Aries
Every once in a while, it's okay to be entertained by the soap opera lives of others. There are some particularly juicy real-life storylines going on around you, and today you get an inside glimpse at a few details. But this emotional eavesdropping isn't so much a gossip-fest as a cautionary tale. Certain aspects of a situation ring a familiar note with your past, and this is an opportunity for you to see how taking a different path could affect your life.
Taurus
You're always wide open to new, innovative ways of thinking, and this is very wise. But today, avoid the temptation to abandon an old, firmly held belief for the sake of something trendy or fadlike. Shiny new things are very attractive and can hold a certain fascination, but not everything needs to be replaced periodically, especially not your true feelings. Preserve your way of thinking if it's challenged today. Keep your point of view alive.
Gemini
This long day begins with a lot of contradictory information. You won't be sure who to believe or what path to take for quite a while. Be patient with yourself and things will slowly settle into a logical order. Until you know exactly what you want to do, stick to your usual routine and pretend that nothing out of the ordinary is going on. After all, nothing is going to change unless you make it change. You're still the one in charge, you know!
Cancer
When you need a break, you really need a break. So listen to your body and emotions as this day progresses. If you start to approach your breaking point, you'll notice some clear signals, and when you do, you hereby have official permission to coast and relax for a while. All the activity that's been going on lately in your life may be too much. It's time to shift gears, slow down, and concentrate on a developing issue with a friend or family member.
Leo
A lot of possibilities could be dangled in front of you today, mostly in the social realm. Everyone from shopkeepers to waitresses has a warm smile for you, so show your best smile right back. Extend extra kindness to everyone you meet and some tentative connections could start to develop strong foundations. It's not like you need any more friends right now, but there's nothing saying you wouldn't get a very big kick out of it.
Virgo
You have way more power in tense situations than you think you do, so use it! There's no good reason for you to be doubting your potency now, so why are you? If you need to be reminded of how important you are, get with your friends or family members and just hang out, just be you. You don't have to ask them for an ego boost (and you definitely shouldn't hint around for it). Just be genuine and relaxed and you'll start to feel better about yourself before you know it.
Libra
The efforts you've put forth start to pay off today. It seems like taking things slowly was the right idea after all. Today's activities could prove to you in a very dramatic way that taking time to plan things is the right strategy every time. When you succeed like this, you build up your confidence and your reputation. Today you should enjoy watching how all of your carefully laid plans make major things happen just like clockwork.
Scorpio
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Today, you start to understand that idea in a whole new way when someone's return to the scene is distinctly underwhelming. No worries, though. You'll have plenty of other things to look forward to during this freewheeling and all around relaxing day. Enjoy the fact that you (unlike many people) know exactly who you are and aren't afraid to be yourself. That realization keeps you smiling all day.
Sagittarius
It's important to keep your mind and body limber today, because something cool might arrive on the scene, and you'll want to be able to jump right on that bandwagon! Try to get some exercise early in the morning, even if that just means taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Getting your blood pumping early on will give you the energy you need to follow whatever whims you have. You might just discover a whole new passion.
Capricorn
You've done a lot in your life that you deserve to be proud of, and learned some valuable lessons. But today you encounter someone or something unusual that puts you in a situation you've never experienced before. Nothing you've been through has prepared you for this, but you have a ton of fun working your way through it. This is a whole new ballgame, one that stimulates and inspires you. You get a taste of where your future could take you.
Aquarius
The truth is there are always obstacles of some shape or size in your way. You just can't always see them. For a while now, there have been some things slowing down your progress, and you've been unable (or perhaps unwilling) to get a grasp on them. But that could change today. There is brighter clarity within you right now, and your emotional maturity has reached a crucial point that may allow you to face the truth and move on. The freedom will inspire you.
Pisces
Online shopping is a wonderful thing, but it's filled with as much garbage as treasures. Your junk detector isn't doing so well right now, so you might want to stay away from shopping for anything now. Your bank balance will thank you. The fierce urge to shop you feel isn't something to obey at the moment, and it's probably fueled by your desire for distraction from what's really bothering you. Retail therapy isn't the way to go.
