Horoscopes

Aires-
You have a particularly short fuse today with the Moon in reactionary Aries and might inadvertently turn an unpleasant situation into something worse. Luckily, a little self-awareness will go a long way now, enabling you to avoid an unconscious meltdown over something that isn't as crucial as it may seem in the heat of the moment. If you must express how you feel, at least avoid blaming anyone else for your current problems.

Taurus-
Although you may have to deal with someone whose long-range plans are not in agreement with yours, today you are able to see things from a rather enlightened perspective. Instead of allowing your frustration to boil into an unpleasant exchange, you realize that a current difficulty will eventually work itself out. Naturally, you must remain true to yourself, but relying on your inner strength enables you to put patience ahead of insecurity.

Gemini-
A power struggle that has been brewing for a while might rise to the surface today. You may feel as if someone is working against you behind the scenes, yet no one will come out and say anything in the open. Your best strategy is to remain as optimistic as possible, even if your emotions get bent out of shape. Your natural ability to cleverly sidestep conversations you don't want to have can now work in your favor.

Cancer-
Sometimes your innate tendency to hold on to your unexpressed anger is a real strength, for showing negativity isn't always appropriate. But sometimes you withdraw too easily, resulting in passive-aggressive behavior. Today, pent-up feelings can unexpectedly build to a crescendo and create an emotional eruption if you don't monitor your emotions. Practice being an observer. Don't deny your inner process; instead, share what's going on while also fostering a sense of detachment.

Leo-
From your perspective, the current dilemma isn't likely yours. However, from a cosmic point of view, everyone else is performing roles in your play. Although you are the author of the script, the actors appear unhappy with you. Even if they are a disgruntled lot today, keep bringing the spotlight back to your feelings. Taking full responsibility for your part should help to settle down the erratic emotions that are in the air.

Virgo-
Someone at work may not be very nice to you today, yet it's a good day to bring this energy out into the open. There's no need to be a tattletale, the truth will be revealed with or without your disclosure. But if you do decide to help the process along by exposing someone's inappropriate behavior, be specific and don't use this as an excuse to go overboard. The right words, however, can be very effective and can even heal.

Libra-
The nicer someone is to you today, the more frustrated and uncertain you feel. Trust your instincts if you believe that others are interfering with your progress. But don't do battle with an unknown entity now; shadow boxing isn't the most productive tactic. Wait until more information is revealed before you make your next move.

Scorpio-
Work is complicated today because you wish you could go about your regular duties and just do your job. But powerful feelings are lurking beneath the surface and you're afraid they'll erupt into awareness, where everyone can see your raw vulnerability. Your two key planets, Mars and Pluto, are ready to duke it out now unless you're strong enough to focus on the light instead of the dark. You will be better off digging around in the shadows in a few days, after the intensity settles down.

Sagittariuos-
If it wasn't for a difficult situation that follows you around today, you'd be doing fine. But others in your immediate environment may not be playing fairly and they seem to hover nearby like a black cloud intent on ruining your picnic. You could let fear rule your actions and try to avoid negativity so it doesn't rain on your parade. Or, you could confront the problem directly. Be certain to take the high road in any conversation, for it can make a significant difference in the outcome.

Capricorn-
Ruthless Pluto in your sign battles with feisty Mars today, deeply affecting your personal story. You may have such a strong resolve that you don't even notice the current tension. But your lack of awareness now can have a significant negative impact. Remaining true to your values may be healthy, but only if you are also open to how they differ from someone else's. Confrontation may be inevitable but compromise is key.

Aquarius-
Your energy is somewhat erratic today and if you don't pay close attention, things may quickly go awry. It seems as if your hand is being forced, even if you would rather play your cards according to your own strategy. Be careful, for if you try too hard, everything could get messed up. It may be better to temporarily walk away from the game until the intensity dies down enough for you to manage your feelings more easily.

Pisces-
Getting swept up in some social cause may not be your idea of how to best use your current energy, but it could be an excellent way to blow off some pent-up frustration. If you do take up with a group of like-minded people now, remember that you don't need to stay with them forever. A passion that is a lifelong commitment for someone else might just be a passing phase for you. Still, your journey could nicely mesh with others if you don't resist too strongly.

GOOD LUCK!
