Aries
Not everyone knows that we make our own luck, but it's a fact that you count on every day. If some recent setback has brought you down, don't think of it as a failure -- instead, see it as a lesson to help aid your future success. What will you know to do for next time? Once you've figured it all out, you can go back and tweak your original formula. You're sure to like your results next time.
Taurus
Someone close is more than willing to teach you a thing or two if you can just make some time for them. This goes double for any family elders or other mentor types in your life. Listen with extra care to what they've got to say to you. There's a lot more they know about the human experience than you think, and their wisdom can cut across generations with ease. Keep an open mind and, of course, an open heart.
Gemini
Get ready to make a big social splash! You might start to move through some rarified circles, both socially and through your job, so get ready to start living large and associating with some VIPs. The most important thing to remember is that it's what's within you that really counts. Enjoy those champagne wishes and caviar dreams, but evaluate all big shots by the quality of their character.
Cancer
If someone is trying to avoid your questions, you need to start raising a ruckus until they can't ignore you anymore. Stay polite, of course (good manners really do count in this situation), but don't let them move past you until they've given up the answers you need. It's important for you to move on with the rest of your life, and that should mean something to them.
Leo
Your character is much on your mind right now as you ask yourself what you are really made of. At some level, you may be trying to decide between right and wrong! Of course, things aren't always as black and white as that, but the essential principle often applies. As you walk through life today, try to do as much good as you can, though you may have to figure out a few things first.
Virgo
Your brain might be stuck in a loop just now, so it's high time to take a look at your options. It's way too easy to repeat negative or nagging messages and just play them over and over without considering alternatives. When you catch yourself, though, you can reprogram that station to something more useful and positive. Reply to every downer with something you can really believe in!
Libra
You've got so many different and interesting people in your immediate environment, and they're all looking for you today! Everyone you meet has an absolutely fascinating if completely unexpected story to tell, and you should be enthralled by each and every one. It helps that you're pretty fascinating yourself and can spin tales with the very best of them!
Scorpio
Even if you've got a problem with someone close, it's more important for you to deal with other issues right now like reclaiming your sense of humor! Do whatever it takes to get it back. Watch a funny movie, call up a friend who's a reliable crack-up, or just dance around in your underwear until the existential silliness overwhelms you!
Sagittarius
Your ability to spin tales comes in handy in many ways on days like today. If someone needs help with a difficult or complex concept you know cold, step up and offer a bit of your knowledge. With your charm and golden touch, you should be able to turn on the lightbulb and make it look easy. Don't be shy. This stuff is too important to keep to yourself!
Capricorn
You need to put your money where your mouth is today. Even better, you should endeavor to put your money where your bank is. It's definitely time to wrangle your finances and start thinking clearly about the future. Your energy helps you get serious about long-term plans, and that has a definite effect on you right now. Start thinking about where you want to be in a few years, because it will happen with the right planning.
Aquarius
You rightly see yourself as a nonconformist, and you love the reactions you get. Go your own way and make up your own mind today, and your independence is sure to be widely admired. It becomes especially noticeable now that you're surrounded by various friends and loved ones who just can't get enough of your company. Ask yourself how you ended up with so many fantastic people in your life.
Pisces
It's way too easy for you to get caught up in the daily rush of life. Try to regain your perspective by helping someone else today. It could mean volunteering for a community organization, mentoring a child, or donating money. Whatever form it takes, today is definitely the day to think about service to humanity as a whole.
