Aries
Minor difficulties over money could put you into a state of sheer frustration. The problems are not earthshaking, but still need to be handled and could take up a lot of your time which you would rather spend doing something else. Giving in to your frustration could waste more time than simply handling the situation and moving on, however. Try to keep your cool, dear Aries. Take your problems in both your hands, resolve them, and move on.

Taurus
A Web site or TV documentary could put you in touch with a promising educational or spiritual organization whose goals and aims seem to match nearly perfectly with your own beliefs, dear Taurus. This could capture your interest and cause you to want to learn more. A friend may also want to explore this territory. Attend a class or workshop together, and experience their programs directly. You may want to get actively involved.

Gemini
Some strange and mystical dreams, possibly involving angels or other spiritual beings, could come your way tonight, dear Gemini. The messages conveyed by the dreams could well shed light on a romantic relationship that you might not have understood recently. Therefore, keep a notebook by your bed tonight so that you can write down the details of the dream as soon as you wake up. You’ll want to consider them all very carefully to see if you can figure out what is going on.

Cancer
Social events taking place today could put you in touch with people in the arts, dear Cancer, particularly those such as film, television, recording, and computer graphics, which combine creativity with modern technology. If you’re single, one of them might even be a potential romantic partner. If nothing else, these people could provide you with valuable insights and contacts so that you can advance your own career, particularly if it’s artistic in nature. Be attentive, and enjoy your evening.

Leo
Much of your day, dear Leo, could be spent advancing the interests of an organization dedicated to a cause that means a lot to you, perhaps animal or children’s rights. You tend to be service-oriented by nature, and today something you learn, perhaps from TV or the Internet, could excite your desire to make a difference to those you wish to serve. Expect to derive a lot of satisfaction from this. You ARE making a difference!

Virgo
If you’re single, dear Virgo, a new love could appear right there in your neighborhood. The person should be attractive, intelligent, free-spirited, and very much attracted to you! You could meet this person in an unusual way and end up spending some time together and making plans to spend more. Take care not to move too fast. You won’t want this new relationship to be like a meteor, burning out as quickly as it appeared.

Libra
Some minor money matters may need to be handled today, dear Libra, and you might find this irritating, as you probably have other things you’d rather be doing. The situation might cause some petty friction with family members, but that will pass. However, you’ll be able to muster all your innate skills and get the money matters handled, which will leave the rest of the day to do what you want. Hang in there!

Scorpio
Have you been reading a lot of romantic novels lately, dear Scorpio? This is probably because love is very much on your mind right now. You may be involved in a passionate relationship or hoping for one. However, if it’s the latter, don’t expect to remain alone for very long. All signs are that romance is going to become a top priority with you for a while, starting now. Make sure you look your best whenever you go out!

Sagittarius
Sometimes you can be strong in voicing your opinions, Sagittarius. When you feel passionately about something, nothing and no one can hold you back! Today you might be inspired to speak up about a cause that stirs you up. You could be drawn to a political issue or a social one. Don’t be afraid to stand your ground. Your unique viewpoint could prove enlightening to other people. So dare to be a trailblazer now!

Capricorn
Have love matters been causing you excessive strain for a while now, dear Capricorn? If so, you can expect that to end now. Someone you love very deeply reciprocates your feelings and, if there are differences between you, is very anxious to resolve them and look toward the future. This relationship will probably succeed if you go in with eyes wide open. Don’t have unrealistic expectations of your partner. Learn to love human flaws as much as perfections.

Aquarius
Obligations to others might have you inclining towards staying home today, dear Aquarius, but important issues career-wise might pull you to go in to work in spite of this. This might cause some inner conflict, and you may have to face a choice. Only you can make the choice, but take care to be objective and take all the facts into consideration. Don’t get yourself all worked up emotionally. This will only exacerbate the situation.

Pisces
Love certainly seems to be making the world go round today, dear Pisces. Is everyone around you deeply involved in a new or revitalized romantic relationship? You yourself may be smitten with a very exciting person, perhaps from a foreign country or in the field of law, education, or publishing. Don’t fight it, and don’t worry about being hurt. Relax, and let yourself be loved. If nothing else, you should have a wonderful day!

Aries
This may be a bit of a tricky day, dear Aries, as you feel the pull of conflicting demands and desires. On one hand, you feel obligations to your career and to fulfilling the demands of your employers and clients. On the other hand, your loved ones miss you and would like to have you around more. There’s no easy answer today, but you might want to consider ways to delegate more work so that you can spend more time with your loved ones.

Taurus
It doesn’t seem fair that your workload has actually increased in these last few days. Never mind that you still have all of your normal tasks to do and your boss expects you to finalize a new budget and write a proposal as well. Enlist the help of others if you can. And if you can’t, simply do the best that you can without sacrificing time with your family and loved ones. Ultimately, dear Taurus, the latter is more important than the former.

Gemini
You’ve been extremely busy these past few months, working extra hours at the office then going out with friends late at night. This sort of behavior is referred to as “burning the candle at both ends,” and it rarely has a happy ending, dear Gemini. You need to make room for some quiet time in your life, ideally with someone special. It is likely that your romantic partner is missing you and would jump at the opportunity for an intimate evening with you.

Cancer
Expect for today’s planetary energies to raise your social consciousness, dear Cancer. You may be distracted with thoughts of the homeless man you saw on your way to work or the television special you saw on babies with AIDS. You may be reflecting on your connection to and responsibilities toward humanity. Why don’t you consider putting aside a little time or money for the charity of your choice? If you’re feeling these urges, don’t hesitate to act on them!

Leo
Expect a lot of letters and phone calls today, dear Leo, from lovers, close friends, or children. You might also want to make a few yourself. Some positive and interesting information may have come your way which you’ll want to share with those close to you. You could also want to try your hand at writing. You’ll want to make sure that you remember whatever it is you learn today, dear Leo, as it could prove valuable in the future.

Virgo
The planetary energy makes this a good day for thoughtful contemplation rather than action, dear Virgo. If you feel the urge to impulse buy, don’t. Sleep on any purchasing decisions, and if you still feel the same way tomorrow, go for it. Also, if you find yourself in the middle of a conflict at work, try not to take sides. Tell anyone who’s asking for your opinion that you need time to think about it. Consider scheduling an hour of meditation for yourself. The keyword for today is “zen.”

Libra
Passion and romance are in the air, dear Libra, so make the most of the great atmosphere! Everyone seems to be in a festive mood. You feel close to others and feel profound gratitude for the loved ones in your life. Consider leaving work early and going home to snuggle up close with your special someone. Be sure to be extra-open with sharing your feelings today.

Scorpio
You may receive some upsetting news from a family member today, dear Scorpio. It may have you reeling for a moment, but when you take the time to think about it some more, you realize that things are not as troubling as they first seemed. Be sure to get all the facts before taking any action. You want to be sure to do what’s right for the situation.

Sagittarius
Today you could act as a teacher or a guide, Sagittarius. You might be in a position to offer your expertise at work. Perhaps you have certain real life experiences that your associates lack. You might want to offer some anecdotes from your own adventures. Don’t be afraid to speak up and to be clear. Others will benefit from the information that you can bring to the table!

Capricorn
Today you may realize that your friend is actually your soul mate, dear Capricorn. You have been spending a lot of time together lately attending various social events and have come to realize how much you look forward to each other’s company. Your new level of affection seems so obvious, but it would be a good idea to put your feelings into words. If you can’t muster up the courage to do so, express your thoughts in the form of a gift.

Aquarius
You may be feeling a bit at odds with the rest of the world right now, dear Aquarius, as you yearn for some quiet time to yourself. See if you can find a balance today between spending time with your family and spending time alone. If you set the alarm to wake up before everyone else, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of dawn. If you’re not an early riser, you can always fib that you’re off to shop and sequester yourself in the library for a few hours of blissful solitude.

Pisces
You have a warm and sensitive nature, dear Pisces, and today you could be feeling especially tuned into the feelings of others. Romance is very much on your mind as are all things sensual. If you’re out shopping, you will likely be drawn to silk, cashmere, and other luxury fabrics. Don’t hesitate to indulge this passionate side of yourself. Your mate is likely to be quite appreciative!

Aries
Dreams or visions could bring sudden and exciting insights with regard to career issues, dear Aries. These dreams could steer you toward books, Web sites, and other sources of information that can provide further guidance that could well prove invaluable. The source of your insights may be rather unorthodox, but don’t write them off for that. Think of them as messages from your Higher Self, and make the most of them.

Taurus
Your optimism and enthusiasm should be very high today, dear Taurus. Business and partnerships have been proving both satisfying and profitable lately, and you could receive information today about new doors that could open up for you unexpectedly. You’ve worked hard, supposedly without results, for a long time, and now it seems like everything’s happening at once. This is very exciting, but remember that if you want to maintain your current pace, you have to keep working! Get going

Gemini
Working on projects that require imagination and sensitivity could well take up a lot of your time today, dear Gemini. Some in-depth research may be involved. The work might require a lot of energy and concentration, perhaps more than you’d expected, but nonetheless, in the end you should be more than satisfied with the results. Just make sure to take breaks, and don’t forget to eat. You’ll need the fuel, after all!

Cancer
Words of love, perhaps of a very idealistic nature, could be exchanged today between you and a romantic partner, dear Cancer. One of you could even write a song or poem for the other. This can be a very healing and transformative experience and could therefore make both of you feel very good. The only downside is that you could well view each other through rose-colored glasses. Remember, you’re both human! Enjoy your day.

Leo
Studies of intellectual or spiritual subjects that particularly interest you could keep you at home for much of the day, dear Leo. More than one visitor might drop by in order to discuss these matters with you, perhaps bringing a few books with them. Discussions could take on an imaginative, idealistic, and even mystical tone, which could prove inspiring for all involved. Make notes of whatever comes up in these conversations. You’ll want to be sure to remember them.

Virgo
A chance to travel, perhaps for business purposes, could present itself to you today, dear Virgo. This might require some temporary adjustments in your personal life, but don’t let this stop you. You’ll want to make the most of whatever new opportunities come your way at this time. Career success is highly indicated, and this could make a profound and positive difference in the course your life is taking. Go for the gold!

Libra
Imagination combines with intellectual abilities to enable you to make some creative changes to your home, dear Libra. This could be something minor, such as purchasing some new plants, or a major project, such as remodeling or redecorating. Whatever you choose to do, you’re likely to channel a lot of your energy into it right now in order to produce results with which you and the other members of your household can be happy. Have fun!

Scorpio
A trip to the library could be on your agenda for today, dear Scorpio, as you may need to track down some intellectual, spiritual, or practical information required for a task or project you’re working on. You may find yourself spending more time there than you’d originally planned as you might discover new facts or ideas that open up fascinating new trains of thought. If your time is limited, make sure you keep track of the hour! If not, have fun!

Sagittarius
You might not finish everything today that is on your mind and you’ve started getting a handle on. Yes, it is good to start out by making a list of the items that you need to get done. Ranking them in order of priority is even better. Your mind is sharp and your energy level high, so there is a good chance that you can get most of the items on your list done, if you just go about it efficiently. Good luck!

Capricorn
New enterprises, perhaps involving writing, speaking or publishing, which you’ve worked for a long time towards perfecting might pay off today, dear Capricorn. Success definitely appears to be in the wind, and those in authority may be more than impressed with what you’ve been trying to achieve. Grab the gold ring now and take advantage of this opportunity, as it might be a long time before another one comes around. Onward and upward!

Aquarius
Professional interests are definitely served today by your innate intuition and fertile imagination, dear Aquarius. Writing, speaking, or the dramatic arts may be involved. If your career involves communication in any form, expect to capture the interest of a lot of people at this time. Positive career changes are in the wind although they may not be apparent to you just yet. This is not the time to worry about the future. For now, let your imagination guide you.

Pisces
Your mind is probably taking a mystical turn, dear Pisces. This is, therefore, a great day to study spiritual or metaphysical concepts or to expand your knowledge of such fields as astrology, numerology, or other divinations. Books and lectures may be brought to your attention, and discussions with friends who share your interests should set your mind going a thousand miles an hour. Don’t let today pass you by. Expand your mind.

Aries

Aries
Aries, you need to put your life and yourself back into balance this week. If you don’t, your personal biorhythm and internal tempo will get seriously off kilter, and that’s not a good situation for a hot-blooded and rash Ram! Consider changing your attitude a bit and you’ll achieve more harmony in your life. On Friday medical issues are your number one concern as the Moon in your health sector trines Jupiter, the lucky planet. You’ve been worried about an ongoing medical issue, and now you’ll actively seek out ways you can improve your health and vitality.

Taurus
Stormy weather is on the horizon for you this week, Taurus, but don’t worry, you have a big enough umbrella to protect you once it starts raining. On Monday the Moon in Leo opposes your ruling planet, Venus, in Aquarius, and you’ll experience a challenging emotional situation. Let your practicality guide you. You believe in the material world, but on Sunday your desire to seek answers from the Universe accentuates as the illuminating Sun enters your sector of philosophy. You want to know what your purpose is and find your true destiny. You’ll receive answers very soon.

Gemini
Practice makes perfect, Gemini. You have a lot of scattered energy, and you believe that the first time you attempt a new endeavor you’ll instinctively grasp the mechanics involved. That’s not always true. On Monday you’ll spend a lot of time trying to master a new skill. Your ability to control your emotions comes in handy on Friday as the Moon in analytical Virgo in your home sector squares the Sun in Sagittarius. A family member or roommate tries everything possible to provoke you, but you’ll see through this person and not buy into his or her game plan.

Cancer
Communicating with others will be especially hard for you on Monday, Cancer. Remember that just because you soak up vibrations and impressions like a sponge, it doesn’t mean you can effectively communicate your thoughts and feelings to others. Don’t attempt to engage in any in-depth discussions early this week. On Sunday your energy level may sag a bit as the Sun enters Capricorn opposite your personal sign of the Crab. Make your health your main concern for the next several weeks. Put yourself on a regimen designed to boost your immune system. Eat right, exercise, and surround yourself with greenery.

Leo
Persistence pays off for you this week, Leo. On Monday dynamic Mars squares Saturn in your sector of values and you’ll have to decide just how much you want to achieve a certain goal. If your heart really is in the project, then you’re going to have to go above and beyond the call of duty to obtain your desire. You have trouble relating to one of your associates on Friday. Remember that not everyone you know will respond positively to your sunny and personable charm and radiance, so don’t take this situation to heart.

Virgo
You’re looking for the right way to turn down a relative who keeps asking you for a favor. You hit on the right response on Tuesday as Mars in your sector of home and family sextiles Neptune. Because of your conscientiousness, you’re the go-to person in your family if anyone needs help, but this week you have an enormous number of your own responsibilities. Don’t feel guilty about saying no. On Wednesday your sense of self-confidence and belief in yourself ratchets up considerably. You have tremendous strength and fortitude. You just need to remember that!

Libra
Keeping up with your close friend isn’t easy, Libra. Yes, you have a lot in common and you enjoy each other’s company, but there’s a strong spirit of competition between the two of you. You may be trying to best your friend more often than you think. On Monday you think about what friendship really means to you. On Saturday your ability to think clearly evaporates as the Moon in Libra in your sector of self squares Mercury. Step back from the circumstances, and don’t make any decisions until your mind clears.

Scorpio
You revamp the way you’re dealing with a certain situation this week, Scorpio. The problem you’re faced with reminds you of a dilemma that you dealt with in the past, but in all truth, the two situations are radically different. You may be unconsciously trying to go back in time and change the past. That could be the reason you’re having so much trouble coping with your current issue. On Sunday your imagination takes flight as the brilliant Sun enters Capricorn and your sector of the mind. Your ability to write creatively increases considerably.

Sagittarius
Your motor is revved up and ready to go, Sagittarius, thanks to the presence of dynamic Mars in Sagittarius in your sector of self. In fact, you may be so energized that you find it hard to slow down or concentrate. On Thursday you hit burnout mode as the Moon in frenetic Virgo squares Mars. Get plenty of rest and relaxation even if you have to pencil downtime into your schedule. You evaluate your goals and plans starting on Sunday. Spend time over the next several weeks reflecting on your current life situation and create a new life plan.

Aquarius
You can’t figure out where an associate of yours is coming from no matter how hard you try, Aquarius. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for you to deal with this person’s behavior toward you. Your dilemma hits a peak on Monday as the Moon in your sector of rivals opposes Venus in Aquarius. Let your famous tolerance and understanding of human nature kick in and you’ll maintain your serenity. On Sunday keep a pen and paper near your bed so you can write down your dreams when you awaken.

Capricorn
Hurray! The brilliant and beaming Sun enters Capricorn and your sector of self on Sunday, and your birthday month kicks off with the start of the Solstice. Yes, you’re so important in the Universe that you have a seasonal change along with the commencement of your yearly celebration of you. What else would you expect? After all, you’re ruled by Saturn, the taskmaster planet of the cosmos. This week is all about you, so please don’t feel the least bit guilty about enjoying yourself. Get ready for a wonderful year ahead, one filled with many changes and diverse experiences.

Aquarius
You can’t figure out where an associate of yours is coming from no matter how hard you try, Aquarius. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for you to deal with this person’s behavior toward you. Your dilemma hits a peak on Monday as the Moon in your sector of rivals opposes Venus in Aquarius. Let your famous tolerance and understanding of human nature kick in and you’ll maintain your serenity. On Sunday keep a pen and paper near your bed so you can write down your dreams when you awaken.

Pisces
Cheer up, Pisces! On Monday you’re down in the dumps as Mars squares Saturn opposite your personal sign. Yes, your best friend and traveling companion has moved away and you’re feeling lost right now, but you’ll change that scenario very soon. Luckily for you, you’re getting a cosmic boost in your search for good companionship, thanks to the entry of the brilliant Sun in your sector of friends on Sunday. Consider joining a group in a subject that interests you and you’ll find several like-minded souls to converse and bond with over the next several weeks.

Aries
Communication with partners is likely to be poor to nonexistent today, dear Aries. Therefore, this is not the time to enter into contract negotiations or other discussions that could affect your future in a major way. The prevailing mood is down, so whatever you decide today is apt to reflect that mood. It might be best to wait a few days until everyone’s in a more positive frame of mind. Hang in there!

Taurus
Whatever work you do today, dear Taurus, may go more slowly than usual as you are apt to be a bit distracted. You may be preoccupied with the past, especially with feelings and events you thought you’d long forgotten popping in and out of your head and affecting your mood in various ways. If you can, this might be a good day to concentrate on routine tasks that you can do automatically. That way, you’ll be as productive as always.

Gemini
Phone calls and e-mails between you and your friends may get misplaced or otherwise go astray, dear Gemini. A little patience is called for when trying to reach anyone at this time, especially if modern technology is involved. If a matter is urgent, it might be best to do the old-fashioned thing and actually go see the person in question. That’s the only way to ensure reaching anyone right now.

Cancer
Delays and frustrations could well plague you throughout the day, dear Cancer, especially in regard to communications. A young visitor you’re expecting to come to your home today may be delayed in some way and might not be able to ring you up and inform you of such. Don’t waste any time worrying. Your friend is probably safe and will eventually turn up. Congested traffic and other unforeseen annoyances are probably to blame. Hang in there.

Leo
If you’ve been thinking about taking a trip, dear Leo, this is not the day to make your plans. Whatever you learn today about airline schedules, hotels, etc. may not reflect the situation as it really is. If you wait a few days, however, things should go far more smoothly. If you already have plans to leave, expect some delays, and don’t let them put you into a gloomy state of mind! Make up your mind to have fun anyway!

Virgo
Group activities might prove a little unsettling today for you, dear Virgo. Animated discussions could turn into angry quarrels, and this could offend your desire for harmony. A lot of misinformation could be exchanged today and might cause confusion and short tempers. Stay home if you can, but if you must go, don’t be afraid to leave at the first sign of arguments. They aren’t likely to accomplish much after that anyway.

Libra
An invitation to a social event may come to you today, dear Libra, and you probably won’t want to go. The people involved may not have anything in common with you, and you’ll probably feel the event will be tedious and boring. Nonetheless, there may be business factors involved that may have you thinking you should go anyway. How urgent is the business? How important are the contacts to you? Think about it before accepting or declining.

Scorpio
Attempt to contact others in different states or foreign countries today could go awry, dear Scorpio, as technological marvels which we tend to take for granted such as telephones and the Internet could go awry. There isn’t much point in making yourself crazy, as this is beyond human control. The only thing you can do is wait! In the meantime, do something else that you love to do.

Sagittarius
Today you might decide that you need a break from chores and mundane responsibilities, Sagittarius. See if you can take the entire day just to play! Or indulge in a long, lazy lunch or brunch and spend some time relaxing with friends. Your energy levels might be a little low, and you won’t want to push yourself too hard. Maybe you need to go to be early and get caught up on some much-needed sleep. Take care of yourself.

Capricorn
This might be a good day to spend taking some time to yourself, dear Capricorn. Contact with others, no matter how much you love them, isn’t likely to go well as most people are likely to be in restless and uncertain moods. This is a good day to catch up on your reading or web-surfing, and to work on projects of your own that you may have been letting for a while. You can always contact your friends tomorrow!

Aquarius
Today you might be trying to learn about a new form of modern technology, perhaps computer-related, dear Aquarius, and you could find it too confusing for words. Your brain might be going into overload, so it’s probably best to take it one step at a time, and take it slowly! It’s also important to remember to take breaks and clear your head. Too much information all at once might result in your not being able to absorb any of it.

Pisces
This is not the day to take care of paperwork, dear Pisces, particularly if it involves money. Your mental processes are slower than usual, and you may find that you’re easily distracted. Your mood won’t be all that great, either, so it might be a good idea to wait a few days before tackling tasks like this. If the work is urgent, don’t be afraid to ask for help. You’ll be able to stay more focused if you do.

Aries
Do you like detective stories, dear Aries? If so, you may find them of use today as you play the role of Sherlock Holmes. A missing object, an intellectual problem, or a mystery of some kind appearing in your life could have you curious enough to search for the truth. This is a good way to train your powers of observation although intuition will probably play a strong role in your success. Go to it, and have fun!

Taurus
A business or romantic partner may seem to be a bit preoccupied today with some very serious matters, dear Taurus - and is not likely to share with you what they are. Asking your partner to talk about it won’t work, so you’ll probably end up depending on your intuition. Your friend is probably concerned with the health of a family member who may need surgery. Don’t feel excluded. Your friend will talk when the time is right. Be patient!

Gemini
Some rather extensive and annoying paperwork might need to be dealt with, dear Gemini. It’ll probably require all your attention, so, if you can, take care of it first thing in the morning when you’re still fresh. This might be a contract, or it could be an insurance policy or something else full of unintelligible jargon. Don’t be afraid to ask someone familiar with it to explain the language to you!

Cancer
A fascinating article that you read in the newspaper could inspire you to try to create a mystery story of your own, dear Cancer. Today your mind is perfectly suited to thinking up twists and turns of plot and interesting but complex characters. You could tell the story to children, or you might even decide to turn it into a novel. Jot down your ideas, and look at them again tomorrow. Then if you want to continue, go for it!

Leo
An important lost object, perhaps a paper of some kind, could take up the attention of your entire household, dear Leo. This could prove frustrating at first because you’ll all know that it has to be somewhere in the house but you can’t find it anywhere! The item may reappear just as you’ve given up on it - in a place you would never have even imagined! Tip: it’s probably hidden among other objects.

Virgo
Someone in your neighborhood has disappeared, dear Virgo. No one has seen this person for a while, and no word has been left with anyone. Gossip could spread like wildfire as everyone imagines the worst. Listening to rumors probably doesn’t appeal to your innate sense of fairness; nonetheless, you’re wondering, too. However, your neighbors will probably experience a mixture of relief and disappointment when your friend turns up alive, well, and in good spirits. Mystery (mostly) solved!

Libra
You might have some paperwork to take care of today, dear Libra, that could make a big difference to your financial future. This could be a contract, settlement, or agreement of some kind. Whatever it is, you may need to seek some assistance before you execute it. The language might be difficult to understand, and some of the clauses might not feel right to you. This can be frustrating. However, it’s important to do it today. Don’t wait.

Scorpio
The study of psychology might be especially appealing for you today, dear Scorpio. Some new discoveries in this field, which you may have heard about in the mass media, could have piqued your interest and might propel you toward the library to find books on the subject. This is a good time to pursue this. Your mind is in the right space to understand it, and it could shed a lot of light on those around you - including yourself!

Sagittarius
You might feel a little distracted today, Sagittarius. You may want to keep your calendar on hand so that you don’t forget any important appointments. Or you might need to ask an assistant to remind you of your engagements. Take your time, because the more you rush, the more you could forget! If you can pace yourself, you’ll be able to focus better. Just handle one thing at a time.

Capricorn
A group activity could lead to discussions of famous unsolved mysteries, dear Capricorn. Jack the Ripper, the Black Dahlia, the truth about OJ Simpson, and other intriguing problems might capture the interest of everyone present and might lead to some animated debates over possible solutions. You might want to make mental notes of the ideas everyone comes up with. Each possible solution could tell you a lot about the person proposing it!

Aquarius
A young colleague could be leaving your place of employment under strange circumstances, dear Aquarius, and this could come as a shock to you. You may have been quite fond of this person and could find yourself wondering about the truth behind the departure. Gossip may be buzzing, but don’t pay any attention to it. Chances are it’s a health problem, but no one, including your colleague, feels comfortable discussing it.

Pisces
Spiritual experiences could lead to a very powerful healing for you, dear Pisces. Old, repressed traumas from the past could be brought to the surface, processed, and released. This might leave you feeling rather dazed as this purging has left a gap in your psyche. Don’t worry - eventually it’ll be filled with new knowledge and insights instead of psychic garbage! For now, however, take a walk. It’ll clear your head and help you to deal with it all.

Aries
Studying in solitude may appeal to you today, dear Aries. A new interest has captured your imagination, so you may decide to sequester yourself at home or in the library learning about it. Your concentration is high, as is your perseverance, so anything you begin today is likely to succeed. The downside is that you might strain your eyes or give yourself headaches trying to accomplish too much at once. Pace yourself.

Taurus
Old memories welling up from the past today could trigger a desire to get in touch with old friends, dear Taurus, or with relatives whom you haven’t seen for a long time. Some of these recollections could be bittersweet, bringing pain experienced in the past to the surface once more. Don’t hang onto this ancient grief Work it out in your mind, and then let it go. You might experience a deep-seated relief and could even feel a little lightheaded.

Gemini
News, which you may receive about your place of business, or the people you work for, might bring up some doubts about your future in this position, dear Gemini. You might feel that you aren’t getting anywhere. Therefore you might be considering the possibility of changing jobs, or even careers. Someone may put forth a type of opportunity that you’ve never considered before. Think about it, but don’t decide for a few days.

Cancer
Your innate charm and good manners have brought you good relationships with both co-workers and superiors on the job, and today you might find that this has served you well, dear Cancer. Authority figures may seem a little intimidating, but hang onto your self-confidence. Hard work and dedication have also brought you some corporate kudos, and therefore it is quite possible that you might hear of forthcoming advancement career-wise. Onward and upward!

Leo
Working on projects of your own may be very much on your mind today, dear Leo. They could involve studies of some kind, or they could involve the arts in some way. Or you might be considering innovative ways of earning extra money. All signs are that any enterprise begun or continued today is likely to succeed, so go to it. However, it is important to give whatever you’re working on a lot of thought before presenting it to others.

Virgo
Long-term investments, especially those involving real estate, could pay off at this time, dear Virgo. If you’ve been thinking of buying or selling a home, this is the time to do it. All signs are that your patience and faith in yourself are likely to bear fruit, so at least one of your longtime goals should bring success right now. Also, if you have been considering investing some money in your house by remodeling or building additions, start planning today.

Libra
Kicking ideas around with colleagues today could lead to planning social events of some kind, bringing important people together in order to ensure cooperation on ambitious projects. You might find yourself in a number of meetings, dear Libra, or spending considerable time on the phone. Your mind is especially business-oriented today, and thus you’ll be operating on a very efficient level. However, remember the niceties. Express a polite interest in those around you, even if you don’t feel up to it.

Scorpio
The establishment of a new business partnership could require a lot of paperwork today, dear Scorpio. It might be really tedious trying to make sense of all the jargon involved, but it’s important to you, so you’re likely to be more persistent than usual. Someone more familiar with these matters may explain the ins and outs to you. This is likely to be a very fortunate development for you, so don’t lose heart. Hang in there!

Sagittarius
Physical exercise will help you relieve some of the tension you may be feeling today, Sagittarius. A run or a brisk walk will make the day a much better one. You may have some trouble today, and have a hard time controlling your anger over someone else’s mistakes. This is a time for compassion. Find it within yourself to forgive and move on.

Capricorn
Today you might consider making an investment of time and energy, and perhaps a little money, in a creative project of some kind, dear Capricorn. This may also involve modern technology in some way. You could have several colleagues who want to work with you on this, and therefore the entire enterprise could be very exciting. Be sure, however, not to lose sight of the practical details involved. Otherwise you might never get it off the ground.

Aquarius
You may have had plans to get together with friends, and you’re probably looking forward to it. However, dear Aquarius, delays might get in your way at some point, but you aren’t likely to let them stop you. Your concentration and perseverance are both higher than usual, so it isn’t likely that you’ll give up on anything you start today. Therefore, this is a good day to either begin or continue projects that mean a lot to you.

Pisces
Your hard work on the job may finally appear to be paying off, dear Pisces, as all signs indicate that a raise, promotion, or other form of advancement is coming your way. Your ambition and concentration have led and will continue to lead to significant accomplishment, which is not likely to escape the notice of those above you on the hierarchical ladder. Draw satisfaction from your achievements, and continue as you are.

Aries
It may not be easy for you to convince someone today. No matter how profound your idea is and how convincing your explanations may be, the other person is just not ready to open up to it yet. Don’t be pushy, and give them a few days to let it sink in. Maybe this other person needs to sleep a couple of nights on this proposal, or maybe they just need to do some more research on their own. So be patient, and focus on other things in the meantime!

Taurus
A trip by air could be very much on your mind today. Perhaps you are planning a vacation with your family or with a romantic partner. You could well be caught up in the excitement that seems to be the driving emotion today. Friends may offer advice, dear Taurus, but you’re not in the space to accept it as your self-confidence level is high. Expect to spend the evening in the congenial company of friends.

Gemini
You’ve got a lot on your mind right now, dear Gemini, and others might be interpreting your quiet behavior as aloofness. Go right ahead, and let them think so. You’ve got some real issues to think through and decisions with important consequences. You will be able to smooth their ruffled feathers later. Right now, focus on taking care of yourself.

Cancer
A number of invitations to social events could come your way today, some from people you really don’t know all that well. Don’t pass on them, however. You could make some fortunate contacts or even some new friends at these parties. You enjoy being around people, dear Cancer, but today you might find it a bit tedious. Your heart is with your family, and you’re probably looking forward to being at home and cuddling with a romantic partner.

Leo
Some revealing conversations with friends or relatives could bring up old traumatic memories from the past that you may have been repressing. This could shed light on a lot of obstacles you’ve been encountering lately, dear Leo, and thus enable you to release these emotions and thus do away with the obstacles. Once that happens, the sky’s the limit! Your personal power and self-confidence should be stronger than ever. Go for the gold!

Virgo
You may appear to have your head in the clouds to day, dear Virgo. The truth is, you’ve got a lot of important things on your mind. Others might be offended or even amused at your distance. Try not to worry about this too much. You need to take care of resolving those problems before worrying about everyone else’s reaction.

Libra
You might feel that money is flowing out of your bank account all too quickly lately, and this might be a cause of worry for you. You might feel you’ve spent too much on decorations for your home or on entertaining family and friends. Don’t worry! You’ll make up for it, and besides, you can’t take it with you, you know. Watch your spending, dear Libra, but don’t turn into a miser.

Scorpio
An opportunity to travel, perhaps in the company of friends or colleagues, could come your way today, dear Scorpio. This might involve education in some way. What you learn on this trip is likely to alter your life in some way, as it could open new doors for you. New friends and valuable contacts could also come on the scene. Don’t hesitate - go for it! Another opportunity like this might not come around for awhile.

Sagittarius
You might not see eye-to-eye with someone today, Sagittarius. Sometimes you can get swept up in passionate opinions. It’s easy for you to believe that your way is right and the other person’s way is wrong! But things aren’t quite so black and white right now. Today you might need to look for gray areas. Find common ground and search for a compromise today. You’ll sleep better if you do!

Capricorn
The opportunity to attend one or more huge social gatherings, such as balls or banquets, might come your way today, dear Capricorn. You might want to attend in the company of a small group of friends. This could be business-related, or it might involve a group with which you’re affiliated. Nonetheless, it shows promise of developing into an enlightening experience in one way or another. Accept the invitation and start making your plans!

Aquarius
Today you may be faced with a bunch of people from out of town that you’ve never met before. You’re likely to find this exciting and stimulating, but you could also feel a bit flustered. You might not be at your most outgoing right now, either. This may be a better day to listen than to try to talk, dear Aquarius. Sometimes that impresses people more than anything you might say!

Pisces
Today you should feel more energetic, enthusiastic and motivated than you have in a long time, dear Pisces. Recent successes, along with support from those closest to you, have you feeling very optimistic for your future, and therefore your intellectual and creative faculties are more than inspired to move forward. The only downside: So many ideas may be coming to you that you might not be able to choose between them. Think about each one carefully before going ahead.

Aries
A renewed sense of values and integrity may be present for you today, dear Aries. Connecting with this can be extremely uplifting, as it can put everything into perspective for you. With your hardworking tendencies, it can be easy to drift from the things that are most important to you as a person. Make the most of this day by getting in touch with yourself. If you write a journal, explore your mood on paper.

Taurus
Too much indulgence last night might leave you feeling a little bit woozy, dear Taurus. You’re likely to want to spend the day collapsed on your bed; however, the prospect of leaving tasks undone might cause you to push on anyway. Don’t! That’s definitely a bad idea. Rest is just what you need. Don’t force yourself to socialize, either. You need some time alone to recover and regain your strength so that you can face the world with a clear head later.

Gemini
Plans for getting together with a group of close friends may have to be called off because of sudden and unexpected events. This could have you feeling somewhat down, dear Gemini, especially if a romantic partner is involved. Try not to worry about it too much. You will be able to reschedule, and you could use the time alone anyway to relax and center yourself.

Cancer
The planetary energy has you feeling a bit sluggish today. You’ll probably want to stay home, surrounded by your books, pets, plants, and so on, yet you know you have appointments to keep and responsibilities to fulfill. Your sense of duty is especially high. Make a deal with yourself to get the bare minimum done and then spend some time relaxing. Try putting some essential oils in a hot bath and listening to classical music.

Leo
A temporary separation from someone very close to you can have you reflecting on the good times you’ve spent with that person, especially over the past few weeks. At some point you’re likely to talk with him or her over the phone. You’re feeling a lot of warmth and affection toward everyone around you but a little sad as well, particularly when you think of those who live far away. Call them up, dear Leo! They’ll be glad to hear from you.

Virgo
Your ability to concentrate will be enhanced today, dear Virgo. If you have studying or detail work to tend to, this will be an opportune time to get to it. Hobbies that require a lot of focus may also strike your fancy, such as sewing, jewelry making, or wood carving. Even if a herd of stampeding elephants runs through your space, you’re not likely to lose your concentration. So pull out your most intensive tasks, and have a great day.

Libra
It’s time to get up and get moving, dear Libra. If your job or home life leans toward a sedentary style, your health can suffer if you don’t engage in some physical activity. Not only is your body affected by a lack of exercise; your mind and emotional disposition can become depleted over time, as well. Even a daily walk or playing a sport once a week can make a world of difference. Try something today.

Scorpio
Today you might try to continue or complete a creative project of some kind, but your imagination just isn’t working the way it normally does. Also, overindulgence from last night could have you feeling a bit sluggish physically, which doesn’t help the situation any. Put your work aside before you give up on it completely, dear Scorpio. This is only a temporary situation, and your mind should be back to normal tomorrow.

Sagittarius
You might feel a little bit edgy or nervous today, Sagittarius. You probably won’t understand why you are more sensitive to things. But this is just part of the energy of the day. Do your best to keep a detached and relaxed attitude. Stay off the caffeine if it tends to make you jumpy. Avoid negative thinking patterns, because your mind could easily race from one intense thought to another.

Capricorn
Practicality and planning will work well for you today, dear Capricorn. It’s an opportune time to take a long look at your financial situation. Are you where you want to be in this area? Have you got plans in place for down the road? Do you have sufficient cash flow? Think about what you’d like to improve on, and make some plans. You can include talking with a financial planner or a trusted banker to create more options for yourself.

Aquarius
Someone who lives far away and from whom you haven’t heard for a long time could give you a surprise phone call today. You’ll be delighted to hear from him orher, and you’ll probably stay on the phone all too long. You might need to run a few errands, but the weather may keep you indoors. Don’t worry about it, dear Aquarius. You will still have time to take care of other pressing matters. You should be feeling especially artistic right now. Be creative!

Pisces
Money might be a source of worry for you today, dear Pisces. You might feel you’ve spent too much lately (who doesn’t sometimes?), or perhaps there has been a holdup in funds that you were expecting. Please bear in mind that this is a delay, not a permanent situation, even though it may seem that way! Too much worry could spoil your day, and you don’t want that. If there’s anything you can do, do it; otherwise, just hang in there.
