Aries:

Is your ambition taking over your life? Recently, a few catty comments from friends might be leading you to believe that they feel a bit left out of your life. At first you might have thought that their discontentment was rooted in jealousy -- but could it really be based on a real sense that they are losing their connection to you? Your drive for success should not leave the people you love by the side of the road. So make sure to include them in what's going on.

Taurus:

Being socially active is fun for a while, but it can also make it increasingly difficult for you to understand the real issues in your life. Right now you need to come back down to earth and focus on the business of living, not the business of partying. By being more grounded, you will gain confidence in terms of your life. Stay home and get to work on that project you've been putting off. Taking a break from all the action will make you appreciate it all the more when you return to it again later.

Gemini:

If you are trying to get a new relationship started -- business, friendship, or romantic -- you might be making things much too hard on yourself. Relax and just be yourself. This is basic advice, but it holds true always. Tension is contagious, so the more nervous you are, the more the other person will hold back. Conversely, if you are always smiling and ready to start a conversation, then they will be too. It will all make sense once you put this philosophy in to action.

Cancer:

Everyone's social energies are all over the place right now, so do not expect everybody to have the same idea about what to do tonight. While some people will be dying to paint the town red, some folks in your crew may not feel like coming out -- it's best to let everyone do their own thing. There is no point in trying to get the homebodies out on the dance floor. They'll only be miserable and might even resent others for not respecting their preferences.

Leo:

Like it or not, people are looking to you for the enthusiasm that they themselves might lack right now. Now, before you get uncomfortable with the idea of being responsible for other people's emotions, think about the bright side of things. This means that you have a great deal of influence over everyone right now, and you should not hesitate to use it! Go ahead -- push your agenda and get everyone all hyped up on what you want to do. They'll thank you for it.

Virgo:

People are advancing all around you -- job promotions, marriage proposals, and other new exciting opportunities are peppering everyone else's lives. But what about you? Your time is coming soon, but first you have to take your already healthy ambition and pump it up a bit! Be more proactive about what you want to do next, and start making more aggressive moves. Talk to the people who can help you get what you want. They are receptive to hearing you today.

Libra:

Watch out for friends who are moving at a faster social pace right now. And if they are pushing you to commit to events or parties that you're not comfortable committing to, ask them if they can hold off for a few days until you are feeling more certain about things. If they get upset and withdraw their offer, then you should consider yourself lucky. This is not the time to let yourself get pressured into anything. You must always take things at your own pace!

Scorpio:

The give and take between you and your people has been out of balance for a while, but today things will start getting back to a proper equilibrium. Whether you need to receive more or give more, you will be ready to do whatever it takes to keep your closest relationships healthy. There is a chance for you to get something you have been wanting for a very long time, but it might require you to deliver bad news to someone you care about. Do you take it, or leave it?

Sagittarius:

You need to try hard to stay on top of any and all maintenance issues right now -- make sure all your bills are paid, important errands are run, and so forth. By making small but consistent efforts to keep these things in line now, you will save yourself a huge amount of headaches and inconvenience later. Your schedule will not always be as flexible as it is right now, believe it or not. The good news is that you are going to get a really great sense of accomplishment by getting things done.

Capricorn:

Self-doubt is absolute poison, today. If you doubt your abilities for just one moment, you will lose all the momentum you've built up over the past few days. You can make yourself relax by realizing that less capable, less spirited people than you have gone through what you're going through and succeeded -- so why shouldn't you? These big events, major presentations, or nerve-racking social engagements do not deserve the weight you are giving them.

Aquarius:

You don't always agree with your best friend, but this dissonance puts no restriction on how much you love them. Today, you are cautioned against thinking that an increase in conflict indicates a decrease in the quality of your relationship -- it's simply not true. In fact, if you two are fighting a lot more lately, it is because you care so much about each other. As long as you focus on respecting each other and avoid hitting sensitive nerves, you'll be stronger than ever soon.

Pisces:

Today, be on the look out for coworkers and other people who can help you out of a jam and show you a shortcut to your goal. Saving time is always a good thing, especially right now when your schedule is likely to be quite unpredictable. Finding the tricks you need to shave precious seconds off your projects is an important investment, so think of the big picture and think strategically. An hour searching for help early in the day will save you much more time later in the day.
