Aries
When dealing with other people today, listen to their ranting and raving with an open mind. Not everyone around you will be able to agree on the right way to go about doing things -- luckily you should find all this bickering quite amusing! Let them vent their frustrations without offering up your own opinion. Amid all the griping, you might find a creative solution to a vexing issue. Aren't you glad you stuck around for this?

Taurus
Rules are made to be broken; everyone knows that. Consider putting your policy of not dating coworkers on the shelf for a bit. Someone interesting is in your cluster of cubicles and the two of you can't keep you eyes off each other. Just lay down some ground rules before you hop in the sack. You want to have a framework to operate within if things go south. After all, you had this job first -- and you're keeping it.

Gemini
It can either go two ways for you right now, romantically speaking. An existing relationship will become far more intimate or a new relationship will take off like a speeding train. Either way, you'll have to excuse the rest of the world and sneak off to your little love shack. Don't worry, everything will still be here when you emerge next week or whenever.

Cancer
If you really want to be different, why not put your credit cards and your checkbook away, and breathe new life into a garment or accessory you already own? You're always in the mood to shop -- but are you ever in the mood to create something new? Instead of making more debt, why not explore ways to stabilize your financial future. Invest in some raw materials. You might end up with a profitable part-time business.

Leo
You need a change of scenery. Sitting still has always been a challenge for you. But at the moment, it's going to basically impossible. Why fight it? Get out there and mix it up. Someone special would like to spend some quality time with you right now. Whether it's an old friend, a new flame or a long-neglected family member, share yourself with someone you adore. They'll appreciate the gesture and you'll increase your cosmic connection with this person.

Virgo
You're totally engrossed in your work, and that's how it should be. But a certain authority figure has been on your mind lately too, and your thoughts are anything but professional. A crush on the boss? Is the feeling mutual? Perhaps! Tread carefully. Before you start planning your wedding and considering the names of your children, ponder this: Are you ready to lose your job over this fling? If you don't care, by all means go for it!

Libra
More than anything right now, you're enjoying the intimacy you've allowed yourself to give and receive. Your favorite peeps have confided in you, and you've shared your own secrets with them, too. It's not the intrigue that has you so mesmerized -- not exactly. Although, honestly, that does appeal to you. What you really love is the closeness that opening up your heart
brings.

Scorpio
You definitely have a way with words -- but today's astrological additives will magnify your verbal dexterity tenfold. If you you've been meaning to make amends, reveal a secret or just get something off your chest, well clear your throat and start talking. It couldn't be a better time to set yourself up for success -- you'll triumph in all your communicative endeavors.

Sagittarius
You've been carrying on this behind-the-scenes infatuation for far too long -- it's time to get this show on the road. So treat yourself to romance, extravagance, and nothing but the best, especially when it comes to enchanting someone into your lair. That's your mission, and no one needs to ask you if you're willing to accept it. You're ready and raring to go!

Capricorn
Too much is going on, and you'll miss out on some exciting stuff if you're not careful! You've been cruising along in the fast lane lately, but today you might want to put on the blinker and ease over to slower traffic. Sometimes it's nice to downshift, get off the main highway and take a more leisurely route to your destination. The landscape is lovely in your life right now -- why not take a longer look and invite a passenger along for the ride?

Aquarius
Your reputation is your top concern right now, so tend to it with a little TLC. Avoid being seen in the wrong places with the wrong people, at least for the time being. Make sure you come off in a good light. Attention to detail is more important than ever, so reread your professional communiqu? at least twice and don't underdress for any occasion. Make sure you're polished and smooth at all times -- you never know when the VIPs are watching you.

Pisces
Everything will go so well if everyone cooperates today -- and they will mostly. Except, of course, for a few diehards. Just ignore those folks. No matter how you shake it, today is a great day to be you. It'll be an even better day if that certain special someone you've been obsessed with somehow materializes in the process. Ah -- you've never had it so good!
