April 20-May 20

Life could get pretty emotional today. For you, this is a very pleasant state to be in. You're already deeply in touch with your physical self, and now you're in touch with your feelings, too. You feel wonderfully integrated, and life is poignant in all its facets. Even if you're feeling a little melancholy, it's nice to indulge in life's bittersweet quality. This helps you to connect more truly with other people.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Your personal needs and urges recede today. You're more focused now on other people than on yourself. You may find yourself offering help to a stranger at the grocery store, or engaging in other random acts of kindness. That's a very positive kind of energy to put out into the world. Keep it up! Right now, many people can use as much compassion as they can get.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Your head is in the clouds today, and it may take great effort to come back down to earth. Why even try? If you're feeling dreamy, just let yourself dream. If you're sleepy and low energy, make time for a midday nap, or at least grab a few minutes to close your eyes and relax your muscles. The current influence is hard to fight, so you're better off just giving in.

Leo

July 23-August 22

If your feelings are stronger than usual today, you aren't alone. Tears might spring to your eyes at the slightest provocation, but this isn't a bad thing. It means you're a deeply emotional person, and right now, that side of you is right at the surface. Again, you aren't the only one! Lots of people are highly affected by sad or poignant stories. Be glad you're so emotionally attuned to the world around you.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Kindness counts for a lot today. If you find yourself being less than empathetic regarding someone's feelings or needs, do your best to soften up a little. Maybe you think they're just overreacting or telling a sob story -- but to them, their plight is probably enormous and very real. And compassion doesn't cost you a thing. Sometimes, the best help you can give someone is your understanding.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Your view of life isn't entirely realistic today. A romantic mood could lead you to trust in people you shouldn't or hope for things that can never be. It's essential to have a sense of hope. Still, it's important to protect yourself from those who would take advantage of you. Try to be at least somewhat practical in your outlook. If something seems too good to be true, it might well be.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Your intuition is especially strong today. If you sense something at a deep level, trust that feeling, even if there's nothing obvious to support it. Gut reactions count for a lot now, and having confidence in your own ability to perceive subtle cues can make all the difference in protecting yourself against untrustworthy people. You can also avoid sticky situations by following that helpful inner voice.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

It's important to be sensitive to others' feelings today. You truly believe honesty is the best policy, and often, it is. But in some cases, the truth can wield a heavy blow. It's not sugar coating anything to temper it with kindness and compassion. That's simply being a good friend -- especially on a day like this, when most people are feeling a little tender and fragile. They would do the same for you.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Today isn't a good day for pushing yourself, physically or mentally. No matter what you might have planned, it's subject to change under the current cosmic influence. For example, you might trade a vigorous workout for an extra hour of sleep, or working late for coming home early to spend time with your family. You just aren't feeling that energetic, and that's not a bad thing. It's smart to adjust your schedule to your mood.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Expect a rush of emotion at some point today. You aren't used to being a sappy, gooey type. But people and events have a way of getting in past your defense today, affecting you at a deeply subjective level. When this happens, just go with it. There's no sense in pretending to be stoic or ignoring your feelings. You could make a really nice, personal connection with someone if you stay open and emotional.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Your selfless generosity is highlighted today. You want to give and give and give -- whatever you have, you're willing to donate to others, if it will help them somehow! This is a wonderful impulse, but it may be a misguided one. It's important to stay realistic when you're bending over backward for someone. For example, you can offer your assistance, but that doesn't mean someone's going to accept it graciously.
