Aries
Someone near and dear to you is about to receive a wonderful, wonderful surprise: a gift that's just perfect, something they couldn't love any better if they'd chosen it themselves. And speaking of perfect gifts, this is your official notice that 'perfect' doesn't necessarily mean 'expensive' -- and that an experience is often more valuable than an object. File that important lesson away as you enjoy this moment alongside your loved one.
Teamwork makes more sense than going solo today -- but it may be tough, depending on your coworkers or family members. It's a good time to get people talking about how to get along better.
The two of you make quite a team at the moment, and there's very little you can't accomplish with your considerable combined powers. You're right on the same page now, and you're ready to do some speed-reading.
Taurus
If you've recently stopped seeing someone, prepare for unexpected company today or tonight -- and over the next month or so, in fact. Whoever you've just left behind may be back for yet another dramatic scene, too, so it's up to you to make them realize this really is it and you both really do need to move on. And don't forget to lavish some attention on that new flame in between commercials.
Try not to fight too hard against the currents of the day -- things go better for you if you avoid the big power struggles. It may be impossible to avoid them entirely, but you can come out unscathed if you're careful.
Everything's just a wee bit weird right about now. Will you freeze up and freak out, or will you go with the flow? Talking about your feelings with your certain someone can help you find your way.
Gemini
You've never been shy about speaking your mind, but for the next month or so, it's going to come even more easily -- and others will seem to be in the same frame of mind. Since you love surprises, and everyone knows it, you won't mind. But you should be ready for anything, from phone calls to surprise visits to invitations to travel. Yes, you're always up for this sort of thing, so you'll definitely enjoy it -- but your loved ones, not so much.
You need to experience some other culture, so get out there and poke around. If you can't hit the road today, then you might be able to find something online -- or a festival just down the road.
One of your finest (and most intriguing) qualities is your ability to try on new points of view like other people try on shoes. You're definitely keeping your sweetheart on their toes now.
Cancer
Plenty of fire and excitement is on today's agenda, so prepare yourself. Chances are excellent that a coworker will be responsible for turning up the thermostat -- which could turn out to be a wonderful thing. Of course, fire shows its face in many ways, so along with the possibility of a casual, supposedly harmless flirtation turning passionate in a hurry, you might also encounter an argument. Either way, it definitely won't be a boring day.
Flexibility is paramount today -- for you, anyway! If you can show others that you're willing to sway and bend, then they are much more likely to do the same themselves. Be a good example.
What if you were more flexible, more forgiving, more open-minded, more free-thinking? Try it on for size. Say 'maybe' instead of 'no' -- or even say 'yes.' Your relationship stands to benefit.
Leo
You'll be wearing your emotions like a t-shirt today, and they'll be the first thing others will notice when they see you. Fortunately, the heavens have arranged for you to be in a wonderful mood -- unpredictable, perhaps, and unusual, for sure, but pleasant. So don't worry about offending anyone (not that you would) and don't hold anything back. The fans will love you, exactly as you are.
It's all too easy for you to hang on to things or people today -- though it's vital that you let go of them when the time is right. Do your best to practice giving up, as that's the surest way to win today.
The solution you've hit on when it comes to that issue between the two of you is so close to right, you could probably just go with it. Apply that big brain a little more, though, and you'll be amazingly spot-on.
Virgo
For the next few weeks, you're going to shock and amaze the masses, not to mention the folks you see on a regular basis. You might also end up looking in the mirror wondering who that is. Don't fight it. Everybody gets to be remarkably and appropriately aggressive every now and then. It's your turn, and there's no better time to be struck with a heady dose of fire. Put it to good use.
Someone close at work or at home asks for criticism, but you should make sure to temper it with praise. In fact, a little creative thinking on your part can get them to hear almost anything from you.
If you've been wondering how to handle an issue between the two of you, open your mind and think about it again now. The stars are sending an infusion of creative energy that just might hold the key.
Libra
If you're alone today, you might be in the mood to pull out your old scrapbooks and photo albums and flip through them -- and that's fine. Just don't get yourself too stuck in the past. It's over and done with, and there's nothing but important new experiences on the way. Besides, you're due to meet someone who'll drag you right into the future -- and you can bet you won't be kicking, crying or screaming.
You need to show others how to get along today -- though you might make it look too easy! Your ability to get close to people is legendary, but on a day like today, you can make a real difference.
Sure, sometimes understanding your certain someone can be a bit of a struggle, but right now it ought to be a snap. You're extra tuned in to not only what they're saying but also what's going unspoken. Hot!
Scorpio
Surprising encounters will be everywhere today, especially at work. And when a coworker tosses you a glance or a smile that isn't quite professional, no one else may notice -- but you certainly will. For now, pretend not to notice. Whether you smile back or not is up to you. But if your professional position has recently changed, you'd better think carefully about what to do after that.
You may need to accept an idea that seems distasteful today, but you're great at tackling change. Keep moving forward until you can see where things are headed -- that ought to make it all easier on you.
Beware of wild outbursts -- one moment you may be laughing hysterically, the next you're just about ready to blow your top. Of course, this kind of passion can also be channeled into some hot romance!
Sagittarius
On one hand, you're totally absorbed by your work -- even though getting things done will be tough, thanks to a supervisor who's only objective seems to be getting in your way. On the other, you're reevaluating what's important to you. And once you uncover it, you won't be willing to back down on your beliefs -- not even for a paycheck. Tread carefully. You're walking that fine line you've heard so much about.
If you need to impress people, now is the time to take care of it. Your energy is more attractive than ever, and you should be able to get almost anyone to see you at your very best.
The chance encounters you have now make for funny tales to share with your certain someone at the end of the day -- and one of the random people you meet has some surprisingly good romantic advice.
Capricorn
You're in the mood for a little excitement. Actually, that's not entirely true. You're in the mood for a whole lot of excitement -- and you'd like it to be of the romantic variety. Fortunately, you just so happen to know someone who'll be happy to help you make the very most of your mood. Better give them a call now. This may not last forever, and you definitely don't want to waste it.
Try to deal with those money-related problems today, rather than blowing them off or waiting for a better time. Your mind is in the right place to handle it all with grace and style.
Curses, foiled again! A romantic plan may not work out exactly the way you'd envisioned now, but if you think fast (and keep the kisses and compliments going) you can absolutely make the best of it.
Aquarius
You've had a wonderful time lately, with all kinds of new and fascinating romantic interests coming your way, and you're not ready to quit just yet. You are, however, ready to narrow the playing field substantially as of today. But don't be surprised if the object of your affection makes the first move. The unexpected is about to make an entrance into your life in a very dramatic -- and very welcome -- way. Enjoy!
You've got a vision, and you can see it quite clearly. Now is the best possible time to try to bring it to life, as your energy is in sync with the rest of the world. Move forward!
Your big heart, beautiful intentions and intriguing sexiness are all in full effect at the moment, making you a very exciting person to be entangled with. Be sure to free up extra time for love, sweet love.
Pisces
If you're currently involved, this would be the perfect day to stay home, cuddle up under a nice, warm comforter and watch a couple of movies. If either of you can't play hooky, though, and you need to force yourself to focus, remember, it's only going to be for a few hours. Once quittin' time rolls around, you can both pretend it's date night all over again. Bet you can manage until then -- especially if you keep that warm, snuggly image in mind.
Your wisdom is in high demand today, though you may not feel especially articulate. That's okay -- mystify your pupils with crunchy metaphors or odd, poetic mumblings. They love it!
Sure, anything's possible, but are those castles you're building in the air when it comes to your relationship really likely to become reality? How about starting smaller, with a sweet little house of love?
