ARIES

You need to take a pragmatic look at your situation, especially the economic condition. Splurging may be fun, but it is causing needless pressure on your family funds and you need to become aware of this. You have to keep a cool head and try to understand the viewpoint of the other family members as far as financial matters are concerned.

You need to face it — you are just feeling less energetic than usual today, and it shows. How can you get your groove back? There are two equal and opposite actions you could take. The first is to simply rest — especially if you’ve been overworked lately. Take some time for yourself. The second is to force yourself to get moving, especially if you’ve been the lethargic lately. Whichever you choose, act soon!

TAURUS

You have been planning something major for the past few days. Today, you will begin to realize exactly what you have taken on and this may exercise an intimidating effect on you. But, going back is not an option. You will have to take the next steps with confidence and you will soon see that though the task has turned out to be more difficult than you thought, it is by no means impossible.

Your social life is on the front burner now, and things are suddenly sizzling! How do you want to handle this flood of invites, phone calls and friend requests? You thrive on attention, and things have been entirely too quiet for you as of late — so book your calendar solid! Make sure you book in a little downtime, too — all play and no rest makes people cranky!

GEMINI

Be honest to yourself as this is the only move that can help you in every situation! Do not hesitate in picking up what you prefer rather than sacrificing your wishes just for the sake of others. You may get confused in deciding where to begin from, so just prioritize all the things you are trying to make a decision out of!

You’ve been fighting hard to regain some measure of freedom in your new, weird situation that you might be losing sight of your actual goals. Step back, take a deep breath and quiet your mind for a moment to find your center — then refocus your eyes on the real prize. You may need to lose a minor battle if it means a major victory on the front that matters most. You need to think strategically.

CANCER

Today is going to be a fun fare day. You will be revisited by friends and relatives. Least you can expect a call or mail from them. It is a good time to brush up your social skills and be prepared for the upcoming parties. Your financial issues will be taken care of as the day progresses.

Feelings can be contagious on a day like today. Smiling at a stranger can automatically make them smile back, and laughter can spread from one person to the next in waves. On the other hand, some sarcastic comment can throw you into a rotten mood and make you want to lash out at just about anyone handy. Try to keep a lid on the bad stuff for now and do whatever it takes to spread goodwill and positive energy.

LEO

You are modest today and you may witness selfless service. You are at the giving end. You may sacrifice your time, space money or even food to satisfy others. People will respect this act of yours. Watch your threshold. Pay attention to your children. They may be prone to contract some infection. Spend time at home and eat hygienic food.

Money needs to be handled wisely and with respect, and it’s also something that should be reducing the stress in your life, not adding to it. Take a hard look at your spending habits and how you deal with cash. Do you put off financial matters until the last minute? (If so, you’re not alone!) Do you use retail therapy to try and solve problems that can’t be solved easily? (Ditto.) If the answers make you uncomfortable, now is the time to change.

VIRGO

You will feel confident about broadening your horizons even though your family may feel disgusting about it. Commit yourself to what you want to do. Do not work under the cover; bring into light whatever you have been doing. You may find new attachments rushing into your life in the form of friendship.ﾠﾠ

You feel just like a lottery winner who’s just matched all the right numbers — it feels like your life has opened up in a big way and adventure lies ahead of you. Grab your most trusted companion to join you for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who knows where it could lead or how you might end up? Make sure you don’t get too greedy — those winnings are metaphorical for now!

LIBRA

Today is a great day to be adventurous. The lady luck smiles on your fortune and whatever you do, you simply can’t do it wrong. If you wish to invest, this is a good time to do it. Expect to meet the true love of your life around the corner. Be cautious about your health though, you are prone to the eternal cough and cold attacks.

Progress doesn’t always move in a straight line. In fact, in order to reach your ultimate goal, often you have to backtrack through territory you thought was well behind you so you can learn something you missed the first time around. Stressing out about lost time isn’t worth the worry, though. Just sit back and enjoy the scenery — after all, isn’t that the point of life?

SCORPIO

Someone has been offering you constant and unwavering loyalty, help and support. Today, opportunities will arise for you to return some of the favour and express your appreciation. In so doing, you may have to take on a difficult situation, but this will ultimately strengthen your relationship. You need to be brave and assertive while displaying kindness and gratitude.

Every choice you make has an impact on your surroundings. Isn’t it time you started making the healthiest, most beneficial choices possible? It’s time to start that greener energy program you’ve been thinking about, or maybe you should volunteer for a cause that drives you intensely. You could also simply start bringing your own bags to the grocery store — every little bit counts.

SAGITTARIUS

Tangled relationship, conversations of double meanings and misunderstandings are the order of the day, but they will prove to be amusing rather than harmful. Do not worry about these. Instead, lighten up, step back and enjoy the comedy of errors that is going to happen all around you today. With a healthy dose of humour, the day can turn out to be very pleasant indeed.

Taking care of your people is important, but taking care of yourself should be a priority for you now. If you’re feeling a bit ragged doing special projects for work and helping your family with their kids, you need to put your foot down. Tell them that you’re raking some spare time. It’s about time that people started to respect that — which goes for you, too!

CAPRICORN

You are in a fanciful mood today. Role playing and fantasies hold unusual attractions for you. You find romance everywhere and have an active fantasy life which you may get a chance to duplicate in reality. You can impulsively choose to follow an impossible dream, either in your career or your relationship. However, you should not take any major decisions now.

Do you have a friend who lives far off? If so, now is the best time to get back in touch with them. If not, you may feel driven to meet someone new and exotic. Whether you’re looking for a pen pal, a business partner or a soul mate, you should find that it gets much easier with today’s energy. With your focus and determination to get things done, you should even have extra time to finish that big work project and clean the house!

AQUARIUS

You have devoted considerable time and effort to a project and it will start to pay off now. Hard work and determination along with farsighted planning has done the trick. You have also been planning some renovations but have been deterred by financial constraints. Today you will come up with creative ways to accomplish all these tasks within your means.

You might think today’s situation is a failure when, in fact, it’s come along at the right moment to teach you a skill you need to gain an even greater success. Put aside your assumptions and fears and just deal with what’s in front of you right now. Far greater things are in store for you than you could have ever imagined. Learn everything you can from this moment and remember it.

PISCES

You have been impulsive in decision making for quite some time. But today you will realize the importance of planning and a meticulous approach. From now on, your approach towards anything will see a well charted and organized approach. It is never too late to start planning. With planning, you will also see yourself carrying proper execution of plans.

Sometimes you have to break through a brittle outer shell in order to get to the soft caramel center. Someone or something in your life right now presents a similar problem, so before you toss it in the trash and announce that it’s not worth your time, take a moment. Is there something worth pursuing that’s simply hidden behind a tough exterior in there?
