Aries:

If all else fails today, talking things out will help. Whether you're involved in an innocent fender bender or you're a bystander in a botched industrial sabotage plot, your excellent communication skills will go a long way toward easing tensions. Hopefully, you can solve the real problem altogether. You have a lot more influence over the attitudes of others than you may realize. Try flashing a smile and see what happens. You might be surprised how it inspires people to smile right back.

Taurus:

Fanciful ideas and romantic wishes have been blooming inside your head. They're all so pretty ... and it's a waste that no one sees them but you. Today, the time is right to share them with a person who loves you the most. They really want to know more about what makes you tick, and they can tell that you've been working on something in your mind. Give them a glimpse of what you're thinking and their reaction will delight you -- and bring you closer together.

Gemini:

Today you should reach outside of your comfort zone to find something new in your life. Talk to people who you would not typically talk to and see what they have to say. Go to a place you've been meaning to check out for a while. These visits to the outside realm will intrigue you and change you. It might even change your mind about something -- you have to be open to that possibility. A leopard may never change its spots, but you're no leopard. You are a wise, courageous lion -- go ahead and roar!

Cancer:

If you have a regular physical exercise routine, try to mix it up a bit today. Mundane physical exertion will do more to hinder your good energy levels than improve them. If you do not have any sort of regular physical routine, today you definitely need to start one. Even if it's something small -- like taking a walk at lunchtime, or walking upstairs instead of taking the elevator -- it will make a big difference in your energy level and in your attitude today.

Leo:

Things are not going very smoothly for someone in your life who always seems to have the world on a string -- and it may throw you for quite a loop. Suddenly, the person you looked to as an example for how to behave no longer exists! What to do? After you recover from the shock, take some notes -- because this is a wonderful learning opportunity. It's time to be your own best example and stop modeling yourself after people you think you would like to be like.

Virgo:

You're known for your great advice, but at least one of your people is in a situation they may be too embarrassed to talk to you about. Put out your feelers today ... send a few probing emails and find out what's up with everyone in your inner circle. You just might be able to pull someone shy out of their shell. Listening skills will come in handy in all sorts of places today, giving you a wonderful excuse to poke your nose into a particularly juicy-sounding conversations.

Libra:

Your bright smile is more powerful than you could have ever imagined -- especially today, when a dour person holds the key to a place you want to explore. Turn on the charm. Look at the situation optimistically, and you might get exactly what you want! You have to harness the power of positive thinking, though, because focusing on what could go wrong or what isn't fair will only get you grumpy -- and no one wants to hang out with someone who is grumpy!

Scorpio:

Full of mysterious clues and confusing comments, this day will bring out the amateur sleuth in you. Follow your instincts and poke around in a few places until your curiosity is satisfied. You'll have a fun time figuring things out and detecting the patterns in someone's unusual behavior. Be up front about your findings and you'll spark a very interesting conversation. While the answer to the mystery might not be earth-shattering, the process of finding it will create an adventurous day.

Sagittarius:

Being out in the natural world is the right way to rejuvenate yourself, get a new perspective on where you're going, and find a new friendship right now. Visual beauty will bring another level of joy, so take a long walk in a flower garden, at the beach, or in some other environment you may find inspirational. As long as you have fresh air, sunlight and the sounds of nature around you, you will get the dose of contemplation you really need right now.

Capricorn:

The level of romance in your life is about to go up, up, up! The sky's the limit when it comes to the amount of chemistry between you and a very special someone. Most of the explanation can be found in your brimming confidence -- people are attracted to people who have a strong sense of self. Your creativity is also a big turn-on, so use it to convey your feelings in an unexpected (and very flattering) way. This is a period of new beginnings and exciting conversations.

Aquarius:

When it comes to your finances, you cannot let your reputation come before your bank account. If you are afraid of being called 'cheap,' you need to get over it. The people who toss those types of terms around are the same people who are deep in debt, so what do they know about money matters? Being more thrifty will help you increase your cash flow -- and decrease your stress level, so draw up a tighter budget and ignore what people say about your spending habits.

Pisces:

The company you keep says a lot about who you are -- and that fact is more important than ever before, now. New folks can be entertaining, but be sure you totally understand their motivations before inviting them into your inner circle. Trust is something to be earned, not given away freely. Resist the urge to abandon your standards in an attempt to fit into someone else's world. Your future is something only you can control, and it's a twenty-four hour a day job.
