Aries
Fresh ideas can be hard to recognize, especially today, when you might be distracted by someone's good news. But have no fear. With grace and happiness, you're able to effortlessly support the people you love and still impress the people you admire. Listen carefully for positive feedback. It's the signpost showing you the way toward innovative thinking. The people around you know there's more to you than meets the eye, so believe them when they say you can move mountains.
Taurus
You're moving into a quieter, more reflective period, so today would be a great time to finish up any public-centered business or errands. Any relationships that need your attention should get it as soon as possible, because you're going to need more flexibility to be able to retreat to your private world soon. Your energy is beginning to lag a bit, so a late afternoon walk or run is just the ticket to give you the boost you need to make it through tonight.
Gemini
Any transactions you're part of today could have a long-lasting effect on your financial health, so take a very conservative approach to how you spend your hard-earned dollars. Bargain hunting is a skill you should develop. It's a critical time for you to invest, so if you can begin a retirement account or increase your current investment allocations, this would be very wise to do. It's never too early to start thinking ahead.
Cancer
Taking an impersonal point of view is the right approach, especially this afternoon when the folks around you will be playing some major emotional games. If you're in a professional situation when this happens, distance yourself as quickly as possible, and let the powers that be know you have nothing to do with the soap opera. If you're in a personal situation, skip the sweet talk and face up to being honest with the people stirring the pot.
Leo
A brief encounter with an unpleasant person gives you a new perspective on where you are in your life right now. Observing the flaws of others enables you to understand how truly strong you are, and you should use this strength to find peace in a potentially explosive situation. Your diplomacy serves you well when you take stock of all the gifts you have in life. Extend a kind hand to the people who use anger to hide their sadness.
Virgo
You're at the halfway point on a very special journey today, but you're in for a surprise. At a certain point you may suddenly wonder whether or not you should turn around and head back the way you came or keep on going. After all, equal effort is required, and equal reward is promised. There's no wrong decision to make, but keep in mind that the road ahead is full of mystery. And that's inherently a lot more fun than a road you know like the back of your hand.
Libra
Are you growing increasingly impatient with someone who just can't seem to make up their mind? Their answers or actions are not coming quickly enough, and it looks like what you're waiting for may never come. This isn't necessarily bad news, by the way. Today you should start to get comfortable with that idea. There's still a chance that things could swing the way you want them to, but it would be wiser not to put all of your eggs into that one basket right now.
Scorpio
You're the glue in your social circle, so for the good of the group you may need to step up and get everyone together. Plan a dinner party, a casual night out, or something totally off-the-wall for you. Bowling? Paintball? The goal is to get everyone on neutral ground so reconnections can happen. Don't take it personally if the whole gang can't get together, though. You're just supposed to create the opportunity for reunion, not ensure it.
Sagittarius
If you're ready to push things in a new direction in the romantic realm of your life, today is the perfect day. Share your thoughts with the person who intrigues you most and see how they react. Total honesty is required if you want to do this right, so don't be afraid to fully disclose how you're feeling. After all, if you're going to trust them with your heart, you have to start trusting them with your feelings. The sooner you have this discussion, the sooner you'll know your chances.
Capricorn
For the sake of your self-esteem, when you see a chance to get ahead today, take it. Save the conservative thinking and deep contemplation for another time. This phase of your life is meant to be full of action and risk-taking. You're going to have to get comfortable with the idea that you can't hit a home run every time you step up to the plate. Expecting a perfect score every time isn't realistic and could be paralyzing.
Aquarius
Sometimes life is all about give and take, and right now you might be feeling that it's time to start giving a bit more. It's not that you've been acting selfishly. It's just that you should learn what it's like to sacrifice. There could be an opportunity for you to get something you've always wanted, but you'll have to give up something too. This sacrifice could involve something as minor as some of your free time or as major as a cherished possession.
Pisces
You might feel as if your fate is in other people's hands now, but the truth is that you're the only one in control of your destiny, now and always. Moreover, whatever happens today you can deal with using your customary composure. While the people around you are certainly powerful, they don't hold a candle to you now. You're totally in charge! Spend time with the people in your life you care about, and remember what matters most.
