Horoscopes

Aries

You might not be very happy about the attitude of a coworker today and may feel the need to confront the issue. You’re not sure if you really want to stir things up so much that you lose your sense of stability, however, instead of turning your world upside down, accept your frustration for a while longer without confronting anyone else.

 

Taurus

You don’t like being pushed into anything too quickly, especially if you feel like you have nowhere you need to go. Your natural tendency is to dig in your heels and hold onto your current position, no matter how forcefully others insist you do something else. Lighten up; being overly stubborn now is not a strategy that will bring you happiness. Instead, pay close attention to what people are telling you. Learning a significant life lesson is more beneficial in the long run than having your own way.

 

Gemini

Narrowing your scope of vision is a very smart idea now, since it’s arguably more crucial to finish your work than it is to have fun. However, saying no may be the most important thing you can do today. This simple act gives you the additional time that you so desperately need to achieve your goals. Stay as focused as possible. Since your full presence in the moment makes a world of difference.

 

Cancer

A social situation might make you feel awkward today because you’re not willing to set aside your internal process in order to have a good time. It’s not that you are negative about anything in particular, it’s just that you don’t want to miss an opportunity to experience an emotion that’s crucial to your growth. Although it may not be a great idea to push your agenda too hard now, saying what’s on your mind goes a long way to alleviate any hidden tension.

 

Leo

It could feel as if you are stepping up to the plate and everyone on the other team is pitching to you simultaneously. Others might crumble under such pressure, but you have the mind of a warrior today. Fortunately, you can remain unflappable as long as your intentions are pure. You’re up for the challenge; pick the incoming toss that you like best and hit it out of the park.

 

Virgo

You’re tempted to hide out today, but reality may not be so forgiving. You have pressing responsibilities that need your attention, and there’s little room for changing your schedule now. However, you can gain a better perspective that ultimately will lead to new options if you take time to listen to your inner thoughts. This self-reflection will enable you to come out of your shell later in the day.

 

Libra

It may feel as if your friends are not being as supportive as usual, which might throw you into an emotional tailspin. The reality is, however, that others are no different today; it’s you that has changed. You expect so much now that no one could possibly fulfill all your needs. Your real work is to transform your attitude without depending on others. It all starts with believing in yourself.

 

Scorpio

Responsibilities weigh heavily on you today, for others expect you to carry more than your fair share. Of course, you take your work seriously and want to perform in an exemplary fashion. However, just because you have things to do doesn’t mean you can’t also have a little fun as long as you don’t flake out on anyone. Taking time to think about your plan in advance enables you to gracefully balance work with play.

 

Sagittarius

A close friend or associate who often supports your ideas may come down hard on you today, but it’s probably not as bad as it seems at first. Thankfully, there could even be a silver lining in the dark cloud and it’s to your advantage to locate it as soon as you can. Whatever you do, don’t spew negativity on the messenger, or you might miss an opportunity to improve your thinking process.

 

Capricorn

You might think that a close friend doesn’t understand what you’re going through now no matter how hard you try to share your true feelings. It may seem as if there is a protective wall around your heart that prevents you from expressing your ideas with the same passion you feel for them. Don’t struggle; patience will work better than anything else today. You’ll likely feel more emotionally connected in a couple of days.

 

Aquarius

Your partner or a coworker may come down on you harshly today, forcing you to examine your own shortcomings. Avoid responding with an overly defensive posture, for that kind of behavior only magnifies your insecurities. Instead, take the feedback to heart and think about what you can do to change for the better.

 

Pisces

Your emotions are a bit tangled today and your current confusion can be a bit disorienting. However, there’s nothing wrong with your analytical abilities. In fact, the source of your problem may be the opposite—arising from your awareness and not from your ignorance. Trust your logic. Be ready to jump right in without hesitating one moment after you have made up your mind.
