Aries
As much as the eight hours we necessarily devote to earning our daily bread do cut into our social life, most of us manage to get through it, sometimes even with just a hint of a smile and a positive attitude. Today, however, that may be especially tough to pull off, so do yourself a favor: dangle a career carrot of your own creation in front of you to get yourself through the day, then make terrific plans for the evening.
Taurus
Blasts from the past are showing up behind every corner, and while it's sometimes surprising it's not catching you totally off guard. You're thinking about that hold science fair project in third grade when your partner in crime rounds the corner at the grocery store. Sure, it could be considered wild coincidence, but you know that it's more than that, so take this welcome opportunity to catch up.
Gemini
You'll hear something you haven't heard in years, a catchphrase, an expression, or a bad joke that conjures memories of someone you haven't thought about in far too long. What are they up to? Where do they live now? Did they ever finish their manifesto? Fire up a search engine, let your fingers doing the walking, and see what you can find. Chances are you'll find they're looking for you right now too. Funny, that.
Cancer
Feeling a little close to your shell lately? If being around people is running you ragged, don't be afraid to just be up front about your need for some alone time and retire to your room. After all, you've spent a pretty penny on those luxurious sheets and down comforter, so why not revel in them? And if you're not down for being all alone, why not invite that special someone who would dig your new sheets, too?
Leo
Expert con artists only wish you were an easy mark, and they'll try their best to find out just how savvy you are today. But you've got them figured out, and you won't be buying that beachfront property in Montana this time. You've learned from past experience and there's no way they're going to pull one over on you. Pat yourself on the back while you encourage them to move on to the next poor sap.
Virgo
You're smarter than the average bear, and a new member of your social crew may not be hip to that quite yet. In fact, they might be trying to manipulate you into doing something for them that you really don't want to do. Lucky for you, you're keen enough to see right through their little ploys and skilled enough to smile ever so sweetly as you tell them to go jump in the lake.
Libra
Go ahead and allow yourself to dream. First off, if anyone loves it, it's you, especially when romance is the genre. If you've got the right companion for the journey, it will be even more fun, and if you can play hooky from work (make it into a super-long weekend, ideally) indulge yourself. Start with a walk in the park, a romantic matinee, and lunch at cozy cafe. All romance. It couldn't hurt.
Scorpio
If anyone can convince someone else to try something, because just deciding to go for it is more than half the battle, let's face it, it's you. That's going to go double now. Your quest is to use this amazing skill only on those who have used it on lesser beings themselves with little or no conscience about it, or on someone who appreciates skill and technique in this department so much that they'll actually get a kick out of it.
Sagittarius
There's one particular condition that's absolutely lethal to you when it comes to relating to the rest of us: righteous anger. You're feeling that now, and for good reason. Warn any innocent spectators to step away before the explosion occurs, especially since the heavens have endowed you with the ability to let the person who pushes your buttons have it with every bit of intellectual anger and perfect prose you've got, in no small amount either.
Capricorn
Obviously, the stars are testing your patience via at least one someone on this planet, because it's beginning to feel like everyone who's crossing your path has arrived with information that's either totally confusing or totally inaccurate. Either way, hold on to your temper, and don't shoot the messenger, unless of course they're the person responsible. And don't sign anything. Seriously.
Aquarius
You've decided that it's time to introduce your sweetie to the gang. Great. Now straighten out your priorities. What you wear isn't nearly as important as giving both sides the exact information they'll need to absolutely love each other before they even meet. That ought to be easy too. After all, if you love them, and vice versa, they've already got some amazing common denominators.
Pisces
You're due for quite the emotional moment, regardless of who you're with, where you are, or what your companion says or does. You won't care, and you won't be afraid or ashamed to let it out. Basically, the Universe has posted an astrological greeting card on your forehead, and it's a real tearjerker. Open it and enjoy it. And be sure to keep lots of tissues handy.
