Aries

Beware lawyers, bankers, and stockbrokers today, Aries. One of them is likely to try and mislead you with some inaccurate information. While it might be in his or her best interests for you to take this information at face value, it certainly isn’t in yours! Do your own research and get all the facts before making the financial investments recommended to you.

Taurus

A family member or other loved one may not be telling you the truth. In this person’s defense, he or she likely thinks they’re protecting you by shielding you from the truth. This is a time for you to trust your instincts, Taurus. If you’re told something that simply doesn’t ring true, check the information yourself rather than accept it at face value.

Gemini

You have an active mind and an even more active imagination, Gemini. Today you risk short-circuiting your brain as you struggle to keep up with all the ideas and information swirling inside your head. Take a few minutes to do a mental inventory. Write down everything you’re thinking right now so you can free some space in your brain for other issues. A long walk or jog would help soothe your mind.

Cancer

If a family member is in a bad mood but not confessing why, it’s up to you to step in and help. He or she is carrying that big black cloud around, casting shadows everywhere they go. Do what you can to snap your relative out of it, although take care not to force the issue too harshly. Counseling might be in order, and this may not be your area of expertise!

Leo

If a friend or colleague seems to be in trouble, you may not want to interfere for fear of being too intimate. But this isn’t a time to hold back, Leo. It’s likely that this person really does need your help. Your intervention will be much appreciated and possibly even rewarded. Be sure to get some rest tonight. You’re emotionally and physically drained.

Virgo

Your career may be sidetracked by petty gossip, rumor, and office politics. It’s likely that someone is pushing forward his or her agenda without any thought or concern for its impact on others. Do what you can to put a stop to such shenanigans, Virgo. There are times when it’s appropriate to be the whistleblower, and this is one of them.

Libra

Some bad news about your financial situation may not really be as bad as it first appears. Even so, it throws you for a loop. Double-check the information before spiraling into a panic, Libra. It may be that a computer made an error or a bank clerk messed up. You may have to unravel some paperwork, but it will be a relief to have it resolved.

Scorpio

In an unpleasant situation, your inclination is to protect your loved ones from the truth. This would be a mistake, Scorpio. Even though you’re acting out of love, your family members deserve to know the truth even if it hurts. You can’t shield them from the realities of the outside world. Most people, even the young, prefer to know the facts.

Sagittarius

You may be feeling tired and a bit wrung out today, Sagittarius. Although you’re a workaholic by nature, even you are forced to admit that this is a day to stay in bed. Give yourself these few hours to regroup and recoup your energy. You’ll need to be operating at peak form for all the work that’s likely to hit your desk next week.

Capricorn

There could be a missing person very much on your mind these days. Is it possible that the relationship is over and you’re the last one to know? Don’t let your insecurities get the better of you, Capricorn. It’s likely that your friend merely needs some time alone to sort out some big life issues. He or she will seek out your warmth and friendship again soon.

Aquarius

Misinformation is likely to spread like wildfire today, causing a lot of unnecessary upset either among your neighbors at home or your colleagues at work. Don’t accept at face value any gossip or rumor you hear, Aquarius. Check the accuracy of the information yourself. If it does turn out to be false, as is likely, you’ll feel sorry if you’ve had any part in perpetuating it.

Pisces

You’re finally setting in motion some longstanding goals of yours, Pisces. Good for you! But even though everything is in place and you’re ready to go, it’s possible that you’ll receive notice today of some delay in your plans. The frustration feels unbearable. But when you step back and look at the bigger picture, you’ll see that ultimately this delay is in your best interests.
