Aries

This will be a day rich in reflection, Aries. You’re able to observe what is going around you while still retaining your distance. Other people’s ambitions will seem amusing to you as they play their parts more like caricatures than real people. Stepping back like this does you good. You should do it more often.

Taurus

Some long-awaited recognition could come your way today, Taurus. You’re finished with the hassles you’ve experienced recently and have now entered a calmer period. Those who could only criticize before can’t find enough words to praise you. Take the compliments at face value. There’s nothing wrong with being happy with yourself.

Gemini

You have a day of profound reflection ahead. While you may be tempted to think about how far you’ve come, your time would be better spent thinking about what the future holds. You’ve entered a period of rethinking your identity and objectives. These aren’t small things. You will need every ounce of energy at your disposal to make it through this time of transition.

Cancer

This would be an ideal day to take extra good care of your body, Cancer. Don’t kid yourself that those back problems will just go away – ditto that pain in your knee. Pick up the phone and make that appointment with the physical therapist. It won’t hurt you to set aside your ambition and responsibilities for one day.

Leo

You may have recently modified the material aspects of your life. Was it sufficient to stop there? More profound changes might be in order. Take a look at what motivated you to create the life you live now. Pay special attention to the choices you’ve made in your professional life. Are you sure you’re doing what you were meant to do? Are your talents being used to their fullest?

Virgo

This will be a great day to meditate, Virgo. You may be a bit dissatisfied with yourself because your various projects have yet to take form. You’re impatient, but who wouldn’t be? This waiting period has lasted for about two months, but will soon end. The planets ask you to consider only what is essential. Don’t allow yourself to start new projects based on anything superfluous.

Libra

It’s an excellent day, but be careful not to go overboard. You might be tempted to think that minor financial difficulties are already behind you. Alas, they are not. What you do today provides the blueprint for your future. Continued efforts to stabilize your behavior will provide the future security you desire.

Scorpio

You’re in the home stretch now, Scorpio! Kiss your worries goodbye. Your efforts pay off in spades as people listen to your advice and bend over backward to please you. Although certain details in your love life still need ironing out, it’s safe to coast for a while. You’ve spent months in this process of self-transformation and you deserve a little rest.

Sagittarius

Your life certainly seems to revolve around human contact. You’re an outgoing, cheerful, engaging conversationalist who enjoys bringing people together, though lately you’ve been yearning to be alone. Sagittarius, don’t ignore any urge you feel for solitude. Even though it’s an unusual need for you, it’s still a valid one.

Capricorn

Sometimes friends become a person’s real family. Your friendships are deep and enduring. Many people are eager to give you help today, so why are you reluctant to receive it? Haven’t you been the one promoting the benefits of warm, sincere friendship? The day ahead makes you aware of your talents and reinforces just how important such friendships really are.

Aquarius

You’ve made it over the hump, Aquarius. You’ve moved beyond the problems of the recent past and are entering a more peaceful phase. You will complete your projects at work, and your domestic life will be the picture of bliss and harmony. Enjoy this period of rest and relaxation. It will soon be followed by a period of intense longing requiring your total attention.

Pisces

The outlook for today is excellent, Pisces. The current alignment of the planets and the somewhat oppressive atmosphere of the past few days inspire you to change your surroundings and visit new places. Why not plan a little trip? All signs indicate that now is the best time for such an adventure. If you delay, you will feel stuck in the same old routine again.
