Aries:

You are doing very well, balancing your emotions with the emotions of others, and it is going to pay off in a big way, today. By being in synch emotionally with the people around you (especially the powerful ones), you are showing folks that you are someone who is enjoyable to work with -- that you are someone who can compromise and work with others toward a common goal. Focus on that flexibility today, and get ready for the give and take of negotiations.

Taurus:

Your fiery enthusiasm for what you believe in is powerful -- you can always make things happen with your emotional conviction. But today, rein in that power and keep it to yourself. Controversial conversations could be filled with traps. If you jump into things heart-first, you may end up getting burned -- or at least putting your foot in your mouth. Experiment by taking an impersonal point of view. Don't let your listening skills be hampered by your passion.

Gemini:

If you are put on the spot today, try not to act out of character. Don't do anything without thinking first. While it might seem like racing ahead will get you where you want to go faster, nothing could be farther from the truth. You should stick with your usual approach and just observe for a while. Today, new things will unfold slowly, like a flower blooming in a time-release photograph. Watch the transitions throughout the day and enjoy an unusual perspective.

Cancer:

Prepare yourself for an indecisive phase. A lesser mortal would let such confusion shake their confidence, but you should see it as an opportunity to appreciate how difficult everyday choices can be. Instead of fighting your tendency to look at all aspects of a problem, just go with it. Enjoy how different things can look from different perspectives, and indulge in the luxury of being able to process many options before committing to one single solution.

Leo:

If you have been losing confidence in your intuitive powers, don't lose hope! Your faith is about to be restored by an unusual development later in the day. When it happens, consult your gut one more time, and check in with yourself about how you are thinking and how you are feeling. Either your mind is changing, or your gut is. The two will come together with the right answer and a smart plan. You are getting back in the saddle of defining your own destiny.

Virgo:

Whether you consider yourself to be an intellectually curious person or not, you should not be afraid to delve into complicated ideas today -- your mental clarity will be strong, and you'll be able to break complex ideas down into more easily understood bits and pieces. Pair this ability with your exceptional verbal communications skills, and you'll be the most effective teacher there is today. Help others see things that they don't understand, and you'll learn a lot along the way.

Libra:

Sometimes, you have to think of your life as if it were a business: How are you managing your output and your input? If there is no balance, you will certainly start suffering, so today you should make the adjustments you need. Get a good night's rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and give yourself some free time to eliminate the day's accumulating stress. If you do these things, you will see a huge improvement in your performance. Your company's morale will be fantastic, too.

Scorpio:

Your vision has been partly cloudy over the past few weeks, but today it is definitely going to clear up. Look for sunny skies -- thanks in part to the shocking news you hear early in the day. Like an ice cold shower in a sweltering hot day, this wake up call will refresh you, invigorate you, and prepare you for some hard work. Unusual people have unusual ideas, but that doesn't mean that they aren't ones you should adopt. You can see what you need to do today -- and in the coming weeks -- clearly.

Sagittarius:

Endurance is not always fun -- staying with something (or someone) until it is over isn't quite as enjoyable as sticking with something (or someone) because they truly fulfill you and make you happy. Unfortunately, when something important is at stake, you have to forgo the fun and hang in there. Today, your options are limited and your determination will force you to do the right thing. Focus on making things last right now. Later, you can figure out how to make them fun.

Capricorn:

There could be a clash of the titans today, so keep your head down and mind your own business. Getting caught up in a power struggle between two giant personalities is not going to be a good move. Even if you try to stay objective, it simply won't be possible. At some point, your back in going to be up against the wall. It's better to stick to your own work and keep your eyes on your own paper. If someone asks you to get involved, you should tell them no and accept the consequences.

Aquarius:

Working on advancing your career can be a lot more fun than you think. Making social connections can often lead to making business connections, although you do need to keep a stern eye on where to draw the line. There's a social invitation coming you way, and your first urge might be to take a rain check. Do what you can do make it to the event -- and bring a few business cards just in case. You never know who's on the other end of a handshake.

Pisces:

Every storm ends -- so if today starts to get rough, remind yourself of that fact. There are a lot of dramas going on in your life, although none of them really have the potential to drive you off track. Today is not the day to make major moves or attempt significant transformations. It is better if you just hang on and ride this all out. In the evening, try to find some alone time with an engrossing novel that can take you far, far away from your current reality.
