Aries
Comfortable? Good. Because you'll be interviewing potential partners for the
next few days, and you'll need to give that tender task your full attention.
Yes, it's a tough job. But heaven knows if anyone is up for tough jobs, it's
you. Now settle down, pull out your yellow legal pad and your special pen,
and get to work. Only so many hours are in a day.
Taurus
This could be tricky -- the whole day, that is. The good news is you're
entirely familiar with the concept of doing battle, so if someone tries to
put one over on you, no matter who they happen to be, you absolutely won't
stand for it. That goes double for anyone who thinks higher of their own
authority than they really should. It might be time to take them down a peg
or two.
Gemini
Most of the planet doesn't deal well with change. Fortunately, you just love
it. You're a living example of how great the ebb and flow of the universe
can be. Keep those facts in mind today when you're trying to deal with
others who aren't quite so open to last-minute modifications in their
carefully planned schedules. They may not be kindred spirits, but they're
fellow humans. Convince them to loosen up.
Cancer
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to navigate a very delicate
situation: tending to your family duties and satisfying your urge to climb
the career ladder. Well, if anyone can do it, you can. Tenacity, after all,
is your specialty -- even so, staying diligent may be trickier than usual.
Not to worry: If you work your magic the way you always have, you'll pull it
off.
Leo
You've done everything you possibly could to avoid having this conversation,
but you're not on the planet alone. So while you won't relish having to say
certain things, you can at least stop blaming yourself. Remember, you're
only half responsible. It definitely takes two to tango, and today's dance
is no exception. So say what you have to say, then move on with your life.
The weekend looks great, by the way, so get over this rough spot and you'll
have it made.
Virgo
Don't take any guff from someone who thinks they have you over a barrel
because they know your secrets -- and how badly you want to protect them.
You happen to know something just as potentially volatile about your
tormentor. Not that you'd really ever choose to say anything about it. But
do make it clear you know what they're up to and you're not going to play
their game. Not for a second.
Libra
Bet you're feeling a bit tired right about now, hmm? Especially if you were
out and about last night, playing with your friends or perhaps your main
squeeze. Well, grab yourself a power nap, because last-minute changes in
your plans for the evening could mean you'll be up late once again. And if
you can't fit in a nap? Oh, well. As the saying goes, 'You can sleep when
you're dead.' But don't worry, a good night's rest is right around the
corner.
Scorpio
It's an instant replay of yesterday, complete with every last stumbling
block, barrier and impediment you could possibly have imagined -- as well as
a couple you hadn't. You being you, however, these challenges will only
sweeten the pot. You'll gladly jump through every hoop, navigate every
obstacle on the course and do whatever it takes to get where you want to be.
At that point, feel free to sit, relax and gloat.
Sagittarius
As optimistic as you ordinarily are, there's one particular person out there
who can bring you down, make you doubt yourself and others and set you to
wondering if it's really at all worth the effort you've invested. Your
mission, right now, is to avoid that person for at least the next 48 hours.
It's not that you'll never see them again. But you need all the positive
energy you can muster.
Capricorn
It might not be fun, and it probably won't go down in your mental scrapbook
as the best on record, but once you've made it through this day, you'll feel
really good about yourself -- as if you've accomplished something. So when
it seems as if the universe is throwing everything but the kitchen sink
between you and where you need to be, don't give up. Ever heard about
testing what you're made of? That's what's going on -- and this is one test
you're guaranteed to pass.
Aquarius
You've put everything you possibly could into making this thing work, but
relationships can certainly develop minds of their own once they get going.
Basically, for the past few weeks, you've been taking one step forward and
two steps back. If you're not quite ready to end it, don't worry. It doesn't
matter whether it's a friendship, a romance or a business connection, this
partnership will wait until all conditions are absolutely right.
Pisces
They can certainly try to put one over on you, but it's not going to work.
You've come up with a brand-new approach to life -- 'just the facts, ma'am'
-- and you're eager to try it out. So when someone comes to you for your
opinion, you'll be happy to share it. Just try to be gentle. Today's buffet
of astrological energies could leave you looking a bit more stern and
uncompromising than you really are.
