April 20-May 20

Are you ready for some intensity? The answer should be yes, because this is going to feel good. The first thing to do is step out of your solitude. Leave the great outdoors behind and come into the waiting arms of your community. They care about you. Concentrate on feeling out this group and contributing to their shared efforts today. Being yourself will be easy when your heart is in it.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Don't be fresh. That's a tall order -- your trickster wants to come out and play, and you're roused by strange energies. But this isn't the time to stir up trouble, Gemini, however harmless you might think it is. The people you're dealing with require a more thoughtful approach. That shouldn't be too hard for you -- you're cerebral by nature. Put your sharp mind to use and mind your manners. It won't kill you, and just might end up saving your skin.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Show how much you care in the sweetest, most tactful ways you can today. And it probably goes without saying that giving will usually increase your potential for getting. Just keep those small kindnesses coming, and big success will be likely. Of course, you'll have to show some gratitude for that. Yes, it's an endless cycle, but it's also the social glue that holds your world together.

Leo

July 23-August 22

You have your opinions. Some would even call it a mindset, or maybe a brick wall. The air around here is already thick with tension, and you won't do yourself any favours by stirring the pot. Calm down. And if you'd at least consider a few other options today, you might find one that looks good. A gesture of cooperation would go a long way toward cracking through your wall.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

You'll be on a leisurely quest today. Make your inquiries from a position of comfort. Go with your gut instead of spending too much effort on research. This is your time, Virgo, and you can follow your own style. So what if the rude and simple minded are laughing at your refined methods? They couldn't get half as much done in twice the time, and it wouldn't be nearly as cool as what you're offering. That's why you're not even breaking a sweat. You already have this thing in the bag.

Libra

September 23-October 22

You're not used to being in such a snarly, surly mood, are you? Ordinarily you're pretty easygoing. But today, you're feeling scattered, and everything just comes out wrong. It's frustrating, to say the least -- your temper could even flare, though that's rare for you. In fact, channel some of that passion toward someone special. Isn't being partners so much more fun than arguing?

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Someone's way-too-normal approach to a situation has you swinging like a pendulum to the opposite extreme. But face it -- you're conventional, too, in your own way. So don't scoff at anyone for failing to think outside the box. It's time to focus on what truly matters. Scorpio, you can inspire others to be more creative, simply by being both positive and creative yourself.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Sometimes you get stuck in your opinions, don't you? This could be one of those times. A good idea turns into little more than dogma, and next thing you know, you're annoying the very people you're trying to impress. Well, you can't help it if you're feeling blindly stubborn, can you? Those could even seem like good qualities now -- at least, to you. Your audience, however, may feel a little miffed that you refuse to listen to their views. Oh, well. Later, you'll be more open to other views.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Integrity and grace under pressure are your strong points today. All the variables are falling into place. It's the product of your hard work and focus. Go ahead, pat yourself on the back. Then get back to work! You'll impress everyone with your ability to stretch to your full potential without breaking a sweat. You make it look easy. You're a natural trailblazer now, and people enjoy following your lead.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Everyone has their prejudices. No one is immune. In fact, today, even you might be shocked by your own words. Did that really come out of you? Do you actually think that way about certain people's lifestyle, politics or heritage? Well, a door into your closed mind just opened, even if that doesn't quite make you open-minded. Not yet, anyway. But you can try to be more tolerant, and you can change what you do with the information that comes in. Accept this challenge and meet it head on.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Be factually honest even when the facts could use a little fluffing. Be emotionally forthright even if you have to get past the squirm factor. Say what must finally be said, and you'll feel lighter, cleaner and a lot more deserving. Broadcast and spread your message for the people who need to hear it. Be as subtle or blatant as you have to be, but put the whole truth out there today. The benefits outweigh the risks - it won't even feel like gambling, because you have nothing to lose.
