Aries
A big test of your patience will come in the form of a rather demanding person today. But don't worry. The Universe has loaded you up with an extra supply of tolerance, so you'll be prepared for whatever comes your way. None of your feathers can get ruffled now, so it might be the perfect time to have that conversation you've been putting off with a relative. Your criticism shields are nearly impenetrable, so a long lecture is something you'll be able to tolerate easily today.
Taurus
Your practical side is in total control today, so this is a good time to confront temptation. No matter what it is you'll be able to handle it. Give that diet one more try today, and you could discover that you have a hidden stash of self-discipline that has just been waiting to be set free! Frivolous parties, gossipy small talk, and other sorts of trivial interests aren't going to hold any allure. You're all about substance and utilitarianism.
Gemini
No matter what you do today, do it with conviction. Now is not the time to be wishy-washy or drop something once it starts to get boring. Today, you have to commit. Save the flighty behavior for a time when no one is counting on you and you have the freedom to flit from one thing to another. If you're too unpredictable now, you run the risk of confusing people who need to have confidence in you. Even if you have to fake your conviction, do it.
Cancer
If you haven't made time to socialize with your friends recently, make that your main priority today. Schedule a date with your closest friend, or better yet, plan a day trip to your favorite destination. Doing something active is better than sitting in a movie theater. Don't worry about creating quality time. Just have fun. Quantity does mean more than quality now, no matter what the relationship influencers tell you.
Leo
It can be easy to confuse stubbornness with determination. Make sure you're not giving a negative label to someone who is merely doing what they think is right. Resist making any judgments about the questionable behavior of the people around you today. They have more power over you than you might think. Plus, they may have no choice. Adopt a "live and let live" attitude and you'll avoid stress and unwanted scrutiny.
Virgo
Shaping your personal philosophy is not a luxury. The longer you put off making the tough decisions, the harder finding internal strength when you need it will be. You already have most of your concepts about living formed, but they haven't solidified yet -- they're still somewhat malleable. Large personalities could influence you, so be careful that you don't let someone else's views about life change who you want to be.
Libra
Kindness will play a major role in your day. You are meant to find a new understanding of reciprocation. Give to others what you want to get from them, and everything will work out the way you need it to. If you've been feeling alienated by anyone lately, today is the day to reach out and try for a soft, sweet connection. Be honest and compassionate about how you feel, and remember that thinking about others' feelings is a wise way to proceed in life.
Scorpio
You've been enjoying a powerful phase, and your potency isn't about to weaken anytime soon. But you should beware of forces beyond your control today. Unexpected wrinkles in your plans could cause you some frustration if you don't take the initiative and meet every challenge head-on. Don't try to do everything by yourself. You know the people you need on your team, so get the word out and rally the troops around your cause.
Sagittarius
The heady thrill of excessive behavior could tempt you today, but it's time to take a more conservative stance. Watch your money, avoid shopping, and don't overeat. Cutting back where you tend to go overboard won't be as difficult as it may have been in the past, partially because you've recently learned some lessons the hard way. Food isn't going to give you any comfort today, so ignore your sweet tooth.
Capricorn
Unenthusiastic people might test your endurance, but today your creativity is at an all-time high, and you're up for the challenge! You can make this day a blast even if you're stuck in a boring situation with a bunch of folks who think talking about the weather is scintillating conversation. Use your imagination. It's your ticket out of boredom every time. Toss a lifeline to other bored folks and suggest alternative places for your minds to wander.
Aquarius
You've always had a gift for tact, but lately you may have been feeling that people who use a sledgehammer approach with their foes are getting further than you have with well-chosen words. This isn't true. In reality, you keep the upper hand by using the subtler approach. So if you feel a need for persuasion today, have confidence that you can be forceful without losing your dignity and get exactly what you want.
Pisces
Communication could be tough today. There are assumptions being made that are causing people to put up their defenses and resist listening to logic. It's not up to you to change their minds, so don't even try. Just don't back down from what you believe, and don't back down from sharing your beliefs as you see fit. Emails, calls, and other forms of communication are all fair game to everyone. Feel free to use them to get your point across.
