April 20-May 20

A sweet, sentimental mood sets in today, warming your heart. Your sense of compassion for other people deepens. You understand their feelings and their problems even better than usual, which makes it easy to reach out to them in a warm, natural way. Lend your support to someone who needs it, or let a friend know how much you care for them. Even the smallest acts of generosity can make a big difference.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You're in a resourceful mood today. You have the mental tools you need to deal with just about anything. You're able to judge each situation that arises on its own merits. Don't be surprised if you're more shy than usual. It's okay to withdraw from daily life sometimes -- especially if you're feeling a bit sensitive. It's a great day to hole up alone or with your family and take care of business.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Today, your emotional life is an interesting mixture of sensitive and strong. You're feeling sentimental, and harsh words or hard situations could hurt your feelings. But that very tenderness is what makes you so compassionate, and compassion makes you powerful. You can be a true nurturing force now, and really make a difference in someone's life -- a friend's or a stranger's. Tap into that feeling, giving side of yourself today.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Spend time with family today, or your closest friends -- you know, those people who might as well be family. You aren't in the mood for the company of strangers. In fact, having to chat up someone you don't know could make you nervous, despite your natural warmth and charm. So stick to familiar people and places as much as possible today. Soon, you'll feel outgoing again.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Your attachment to your home base -- friends, family, even your house or apartment itself -- feels deeper today than usual. And there's no better way to demonstrate your soul-deep commitment to these familiar people and places than through selfless service. Caring for an elderly or ill family member is a declaration of love. Cooking dinner for a friend is a gesture of affection.

Libra

September 23-October 22

It's easy to get a little clingy with your loved ones today. You're feeling a bit insecure, and you crave the comfort of familiar faces. Of course, if you're stuck on your own, you'll have to find a way to calm your own nerves. And no, that doesn't mean calling up every old friend in your address book! Today offers you a good opportunity to learn to rely on yourself when you're feeling emotional.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Today, you're most at home in familiar surroundings, where you know you're in control of your environment. Spending time with strangers, such as at a party or a professional conference, may put you outside your comfort zone. On the other hand, you're mentally strong enough to turn any situation to your own advantage. Just remember, you're at your best when spending time with people who draw out your genuine, nurturing side.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Your usual happy-go-lucky demeanor is dimmed slightly today. Worries about your present or future stability are crowding in, demanding your unwilling attention. This is a good time to use your natural flexibility to rise to the challenge. If your relationships or your finances are on shaky ground, ask yourself today what you can do to improve that situation. Listen to your intuition for the answer.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Deep down, you're experiencing some worries that you haven't acknowledged or processed yet, and they're making you a bit defensive today. But the people who know you best will see through your moody behavior to the anxiety that lies beneath. There's no point in pretending you're fine if you aren't. In fact, opening up about your worries will make you feel better, in part because it will remind you that you can lean on your friends.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Sticky, messy emotions bog you down today, getting in the way of whatever you're trying to accomplish. You might prefer to set your feelings aside and take a completely unsentimental view of things, but that may not be possible. Sometimes, life has a way of pushing you into a corner and forcing you to face your feelings. At least you can take comfort in the fact that this will pass quickly.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Your emotional life takes on a deeply subjective hue today. It's easy to read the people around you if you just tune in to what your instincts are telling you. You want to help them, especially if you sense that they're feeling worried or upset. Be as nurturing as possible without taking on someone else's negativity. Sometimes you're like a sponge for others' feelings, Pisces -- good and bad!
