Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

At first you feel buzzed today, as if you are ready to set the world on fire. However, once you get going, you may become less sure of yourself. You could inadvertently give off mixed signals because your moods change quickly and you aren't very good at hiding your emotions now. Nevertheless, it's to your advantage to balance your sense of urgency with your long-term goals. You have more time than you realize.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

If you have been spending a lot of time with friends and family, it's crucial for you to check in with yourself today. You may be more than ready for a mini-retreat, even if it turns out to be only a few hours of quiet time at home. Although you may be tempted to start a new project, it's more important now to finish up whatever is left undone so you'll be ready for what comes up next week.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

You are eager to reconnect with your friends today, for you are quite excited about something new in your life. Fortunately, you have enough common sense now to balance your desire for social action with a practical need for stability. If the holidays took a lot out of you, it's more important to trust your intuition. In the long run, you probably won't even remember that you missed a party because you were doing the responsible thing instead.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

You are standing at a crossroads today. You might want to rush through the intersection so you can get it over with and be on the other side. But as you start, you may realize that there are many ways to move through this junction in your life and how you do it will have lasting impact. So what begins as an impulse can turn into a much longer period of consideration. No matter what kind of pressure you face, don't rush the process. Let it unfold naturally, according to its own clock.

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

You are ready to explore your feelings in a deeper way, but you may not know how to go about making your dream come true. You want to be real, but you probably feel more comfortable when you're safely hiding behind a mask. You can try to totally disguise yourself, yet the true you will still show through. Once you realize that it's not worth keeping your intensity to yourself, it will be easier to touch others with what's in your heart.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Relationships of all types could become more available for you now that sweet Venus is in your 7th House of Partners. But you must stay on your toes, for you are also more open to misplacing your trust. Decide what you want and stick to it, for your optimism will help you find satisfaction. However, don't be so eager that you say yes before you even know where you are going.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

A friend or partner may get rather angry with you today for no apparent reason. From your perspective, he or she seems to be unnecessarily stirring up conflict. The trouble might heat up even as you attempt to avoid engagement. Relying on logic won't help now; instead soften your focus and be as understanding as you can. Compassion, not confrontation, should disarm the building hostilities.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

You may want to find a kinder and gentler way of expressing love now, yet circumstances could get in your way. You might have a particularly hard time with anyone who acts selfishly because your patience is wearing thin. You know what would work best in the long run, but you're tempted to push someone to the breaking point. Be smart; take a few deep breaths and step back from a direct encounter. It's better to take the pressure off an explosive situation than to add to it.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

You want to be playful today with the Moon in your 5th House of Love and Creativity, but you might not be able to get past your own negativity that's leftover from a previous situation. Instead of looking back and trying to base a current decision on a past failure, try concentrating on the potential of what's in front of you. There's no need to make the same mistakes.

Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 19)

You don't want others to bother you today because you're not in the mood to deal with anything that's not already on your schedule. Unfortunately, reality might not cooperate with your desire to have everything so compartmentalized that there's no uncertainty. Dealing with someone's emotional display can pull you off track, yet it's also an important reminder that feelings have to be taken into serious consideration, too.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

It's easy for you to interact with others today because it seems as if you are willing to let go of your own personal agenda. But you may be holding on to unexpressed feelings that could get in the way down the road. It's better to come clean and let others know if something makes you feel uncomfortable. Just keep in mind that your issues don't need to be fully resolved right away. Healthy discussion, however, will help more than you think.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

You are entering into a phase when your charm and grace can get you what you want. But with Venus in your sign until February 2, you may be tempted to push your luck and expect too much. Maintaining a healthy perspective on love is important now, so don't fall into the trap of thinking that you should have whatever you desire. Instead, be willing to listen to what others need too. Sweet compromise will get you much further than selfish demands.
