Aries
Collaboration is time-consuming and tricky, but it will definitely create a better environment for you and your people today. Enter any discussion with an open mind and open ears—if you listen to what other people have to say, you will encourage them to speak honestly. It has never occurred to you to use other people to your advantage, although the same cannot be said of some people in your group. Be aware of that fact before you accept everything at face value.
Taurus
You got up on the right side of the bed this morning! It's as if you have been shot out of a cannon—you'll be so full of energy that you could cause some damage if you don't carefully plan where you want to land. You have been developing a growing understanding of a certain sticky situation, and today you will be able to channel your energy to address it much more effectively than ever before. Use all your energy to defuse a potential bomb in your social group.
Gemini
If you feel as though you're running in place today, don't worry—it's not your fault. The powers that be are holding you back right now, and you won't make much progress in anything today. This is probably not much of a surprise for you, and you shouldn't feel guilty if you don't really care about getting ahead right now. Other people have been sucking the fun out of everything, and they have created this confused situation, not you.
Cancer
You can use language to obscure what you truly mean (but are too afraid to say), or you can use it to elucidate exactly what you mean. The choice is yours, but it would be a shame to waste your excellent verbal skills on miscommunication. Speak to people in a way that will get your meaning across. Don't be afraid to speak the truth, and don't dumb down your language unnecessarily.
Leo
Just because you know that you can't completely solve someone else's problems doesn't mean that you shouldn't at least try to help them. Listening to a friend's or relative's issues and making some suggestions could do a lot to put that person on a better track. Plus, being there for someone else will prove that you can be counted on, and it will give you a chance to put some good energy into a relationship that is too important to sacrifice.
Virgo
Someone just outside of your circle is using some over-the-top flattery to make people bend to their will. But this tactic isn't going to work on you, and you both know it. So watch out for some trickery of another kind, and use your critical thinking if something seems too good to be true. Give it the once over and make sure you know what's real. You're not being lied to, but you're definitely not being told the whole truth.
Libra
Your sentimentality is at an all-time high right now, so you'll be seeing charm and sweetness where none truly exists. On the one hand, this will be a great mood lifter—you see everything and everyone as agreeable and lovely. But on the other hand, this attitude could cause you to miss seeing some important red flags. Resist making any formal alliances with people until your critical side is working again.
Scorpio
You normally know exactly what you want in life and just how you want it—a quality that many people admire. But now your mind is open to contradictory possibilities. And instead of confusing you or irritating you, these ideas are intriguing to you. Follow them and investigate whatever seems interesting at the moment. You're ready to shed some old notions and try some new approaches to old problems. This is a phase of rapid growth for you.
Sagittarius
Your imagination is ready for some inspiration, so art and music will hold a great deal of appeal for you today. Even billboards and ads might capture your attention and show you new ways of thinking about things. Your world view is sophisticated, but you still have a lot more to learn about how people can perceive and express themselves in different ways. Attend a concert if possible, or just put on your earphones and enjoy a new tune.
Capricorn
There is certainly no crime in tooting your own horn from time to time. After all, if you've done something to be proud of you have every right to publicize your accomplishments. Plus, patting yourself on the back just feels good. But it also never hurts to take a strategic approach to your self-promotion. Making your announcements right around bonus time, for example, will get you more dramatic results than a daily "guess what I did today" email.
Aquarius
It's prudent to be open-minded to many different ways of doing things; however, at a certain point in any decision-making process, you have to pick one way and go with it. Don't fear that by choosing one route you're denigrating all the others. Today, make some important choices, and keep in mind that there's no such thing as right or wrong in this instance. It's just a matter of figuring out what is right for you. People will respect your decision. They'll have to.
Pisces
Have you ever cooked something that turned out to be less delicious than you expected? You had all the ingredients and you did everything according to the recipe, but it just didn't come together in the right way. In a group situation, you may be experiencing the same sort of thing now. And the problem lies in the quality of your ingredients. It's not that something is missing. The elements are all there, but one (or perhaps two) of them is just not good enough.
