Aries
This may be a good time to decide on career goals. Definitely aim toward the top rung of the ladder. You can reach it. Try to plan a course of action for yourself. With the support of friends and co-workers, you might be able to meet your goals faster than you predict. You may see a new and better way of doing things. Don't be afraid to share your ideas with others.
Back
Taurus
Other people's idea of a fun trend might be your idea of a fashion nightmare. A certain person's dress sense or hairstyle might give you a headache. If that doesn't do it, the attitude certainly will. Try to find your sense of humor in relation to it all. Sure, it may not be knee-slapping funny, but it's also nothing to get in a tizzy over. Some people just need attention, that's all. As for you, you may not feel like doling it out on command, and that works, too.

Gemini
Keep your eyes and ears open. A lot of information is floating around right now, and you could benefit from picking up on some of it. If you get interested in an argument, avoid taking sides until you've heard all the different perspectives. Otherwise, you may end up switching back and forth several times and embarrassing yourself. You are easy to sway at this time. That's not a bad thing; it just means you are very open-minded.
Back
Cancer
It may be difficult for you to collaborate with other people at this time. You have very definite ideas about everything, and it may upset you to hear different opinions. Keep in mind that one should not get too emotional over business matters. Try to breathe deeply and take a step back. If all else fails, attend to a solo project while re-memorizing the definition of 'compromise'. It may come in handy.
Back
Leo
When you and another strong-willed soul come into conflict today, it may truly be a clash of the Titans. You don't want to cause any lasting bad feelings, so try to calm down early on in the game and call for a truce. Once the white flag is out, you can negotiate terms. It's very likely that neither party will be completely satisfied, but at least everyone can come away with something. You may have to make a sacrifice. Remember, you're probably not the only one who feels this way.
Back
Virgo
Finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning? Maybe it's time to mix things up a little bit. Fix it so that the first things you do actually interest you. You'll be amazed what a change it makes. You'll practically leap out of bed at the first buzz of the alarm clock. Well, maybe it won't be so extreme, but a little bit of change can definitely spice things up quite a bit. Try it and see.
Back
Libra
Fun, flirty Librans are likely to have a ball today. There's plenty of eye candy wandering around. Should you actually be in the mood to take it one step further and actually talk to someone, you'll probably be very successful. Romance isn't the only thing on the forecast, though. There's definitely something to be said for friendship, too. Strike up a conversation with a new acquaintance or colleague.
Back
Scorpio
Your home life might be far from blissful at the moment. A parent or older sibling might decide to run things for you, and you're probably not at all grateful for the intrusion. Try to see it in a positive light -- after all, they probably think they're helping you -- instead of fuming over it. Likewise, don't brood if one of the members of your household doesn't go along with your redecorating plan. Fuming and brooding will only lead to you being in a funk.
Back
Sagittarius
You have great conversational skills and a whole lotta charm on your side right now. People are dazzled by your allure. It doesn't matter if they've known you forever or if they just met you for the first time. You're just the kind of person that other people want to confide in. You seem like you wouldn't be fazed by anything. More than likely, this impression is quite accurate.
Back
Capricorn
A certain employment offer or business partnership might really appeal to you. If anything, it might be a little too seductive -- it's eliminating your better judgment. Better put a stop to that! Before you give your two week's notice or make plans to move, try to talk to other people who've been in your same position. It could be altogether different than you're picturing. Be a cautious optimist instead of a cockeyed one.
Back
Aquarius
It should be an absolutely wonderful day for Aquarians. Your Age has arrived, and even if it's only for a little while, you're sure to enjoy it to the fullest. Share that Aquarian magic with others. Talk to large groups of people if possible. Even if people aren't instantly inspired to jump on your bandwagon (and many of them will be), they'll definitely remember you in the future. Great things could start right now.
Back
Pisces
You may be trying to focus on too many things at once. If a state-of-the-art computer can only have so many programs running before it crashes, why shouldn't the same be true for you? Figure out what you want to worry about and what should be put to rest for now. Otherwise, you'll overextend yourself and then you'll have to waste time brushing yourself off and recovering from the stress of it all. That would be no fun at all. It's far better to take some proactive measures.
