening. Say tonight, for example. Sit down with your scrapbook, photo album or whatever else reminds you of the good ol' days and allow yourself to reminisce. Just be sure you have some tissues handy and remember: the best really is yet to come.



Virgo:

You're not known for letting little things slide. You may even be aware of your sign's reputation for focusing a bit too much, at times, on details. So now, when one little thing holds the potential to ruin one very big, very wonderful thing -- something that's been going along quite well, otherwise -- you'll need to remind yourself of how not to lose sight of the forest for the trees. Sure it sounds trite, but if it works, it works. And it works.



Libra:

If anything, you're usually more reasonable to others than you should be. You'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt, even if a cast of thousands tells you it's not the wisest course of action. So if someone tells you now that you're not being fair, consider the source -- and the motivations of said source. If all you can come up for reasons they might act like this are strictly selfish motives -- and that wouldn't be surprising -- do what your conscience tells you to do. Guiltlessly.



Scorpio:

Just when you really think you know someone, they manage to surprise you -- not in an entirely bad way, but certainly in an unexpected way. So now, when someone you love acts totally out of character, you may be left wondering what to do about it. You may even be a bit worried. Well, don't -- on both counts. Think, instead, about how much fun they may be having while they're raising eyebrows and causing quite the flurry of conversation.



Sagittarius:

If a dear one seems intent upon removing themselves from the world -- temporarily, at least -- and you should be called upon to drag them back, think before you agree. Haven't you ever had the need to put some serious distance between you and every other human on the planet? Sure you have. Don't bother them, then. Do be sure they're all right, of course, and that they don't need anything, but once that's done, in effect, you're also done.



Capricorn:

A long while back, you discovered that the best way to make something as ethereal as a dream turn into reality is to tackle it practically and realistically. That means you've got to work very hard now to make your current fantasy come true. You're ready, willing and able, but you may not be entirely confident that you can make it come about. Stop that. You can, and you know it. Doubt is fatal to power. Get going, and don't stop until you're there.



Aquarius:

You're a very powerful sign, for many reasons. First off, your mind is such a vast playground that you can conjure up any image in a split second -- and it will only take you a few more split seconds to figure out how to arrange reality to make way for that fantasy. That's the situation now. Don't be afraid to indulge in a few books, CDs or other objects that will help the project along.



Pisces:

When something startles you, it can be rather hard to predict what you might say or do in response -- and that goes for any situation. But now that you're feeling a bit more emotional than usual, if there's anyone who's been toying with you unfairly lately, it might be wise to warn them that you're not always this nice. Not that you won't always be nice -- but that the symbolic fish of your sign really do represent two opposing forces, and you don't always know which one will win.



All:
