Aries:

Things that used to be difficult for you are getting a lot easier -- like letting go of the people who are not good for you. Today, you will find it effortless to turn away from the dramatically unhealthy people in your life -- and not ever look back again, no matter what the consequences. If you are negotiating among friends, don't try to anticipate how other people will react. Just focus on you and that other person. What other people think is not important at all.

Taurus:

One of your relationships is slowly moving into a new arena -- and it's okay if you are not so sure that you are totally comfortable with it. You're usually at ease with change, but now you're hearing alarm bells going off all around you. It is too soon to tell whether there are things to be concerned about, so there is no need to act on any fears. Just feel what you feel, and give this thing time to assume its new shape. Chances are that you both will be able to adjust and thrive.

Gemini:

An unexpected bill or financial report will arrive today, forcing you to assess your banking situation in a more creative way. It's time for you to investigate different ways of making your rainy day fund a lot fatter. Perhaps you've been focusing too much on what you've been spending money on, and not enough on what you are doing to make your existing money grow. This is a long-term project, so do not make the mistake of expecting immediate results.

Cancer:

If you sense that things are just getting started with someone special, you are right! The embers of your social life have been glowing steadily for weeks, but today you will have the right combination of fuel (a new cutie on the scene) and oxygen (a growing sense of confidence) necessary to create a new fire in your life! A new beginning is always very exciting -- grab hold of this powerful feeling and soak up the warmth for as long as you can. Appreciate every moment.

Leo:

If a conflict erupts today, you have to speak openly and honestly. This is not the time to circle the wagons and get defensive. Open up and speak your mind. Be totally honest about the fact that you want everyone to stay happy. Maintain good will among the group. A compromise will take time to arrange, but it will make everyone happier in the end. There is a way to solve this problem without asking anyone to sacrifice anything. You just need the patience to find it.

Virgo:

The folks around you could get whiplash today if they try to follow your every move! With a million ideas buzzing in your head, you will be going off in a million directions at once. But be careful -- you could flail all day long if you do not get a little structure in your plan, and that would be a huge waste of energy. If you discipline yourself and get organized, you can actually make headway on one or two of your brilliant ideas. Quality, not quantity, should be your focus.

Libra:

Summon up your flexibility at the start of today -- it will come in handy as you are faced with lots of unexpected (yet friendly!) obstacles. Some of your plans may have to get cancelled altogether in order to make way for a bigger opportunity. Romantic goals are going to be blown away when you overhear a comment that forces you to re-evaluate everything you thought you wanted in a partner. It sounds heavy, but really it's just a positive change of heart.

Scorpio:

Don't be too surprised if you find yourself clutching a penny so tightly today that your fingers go numb! You are definitely feeling more thrifty and conservative with your money than usual, and it's probably due to an upcoming expense that your instincts tell you is coming. This could be a result of habit -- an annual payment has become so dependable that your body senses it coming. Once again, your subconscious is taking good care of you!

Sagittarius:

As much as you may want to hurl a drink in their face, try not to let the arrogance of someone else put you in a sour mood. There are way too many knuckleheads in this world to live life any other way. After all, if you let every jerk affect your mood, you would never be able to relax. Lately there have been an unpleasantly high number of negative-minded people around you, but luckily that is all about to change soon. So just Zen them out and focus on the people who add joy to your life.

Capricorn:

If amping up you career isn't on the top of your 'to do' list right now, then it should be -- especially today, when your yearning for something more challenging sounds loud and clear. That urge is getting tired of being ignored! So do yourself a favor by checking out a few employment websites. Start exploring what's out there, and what you may want. Remind yourself that change is possible, if you want it badly enough. Night school may be the missing link to what you want.

Aquarius:

Your compassionate nature is something others admire in you, but it could put you in the middle of a tense emotional situation, soon. Today, you should think about taking a more impersonal point of view about things. If you can avoid picking sides, you will be able to maintain greater equanimity and a real sense of fairness. You are not responsible for making everyone happy all the time, so don't put that pressure on yourself. Do something by yourself that you enjoy today.

Pisces:

The problem with showing off is that sometimes in the course of strutting your stuff, you can trip and fall flat on your face! So take acclaim or praise with a great deal of caution and humility today. Your outward image is very important to manage well, because you are under a certain amount of scrutiny from very powerful people. Act with grace and charm whenever you can, especially if you are under pressure. Someone may be testing your mettle. You pass easily if you just stay smiling.
