Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • Come from a strong base of knowledge and understanding. You know what is important; someone calls on you to take a stand. You will -- with pleasure. Push comes to shove if you have too much going on. Focus on one item at a time. Tonight: Head home.

  • Taurus
    • Communication opens. You see life from a more renewed, vital perspective. Of course you would, as there is so much on your plate. Your ability to zero in on what is important emerges. Use your ingenuity with problem-solving. Tonight: Fun and games.

  • Gemini
    • Nestle in and make sure you understand what is going on. You have energy and vitality on your side. You have a way of understanding much more than you believed possible. Plusses outweigh minuses. Tonight: Anchor in.

  • Cancer
    • You deal with others directly and with ease. Though communication could be stiff and difficult, you must realize that sometimes opening a door can be hard, if nothing else. Loosen up and share more. Tonight: What would make you smile?

  • Leo
    • Know when to say nothing. Know when to do something. Today, evaluate rather than act. You might want to get your ducks in a row or make sure you actually are heading in the appropriate direction. Tonight: Say what you feel only to a trusted companion.

  • Virgo
    • Investigate and follow through on what needs to happen. You understand much more than others think. Focus on meetings, and zero in on a goal. Do not allow someone's energy to distract you. The time is now. Tonight: In the thick of living.

  • Libra
    • Others take a stand. Professionally, you do make a difference to many. Step up to the plate and take action. No one handles a situation the way you do. Investigate and see which course to take. Explain where you are coming from. Tonight: Burn the candle on both ends.

  • Scorpio
    • Look beyond the obvious. Extract yourself from a situation rather than be a player. You know what you want, but with distance, you will see a situation a lot differently. Zero in on what you want. Tonight: A must appearance.

  • Sagittarius
    • Make working with one other specific person your pleasure. The two of you make one strong and unbeatable team. Trust your abilities and insight. A boss could be angry or difficult if you take a stand. Tonight: Talk over munchies.

  • Capricorn
    • Others are clear. They will do whatever they need to do in order to make a point. You can count on this fact. Relax, and work with others, allowing them to have their head. Sometimes people need to understand the consequences of their reactions. Tonight: So many invitations.

  • Aquarius
    • Emphasize productivity and what you can get done. You might want to ask a partner for some extra help. He or she offers much of what you don't. Lighten up and work with the status quo. Tonight: Easy does it.

  • Pisces
    • Allow your creativity to bubble forth. If you understand what needs to happen, you can find the right path. You have endless resources with your imagination. Tap into it more often -- even when just stating your case. Tonight: Let your hair down.
