Recent impetuousness could come back to haunt you at this time. Because you regret having acted so impulsively, you will probably disapprove when friends choose to act similarly. As this might escalate into conflict, it would be best to keep them at arm's length for the time being, and let them make...

Hectic and harried in the weeks leading up to this day, you may be inclined to take it easy at this time. Rather than concern yourself unduly over career matters, keep your vision homeward bound. Is your family happy in your current house? Does it need repairs? Is the neighborhood safe? These should...

Rather than getting entwined in a conflict between two friends, you may want to seek out new ones. With confidence and swagger, this should come easily to you. Beware, however, of letting new acquaintences influence you too deeply. Their ideas are likely attractive, but specious, and even dangerous.
At the end of your patience, you may be inclined to snap at others undeservedly today. Perhaps you should take some time off. Consider skipping that meeting at work, and making a day trip on your own. Relocating to natural surroundings, particularly a botanical garden, could be just what you calm...

Enterprising Horses stand a good of gaining the admiration and respect of peers today, while idle ones will probably not only disappoint others, but more importantly, themselves. Honesty, though, is crucial. Using trickery and manipulation to get ahead is, as usual, quite inadvisable.
There is a strong indication of travel for you. The wind that fills your sails, though, will probably be pressure from your family or your friends, rather than your own inclination. Your enthusiasm may be lacking, as a result. The flair that usually allows you to shine, particularly in places like...

Art and culture are your exits from a potentially pothole filled day. The quirks of a current lover may begin to get on your last nerves, and the demands of friends might discourage your from seeking their council. Instead, you will probably want to escape into yourself, enjoying a thoughtful film...

The profits of your business strategies will undoubtedly give you a boost of confidence at this time. Your work is probably too conspicuous to go unnoticed. In the occasion that it does, though, do not be afraid to speak up. Sometimes, all you need for that promotion is to demonstrate just how much...

As a general practice, you may keep your family and your social circle mutually exclusive. Rarely will you play host, instead choosing to go out when seeing friends. Now would be a good time to change that. Try inviting others to your place this time, and allow your spouse, siblings, and even...

Financial hardships could be in the cards today. Gambling will only make them more likely, so it would behoove you to avoid poker and too much lottery investment. When you seek support from friend, they might surprise you. The usual suspects may be too occupied to help, while mere acquaintences...

Take command of your romantic possibilities and you'll find that even the wildest schemes have a way of falling into place. Taking off to Tahiti to meet the love of your life on a whim? Absolutely not a problem!
You have so many romantic options at your disposal, though you tell yourself differently. And wouldn't it be a shame to pick a choice because you feel you have to rather than because you truly want to?
Your love life was zip, and suddenly it's zap. A new romance unfolds, and it's as if you've never known what love was until now. Let the details slide. It's hard to be practical when you're on cloud nine.
Is a romantic prospect saying that you're just perfect if you'd only change this one thing? Hmm -- your internal warning system just went on red alert, and with good reason. Is this the start of a dangerous precedent?
Forthright and direct: that's you in a nutshell. In this case, you might want to act discreetly when your new sweetie asks you a question and requests an honest answer. Ask them what they think instead.
Want to get away from it all? The stars say there's no better time, especially as the current celestial influences link travel with romance. Even if it's for a day or two, the trip will do you worlds of good.
Surprise! An old flame calls with a surprising offer: They know just the perfect person for you. Should you take them up on it? Why not? Spend an hour or two with this prospect. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Love can't live on brainpower alone. You and this person have plenty to say to each other, which is definitely important -- but what about your heart? What does it have to say about Mr. or Ms. Smartypants?
The stars link love with travel. It's time to get on the bus, plane or car and find new venues. The change of pace will do your spirit a world of good -- and if you happen to meet a hot prospect, all the better.
Someone great asks for your digits. You're trying to play it cool and calculate all the odds in your head, but you actually want to jump up and down and squeal for joy. After they leave, go ahead and squeal away.
You have to work on this belief that needing someone is a sign of weakness. If everyone were self-sufficient, this world would a much more boring and lonelier place. Reach out to someone special.
An old love wants to reconnect, and their flattery almost makes you think that it would be worth it. Maybe it is -- but before you decide, review all of the parts of the relationship, not just the fun ones.
You might have a problem that gets between your career and your family obligations. Of course you do the right thing, but it may turn out to be for the best in pretty much every way once it's all behind you.
You can depend on your people today -- they should come through for you in a way that reinforces your faith in them. Plans are firm and nobody should be late unless it's inescapable.
You're not in the loop -- but nobody else is, at least not consciously! You may find that there's a lot more going on under the surface of your interactions than usual, but you may not understand it until next week.
You are feeling a little out of sync with your public persona, but that just might mean you need to cloister yourself for a bit. Sometimes you need to have some downtime to recharge your batteries.
You're asked to do something that is far beneath your dignity today, though it may not seem outrageous on its face. You respect yourself too much to say no, and you feel even better as a result!
You can really work hard when you need to, and if that's been the case lately, expect a reward commensurate with your level of exhaustion today. Your great personal energy helps you accept graciously.
Revisit an old injury today -- emotional or physical. You should find yourself better equipped to handle it, and even to heal it, but you may find that you have to move through some difficult territory first.
You and your people need a fair amount of discipline to get to he finish line today -- and your good energy should be all you need! It's easier than ever to keep yourself undistracted and on target.
Your mind can't escape your financial situation -- even if it's never been better! You may want to make a little more at work, or you may want to pay down some debt. Whatever it is, go for it soon!
You work hard, but often you don't get the recognition you deserve. Today brings a reward or chunk of praise your way, and you are as gracious as ever. It's a good day for reflection.
It's far too easy for you to fiddle your day away on unimportant tasks and time-wasters, so if you need to get stuff done today, make sure that you're using every trick you've got to stay on point.
Your life just got a little easier -- and you didn't do a thing! Your place in the universe is a little more exalted than usual for today, so don't be surprised if people treat you like royalty.
Slow down a bit today -- you've been running at a super-sonic frequency. As a test of your patience, get a dinner started at 3pm, letting it simmer on the stove for a minimum of four hours. This slowness is where the true flavors come from.
Though there's not a lot you can do in the garden this week, you may feel comforted to just stand on the soil and observe the changes that have occurred in the winter, picking out the stones that have inevitably risen to the surface.
After a lifelong fascination with the skills of cake decorators, you may have finally gone out and bought the tools to do the job. Try your hand at wielding a pastry bag, but be sure to practice your roses before attempting them on the final product.
You may have to deal with something not only unpleasant, but a bit costly today. If your house has flooded, unflinchingly do what it takes to fix the problem. Others may panic, but you will be the voice of reason.
Find reasons to get enthusiastic about the most mundane jobs. Though cleaning out your closet isn't very exciting, think about all of the new things you now get to buy to fill it back up again.
Get ready to make a pretty healthy life change in your house. Whether you decide to stop eating red meat or start training to run a marathon, you'll be amazed by the support that your household will give you in attaining this ambitious goal.
Though you don't particularly like being the authority, the structure of your household relies on your instructions. You don't necessarily need to be a slave driver, but firm ground rules need to be enforced for the house to run smoothly.
After seeing your latest energy bill, you may be on a crusade to conserve energy wherever you can. Switch to low-energy bulbs, turn off lights when you're not in the room -- and don't even think about turning on that space heater.
With money a little tight this week, you may need to start making your own lunch. While this may seem like a drag, make it interesting: Create your own deli sandwiches and fresh fruit salads, and heat up some leftover homemade soup.
You may be the recipient of some much-deserved recognition this week. At long last, your chocolate pie recipe may appear in a local cookbook, allowing you to bask in the appreciation of your community.
If you're feeling a bit worn out today, give in to your energy level and call it an early night. A good night of sleep will allow your mind to open up, subconsciously planning out what is sure to be a productive day tomorrow.
Though the weather report is showing nothing but doom and gloom, your house seems to have been spared by the heavens. Enjoy a rain-free afternoon, spending some stolen time tending to the problem areas in your yard.
A lot of last year's difficulties, if you think about it, boiled down to a lot of fiddly little details getting in the way of you realizing your dreams. Let's be honest about it, Aries: struggling with the small stuff just isn't your style. In the next year, you'll find that a lot of these pressures...

Taurus always gets tagged with things like 'pleasure-seeking' and 'materialistic.' That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life...

Isn't it great being a Gemini? All that charm, that mental flexibility, that ability to see both sides of the issue ... you're the wonder of the zodiac. Take a bow. The problem with that is that both sides of the issue have been kind of a drag. Good news: that's all going to change in the next...

Oh, big playful Leo -- how the last couple of years have been dramatic (and often less than kind) for you!

Did you just hear that gigantic cry of 'hooray'? That was the sound of millions of Sagittarian lives getting better in 2010.

One of the things that never seems to come across in those generic descriptions of Capricorns is their inherent sweetness.

Okay, pause for a moment and check your pulse. Still there? Good. That means you survived the last couple of years with both Saturn and Pluto in less-than-perfect places for you. And by 'less than perfect,' I mean 'lousy.' Good news! Both of astrology's heavyweights have moved on to more...

Your success is based on a combination of plodding along and jumping on good opportunities. It's this potpourri that makes it all so lovely. But it also adds a good bit to chance. You're getting sick of plodding along while waiting for your next break. Sigh.
Your understanding of money is surprisingly superficial. You're happy when you see it in your wallet or reflected in your bank statements, but you have no idea about how it filters through your life. You can see things from an entirely new perspective by simply keeping track of what you spend and on...

When it comes to spending money, you have a hard time holding yourself back. It's your bank account for a change that is the ultimate authority on what you can and, more importantly, cannot spend. The upside is that it's not that confusing anymore.
When you reach for your money, you may think at first it doesn't feel like coming out of your wallet. Then you'll realize it's actually long gone. Don't get all indignant or start projecting your paranoia onto others. You already know who the culprit is: You.
You tackle all problems in life with the same level of enthusiasm. A lack of funds is just another challenge for you, and one you are up for. Don't waste time boring others with your plans; just buckle down and put in the hard work you know is necessary to regain your financial health.
Your instinct is to go for all things romantic, creative, and last but not least, fun. But these days you can't afford those kinds of activities. You have hard work ahead of you and it's critical that you accomplish it. Don't let yourself get sidetracked by anything.
Interest, it seems, knows no limits. A past bill has come back to haunt you and it has ten times the bite it did at the time you conveniently forgot about it. Don't let yourself get all depressed. Consider it just one more opportunity to become better positioned by taking the high road.
There is a crucial element missing in your plan for success, and no one can make up for it but you. It's willpower. You need to start exerting some self-control or risk going under. When there are deadlines to be met and bills to be paid, nothing else will take its place.
You're as focused on saving money as you possibly can be. You're already making your own lunch and avoiding all non-essentials. Short of making your own clothes, you've trimmed about as much fat in your budget as there is to trim. Don't take penny pinching to any further extremes.
Your plans are working, but they're just not the plans you are aware of. Your inner themes play a bigger part in your finances than you realize. If you want good results, you have to root out the negative thoughts that repeat in loops. You're so used to them, they're like background noise.
You want to take disciplined action, but you have no idea what to do or how to do it. This might be something you just can't tackle yourself. Admitting you need outside help is the first step toward regaining your financial footing. Don't waste another day flailing around.
Finding a direction in life is harder than it seems. Money has been your guiding star, but now you need something altogether different. Following it once you find it will prove more profitable than your current trek ever could be. Start by building a better compass.
