April 20-May 20

Get organised today. Put some effort into cleaning your home or workspace. The final result will make you feel wonderfully calm, from the inside out! Getting on track in terms of health and fitness brings you the same sense of self-possessed tranquility. You're taking your life into your own, quite capable hands. You can handle any obstacles that come your way. That's a good feeling.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

It's extra important to do your best today, because many people are in critical mindsets. It's not as easy as usual to get away with cutting corners. Normally you might be able to finesse your way through something, but not right now! What works best now is genuine focus and effort. Stay logical and attend to details -- but don't get caught up in them. Set a steady pace and stick to it.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Today it's both helpful and easy to get into a steady rhythm. Sticking to your daily routine is one good way to do that, since it's a rhythm you're already familiar with. Another way is simply to assess what you need to accomplish and then get the job done. You're sensible enough to make a feasible plan, one that employs a methodical approach to reaching your goal.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Your buoyant, expressive personality is a little more reserved today than usual. You've probably got a lot on your plate. You're just trying to stay focused as you juggle everything. Emphasise efficiency, but make sure your standards are reasonable. You expect a lot of yourself, and you're capable of a great deal. But there's an important difference between perfectionism and simply doing your best.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

You're focused today on creating a clean, healthy and streamlined lifestyle. Physical fitness may be at the top of your list. Certainly it's a good time to go for a brisk walk or to make sure you're hitting all the right food groups in your diet. It's also a great day for cleaning and organisation at work or at home. But your perfectionist streak is acute right now. Try not to drive yourself crazy!

Libra

September 23-October 22

You're extra conscious of others' expectations of you today. Someone important in your life has specific requirements of you. You intend to do your best to live up to them. But don't cause yourself undue stress in the process. It's a little too easy to be a perfectionist right now. In that state of mind, there's no such thing as good enough. Don't do that to yourself!

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

You make a good manager today, whether you're in charge of your family, a team of coworkers or students, or just yourself. You have a practical sense of what needs to be done, and you have one eye on the clock at all times. If you set a detailed agenda, you'll be able to stick to it -- probably down to the minute! That's how on top of your game you are.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Idealism won't get you nearly as far today as staying grounded and working hard. That may sound a bit restrictive. But some days are just made for focused efforts. Once you apply yourself and get into the groove of whatever you're doing, you might even find it fun -- like working out a logic puzzle. Figuring out the most efficient route toward a goal is like a good mental workout!

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Systems and patterns appeal to you today. You're like an efficiency expert -- someone with a sharp eye for detail. You're a person who can immediately spot resources being wasted and knows what to do to fix the problem. You may also have fun working puzzles now. Crosswords and Sudoku games exercise your brain. It craves the satisfaction of using logic to reason through a scenario to the best possible conclusion.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

If someone is checking up on your work today, expect them to be more critical than usual. Even if you're answering to yourself, this still applies. High standards are the norm right now. You might think you can't possibly live up to such unreasonable expectations, and you may be right. But stretch yourself a little. Treat it as a challenge. You might find you have greater capabilities than you realised.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Today is not a day for following your whims. Common sense is favoured. It will help you determine what needs to be done and the best way to accomplish it. Letting your imagination wander is fun, and it's second nature to you. But right now, it would just pull you away from the goal -- working quietly and efficiently through your tasks, step by step until they're completed.
