Aries
It might be difficult to understand when and how to be critical today. In a business or professional context, you'll have it a bit easier, though. An early morning conflict will force you to look at things in a harsher but more truthful light. But in terms of relationships, a family event might be difficult to navigate. Err on the side of caution by being more forgiving and patient than you might otherwise be. Loving is more important than being right sometimes.
Taurus
Don't be too surprised if your silly side and your sophisticated side struggle a lot today. If you can, opt toward playing the grown-up. It might sound like it won't be as much fun, but in the long run it will make you a lot more friends. You may think that playing the good-time kid will get you the attention you want, but right now people aren't looking for a court jester. They're looking for someone who can help them stay on a smart track.
Gemini
Your life has been whizzing along like a well-oiled machine lately, but things are probably going to start to throttle down today. So if you feel less inspired to take on new projects (or even maintain current ones), don't be surprised. Your body and mind are moving into self-preservation mode. Whether you want to or not, they're forcing you to slow down and take things more slowly. If friends are concerned about an increase in apathy, assure them that it's just a phase.
Cancer
You can express yourself today in any manner that you wish, but be sure to let the people you're dealing with know that you mean what you say. It's a good strategy to work on things from several angles, so after you send that email, follow up with a phone call or face-to-face chat. It might take more than one conversation to get things to sink in (that goes for your brain as well as theirs). Don't worry about being too redundant. Clarity is what matters.
Leo
When was the last time you spent the day by yourself? It may be time for you to slow down and coast for a while. Take life slowly and peacefully. The hot energy that has been humming around you lately has certainly been exciting, but it could also have a negative influence on your emotional state of balance. It's time to check out of the whirlwind of activity and give yourself the gift of solitude. Even if you can only manage a few hours alone, it will make a big difference.
Virgo
Time is a huge factor for you today, and it might throw a wrench into your carefully laid plans. It will have an elastic quality, stretching out to go way too slowly at times, and snapping back unexpectedly to fly by in a flash. Consequently, you're going to have to rely on your flexibility as well as your patience to get through today without losing your cool. Try to see it is a metaphysical obstacle course and you'll end up having a lot of fun with the unpredictability of it all.
Libra
Whatever you do today, whether it's running errands, starting a romance, or working out, do it all the way! There's no going halfway for you right now. If you do, you're cheating yourself out of an amazing opportunity. You owe it to yourself to put 100 percent of your effort into everything right now. Any solid effort you make today will take things a lot further than you had hoped. Timing is crucial, so don't put things off for another day.
Scorpio
Your long period of confidence might be going through a bumpy patch in the road. Are you looking for a sign that you're on the right track? It's not the end of the world if you doubt yourself every once in a while, so don't beat yourself up about it. You can poll your friends and relatives and ask them what they think about what you're doing, but ultimately that might confuse you more than help you. Instead, patience is your best bet for peace of mind. Just keep going and trust yourself.
Sagittarius
Concentration is the key to your success today, so keep your eye on the ball if you want to win! The goal you have in your sights right now is yours to lose, so don't worry about anyone taking the power out of your hands. You should try to avoid flighty people, even in social situations. Their unfocused energy could cause you to lose your focus as well. True friends will give you the space you need, so don't hesitate to ask for it.
Capricorn
A person from your past may make a surprise appearance today, and you have no reason not to welcome them with open arms. No matter how things were left between the two of you, right now they're better (although this person may not realize it). Their ideas could push your ambitious plans forward toward action, so listen to what they want to do and try to help make it happen. This might be harder than it sounds, so take your time and move cautiously.
Aquarius
Make a conscious effort to spend some more time with friends of yours who are in a very active phase of their lives. Their energy is something you can feed off, something that can inspire you to investigate a new direction in your life. But before you go down a new, tantalizing path, you have to take care of some important (and possibly boring) housekeeping tasks. If you're free from the details of life, you'll be free to explore new interests and ideas.
Pisces
Have you been playing a marathon game of phone tag with a friend? It's time to stop the madness. Do whatever you can to get in touch today. Put as much energy into this task as possible, because reconnecting with this person is more important than you think. While you're reaching out, give a nod or two to a schoolmate or coworker who's been working hard and getting less recognition than they deserve. Make sure everyone knows that this person deserves a round of applause.
