Horoscopes

Aries
- You feel drained and pushed beyond your limits. Know when to say "enough." Be careful in a confusing situation, as you take a very strong stand. You might not be comfortable with what comes up. Tonight: Let others make declarations. You listen.
Taurus
- Changes appear to be surfacing, whether you are ready or not. Consider various scenarios that you might want to see in your domestic life. You might be in a position to make an adjustment soon. Evaluate a recent misunderstanding using a longer-range perspective. Tonight: Order in.
Gemini
- You might want to choose different words, especially as a new perspective will become available. A misunderstanding stems from nowhere, if you are not careful. Eye a purchase with cynicism. You might want to close the door to a relationship. Tonight: In the thick of life and living.
Cancer
- Use extreme care with your finances. What looks good today could be bad news in a month. Avoid putting your John Hancock on anything right now. You might not want to deal with the implications. Do not react or push others. Tonight: Avoid attitude.
Leo
- You might want to do something very different, as what is initiated right now could end before it begins. Keep communication clear with an openness to evaluating ideas that are very different from yours. Tonight: Don't react to high energy. Use it.
Virgo
- The time to keep your own counsel has arrived. The smart person does not share too much just now. Use wisdom for your highest good. More information will be told "confidentially" to you. Tonight: Relax; sleep. Do what you want.
Libra
- Zero in on what you want. A meeting could prove to be beneficial. Knowing when to put a halt to a situation could mean the difference between being a winner or a loser. You understand much more than you know. Just listen to your inner voice. Tonight: In the thick of life.
Scorpio
- Take a stand or handle a boss or authority figure. You will be much happier without questioning someone. This person wants what he or she wants, and you cannot change the direction of his or her will. Tonight: In the action.
Sagittarius
- Take an overview. You might want to rethink a situation when you get news. In fact, you could be up for quite the reversal. Be willing to take a risk. Tonight: Read between the lines.
Capricorn
- Work with an important partner or financial source. You also might feel as if you have no other choice. Be willing to take a stand and handle a loved one or partner directly. Your ability to move a project forward is not surprising. Tonight: Some people do drain you. Still, stop and take time with a needy friend.
Aquarius
- Others dominate. The smart Water Bearer will pull back and rethink his or her decisions, perhaps, but will not make any final statements or issue any ultimatums. Know when enough is enough. Tonight: Say "yes" to living.
Pisces
- Listen to feedback carefully. Understand what is happening with a child or loved one, but also expect to behave in a nurturing manner. Words might be nice, but actions have greater impact. Tonight: Take it easy.
