Aries

Start the day with some vigorous yoga and then some meditation to help clear your mind, Aries. Stretch your body and get the blood flowing through all of your limbs. Once your blood is flowing, your mind will get moving. Before it gets too far into its noisy routine, take the opportunity to maintain a quiet, serene state while you clear out the static and set forth your goals for the day.

Taurus

Do something for the community today, Taurus, and really consider how your talents and skills can best be put to work. Consider volunteering at a school or library. Donate blood or help the elderly. Whatever you do, smile knowing that you’re making direct contact with friends who need your assistance. Instead of just complaining about the way things are going, take a proactive role in leading the way toward a more philanthropic world.

Gemini

If you’re having trouble tackling a giant problem, Gemini, don’t get discouraged or overwhelmed. They key for you is to break things down into smaller chunks, analyze them, and figure out their role within the greater whole. You will find that by taking things one step at a time, any problem you encounter will be infinitely easier to overcome than you may have thought at first.

Cancer

It may seem like everyone around you is happy and getting what they want while you’re stuck in the trenches, Cancer. Don’t compare yourself to other people and make judgments based on outside appearances. The truth of the matter is that they’re most likely only looking at the immediate future and experiencing short-term pleasures. You, however, have your sights set on the long-term and will probably be much better off.

Leo

Imagination and fantasy play a big part in your thinking today, Leo, and you shouldn’t hesitate to embrace this frame of mind. There’s a great deal of power to be drawn from your sense of freedom to explore and dream. Your thinking is more of a higher consciousness now. You should take advantage of this lofty perspective to see things from a neutral viewpoint.

Virgo

Engage more of your rational mind today, Virgo. If your mind continues on its track into a fantasy world, you might consider enlisting the help of people who can help you bring some discipline to your situation. For you, the general feeling of the day is likely to be that the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak. Let others help you get inspired to get out of lazy mode.

Libra

Suppose you were someone else for a day, Libra. How would it feel to be treated the way you normally treat other people? This is a good time to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and experience life through their eyes. By doing this, you’re apt to become more conscious of your own actions and the effect of those actions on the people around you.

Scorpio

Today your thoughts may turn to fashion and the different ways in which you can improve your wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to create a look that reflects your true inner spirit. Deck yourself in external splendor to illustrate the many different colors and layers that you carry on the inside. Don’t hesitate to pick up a fashion magazine at the grocery store.

Sagittarius

The amazing thing about your nature is that, like a good politician, you have just the right tone of voice and catch phrase for every situation. You can put on your smile and charm and talk your way out of just about any pickle you get into. Embrace this incredible gift, but make sure that your overall goals are noble as opposed to self-serving or vengeful.

Capricorn

You’re apt to get the feeling that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence today, Capricorn. Try not to get too hung up on this. Either make the effort to go where the landscape looks richer and more fruitful or stay where you are. The key to true happiness is to make sure that regardless of where you end up, you enjoy the spot where you are.

Aquarius

Your mind may wander to a fantasyland full of castles, wizards, and magic dragons today, Aquarius. You could find that you’re putting yourself in the robes of a beautiful or handsome figure in a tall tower who’s waiting for the perfect mate to come along. Observe the fanciful scenario you’ve created and see how the symbols and characters connect with your real life. Your imagination is trying to tell you something.

Pisces

Get on the fast track and use your powerful words and creative mind to make quick decisions that are mindful yet spontaneous. If you get in a pinch today, Pisces, don’t worry about it. Simply relax, take a deep breath, and let your intuition guide you to the right path. Instead of wasting your energy thrashing helplessly in the water, call for help.
