Aries
Your family members have a big surprise in store for you -- a very big surprise. Does that mean you should worry about what's coming or head for the hills? Certainly not. Really, your only option is to hold on tight and ride the ride -- which may actually be rather fun. Oh, and when this all goes down, pretend to be surprised.

Taurus
You've been thinking about it for a while, and you're just about sure this is what you want to do. You're ready to forget your job and abandon your routine. You're done, you're over it and you've had it with trying to pretend otherwise. But before you do anything rash, shouldn't you at least talk to an elder who's been there before? Someone who can give you the benefit of experience? Yes, you should.

Gemini
Getting you into the car for a long-distance trip -- or on a bus, a plane or a space shuttle, for that matter -- has never been much of a challenge. But once you've set down roots, you hate to move. Well, prepare yourself, because today's unsettling energy could bring this urge your way. If you've been thinking about a change anyway, take a deep breath and put some of those thoughts down on paper. Anything's possible, right?

Cancer
After days of wondering what to do -- while pretending you have everything under strict control -- you're suddenly ready to admit you don't quite know what to do. Should you let go and buy what you want, or tighten up that belt and leave it alone? You can't do this alone. Ask the advice of a trusted friend, someone who has no agenda.

Leo
You've been worried that you offended someone recently with your verbal enthusiasm. Don't give it a second thought. In fact, expect some crazy energy that will entice you to speak bolder and more directly. You'll likely realize that whatever you were worried about isn't even close to what's going on now. Smile pretty. It might help when those verbal daggers come flying out of your mouth.

Virgo
A productive kind of energy will bring money and possessions to the very front of your mind today. You may need to make a serious decision as a result, but it's one you've seen coming for a while, so not to worry. If you need extra cash, you might also consider taking on a part-time job, maybe even something that involves a hobby. It might actually be fun.

Libra
Get ready for some major changes in your career. But don't worry -- they won't be negative changes, not after all the effort you've put into that department of your life lately. Keep your chin up and see what happens. Oh, and if you need to take one final step to ensure that things go your way, go right ahead. You have every right to seal the success of future endeavors.

Scorpio
Fasten your seatbelt and put your tray-table in the upright position. Some serious turbulence is en route, and bracing yourself before it happens is the only way to get through it. Even if you don't emerge from the experience totally unscathed, you'll definitely be a lot better off than some of your unprepared friends. You can try warning them, by the way, but don't expect them to take you seriously.

Sagittarius
The universe has decided it's time to connect with a whole new peer group -- and they're going to be real kindred spirits. So even if going out and meeting them doesn't actually happen today, the invitation will -- via a new and interesting acquaintance. Don't hesitate and don't worry about hurting the feelings of the folks you're currently hanging out with. The more the merrier, right?

Capricorn
Someone's not happy with one or more of your habits. Your first clue? The all-too-frequent lectures on self-discipline, willpower and just saying no. You'd think they would know you well enough to understand that these tactics don't work well on you -- and if they keep it up, you'll only become more determined to have your way. Just try to find a balance between the wisdom of what they're saying and your own need for independence.

Aquarius
You have every right to use all of your skills -- not just your intelligence -- when working toward a goal. Today's the day to pull out your secret weapon: your brilliant charm! Flash that smile and tell people just how wonderful you think they are. Folks enjoy being recognized for their unique contributions. You know how to boost someone's ego appropriately, without flirtation and manipulation.

Pisces
You've been thinking privately about quitting your job and moving on -- literally, as well -- for some time now. Today's events may seem like the straw that breaks the camel's back. If you've already formulated a battle plan, go ahead and put it into action. If you haven't, don't charge off into the sunset without knowing where you'll end up. Easy, there. Call a close friend and ask for solid, objective advice...
