Do all the work that needs to be done now before you go off to play. There will be many opportunities for you to be sidetracked by fun now. Remember that you'll only be able to enjoy yourself if you finish all your daily chores first. He who works hard, sleeps hardest.
Remember the importance of independence and originality. While it's obviously necessary to have close friends and family, it's also vital that you have a sense of individuality. Perhaps making time for yourself would be a worthy cause this afternoon. Having a good sense of who you are will make your...

Back off a little when it comes to getting what you want. People at work could be finding you a bit bossy and domineering. You don't need to use force to obtain your desires. Learning how to communicate more effectively would be of good use to you.
You could be accused of being inconsiderate and selfish. It's possible that you've been focusing too much time and effort on your career. Make sure you're listening to your spouse and family. Everyone has needs, even if they're not voicing them loudly.
Your confidence could come across as arrogant if you're not careful today. What comes out of your mouth might simply rub people the wrong way. Keeping your opinions to yourself will make all parties concerned much happier.
There's a chance you might not get the attention you wanted at work, or even at a social gathering, and you could end up sulking and brooding. Don't take your bad mood out on those around you. Not being in the spotlight for a day is certainly not the worst thing in the world.
Don't make any repairs on your home or lawn now. This is not a good influence to start changing things around. However, it would be wise to attend to your domestic responsibilities. Make sure all your bills are paid and the laundry is getting folded.
Make sure you're not ignoring your responsibilities in the name of fun. Don't give in to your impulses if they're childish or impractical. While it may not be as exciting to finish all your work and call it an early night, you will feel well rested in the morning.
You could experience an upset stomach now. This will be the result of some sadness or anxiety that is manifesting in you physically. Make sure you're getting enough rest and drinking enough water. Get a full night of sleep to appease your body.
Focus your efforts on a humanitarian cause today. Perhaps you could consider donating time or money to a charity. Volunteering at a literacy organization or after school program could be a good idea as well. Making a difference in your community will surely lift your spirits.
Enjoy the comfort of your own home today. Watch your favorite movie or TV series. Perhaps playing board games with your family could bring you some amusement. If you knit or sew, start on a new project that can be used around the house.
Be sensitive to others today. Don't turn away people seeking your advice or good counsel. Even if you have a busy schedule, it's important to show empathy. Share your experiences and help your loved ones discover answers to their own problems using your life lessons.
What you expect and want from love turns out to be very different from what you need. This new, mature you is ready to deal with what a relationship really is. You disdain illusions and crave reality.
Just because someone likes you doesn't mean you have to like him or her back. Do everyone involved a favor and assess your own feelings honestly. Then give them your answer in the kindest way you know how.
Slow and steady does the trick right now when it comes to romance. Inwardly you may be pouting because of the change of pace. Learning to adapt to changing cycles is the most useful thing you can do now.
Practical matters occupy your mental space now, and rightly so. After all, you can't concentrate on romance if you have a huge to-do list, can you? Well, you might be surprised at who you'll run into at the lumber yard.
The road of love can get rough sometimes, but don't let it get the best of you. Take heart: You're blessed with superb instincts, and you know just what side roads to use until the main thoroughfare clears up.
Persistence is a virtue, but it's not necessarily a virtue you want to encounter in a suitor. While it's flattering at first, it can become a nuisance very quickly. Be clear and firm about saying you're not interested.
You want to build a solid foundation for the future, but this person just wants to frolic. For right now, you have to agree to disagree. After all, you can't force someone to have different feelings to suit your agenda.
The process of combining two lives can be tricky, but you have to give yourself room to at least try -- and even more room to make mistakes. Believe it or not, mistakes are necessary to building a relationship.
Make the most of what you have. You and a certain someone have really come a long way. The stars say it's a great time to capitalize on all that headway. Use this energy to its fullest and really go for it.
With love, sometimes you need to take the action first, and the insight will follow. Now's the time to move. Go with what your instincts are telling you about this situation. Analysis and review can come later.
You get a classic 'eureka!' moment when you see one of your friends committing the same romantic mistake over and over again. Now you have a truly unusual solution for your own dilemma. Take action now.
You don't have to be in a relationship to understand why someone's attempt at one isn't going swimmingly. So if someone offers you a piece of advice, listen closely to what they have to say. It might be very relevant to your situation.
You need to take some time off -- or at least take a quick break! You've been driving yourself too hard lately, and now is the only time you're able to kick back. Others can see you need it, too.
Pay closer attention to your idealistic nature today -- it's got plenty to teach you still! You've got more going on than you realize, and standing your ground may pay off in unusual ways.
Guessing games don't pay off today -- trial and error is the only way to make any progress. Once you've figure out what's really going on, you should be able to make some serious gains.
Your senses are more in tune with the natural world today, and you may feel a need to get out into nature. You may also just appreciate your surroundings that much more, but it should be sweet.
You need to go out of your way to help a friend or family member today -- they are sure to be deeply appreciative, and you may find yourself well set up for your next big move, too!
Though your creative energies are juiced right now, you may need to engage in a bit of critique before you can really get to work. You're good at spotting flaws, but be sure to also look for hidden strengths!
You're a little moony over something or someone from long ago, but it's interfering with your life in the here and now. It's a good time to walk away from the past, or part of it, for good.
You are out in front today in some new way. It's a good time for you to lead the charge at work, rally the troops at home or otherwise ensure that your vision is the one that most people follow.
Sometimes you utterly neglect your finances, but at other times -- like right now -- you feel the urge to get down into the weeds and really make sense of it all. It's easier than ever to do just that now.
If you need to impress someone -- maybe romantically -- now is the time to go for it! Your great energy makes it so easy to say and do the right things that people might start to think you're cheating somehow.
You don't have a clue why your friends or family are acting out today, but that's okay -- sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and see where it all leads. Things should be great by tomorrow.
Try not to worry about who owes what to whom, exactly -- you just need to take that favor and run with it! You'll have to pay it back eventually, of course, but that's a small price to pay.
An argument may break out today between you and a friend regarding the best way to roast a chicken. Set two dates in the same week with the same panel of judges (other friends) and enjoy two fun (and competitive) dinner parties.
As the gardening season ramps up in your household, your excitement will ensure that the plans stay firm. After all, no one would dare break plans to do yard work when they know how much gardening matters to you.
You've recently given a slew of handmade gifts, and you're suddenly wondering if anyone appreciates how much work goes into each. Truth be told, they probably have no idea -- but the pleasure of giving is all yours.
A new addition to your home has you wanting to stay indoors. Whether you're obsessed with a gardening program on your computer or a brand-new kitten, enjoy the comforts of home today.
Though you usually doubt a lot of your design choices, today you enjoy knowing exactly what you want. There aren't any internal debates regarding whether or not to paint the kitchen yellow or green -- you know.
Go with healthy motivators today, and make decisions you know are good for you. If a recipe for corn chowder has you blend in a cup of silken tofu rather than a cup of sour cream, then that's the recipe for you.
Though the chore wheel on the fridge clearly states who's meant to do what, you know that the responsibilities are a bit unbalanced. Revisit the wheel and call a house meeting -- you simply can't do it all.
Though popular ideology may suggest that you cut carbohydrates out of your diet, you go against the grain today. A high-energy meal will give your body the energy it needs to get through the day.
Though you may not have the money to be a philanthropist, you can practice small-scale philanthropy in your neighborhood. Invest in local programs, knowing you're contributing to the betterment of your community.
After days of rain, the clouds part, giving way to warmth that you may not have felt for months. Something is in the air ... a new season is on its way. It may be time to dust off the barbecue and put on gardening gloves.
With everyone in your house so busy these days, the situation with leaving notes may be getting out of control. Rather than placing random messages on the stairs or sticking them on the fridge, pick a central message center.
While teaching your friends how to knit is rewarding, you may not have realized that your expertise would prevent you from knitting yourself! Don't fret ... as your friends get better, they'll need you less and less.
A lot of last year's difficulties, if you think about it, boiled down to a lot of fiddly little details getting in the way of you realizing your dreams. Let's be honest about it, Aries: struggling with the small stuff just isn't your style. In the next year, you'll find that a lot of these pressures...

Taurus always gets tagged with things like 'pleasure-seeking' and 'materialistic.' That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life...

Isn't it great being a Gemini? All that charm, that mental flexibility, that ability to see both sides of the issue ... you're the wonder of the zodiac. Take a bow. The problem with that is that both sides of the issue have been kind of a drag. Good news: that's all going to change in the next...

One thing that all Crabs (astrological Cancers or the seafood type of crab) know deep in their hearts is that someone, somewhere out there knows how great it would be to bust them wide open and eat them with melted butter. The big news for you this year, Cancer, is that Pluto has moved into your...

Oh, big playful Leo -- how the last couple of years have been dramatic (and often less than kind) for you! There's little doubt that whatever you've gone through in the last year, the uppers have fueled your inherent charm and lovability, and the downers have gotten a little ignored. That's one of...

The symbol for Libra is Balance. In the next year, you'll find yourself doing even more balancing than usual; you're going to be pressed to decide if your internal sense of happiness should be the focus of life more than the outward signs of success. This may have been weighing heavily on your mind...

Scorpios have a certain reputation for taking things a little too seriously, and to some extent you've earned that. The next year is going to give you new opportunities to really express yourself in new ways, and to get results from all that Scorpionic intensity you've been carrying around all your...

Did you just hear that gigantic cry of 'hooray'? That was the sound of millions of Sagittarian lives getting better in 2010. Pluto has moved out of your sign, and Saturn has left Virgo (which wasn't doing you any favors either, as you may have noticed from the unusual pressures in your home life,...

One of the things that never seems to come across in those generic descriptions of Capricorns is their inherent sweetness. You're every bit as kind and caring as anyone else (if not more so), but have a tendency to hide it behind a mask that downplays your vulnerability. Now that Pluto (the planet...

Aquarius often gets pegged as being a little too cerebral for its own good. But the truth is, that's where you do your best work. The next year is going to give you the opportunity to use those sharp mental powers to focus on what it is you really want out of life. Two eclipses fall in your Twelfth...

Okay, pause for a moment and check your pulse. Still there? Good. That means you survived the last couple of years with both Saturn and Pluto in less-than-perfect places for you. And by 'less than perfect,' I mean 'lousy.' Good news! Both of astrology's heavyweights have moved on to more...

Whew! Feel that enormous burden sliding off of your shoulders, like you've been carrying around an overstuffed backpack for the last couple of years?

You may have been in a slump recently but you are operating in overdrive now. There's no need to slow down, either. You're about as productive as you can possibly be without blowing a fuse. If you could keep up the pace indefinitely you'd be retiring early, but you already know another slump is...

You may fantasize about your financial future taking off like a rocket but don't be surprised if you are temporarily grounded. You need a deep understanding of all the engineering that goes into your particular projects before you climb in and try again. Until then, you're being done a favor if...

Someone needs to make a move, but no one is doing anything. Getting ahead may mean breaking out on your own. Being part of a group is nice and safe, but you're sure you're being held back from your fortune. You'll never know until you give it a try.
Of course you only project your best side to the public. You only assume that others are doing the same thing. And yet you're floored to catch a view of someone's vulnerable side. Knowing in no uncertain terms that you're not the only one is worth a million bucks in the boost to your own confidence....

You have little enthusiasm for the tasks before you. The only silver lining is the pay that waits at the end. It's not exactly a pot of gold at the end of your personal rainbow but you can't afford to be picky. At least you're not arrogant. Too bad that won't earn you any extra brownie points, not...

It doesn't take a bundle of money to have a good day. All it takes is a bit of fun and the right attitude and both of those are basically free. Keep your money in your bank account where it belongs. You really don't need it, even to get creative.
Your home accounts are not balances, and that's where you lose the most money. Being sentimental is no excuse for overspending and throwing money at old issues won't cure them. There are other ways to keep things cozy, so focus exclusively on the ones that don't cost a pretty penny, or even a single...

The big boss in the sky must be in a good mood, because you're working well with everyone you need to work with to make a buck. It's a good day to sign business agreements; people are bending over backwards to accommodate you. It's easy to feel comfortable signing on the dotted line.
It's counterintuitive, but being focused exclusively on money doesn't help you earn it any faster. It's time to broaden your personal horizons. Try music or art, or anything that helps you foster a more original way of thinking. It can only add value to your life as well as your financial assets.
You have the stamina of two and the energy of an army. Now what are you going to do with those fleeting assets? It goes without saying you should be making hay, but exactly how you do it remains to be seen. Whatever way you choose, you're sure to see good results.
You're too tired to do anything but put one foot in front of the other. That's a good thing, because there's no point in flailing away against things you can do nothing about. Conserve your energy in whatever ways you can. Since money is energy, it goes without saying you should conserve that, too.
It's easy to find a leader. They're a dime a dozen. It's finding one who will lead you in the right direction that's hard. Someone wants to lead you and your cash right into their private money bag. It doesn't take much imagination to see it closing tightly behind you. Be careful.
