| Aries There's no reason to be so pushy today, because your direct style won't get you where you want to go any faster than taking it easy. And you'll have a more meaningful experience by partaking in real give and take, instead of attempting to control what's happening. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean you should let go of your goals. It just means that it's better if you take the time to enjoy yourself on your way to success. |
|
| Taurus If you followed through and kept current with your most important obligations this week, today should be a piece of cake. You are able to focus your energy intensely on your job and can finish your work ahead of schedule. Don't try to take the easy way out, for it won't work. However, pushing hard early in the day may allow you to coast a bit later on. |
|
| Gemini The weekend could start early for you, but there may be a price to pay if you don't live up to your promises. The tension between your need for enjoyment and other people's expectations of you can clash outwardly, even if you try to keep your feelings under wraps. You may be able to maintain emotional detachment for a while, but your true desires will leak out and everyone will know what you truly want. Life will be a whole lot easier if you are honest right from the start. |
|
| Cancer The question, "How much?" is on your mind today as you try to decide how intense to be when asking for what you need. One inner voice may tell you to remain silent; others should know what you want without you having to tell them. The other voice encourages you to put it out there gently, without making any one person feel responsible for the whole package. Extreme emotional behavior won't get you what you seek; it will only set you back farther from your goals. |
|
| Leo You are poised to receive much-needed support from your friends and family today. Fortunately, you might not even have to ask; others may show up with the right attitude and will be ready to follow your lead. But the danger stems from you trying to accomplish too much. You can work as hard as you want, but you cannot push volunteer labor past a certain point. Be thankful for whatever assistance comes your way. |
|
| Virgo Finding a way to keep your projects moving forward can be a challenge, for your current ambition can stir up jealously or envy in someone else. Others may be rooting for you to succeed, unless they think success is going to your head. If you wish to keep the peace, slow down your approach; any goal worth reaching will still be there next year. |
|
| Libra The Moon's return to your sign this month can mark a difficult passage. Emotional obstacles that have been in your path for a while can temporarily seem insurmountable. Their presence today might add a sense of desperation to your plan. If life feels overwhelming, don't respond by just working more. Instead, do the non-intuitive thing; slow your pace and watch some of the pieces magically fall into place. |
|
| Scorpio You may visualize yourself safe at home now, retreating from the ever-maddening crowds. It not that you are tired or afraid of dealing with people. It's just that your natural rhythms suggest that it's time for a rejuvenating withdrawal from excess distractions. Be patient or you could lose your cool as frustration builds in anticipation of a weekend retreat. |
|
| Sagittarius You have been riding the Sun in your adventurous sign with the power of fiery Mars as a traveling partner. Now, however, you can take your mind off making concrete plans as the Moon enters your 11th House of Long-Term Goals. Instead of thinking about how to create your next journey, take your foot off the gas pedal and coast for a few days so you can enjoy your friends and family. You can always get back to business next week. |
|
| Capricorn It's crucial for you to process any tension you are feeling, for the diplomatic Libra Moon is stirring up issues that could reach a climax with the Capricorn New Moon next weekend. Today you are able to address your needs with a graceful sense of balance. Unfortunately, you might not be as sensitive to the needs of others later on. Whatever you discuss now can help to alleviate the building pressures over the days ahead. |
|
| Aquarius Although there is an underlying intensity to the day, you are able to bring an open mind to any discussion that may arise. Even if you have already formed an opinion, you are more interested now in learning something new than simply proving that you are right. But you'll need to pay careful attention to what you say, for you could slip in an inflammatory comment that turns the energy in a negative direction. Staying aware of both sides of any issue will keep unnecessary conflict to a minimum. |
|
| Pisces You may experience a decidedly awkward moment today when you realize that something you have been fighting for just isn't that important to you anymore. It's not that your opinion has changed; it's just that you have gained a broader perspective and can understand all sides of the issue. Nevertheless, don't be too accommodating. It's better to hold your position now than to try to regain it later on. |
