Aries:

It always pays to plan ahead -- an upcoming journey or event will be much more enjoyable if you take a little bit of time to make sure you know where you're going, how you're going to get there, and what you'll do once you arrive. It will be fun figuring out the logistics of this outing, and after a few minutes online you'll discover a neat option that you had never considered before. If you are traveling with someone else, contact them as soon as you can to share your findings.

Taurus:

Try not to act surprised when you receive some positive feedback from an unlikely source today. People in power have been noticing you in a new light -- and they've been spreading the word about how you're one to watch. Expect a little bit of extra attention to come your way soon, and be prepared for people to start demanding more and more of your free time. This could require a little bit more adjustment than you might think. Growing pains are inevitable.

Gemini:

Working with other people will be very interesting and stimulating for you today -- you'll be exposed to more than one new point of view regarding a topic you thought was old-hat. Just when you thought you had everything all figured out -- bam! There goes that assumption. Radical changes will abound for you, soon. This is a time of philosophical growth. You might even find yourself exploring little-known philosophies and religions just to see what all the fuss is about.

Cancer:

If you are working closely with someone else or are moving closer, emotionally, to a friend, be mindful that the two of you will not always be on the exact same wavelength. It's perfectly normal to be off track now and then. An event this afternoon, for example, might send each of you off into different directions, but don't worry -- you will both eventually come back to seeing things the same way. You are likely to be more emotional, while they will be more aloof.

Leo:

Your self esteem could be a tricky thing to negotiate right now. As you build it, you could have a hard time balancing a healthy sense of pride with an appropriate level of humility. Patting yourself on the back is definitely a healthy thing to do, but be careful that you don't ignore the contributions of other people. You climbed a major mountain, yes. But you did not scale it alone. Gratitude for services rendered is a necessary ingredient for healthy self-esteem.

Virgo:

Your words have extra weight today, so be aware that your feedback will be respected and adhered to. Make sure you offer constructive criticism instead of being just plain critical about a coworker or team member's presentation. Give concrete examples of where they fell short -- and don't forget to let them know the ways that they blew you out of the water! Be sure that you communicate to them how much you know they are capable of. They need to hear it.

Libra:

Sometimes, it's easier to have fun when you are not trying so hard to have fun. In other words: Relax! If you're bored, don't put too much effort into planning something that will entertain you. Instead, why not just go outside and walk around for a while? Engage with the world, and soon enough, interesting things will come your way, organically. You don't have to plan everything -- you just have to put yourself in situations where something special is likely to occur.

Scorpio:

Unguarded communication will be very fruitful today -- expect quite a few sparks to be ignited when people deliver unexpected outbursts! This is a new era of freedom in your life, so embrace it and let the chips fall where they may. Spending too much time trying to prevent problems is keeping you from being able to appreciate the beauty of accidents. Sometimes, things just happen for a reason -- and it's time for you to learn how to let them!

Sagittarius:

You will be asked to get involved with several different groups of people today -- accept each and every opportunity. You could end up being the crucial voice of reason in each of them! You are comfortable with culture clashes, and have a strong ability to relate well to other people. This combination of skills will enable you to make sure that everyone understands each other. So speak up. Make sure people listen to what you have to say -- it's in their own best interest.

Capricorn:

Change is usually a good thing in your life -- it's smart to mix things up and keep yourself on your toes! But today, be very careful that you do not veer too far from your usual routine. Try something new in your fashion or look, but don't go so far into uncharted territory that no one recognizes you! You need to go slow with any transitions you're making right now. Give other people the time to catch up with you before you run off into a whole new direction again.

Aquarius:

Today, your high energy will be useful in helping a poorly-positioned friend. Just by being around you, this person will get a new lease on life and start seeing things a lot more positively. Your fresh attitude will help other people jump onto the happy wagon and think about the brighter things in life. This is a heavy responsibility -- make sure you take it seriously! If you see a frown on a friend's face, make it your number one priority to turn that thing upside down!

Pisces:

Are you getting caught up in someone else's dreams or life goals? To make sure you're not losing sight of what you want out of life, do something today that is just for your own benefit. Focus on the key areas of your life that you want to keep healthy: Your physical self, your emotions, your career, and your finances. It might seem like a tall order, but it's really just a way to get you thinking more self-centeredly. You should be your top priority right now.
