Aries:

You have a job in front of you that you're not exactly dying to dig into. But the longer you delay doing the work that is necessary, the bigger your challenges will become. So try to get started on your work as soon as you can, today. If you just dive right in and work steadily to get things over with, you will lessen the amount of stress in your day and keep things from getting any more complicated. Skip lunch if you have to -- the more you do today, the less you will have to do tomorrow.

Taurus:

Relaxation is much more important than progress right now in your life, so ease off the gas pedal for a while! Take the more inviting, meandering road to wherever you need to go today and don't you dare look at your watch! Sure, taking the scenic route will probably add time to your journey, but what you will be seeing will be so delightful that slow and leisurely will be the perfect pace. It's a great day for conversations that last three hours long and go nowhere.

Gemini:

The simplest things will give you the biggest charge, today -- from making sure that all your bills are paid to running basic errands and taking out the trash, you're going to get immense pleasure out of tasks that allow you to turn your mind away from the dramas swirling around you. Distraction is a very useful way of getting through a tough day. So if you've had things weighing heavy on your mind lately, go do the laundry! You'll end up whistling and happy in no time.

Cancer:

It's all about open and free communication, today. You've got to say what you feel as soon as you feel it! It's time to liberate your mind and free yourself to say whatever comes to mind at the moment it pops up in your brain. You're open to the fact that once or twice you might say something silly. You might stick your foot in your mouth, but so what? That's a small price to pay for feeling free and open with the people you'll be dealing with, today. Embarrassment can bring people closer.

Leo:

Being shy and introverted is one thing, but hiding what you have to offer is quite another! Putting up a wall between yourself and the rest of the world is a poor way of showing the world what you can give -- especially if you are looking to create a romantic connection. Today, take a bigger risk. Reveal your inner thoughts to someone you don't know very well. You won't be disappointed by the effect you have on them. You are a lot more intriguing than you realize

Virgo:

Your gut will tell you where you need to point your energies next. So be ready to move today -- if you suddenly get an urge to tidy up the house, then block out the rest of your day to do it. And if you suddenly get an urge to bake some cookies, head right out to the market and pick up whatever ingredients you need. It might not be convenient to act so spontaneously today, but it the more you can do it, the more you will feel a sense of power over your own life.

Libra:

Someone from your past will be coming back on the scene very soon -- no matter how much you are dreading the reunion, you need to put on a brave face! They have a certain amount of influence over your life right now, and it will definitely be in your best interest to keep them on your side. So let go of any and all grudges and try to see the good in them -- you know it's there! But more importantly, make sure that they only see the good in you. The effort will be worth it.

Scorpio:

An exciting new opportunity will be coming your way, today -- but you are going to have meet it halfway, and the journey could be a strange one. You've usually done a lot of planning before making any big moves, but there will be no time for that today! What you need is flexibility, spontaneity, and a whole lot of bravado! You'll be required to put on a bit of a performance, although it will be a role you were born to play. You'll have a blast fooling someone in good fun.

Sagittarius:

Give someone a helping hand today, and you'll actually be helping yourself too! Remember this when you feel like you're too busy to assist anyone. Don't rush ahead when details need to be covered -- never mind the fact that they aren't your details! Slow down and realize that by taking time to connect with another human being, you are connecting with the humanity inside of yourself. Even giving someone a ride is a chance to remind yourself how great you are.

Capricorn:

Today, you need to challenge yourself to step back from the project you've been working on so diligently. It will do you some good to take a break from all of the details and get grounded in your personal life again. Someone you care about is missing you like crazy, and one ten minute phone call isn't going to put you off your schedule. So give them a call -- or just send them an email. Right now they really need to know you haven't forgotten about them!

Aquarius:

You need to stop thinking so hard about the things you don't like about your life! You might think that the more brain power you devote to your problems, the faster you will solve them, but that isn't always the case. Step back and just watch how things progress without your interference. Take care when you're dealing with other people, too -- they might even be able to fix the problem for you if you just let them. Improving your situation isn't always something you have the power to do.

Pisces:

Today you'll be put into the position where you'll need to tell someone some news that they won't like hearing. But you have to remember that sometimes, helping others can be a thankless job. Deliver the news with a gentle touch, and keep what you say short, simple and straight to the point. They won't shoot you as the messenger, but they might need your shoulder to cry on or your ear to hear them. Be generous with your time and honest with your support.
