Aries
Emotional news is coming to your family today -- try to keep in
touch throughout the day so you can stay abreast of what is
going on. The news could be confusing at first, so it would be a
good idea to get everyone in the same room to process it
together. Your role within your circle of relatives will be an
important one -- you can help keep everyone from overreacting or
flying off the handle. They need you now almost more than you
need them. Who knew the tables would turn like this?
Taurus
It's just like you to bend over backwards to help a friend in
need, but haven't you noticed that this friend needs you an
awful lot? If you want to stay content with this relationship,
then you need to speak up when you are starting to feel taken
advantage of. You don't have to pick a fight, but you do have to
stand up for yourself -- they would expect nothing less of you.
In fact, they might be waiting for you to push back and force
them to be more independent.
Gemini
Are you feeling a little bit more thrifty than usual? It's not
surprising, given the recent fiscal headaches that you have been
dealing with. But before you swing into full-on panic mode, stop
and take a deep breath. Something inside of you is pulling you
toward a more cautious type of fiscal behavior, and all you have
to do is follow it. Your interests are moving away from
acquiring material goods -- you want more substance and less
flash from life.
Cancer
Clarity is especially important right now, because you need to
make sure the people you are dealing with completely understand
who you are and what you are willing to do. Put extra effort in
when it comes to making sure you are saying what you mean and
confirming that people understand what you are trying to say. If
you don't, conflicts could start to brew. Double check any
emails you send today, and go over your end of a conversation
before you let the words fall from your lips.
Leo
If you are only acting modest because you don't want to come off
as being too cocky, then you are not being honest! Don't feel
guilty about enjoying the praise you get when you do something
remarkable -- embrace it! After all, you're not exactly the type
of person who would rent a billboard to promote each and every
achievement, so you don't have to ever worry about people
thinking that you have a big head. They know you better than
that -- give them some credit!
Virgo
Put all of your compassionate energy to good use today by
offering aid to those in need. You don't have to hop on a plane
to a third world country -- there are plenty of people right in
your own little corner of the world who could use your help. You
know, right now, there's someone in your life who could use a
hand with a work project, a home repair, a relationship problem,
or maybe even help moving into a new home! Offer to lend a hand
to this person at some point today.
Libra
The nutty behavior that's been happening in your social circle
might be driving you nuts, but it doesn't directly involve you
-- so don't insert yourself into the drama today. Keep your head
down and avoid picking sides. It is possible for you to remain
neutral, despite what one of the main players says. So don't
succumb to their pressure. They may see things as black and
white, but you see both sides of this issue. Luckily, things
should be quieting down soon.
Scorpio
Today you need to pick up your feet and get moving more
aggressively toward one of your goals. It's not going to come to
you! Sure, it might seem hard to attain, and it probably will
take more than one day to attain it. But it's important for you
to believe that you can get what you want -- you just have to
start reaching for it! Show the universe that you are ready to
put your money where your mouth is. There is no reason for any
hesitation, so just do it.
Sagittarius
Your growing ambition makes you mismatched with a mellow friend
-- if you two have social plans soon, you need to work harder to
adjust to their way of thinking if you want to have a good time.
You can't talk about your career or other aspirations and expect
them to be interested. Their influence in your life is good, so
you should welcome the chance to talk about deeper ideas and
more spiritual concepts. You're lucky to have such a diverse
group of friends in your life -- embrace it.
Capricorn
Is your mind on tomorrow? Get it back to thinking about today!
You have got to deal with the people who are in your life right
now -- and the issues at hand. It's good to be mindful of the
future and have goals you want to achieve, but if you're
ignoring the present, you are missing out on a lot. So instead
of thinking about what you are going to do this weekend or
planning for your next vacation, focus on the next few hours. In
them, you should make contact with at least one of your favorite
people.
Aquarius
Any issues that pop up around the house today won't be terribly
dramatic, but they do require your undivided attention. They
represent a real change you need to make in your self. If there
is a conflict over cleanliness, perhaps you need to get rid of
the clutter in the emotional parts of your life? Throwing out
garbage doesn't only refer to potato peels, old newspapers, and
egg shells! Your negative feelings and self-doubt may need to
get tossed to the curb, too!
Pisces
Make sure you do whatever it takes to get some peace and quiet
today. It's healthy to have time by yourself every once in a
while, and today is as good a time as any. Your creativity has
not been as sharp as you are used to it being, and you could use
a recharge. Do something fun that is best done alone -- read a
juicy novel, rent a silly movie that you're almost embarrassed
to love so much, or take a long bath. Get a short break from the
action and the energy of other people. Horoscopes @astrology.com
