Aries:

You're going to be dealing with some fragile egos today, which could end up being quite tiresome for you. But in the end, taking extra time and effort to make these insecure people feel comfortable and important will be much easier than having to deal with their tantrums should their paranoia get the better of them. Everyone's emotions can be fragile now and then, including yours. Try to remember that when you're paying your tenth compliment of the hour.

Taurus:

Someone in your social circle or on your team at work thinks that they deserve something you have -- but they are failing to remember how much work and effort you put into earning it. If all their grumbling and whining is starting to get on your nerves, today might be the day to take them to task. Their jealousy is something you have to take seriously. Unless you address it head on, it will only grow and become a bigger and bigger obstacle between the two of you.

Gemini:

However you feel is how you feel, so don't try to hide it. If other people are uncomfortable with your anger, your happiness, or whatever emotion you're exhibiting, that is just too bad for them. You're not a robot, so why should you act like one? Beware of people who think that hiding how you really feel is some sort of superior, more powerful way to be. Not acknowledging your feelings can become a very unhealthy habit -- one that can keep you from having honest connections with others.

Cancer:

You are always smart enough to be careful in business deals, but how careful have you been in romantic negotiations? Past pain could have been caused by careless generosity, so if you want to prevent yourself from getting hurt again in the future, go slower. A new person is an exciting thing, but what's your hurry? They are interested -- and they are not going anywhere unless you tell them to. Don't give them only green lights when yellow would be much more appropriate (for now).

Leo:

Ironically, a big ego has usually been inflated to that super-sized volume because someone is hiding an insecurity or two. So when you encounter a self-centered braggart today, keep that in mind. With all their bluster, they might be able to intimidate other people, but they won't be able to intimidate you. You know what time it is! Approach them with kindness and empathy instead of challenging their behavior. You will get a lot farther by being sensitive to their insecurities.

Virgo:

You can't analyze the unseen, so if you are wringing your hands over a mysterious situation, stop it! Trying to figure out what is motivating other people is a waste of your time. You can ask them questions until the cows come home, but right now they might not be in a position to tell you anything. They don't really understand it themselves! It's best to distract yourself with positive people and fun things. You will know more soon enough. Playing these guessing games will only frustrate you.

Libra:

Shallow conversation is fine for the line at the coffee shop or a particularly long elevator ride, but all in all, it's not your speed -- especially not today. You have too much wit and charm to just skim the surface with other people. You need to take the time to go deep. Ask the penetrating questions that give people something to think about. You don't want pat answers that anyone can spout out. You want (and deserve) to hear where people really stand on issues.

Scorpio:

Your vision for the future is sharper than ever, which might be causing you to feel antsy about how you're going to get to the next stop on your journey. Don't worry about having (or lacking) the energy or inspiration you need to move forward -- right now, you've got enough of what you need to do whatever you need to do. As long as you bring all your conviction to whatever you're doing, you will be fine. Bravado counts, so don't be shy about showing your confidence to others.

Sagittarius:

One of your most recent dreams included some confusing visions that left you scratching your head the next day. Do you think that these visions hold instructions to finding happiness? Nope. They're just various ideas that your subconscious has been toying with. You will gain more insight by consciously trying out new schemes in your daily life than you will by trying to translate these night visions into action. Focus on your waking life. The dreams are thumbnail sketches for your subconscious.

Capricorn:

You might be keeping yourself somewhat detached from the people who care about you most right now -- are you sure you're not pushing them away? Right now it's important that you connect with others, not disconnect. Look into this today. Ask one or two friends if they feel you're closed off or aloof. Pick their brain for ideas on how you can open yourself up a bit more. It's about time that you trusted in others enough to show them who you really are.

Aquarius:

Have you been feeling held back or restricted lately? If so, get ready to get going! Your progress may have been slowed down by a certain person, but that person is no longer an issue anymore. Either they are leaving the scene or they are losing their influence. Either way, today you just need to look ahead, pick your goal, and really go for it! No one with any sense will get in your way right now. The pathway is open and you are cleared for take off!

Pisces:

Don't get involved with stuff you are unsure of right now, even (or especially!) if you think it will get you the cool kids' approval. Why try so hard to be validated by people who just don't get how great you are? Just by being yourself, you offer more than enough to any crowd. If they can't see it, then you don't need them. Stick to who you are and do what you want to do. Don't be wishy-washy about it. Be proud of who you are, the way you are. You aren't a mindless lemming!
