Aries:

The people in power are relying on your discernment to help them make the right decisions. Do not hold back how you really feel, but you might want to consider softening your harshest feelings with a gloss of charm and diplomacy. You are becoming a very valuable collaborator. Like a lighthouse in a foggy night, you will serve as a life-saving beacon to some important (and very confused) people today. Your instincts are right on target, so speak up if and when you smell a rat.

Taurus:

If you have been searching for a missing element, hidden idea or final piece of some vexing puzzle, today you will find it -- in the words or actions of someone you have known for a long time. Listen to what they say, even if they don't know how to say it tactfully. They will help you wrap up your ideas and their perspective will not only complete your picture -- it will improve upon it. With their help, you will be able to give your attention to things that really matter.

Gemini:

If you look inside your wallet today, you might see quite a few dust bunnies. Living a cash-free life may be a sign of the future, but you can't pay for everything with plastic. Eventually, the expenses have to go somewhere! Closely examine your credit card bills and assess your financial health today. It might be wise to go back to the old fashioned idea of not buying what you can't afford. At least that way, you will know at a glance what you have -- or don't have.

Cancer:

Are you ready for romance? That's not a silly question! Timing is everything when it comes to the art of love, and you need to feel one hundred percent on board for a new relationship. If it's not exactly what you want, then don't move forward with this person -- no matter how great they look on paper. If you are in a relationship right now, communicate what you are feeling in greater detail. Your sweetie might be acting on some incorrect assumptions.

Leo:

The heady thrill of excessive behavior will tempt you today, but it is time to take a more conservative viewpoint on things. Watch your money, avoid going shopping, stick to your diet, and don't overeat. Cutting back in the places where you tend to go overboard will not be as difficult as it may have been in the past, partially because you have recently learned some lessons the hard way. Food is not going to give you any comfort today, so ignore your sweet tooth.

Virgo:

Truly great days don't just appear on the calendar out of nowhere. Truly great days are made by a complex array of variables aligning in the proper order. And as you can imagine, those are rare days indeed. But you need to remember that sometimes your attitude and positive thinking can push so-so days in the right direction. So if this day starts off a bit glum, don't think that the rest of the day is cast in stone. You can realign your variables -- at any point.

Libra:

There is a difference between being observant and being whiny. If you see something wrong and can find suggestions on how to improve it (or can act on your ideas and solve the problem), then you are being observant. But if all you do is point fingers and complain about how things are not what they could be without offering any ideas, you are just being a whiner. You can see what needs to be done today, go out and do it. You will inspire all the whiners in the world to shut up and join you in a solution.

Scorpio:

Sure, the details of your life can be a bit boring sometimes, but you definitely need to get a handle on them today -- unless you want missed connections, misunderstood remarks, and monumental frustration. Spend a few hours of your time sifting through your priorities and your options. The more you plan and organize, the more time you'll have later to relax and enjoy yourself with friends! Lay all the groundwork today so you can fully enjoy yourself tomorrow.

Sagittarius:

All signs are pointing to a fantastic new beginning for you -- and a long journey or other sort of geographical change could be coming soon. If a trip is already planned, expect it to go incredibly well -- an upgrade may be involved. Prepare yourself for unexpected luxury. A big payoff is due today in a financial sense as well, and it's one you should share with the people you love. Invite a few friends out to dinner and surprise them by footing the bill.

Capricorn:

To help make a tough decision, use equal parts good-old-fashioned research and good-old-fashioned instinct. Facts and feelings are an unbeatable combination that will steer you right every time. Even if the decision you need to make today is a fairly simple one, approach it as if your whole life is riding on it. What should you order for lunch? Consider your wallet and look at the price. Then, listen to your innermost craving. What will fulfill it?

Aquarius:

You cannot go forward when you're looking in the rearview mirror -- a bad accident is sure to happen, and it might be one you can't walk away from. So pay attention to what is going on around you and focus on the here-and-now, today. Yesterday is old news, and it will only distract you from seeing where you need to go. Let go of old ideas and lost opportunities and make room for new challenges and new hopes. There are things beyond your control. The sooner you accept that, the better.

Pisces:

Critical thinking plus continued action equals major accomplishments for you, today, so do not be afraid to be a doubter! Nothing is quite as it seems, so anyone who claims to have a cure-all is full of baloney. Ask them a few pointed questions, and you will quickly reveal them to be the snake oil salesmen that they are. Keep an eye out for overly friendly service people -- they are aiming for a good tip. But if they are skilled at being charming, you should reward them -- generously.
