ArIes
(March 21 - April 20) : Sticks and
stones may break your bones, but
names will never hurt you, Aries. The
problem with today's energy is that there just may be
some sticks and stones tossed in your direction. Be on
the lookout for such airborne adversity. Powerful
forces are operating with emotional aggression. War
can break out if you aren't careful. Try to maintain the
peace. You may need to seek shelter.
TAUrUs
(April 21 - May 21) : Emotionally
speaking, things might get tense for you
today as others demonstrate a rather
selfish attitude, Taurus. Remember that selfishness isn't
always considered negative. Sometimes it's healthy and
necessary to take on a self-centered role. Remember
that you need to take care of number one at all times.
Don't try to pick a fight when other people also
demonstrate this behavior.
GeMINI
(May 22 - June 21) : You might
be quite stirred by the general
energy today, Gemini. "Stirred"
may be too light a word. Put on your armor and
get ready to do battle. Others may cower when
they see what's going on outside, but you will
want to jump into the fray. Strong emotions are
the weapons of the day. Everyone knows that you
have a strong arsenal in this department.
cANcer
(June 22 - July 23) : Move in
for the kill today, Cancer. Don't
stop until you succeed. Don't let
other people's insecurities become yours. Have
confidence in yourself and the way you act
around others. Just because someone else feels
sad, that doesn't mean you have to just to make
him or her feel better. The best thing you can do
is turn the situation around by exhibiting
happiness and a fun-loving attitude.
Leo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): Now is the
perfect time to say something you've
been meaning to say for quite a while,
Leo. Get it out in the open. Keeping it inside is only
eating away at your internal mechanisms. Stop
worrying about the consequences and make the
move. Today is a day to be bold and aggressive. Other
people might respond similarly, so if you dish it out,
be sure you can take it.
VIrGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): Your opinions
might be the focus of conversation all
day, Virgo. You have a very strong
will that you aren't afraid to express. You will get
that chance. Enlighten others with your wealth of
knowledge. Take control of the conversation and
accept the mental challenge of trying to win other
people over to your side. Whether you're successful
or not, you will have a good time trying.
LIBrA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Your sensitive
heart may be touched by anger today,
Libra. Don't be afraid of hurting other
people's feelings as you express this emotion. You'd
be doing yourself and other people a disservice by not
revealing the true scope of your emotions. The other
parties involved may not have all the facts necessary
to make the most educated decision. Aid this process
by revealing your perspective.
scorpIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): You might
feel a great deal of physical
power today, Scorpio. If
someone asks you to help move a couch,
you're likely to be able to pick the whole thing
up by yourself. Don't sell yourself short. You
have more internal strength than you reveal
to others. There's no need to hide it any
longer. Make use of this great power.
sAGITTArIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): The train is
headed out, so you'd better hop on,
Sagittarius. People won't be too
sympathetic to your emotional sob story today, so
keep it quiet. Whining will most certainly get you
kicked off the train altogether. The energy of today is
teaching you to toughen up. Don't take it personally,
but realize that there are important lessons to learn.
One is to know when to be silent and obedient.
cAprIcorN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): Jump into
action with energy today,
Capricorn. Order others around
and delegate tasks for a change. An aggressive
approach is what's needed, and you have the
ability to deliver the goods. Trying to do
everything yourself may seem like a great idea at
first, but you're better off enlisting help so others
can feel more involved and you can concentrate
on doing a better job on fewer tasks.
AQUArIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : Guard your
heart well today, Aquarius. It's a
prime target for the abrasive words
being tossed around. Your sensitivity leaves you
feeling alone and naked in the harsh atmosphere.
You might be better off staying in bed. If you
decide to go out, be prepared. Know your
weaknesses so you can use your energy resources
most efficiently.
pIsces
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : A position
involving power and authority is
opening up, and you're the perfect
one for the job, Pisces. Today's astrological aspect
is helping you find the necessary confidence and
physical strength. You have the emotional and
physical boost you need to feel good about your
leadership abilities. This is a time to take control
of the situation.
