Aries
It's not that you live for conflict, competition and aggression
-- not at all. It's just that you happen to be, well, an
adrenaline junkie. You live for it, love it and do whatever it
takes to raise your blood pressure. Don't even bother denying
it. You know it, and anyone who knows and loves you knows it,
too. In fact (and don't ever, ever admit to them that you know)
it's a big part of the reason they love you: because you're
never, ever boring -- not by any stretch of the imagination.
Taurus
You've never been famous for your out and out love of surprises
and sudden change. Still, if anyone knows about all work and no
play, it's you -- so when something unusual and unexpected
happens, even if you're not tickled about the event itself, you
do invariably end up being quite tickled (okay, and maybe just a
touch smug) to be the one person involved who wasn't completely
thrown off-course by whatever just happened.
Gemini
When you meet someone new, you have a very specific way of
'interviewing' them for the position of friend, lover or
long-term partner: You toss words, phrases and jokes at them and
see what they hit back. For the 'interviewee,' it's rather like
trying out for a major-league team without having any idea
they're being auditioned. You'll be doing that now, but don't
feel bad about not letting them in on it. It would only make
them (more) nervous, which certainly wouldn't help their chances
any, now would it?
Cancer
If you're working hard to make something attractive to someone,
whether to sell it outright or just convince them that what
you've got on the market is worthy of their hard-earned income,
there's no time like the present to do it. The Universe will be
more than happy to inspire you lavishly and theatrically.
Whether you're writing up a description, making a presentation
or just extending your hand, there's no way for you to fail.
Just make sure you smile that great, big genuine grin.
Leo
Regardless of what the weather happens to be, you're in the mood
for a rainy day -- not because you're depressed, though. What
you're really after is just a nice, lazy day with one quality
person -- with no electronic devices in attendance. If you can,
then do it. Call in, turn off everything that makes an annoying
beeping sound and ignore the entire world. Think of it as a
'mental health day' -- which is just as important as a sick day.
Virgo
Every now and then, life has a funny way of putting us in
positions we're not happy about, one of which is being forced to
make a decision we'd rather have absolutely no part of. That may
be what you're up against now, especially if you've been keeping
a rather uncomfortable secret for an uncomfortably long time.
What you've got to decide now is what will make you feel best
about the situation. Bet you already know what that is.
Libra
Your loyalty to a friend, family member or lover is about to be
rewarded -- big time. You won't expect it, because you didn't do
whatever it was to be recognized or given a great big pat on the
back. You did it for one reason, and one reason only: because
that's just the way you're built. If you feel the need to talk
the situation over privately with someone, make sure you choose
someone who's built the same way.
Scorpio
You've never been a big fan of the spotlight -- that's no secret
-- but when you're forced into it, whether it's for a second or
an afternoon, you rise to the occasion like a champ. That's
because you, of all signs, know how to fire-walk -- how to do
exactly what needs to be done, no matter what that happens to
be. So when someone dear to you puts you center-stage to thank
you or reward you, force yourself to accept the attention
graciously.
Sagittarius
Every sign has at least one 'guilty pleasure.' Travel is at the
very top of your sign's list, and you may not have indulged
yourself in it for what seems like a very long time. If a loved
one suggests that you two take off for destinations unknown with
no more detailed plan than a roadmap, a couple of credit cards
and enough gas money to keep you two out of town for a weekend,
then -- well, let's just say it won't be an absolute nightmare
talking you into it.
Capricorn
Most people buy gifts when the occasion calls for it, like
birthdays, holidays or congratulatory events, for example. Not
you. You're far more prone to give someone something because A)
you know they'll just love it, B) they're the only person on
earth who, in your opinion, should have it, or C) because
they've either had an especially bad or an especially good week.
So when you see that perfect item now, no amount of conversation
will talk you out of wreaking havoc on your plastic.
Aquarius
veryone who loves you knows you're not much for public displays
of emotion -- but if they know you that well, they also know
that you adore being surprised. So when -- not if -- someone who
cares a great deal for you suddenly makes a grand demonstration
of their feelings for you, don't be embarrassed if a bit of
color comes to your cheeks. You're entitled to enjoy this type
of thing every now and then -- and by the way, so are they.
Pisces
If anyone out there is familiar with the concept of melodrama,
it's you -- because when your emotional cup is full, it really
runs over. That may well be the case now, even if you haven't
done one single little thing to cause it to happen. Since you
may be the only person handy who'll be able to handle the
situation, lend your expertise: Let everyone in the vicinity
know that it's impossible to be discreet and completely in
control, emotionally, at all times.
