April 20-May 20

Communication is your forte at the moment, and you're the mediator of any disputes that come up. This has become routine by now -- are you bored yet? Try to have a good attitude about it, Taurus. Snags in a project at work or home need to be worked out before you can move forward. Sometimes you have to put a little effort into maintenance. Life can't always be about taking great strides toward a big, bright future. Things will get interesting again, I promise. For now, sit tight, and do what needs doing.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Gather up all those loose ends and pull your act together now. It'll take the right mood, but once you're feeling positive, you'll get this show on the road. Don't worry about how prepared you may or may not be. You have all the knowledge and dexterity you'll need for today, if not longer. Looking good wouldn't hurt, either. That part should be easy for you, Gemini. Your sense of self is strong and healthy enough that you can touch up your appearance without feeling vain or attention-starved. All you need is a smile.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

You're full of questioning and wonderment and so engaged with life, with the world around you! For now, you have unrestricted access to many of the great wonders of the universe. Get lost in its mystery today -- to ponder the big questions as well as the small ones. Use your strong intuition to decide what feels right and what doesn't. Don't be surprised, though, if you don't come up with anything concrete. It might just be that the solution isn't yours to find, and these mysteries will remain mysteries for now.

Leo

July 23-August 22

This will be an energetic day. You'll be responding to whatever happens and making some on-the-spot decisions. Yes, it feels good to be in charge, but don't distract yourself too much by constantly checking out your moves in the mirror. Your view has to be more of a wide-angle shot when you're standing on the verge of some great discovery. It's just around the corner, too. What happens now could be anybody's guess, although what happened earlier will determine how you'll handle this.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Trickery may feel justified today if you think you can get away with it. Maybe you can. But if you have a conscience, this would also be a time to worry. Remember how irritated you felt when someone else went around breaking the rules? Turnabout doesn't seem like fair play when it all turns around on you. Don't take it that far. Break the cycle. You won't have to get yours back once you decide that nobody owes you anything. Move on to find a game that truly works for you.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Diverse energies are calling you, demanding your attention -- and you're up to the challenge of coordinating them all gracefully. Your own energy is humming like a well-tuned engine, fueling anything and everything you want to accomplish today. Better yet, you're a natural now at drawing like-minded, dynamic people to your side. They make up just one part of your wide pool of resources. As you work to bring everything into balance, don't forget how lucky you are. And remember that life isn't always this much fun, so enjoy yourself!

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Maybe you flubbed a presentation at work, or an introduction at a party. Whatever happened, you've always wanted to be a slick operator, but a recent experience has you feeling like the world is laughing in your face -- or, worse, behind your back. That's not the case, however. It's just that you're still a little too inflexible. Why not practice your delivery today? Try watching your heroes, too. You'll find that their lives aren't any more problem-free than yours, and you'll gain insight by studying their style.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

You've got some truly great stories, and now's the time to share them. Open up to someone you don't normally interact with. Talk about your travels, and ask about theirs. Compare notes. And don't forget the importance of making your audience laugh. You're a natural comedian, so everyone's happy to pay attention to your funny digressions. Best of all, you'll grow through reliving your story for others. Maybe there's a chapter you'd forgotten, or one you've never really inspected before? New perspective looms -- isn't this exciting?

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Are you feeling like a different person today? You're confident and a little goofy, and that's not like you at all. You could feel a little scattered, but enjoy yourself! Just don't look down on anyone who seems too serious, Capricorn -- someone has to work while you're playing. Plenty of times, it's been you on the opposite end, putting in extra work because someone else is slacking off. Think of this short period as your time to balance things out. When your focus returns, then you can get back to work.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

An expansive, lighthearted mood is here, helping you to laugh at the flaws and foibles of your past and look bright-eyed toward the future. You're ready to embrace whatever comes your way. Since your heart is so full of good humor, the normal ups and downs of day-to-day existence seem downright comical now. Better yet, you're putting your friends and coworkers in a laughing mood, too. Your enlightened perspective could even brighten the day for someone who's been feeling downhearted. Spread the illumination around.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Leave your sorrows at the door. This isn't some kind of pity party or a meeting of the losers' club. Why would you even think of going to such a place? No, you just stumbled into an empowerment session, and it's your turn to bathe in the good vibes. Oh, come on, don't say there's nothing for you here. Don't rack your brain for excuses. Check it out, OK? But instead of making it a quick once-over, take a long, slow look. Recognize that your long night of sadness is finally coming to an end. Happiness is dawning.
