Aries

Today may bring a keen sense of empathy and understanding, Aries. With this, verbal communication is also more likely to be effective. Consider seizing this energy by making a point of talking through any problems or issues you have with those in your life. If they don’t live with you, see about driving over to visit them or calling them up to work things out. If there isn’t anything pressing, see about expressing your affection for those closest to you by telling them straight out what they mean to you.

Taurus

Don’t be surprised if you find your mind going a thousand miles a minute today, Taurus. Slowing down will likely elude you and you’ll have to find one means or another to express what’s racing around in your head. The aspects today lend much to communication. Perhaps talking over your writing or ideas with someone whose insight you value will do the trick. Even doodling can give you a place to put your thoughts. Explore these activities today.

Gemini

Welcome to another great day, Gemini. The energy from the day’s aspects is positive and encouraging when it comes to communication and interaction with others. Why not take advantage of this? Get together to visit with friends and family and enjoy yourself. Consider inviting people over for a game or dinner. Even a potluck can be a lot of fun. You work hard all the time, so play hard today!

Cancer

You might find yourself really interested in getting out and doing something today, Cancer. And why not? It can’t be too difficult to phone a few friends and arrange to get together in the evening. Or perhaps you can look in the events page in your local newspaper and see whether a meeting or lecture is taking place that you’d like to attend. Is there a place you’ve been curious about and wanted to visit? If so, go there today and check it out. Make the best of your time!

Leo

Consider channeling your philosophical inspirations into some creative writing, Leo. You’ll certainly enjoy this type of activity. Even if you haven’t explored this before, there’s no better day than today to give it a whirl. Why not start a journal if you haven’t done so already? This will give your ideas a place to incubate, and it can become a starting point for further reflection. Or you could try your hand at poetry and fiction instead.

Virgo

You might feel the need for some time to yourself today, Virgo. And why not take it? Chances are you’re surrounded by others most of the time, and when you don’t take time to be alone with your thoughts and feelings, it can prove unhealthy for you. Taking care of your emotional well-being is critical, as you have a deeply sensitive nature. With continuous activity around you, there’s no time to connect with this part of you. Make time today.

Libra

Today you may want to go your own way regardless of what someone else wants, Libra. Your independence is very important to you. However, compromise might be necessary in order to avoid serious conflict. Consider splitting your day to allow for the wishes of those close to you and time for yourself. If you can’t make others understand why you want to be alone, this might be the best solution.

Scorpio

Today may well find you in the mood to head out on a venture or visit someone, Scorpio. When was the last time you took a day for something like this? Chances are it’s been too long. Not only will you enjoy it but others will be thrilled to have some time with you as well. Whether you pack up the whole family or head out on your own, seize the opportunity to visit a new place or connect with people you haven’t seen in a while.

Sagittarius

Serious thinking and communication will be enhanced today, Sagittarius. These are strong qualities for you anyway, and with this added boost, you’ll need to have a place to express yourself. If you’ve started a journal, this can prove to be an excellent outlet. Talking with other people is another. If there are issues or worries that have been bothering you, consider getting together with those involved and airing what’s on your mind. It’s a perfect day to get things resolved.

Capricorn

You might feel cornered into doing something you just don’t want to do today, Capricorn. Perhaps you made a promise to handle a project, or someone close to you has decided that it’s the day to tackle something specific. Either way, if you’re uncomfortable following through, communicate that to this person. Your ability to express yourself and be understood is enhanced with this day’s energy. Rescheduling might be far better than any potential resentment.

Aquarius

You might discover that someone close to you, a family member perhaps, could use a hand today, Aquarius. Chances are good, too, that he or she won’t ask for help out of pride. Don’t let that stop you, though. If you recognize a situation where you can be of assistance, go for it. Don’t wait for an invitation or request. Simply take hold of the circumstances and do what you can. Your efforts will be appreciated and you’ll leave feeling terrific that you could make a difference.

Pisces

When was the last time you used a pen and paper, Pisces? In this age of computers, the keyboard has all but replaced these wonderful tools. In the same way that walking provides much more than fresh air, the kinesthetic value of the rhythmic motion of writing with a pen is far more soothing and even healing than most realize. Moving your hand across the page can feel good and unlock places within you that aren’t accessed by typing. Try it today.
