Aries:

Try to be first today -- be the first person into the office or classroom, the first person to offer a kind word to a distressed person, the first person to call a spade a spade -- even the first person to post a comment on your favorite blog! You'll get a certain little rush out of beating everyone to the punch. Your competitive energy hasn't had any place to show its stuff lately. The act of being first today will keep you satisfied for quite a while.

Taurus:

A person in your life who is slow by nature -- either mentally or physically -- is suddenly picking up the pace right now, and you're going to be shocked when you hear what they have been up to! Your oldest friends are suddenly coming up with all-new surprises, and their changes should offer you the inspiration you have been looking for. It's time to think about making a few changes in your own life. And don't worry -- you don't have to do anything drastic (unless you want to).

Gemini:

Today you will have no problem squashing your travel bug -- you're feeling much more drawn to homey activities and cozy couch-bound nights than big journeys. However, you might be the only person in your group who feels this way, which could cause some confusion when everyone starts talking about how excited they are to hit the road. Communicate clearly and honestly that they can count you out -- make sure they know that it's just the mood you're in, nothing personal.

Cancer:

The good news you've been savoring is getting you excited, but you need to be careful that your enthusiasm doesn't get the best of you today. Not every person you're with is capable of understanding why you're in such a good mood. You run the risk of saying things before you think them through all the way. While this probably won't create any major tension or painfully awkward moments, you need to manage your image a bit more carefully right now.

Leo:

You are running the risk of being on auto-pilot right now. You've got your routine, you know how to do things, and you know how you like them done -- now what? You need to get a bit of freshness into your life! To do this, start talking to new people. Get conversations going with total strangers. You'll meet someone who teaches you something and changes one of your opinions. There's an opportunity to expand your mind every day -- if you choose to open yourself up to it.

Virgo:

You are like an energy sponge today, soaking up the attitude of whoever you happen to be spending the most time with. Therefore, it is highly advisable that you call up your most high-spirited friend and find out when you two can hang out together! There is some news in their life, and you are the perfect sounding board for them. Give them advice like you always do: Honestly, but with plenty of warmth. This is likely to be a great time for the two of you.

Libra:

Today is going to be centered all around your relationships -- at work, at home, even on the highway. The way you interact with friends and strangers alike is important, so make sure you are paying attention to how you come off to other people. Being a good listener is vital, and biting your tongue is essential. Avoid making assumptions about people and do some deep breathing to avoid getting any road rage. And no matter who you're talking to, you must be totally honest.

Scorpio:

Are you getting nervous about an upcoming event or date? There's no need to worry about your performance in the slightest -- you will do just fine! And while you are wrapping things up on your latest venture, don't forget to think about what you are going to tackle next. This is a good day to start anything -- be it a new relationship, a new book, or a new fitness routine. You have some seriously positive, can-do energy coursing through those veins of yours!

Sagittarius:

It's time to learn just how strong you can really be! If you are a female, today you will learn that don't have to have a lot of masculine energy around you in order to get aggressive and fight for what you think is best. You have all the power within you. Sure, you might not wield power with your fists, but your words can have an even more significant impact. If you are male, you will really get in touch with how your physical strength is a common bond you share with other men.

Capricorn:

Your perseverance in terms of a relationship is finally paying off -- you have given them the time they needed, and made it clear to them that you are interested in them for who they are, not just what they can do for you. So today, you should expect some returns on these investments. It's their turn to show you what they can bring to the table. Let them help you, listen to you, and be there for you. After all, this give and take is what a healthy, honest relationship is all about.

Aquarius:

Your bravery extends way past physical action today -- you are brave in your philosophy, too. The avant-garde, the odd, and the edgy don't intimidate you at all. You're ready to have your beliefs challenged. Get ready for new ways of thinking. This is a wonderful day to stimulate your brain by visiting a modern art museum, watching an innovative foreign film, or dining out at an exotic restaurant. Turn what you know on its ear and see what it looks like!

Pisces:

That person who's being so nice to you right now -- are you worried that they might have a hidden agenda? If so, you should hold off placing the level of trust you were about to in them. Keep the rest of your plans under lock and key until you know exactly what this person wants from you. It's not appropriate to interrogate them or anything -- just hang back and observe them. If anything weird is going on with them, it will show itself soon enough.
