Aries:

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. And let's face it -- your zip has been zapped and there's a definite lack of pep in your step. So how can you get your groove back? Well, there are two equal and opposite actions you can take. The first is to rest -- especially if you've been overloaded. Take some time just for you. The second is to get moving, especially if you've been the epitome of lethargy lately. Whatever you choose, act on it soon!



Taurus:

The stars just put your social life on the front burner, and things are suddenly sizzling. How to handle this sudden flood of invites, phone calls and people dying for your company? Well, you're the type who thrives on attention, and things have been entirely too quiet for you as of late. So book your calendar like crazy. Just make sure you also book in some downtime as well -- all play and no rest makes people cranky as heck.



Gemini:

You've been fighting so hard to gain your freedom in this particular situation that you might be losing sight of your actual end goal. It helps to step back, take a deep breath and get quiet for a moment (or heck, maybe several, and on a daily basis). Then refocus your eyes on the real prize. It might be worth sacrificing a minor battle if it means a major victory on the fronts that really matter, don't you think? Be strategic. Think in the long-term.



Cancer:

Feelings can be contagious. For example, ever noticed how smiling at a stranger can automatically make them smile back? Or how laughter can spread from one person in waves? Or conversely, how someone's sarcastic comment can put you in a rotten mood and make you want to lash out at, say, a slow retail clerk? Your mission right now, should you choose to accept it (and you most definitely should) is to spread cheer and goodwill wherever and however you can.



Leo:

Money is a force that needs to be handled wisely and with respect. It's also something that should be causing less stress in your life, not more. Take a look at your spending habits and how you deal with your cash. Do you put off financial matters until the last minute? Do you use retail therapy to try and solve problems that can't be solved that way? If you don't like the answer to these questions, it's well past time to figure out why.



Virgo:

You feel just like Charlie after finding a golden ticket -- a whole scrumptious candy factory of choices and adventure lie ahead of you. So make like Charlie and grab your most trusted companion to join you for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who knows where this will lead or you'll end up? Just make sure you don't pull an Augustus Gloop and get too greedy -- remember what happened to him!



Libra:

Progress doesn't always happen in a straight line. In fact, in order to get to your ultimate destination, many times you may have to re-explore territory you thought was well behind you in order to learn something that you missed out on the first time around. Stressing yourself out about losing time isn't worth the worry, though. Instead, sit back and enjoy the scenery. After all, isn't that the point of life?



Scorpio:

Every choice you make in your life has an impact on your surroundings. Isn't it time you started making the most healthy, beneficial choices available? Maybe it's time to start that office recycling program you've been thinking about. Maybe you could volunteer as an after-school tutor. Maybe you could start bringing your own bags to the grocery store to save plastic bags. Every little bit counts -- and helps.



Sagittarius:

Taking care of others is important, sure, but taking care of yourself should be a priority as well. So if you're feeling run ragged doing special projects for your boss and helping your sister watch her kids, put your foot down. You need your spare time. You have boundaries. You want some space. Isn't it about time that people started to respect that? Isn't it time you took your own needs seriously? Yes and yes.



Capricorn:

Do you have a friend who lives halfway around the world? If so, now's the perfect time to get in touch with them. If not, then meet someone. Get online and do a little research. Whether you're looking for a pen pal, a business partner or your soul mate, you'll find that with a simple computer connection you can expand your social circle. And with your focus and drive to get things done, you'll even have extra time to finish that big work project and clean the house. Whew!



Aquarius:

You might think this situation is a failure when, in fact, it's come along at this moment to teach you a skill you'll need to deal with an even greater success. So put those assumptions and fears aside and deal with what's in front of you right now. Those crafty stars might have far greater plans in store for you than you could have ever dreamed of. Learn everything you can from this moment and remember it. It'll come in handy sooner than you know.



Pisces:

There are certain delicious confections (and you know which ones they are) where sometimes you have to break through the brittle outer shell in order to get to the soft caramel center. Someone or some situation in your life right now may present a similar dilemma. So before you toss them in the wastebasket and deem them not worth your time, take a moment. Is there something rewarding that's simply hidden behind a tough exterior in there?
