Aries:

It might feel like you've been through the emotional ringer lately, but don't worry -- you're due for a break today. Everything is going to go much more smoothly than it has been, and you will benefit from the ambition of others. Let them do all the work while you supervise. Take advantage of this downtime by following up on a travel opportunity. Go and learn more about a culture that you've always been curious about. Fill today with exploration, and feed your curiosity.

Taurus:

When you feel like you're in too much of a hurry today, slow down! It sounds simple, but lately you have been letting yourself get caught up in the momentum of your days' activities. Like a leaf in a windstorm, you're getting tossed about and starting to feel a bit powerless over your situation. This is nonsense -- if you want things to slow down, you can slow them down. The power is in your hands. It's time for you to remind yourself that you are in control of your own life.

Gemini:

Why not let other people take the wheel today while you just follow along behind them? Not only is it is easier to just go with the flow, it can be a lot more interesting too! The universe will still give you the chance to initiate new ideas, plan new social outings or personal projects -- you don't have to be the one in charge to get a green light on new endeavors. Don't confuse power with opportunity. If you do, you'll never get a chance to relax!

Cancer:

Think about a person who really taught you something valuable in your life, and bring that good memory to life in the present for a while. Remembering this person, whose encouragement helped you in the past, will help you keep a positive attitude today. You need to keep hanging in there when times get rough! Honor this person by being a positive and encouraging presence in someone else's life -- lend a hand or give a hug to someone who's feeling extra stress now.

Leo:

Today you'll think that you are too busy for a long debate over issues, but you are wrong -- there is always time to learn more about things that are important to you! When you meet someone who challenges your opinions, don't just smile and pretend you agree. Ask them why they feel the way they feel -- their answer will surprise and intrigue you. That creaking noise is the sound of your mind slowly opening up to the possibility that you could be wrong.

Virgo:

The problems you had with some feisty coworkers are gone for now, and there is a much lighter mood at work -- it's finally time to exhale. Your emotions have been caught up in a battle that wasn't yours to fight, although the people whose defense you came to really appreciated you sticking your neck out like that. Now it's time to put your focus back where it belongs: On your work. After this brief distraction, you'll find work more rewarding than ever.

Libra:

Reflecting on your own life isn't selfish -- in a way, it's selfless. By understanding why you do the things you do, you are able to learn the right kind of lessons you need to become a better friend, a better partner, and a better employee. So don't feel bad about wanting to spend time alone, today. Even though other people who are getting together and having fun want you to join them, your energy is much better suited to introspection. It's a good thing.

Scorpio:

Something big happens today that will force you to take a controversial stand, but sticking to your principles will cause your friends to admire you even more than they already to. By being so principled, you are becoming a respected member of your social group, and you have power. You can even stop a silly spat between two of your friends from growing into a fiery argument today -- you could be the voice of reason that helps everyone avoid conflict.

Sagittarius:

Mixing your business with pleasure is not always a bad move -- it just requires very delicate footwork. Are you up for it? Make sure you are, because juggling romance with your workload takes a lot more energy than you might think. Make sure you review your company's policy on the matter, too -- is this person worth losing your job? Keep in mind that you can be flirtatious and have fun without moving things into a stage of 'formal romance,' with all its complications.

Capricorn:

No one will be able to find fault with the points you are making today -- no matter how hard they may look for faults to find! Your mind is sharp and you know the subject you're talking about inside and out. It's time to toss out any insecurity or hesitation you may have felt yesterday: There's no room for anything but confidence and pride, today. You are a star, you are on fire, and you know it. Better yet, everyone else in the room will know it by the time you're through!

Aquarius:

You are feeling more experimental today -- you'll be drawn to avant-garde ideas and expressions that used to make you suspicious or even fearful. Suddenly they are making more sense and you are more comfortable with the idea of exploring them. Do it today -- do some research online about the wilder, wackier things you have been hearing about and find out how they could become a part of your life's journey. Your comfort zone is comfortable, but ultimately it is also restrictive. Step out of it!

Pisces:

Are you in the mood to hide from the world? Good, because today the universe is sending you the right amount of energy and a great opportunity to do just that. The high-maintenance people who are usually clamoring for your attention are all occupied with other things right now -- so you are free to do whatever you want, however you want. This quiet 'alone time' will enable you to get back in touch with what you really want to do about a big decision you have been putting off making.
