Aries:

Your ardent curiosity does more than just satisfy your mind -- it often inspires others, too. Share your passion for a certain band, movie, fashion designer, food, magazine, or novel with someone else, today. Preferably, choose someone you'd like to show an intimidate side of yourself to. Give them this glimpse into what fires your imagination, and you will give them a good idea of the kind of intellectual heat you offer. In all probability, they will offer to share something with you.

Taurus:

If you are in the mood to do some shopping, or if you need to pick up a few supplies, be very mindful of where you shop. Don't just go where it's most convenient -- go where you can get the best buys. Whether or not you are worried about saving money right now, you should be careful not to get taken for a ride. Look for good values. Later in the day, make yourself available for a friend who needs some advice. They need to hear what you would do if you were them.

Gemini:

Today will provide you with the perfect opportunity to confront someone you've been having trouble with. You'll be able to communicate your issues without any anger or defensiveness erupting -- as long as you stay tuned in to your more compassionate side. Try to put yourself in their shoes, and you'll see how to deliver your message without offending them or hurting their feelings. By respecting them, you set up a great foundation for a stronger relationship.

Cancer:

Your relationship with an authority figure has been generating a lot of friction lately, as the two of you have been going through a bit of a power struggle. Good for you for not backing down and automatically doing whatever they say. It's important to question authority, and you are right to do so. But today, it's time to back down. Stop being such a contrarian. You two need to get things done -- and in order to do so, you have to yield to their will for now.

Leo:

Today, you are likely to meet someone from another country or culture who has a lot to offer you -- including an education. They have an interesting story to tell that will change your opinion about something you thought you thought you understood like the back of your hand. Your mind is still open to learning a lot more about the world, and you're ready to soak up a new philosophy. The best part is that you can help this person learn new things, too. This conversation won't be just a one way street!

Virgo:

Avoid anything that looks like it could evolve into a combative situation today. Big egos are entering the scene, and all of them are willing to say whatever they need to say in order to get what they want. Are you willing to fight dirty? Of course not. Fighting dirty gets you dirty. And you'd like to keep your hands clean, here! The solution? Skip out on this drama altogether. And if you can't avoid it, then do your best impression of a peacemaker.

Libra:

Are you looking for a creative spark? A flash of inspiration? Your creativity will be stimulated greatly if you can squeeze in a few hours of 'alone time' today. It's not selfish to want to be by yourself right now -- it's smart, and it is very healthy. Some of your more social friends probably won't understand your ability to enjoy being alone, but they will support you in it. As long as they know what's going on with you, they don't need to see you as often as you think they do.

Scorpio:

Put yourself in the service of someone or something else today. Step outside of yourself and put your own needs on the back burner. Right now you'll get a valuable life lesson if you put your efforts into something that is bigger than yourself or your lifestyle. Plus, helping to solve the problems of other people will help take your mind off of your own problems -- which is always nice, right? Distraction isn't always such a bad thing, especially if other people benefit from it.

Sagittarius:

An insecure person will be trying to throw a lot of aggressive energy into a delicate situation today. Like a bull in a china shop, they are probably going to cause some breakage -- and possibly even some harm. If you are feeling feisty, speak up to. Tell them to get lost. Or ask them to leave your china shop alone. But if you'd rather not invite any sort of confrontation with someone who so obviously has a chip on their shoulder, walk away. Be ready to drop everything in order to remove yourself from an explosive situation.

Capricorn:

Being indecisive is not a crime, but if you put off making an important choice for too darned long, it will cause some problems. Any postponement today will likely result in yet another postponement in the future -- are you starting in on a bad habit? If you don't make your pick today, people might get the idea that you aren't as interested as they thought you were. Or worse, they may label you a procrastinator. Show you enthusiasm by grabbing the bull by the horns. Go for it.

Aquarius:

It is important to understand how you affect the world around you, but are you aware of how the world around you affects you? You are reacting to the patterns around you, and not always in good ways. The level of stress in your life is much too high, and you can do a lot more to lower it than you are doing now. Think of areas of your life where you can cut back a little -- do you absolutely have to run those errands? Come to the rescue of that friend? You have to take care of yourself first.

Pisces:

Don't worry if the road you're traveling on right now is banked in fog. Sure, it doesn't feel very good to not know exactly where you are or where you are going. But where is your sense of adventure? Keep your mind open, and when you see a fork in the road today (in the form of an unusual opportunity), take it without hesitation. Just go slowly and be careful not to get too far ahead of yourself. You will arrive at a very pleasant destination.
