Aries
Being diplomatic is nice, but being in control is more effective. Don't let your urge to be liked dominate your actions today. Being a team player doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your intelligence and critical thinking. Your self-esteem will be well served if you speak your mind, so start talking. There might be an intimidation factor if you're surrounded by powerful people, but don't let that get to you. Smart people admire other smart people who aren't afraid to share controversial ideas.
Taurus
You could pass for a real-life action hero today when you come to the rescue of an associate. It may be a small thing like opening a door for a stranger, or it could be more significant like saving someone from taking the wrong turn and getting lost (figuratively or literally). The bottom line is that you need to act as often as you can. Step up and don't be shy. You can make a real difference, but you need to abandon your shyness.
Gemini
Powerful forces around you are kicking things into high gear right now, and their energy is highly contagious. So if you've been in an ambitious mood lately, sidle right up to the people who are making things happen and elbow your way into their routine. You have something valuable to offer—and they need it badly. Don't be shy about putting yourself in the middle of the action. You have nothing to lose but your obscurity.
Cancer
Get more involved in the community around you today—even if that just means waving and smiling at the people you see daily but don't really know (yet). Strange and important connections can blossom at unexpected times, and if you make it clear that you're approachable and friendly, you'll get the chance to reach a new goal. An increased feeling of connectedness may come over you late in the day, inspiring a conversation full of new ideas.
Leo
This day goes fairly slowly for you, and it may take a circuitous route to reach completion. To keep yourself from getting lost, you should keep your ears and eyes open. Stay alert to everything going on around you and take note of the people behind closed doors—their confidential discussions probably involve you. Get ready to receive a coveted proposition to take on new responsibilities. You may feel inspired to take the ball and run with it.
Virgo
Sometimes when your head is stuck in the past or flying on fast-forward into the future, you miss out on all of the amazing things right in front of you. Deal with the people, places, and things that are in your presence today. Someone wants to make a deeper connection with you, but they can't get your attention long enough to make any inroads. So slow down and let conversations drag on. Keep talking and sharing and you'll keep encouraging a very cool person.
Libra
You need to build a bridge today between the happy past you have had with someone and the happy future you hope to have. Every relationship has its bumpy points, so it's important that you realize there was nothing you could have done to prevent conflict. Focus on the good parts of what you two have right now. Doing so will help you build that bridge toward a brighter future. When it's time, you can let them know you're ready to move on.
Scorpio
If you're in a romantic relationship right now, you can expect things to shift dramatically soon. This might be the new growth phase you were hoping for. If you're single, your independent status will hold a lot of exciting mysteries for you. Be open to where this day takes you, and follow wherever your curiosity goes. It's time to be more reflective about what you want out of life. Are you aiming high enough?
Sagittarius
There's nothing more powerful than knowing everything you need to know and having all the energy you need to use that knowledge to your advantage! There are many shortcuts available to you now, and you'll be able to identify every one of them as soon as you see them. All you have to do is get creative. Skipping a few formalities is completely acceptable, and it will help you get to the heart of the matter right away.
Capricorn
If you feel in the dark about a current project, step back from the action and get a new outlook. This may seem counterintuitive. After all, if you want to be more involved, why would you step back? But the key is perspective. When you're deep in the thick of things, you can't see the situation from every angle (and it's easier to get confused). But when you move outside, everything is much clearer. And once you see it, you can dive back in at a much more advantageous spot.
Aquarius
It's time for you to master the art of savoring life. Find something you like doing, and take it slowly. Enjoy every moment of the experience and you'll find new insights into how you can improve it. Today isn't about pushing forward with all your might. It's about appreciating where you are and thinking positively. Imagine the most fulfilling experiences you can and you'll be one step closer to making them happen. It just takes a leap of faith.
Pisces
Playing the game of "hard to get" isn't the smartest strategy for you today. Actually, game playing in general isn't advised in life. It causes way too much confusion and is inherently disrespectful to the other person. If you want to be part of someone's life, you need to be up front. Don't get caught up in which one of you is making the first move. All you should be focusing on is establishing communication. Swallow your pride and do what it takes.
