Aries:

The time for exploring new places and new ideas has come -- so tune into your wanderlust and get traveling! Plan a trip to a foreign land. Being intrigued by new people and new cultures will energize you to a point that you might finally understand what you really need to be doing with your life. The blinders are coming off. You are opening your mind to new ways of living, and although not every discovery is a revelation, most are at least terribly interesting.

Taurus:

Today, there is no need for you to rush around like a maniac, despite what the people around you might be urging. A lot of the things you have been working toward are finally coming into being, and it's better if you just leave them alone. If you keep trying to make things perfect, you'll only make them worse. So step back, slow down, and try to keep yourself busy just having a good time. Take a long lunch or a long walk -- whatever will keep you peacefully distracted.

Gemini:

When a suggestion is a good one, you should take it -- appearances be damned! So go ahead and take the good advice of friends and associates. Who cares if that means they'll know how much influence they have over you? By doing what they suggest, you're doing the right thing -- and that's all that matters. You can't worry about looking like you're completely independent now. Remember: It's never a good idea to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Cancer:

Your mental abilities are hotter than ever before. But your quick mind is going to be just one of the many skills you bring to the table today. Eloquence is right up there, too: The right words will always be right at the tip of your tongue, and you will be in plenty of situations to make the most of your wit. People are impressed by your effortless charm today, so if you are going to a job interview or having a first date, your first impression will be dramatic and effective.

Leo:

Your brain is a big and vital organ -- and it's nowhere near even half full! Spend some time learning something new today, and you'll be doing something very good for yourself. You'll also have a lot of brainy fun. Go online and research a far away country you've always wanted to visit. Pick up a biography about a past president. Find out once and for all what the best way to make an omelet is. It doesn't matter what you discover, as long as it is something that makes you curious.

Virgo:

Keep your distance from needy people for now and avoid letting them use what's yours. It might make you feel a bit un-neighborly, but sharing resources with disorganized people could have a very stressful effect on the relationship you have with them. Too many variables are at play, and the chances that you will emerge from the arrangement without losses are very slim. Define your boundaries today, and you will be able to avoid making commitments that could come back to haunt you.

Libra:

Your time is extremely valuable. Every minute of your day is as good as money, especially right now, when you are just so busy. Who deserves this valuable commodity more than your family and friends? Easy -- nobody. Your friends and family are your most worthwhile partners, so make some time for these people (who are so valuable to you). Plan a weekend with someone who is fun to talk to and fun to go on adventures with. Enjoy having more one-on-one time with someone who makes your life better.

Scorpio:

Doing whatever you want whenever you want is simply not possible, especially now, when you have made so many commitments to so many people. But if you try hard enough, you can still exert a lot of control over the course of the day. All you need to do is avoid conflict. So try to resist your natural urge to go against the crowd, because it could ruffle a few feathers. Just go with the flow and play nice. You don't want to rock the boat when you're this far out at sea!

Sagittarius:

Today, despite the tension that you can sense brewing under the surface, you should just focus on having fun. The impending drama is not something you created, and it is absolutely not your responsibility. This is not about ignoring a problem or passing the buck -- it's about knowing what you can change and what you cannot change. Keep things light with friends and family, too. It will help your popularity if you keep the vibe of the entire day easy and pleasant.

Capricorn:

A door is opening in your career, but it might require you to leave your family for a while. Travel is something that you usually enjoy quite a bit, but this time it could be a lot more work than you were expecting. There will be significant pressure from the people you love, as well as pressure from your coworkers or employers. Be prepared for the fact that no matter what decision you make, you will need to do some damage control. But don't fret: In the end, you can't make a bad decision.

Aquarius:

Today, someone will ask you an insightful question that will cause you to think twice about what you're doing with your free time. The patterns you have developed in your social life are becoming a little bit boring -- what you need right now is a new cast of characters, and a new agenda for fun. Reconnect with someone from your past who always made you smile, and see what they are up to. Isn't it time you two caught up with what's going on in your lives?

Pisces:

Today, if you let yourself get drawn into a mystery, you will be giving this mystery power over you. Don't try to figure out why things are happening the way they are happening. Not only do you not have enough time to waste on such melodrama, you won't be very satisfied by the solution. So just roll with the punches and try to get comfortable with the ambiguous elements of your life right now. Your future will be full of them, too -- so the sooner you learn how the handle them, the better.
