Aries
You've never had a taste for wastefulness, lavishness or excessiveness -- well, not unless it's called for. The point is right now, and for the next two days, you'll be in the mood to do whatever it takes to make your dear ones feel special. And the more emotionally starved you feel they've been, the more willing you'll be to go out of your way to make them feel better.

Taurus
A private matter you've been doing your best to keep under control has just shown the first signs of getting away from you. Does that mean you'll be totally unable to keep the situation where you want it to be? It might -- and that's not a comforting thought for you. But if you let go and let the universe drive the big car, you might be surprised at how well the whole thing turns out.

Gemini
You've never been famous for your willpower, self-restraint or frugality -- especially when it comes to surprising dear ones. Well, you're planning one of those moments now, and you're going to have to decide whether to respect your budget or follow your heart. It's easy to see which would naturally take over, but do at least try to find a happy medium.

Cancer
Don't even think about bowing out on that wonderful adventure a dear one has offered. You know you've earned this, and you know you want to go and play -- and it's about time. So why deny yourself? Get out there and have some fun. You can get back to making peace, restoring balance to troubled situations and negotiating treaties tomorrow. For tonight, promise to enjoy yourself.

Leo
This is a day you won't soon forget. And neither will your lucky companion, who you're determined to spoil beyond belief. The problem is you're after privacy, and they'll want to tell the world what you've done -- which won't appeal to you, not even a little bit. Still, if you make sure you've done the right thing for them, the glare of the spotlight won't scorch quite so badly.

Virgo
Oh, go ahead and indulge yourself. Whatever you've been offered just happens to be exactly what you want -- and you more than deserve it! Why not have some fun doing exactly what you want to do? Okay, it might be a bit over the top, but so what? When was the last time you gave in and had a totally hedonistic evening? If it's been a while, seize this moment.

Libra
You're going to be feeling quite extravagant today. Since you've probably spent quite a bit of time lately trying not to indulge in what you love, you may not want to give in. Remember, though, what they say about all work and no play -- because it's true. It's time to unwind, and you deserve to spoil yourself just a tad. Go ahead. Let yourself have a special treat.

Scorpio
You're not usually this thin-skinned, so even you may be surprised at how easily your feelings are hurt right now -- even though you know darned well that those comments weren't meant to be hurtful. Does this mean you'll automatically overreact, even if someone is just kidding? Not necessarily, but you might want to practice counting to ten -- especially if they could still be a bit cranky over yesterday's goings-on.

Sagittarius
It's finally time to unwind -- and not a moment too soon, either. You've had it with being proper, dutiful and responsible, and you're about to self-medicate. You're prescribing the only remedy that you know will definitely work: putting some serious distance between you and your job -- and anyone who'll want you to take charge of anything more complicated than driving to the movies.

Capricorn
Sensitive? You? No way. Well, maybe a little. It started when you realized you were sniffling at sappy commercials. You'd never, ever admit to it, of course -- but if you're going to be spending any time with that certain someone, you might want to think about it ahead of time. Forget being the alpha person. Let them know you have a great big heart. If one thing's clear, it's that you have nothing else to prove.

Aquarius
You're supposed to be making plans with your friends ... and keeping them, too. Unfortunately for them, you've been less than dutiful. Well, they may let you slide for one more day, especially if they were less than kind to you yesterday. But you'd better make time for them soon. Like tonight. Remember, that's one more day -- no promises about the evening.

Pisces
It's not in your nature to go overboard. Just this once, though, you're feeling like nothing would be too extreme if it would get the point across to your sweetheart -- the point being that you care an awful lot. Still, if you're not careful, you could actually scare that special someone away, the way you've been scared away by other people in the past: by being a bit too eager. Easy now..
