April 20-May 20

Your instincts are urging you to go against the grain. You want to strike out on your own and put some of this inspiration to work, right? But hold back and do the prudent, neighbourly thing today instead. You'll actually enjoy the downtime if you just give it a chance. By purposely slowing down and getting along with people, you'll score big points for later. Open your ears, while you're at it. Someone's great idea could give you a whole new approach, which you can put to use soon.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You're a self-contained unit today. Be satisfied with your abilities and your possibilities. Let every moment be a photo op. Maybe you're not trying to impress anyone with your superior motor skills or eye-hand coordination, but you could be mistaken for a dancer or athlete. What matters most, though, are your expectations. Don't aim too high and set yourself up for failure. If you're going into this alone, be reasonable about what you can accomplish in the coming month. And if you need a guarantee, limit the risks you take.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

You're spry and communicative, and in the mood to connect with other people. This might be a great time to throw an impromptu dinner party for your favourite friends, or at least take a walk somewhere you'll run into other humans. This is no time to seclude yourself away somewhere. You're too upbeat and expressive to be alone. Whatever happens, you'll feel fine -- even if you don't accomplish anything great. And that has to count for something, doesn't it?

Leo

July 23-August 22

Now you're a major player, a motivational speaker and a moving target. How do you make time for all that? It's easy enough. You're a dedicated friend, but you won't let that interfere too much with your plans. The fact is, friendship aside, you also have to be quick on your feet if you want a bigger slice of the pie. Of course you'll be a good provider to anyone who believes that you'll be coming back. Share what you come up with today. All gain doesn't have to be selfish, especially if you gather enough to go around.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

You're talking too much. Why? Maybe you're showing your hand. Maybe you're critical about something and hope your words will change it. But once you lock into the power of your own riff, you might make quick judgments just to keep going. And how smart is that? You could precipitate a crisis today if you don't pause for breath and see where things actually stand. In the best-case scenario, you already did what you could, and now it's up to the forces you set in motion. Sit back and watch the fireworks.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Different worlds are coming together, and you're front and centre. This could easily result in major chaos, but instead, all goes smoothly. Why? Because you're calmly in charge, using your smarts and your keen eye to coordinate everything like a master conductor. Today you're everyone's friend, and you know just what needs to happen and when. Most amazingly of all, you make it look effortless as you move from one group to the next, making small talk while conducting important business. Working with the current energy flow is so much easier than struggling against it, isn't it?

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

You're not used to this kind of amped-up, bubbly energy, are you? No, you're used to feeling calm, centred, and in control. But maybe this is a good test. After all, your delivery could use a little work, and today's perfect for practicing. Later, you could find yourself a little closer to perfect, and all the effort and uneasy feelings will seem worth it. Of course, don't discount luck. That plays a part, too. Give up your illusions of control and use the Force, Luke.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

It's hard not to get bogged down in details today. But that just shows how important it is to rise above pettiness and take the bird's-eye view. Speak from your heart and not your mind. That's the only way to transcend political, cultural, and language barriers -- and it really works. Soon, you'll find yourself making alliances with people you never thought you'd connect with on any level, much less this deeply. Don't be surprised if you end up with a renewed sense of awe.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Feeling scattered and unfocused is making you nervous, and that's just the way it's going to have to be right now. It's hard to concentrate at work, and things at home aren't much better. You might want to just get away from it all and stick your head in the sand any way you can. That's actually not a bad idea. Secluding yourself from any distractions can help you narrow your focus to just one thing right now. Plus, it will help you avoid having to answer awkward questions.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

This day of freedom and frolic are yours to do with as you will. You're all about freedom on every level: You're doing what you want, when you want to do it. Your ideas are big and boundless, which means something truly incredible could spring forth today, Aquarius, if you put your mind to it. Or, you could just focus on enjoying your newfound sense of personal liberation. This is your big chance to redraw your boundaries exactly where you want them, so be sure to take it.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Your attention is like a Ping-Pong game. It's hard to know what you should do next. You're restless and demanding action, but your demands are subdued. Your job today will be getting others to notice you. Maybe then they'll listen to what you're trying to get across. Of course, once you have their attention, that would be a good time to dialogue about what they want, too. Some of their suggestions could be even better than yours. Hey, what do you care as long as it's interesting?
