If you’re feeling irritable and wrung out today, Aries, it may be a result of putting far too much pressure on yourself. It might be wise to take a look at the expectatio­ns you have of yourself. Consider if you would you place the same demands on those closest to you.

Consider whether or not you’re spending enough time with everyone who’s special to you, Taurus. If more hours are going to work colleagues, friends, or partner, there might be an imbalance that you need to look at. Sit down and create a chart of where your time has gone lately.

If your partner acts quickly on his or her passions today, Gemini, you will probably want to slow things down a bit. “Nice and easy” is the phrase of the day for you, so create an environmen­t that will allow for more time in such circumstan­ces.

Consider planning a romantic interlude, Cancer. With the influence from today’s planetary aspects, it will be easy to connect with that special someone. Make dinner with your spouse or partner or make a date with someone new who’s caught your eye.

If someone takes too long to do something today, Leo, your temper may flare up. Patience isn’t always your strong suit, and you may believe in the “if you want it done right, do it yourself” philosophy. This isn’t always fair. Others need to do things at their own pace, and in some cases.

You might find it rather tough to take criticism today, Virgo. This is something that’s hard for many to hear, but it truly depends on your perspectiv­e. Rather than view it as a personal attack, try to see the value in the criticism.

Be careful not to fall prey to your own idealism today, Libra. While this is one of your most admirable qualities, as it contribute­s to your romantic, creative nature, too much of anything can be harmful. It’s important to see things as they are, despite how much you may wish them to be different.

Don’t be surprised if you feel a real need for some breathing room today, Scorpio. As much as you enjoy the company of others, you need to have time to yourself as well. See if you can work in a private space or simply shut your door.

If things haven’t been going too well with those you spend most of your time with, Sagittariu­s, it might be time to consider your expectatio­ns of them. Ask what kinds of demands you place on others and if they’re fair.

A little romantic time with your special someone may be in order today, Capricorn. With the day-to-day chaos of working and living, it can be tough to get some quality time alone. If you don’t make specific plans, it can be months before this happens. Take the situation in hand and make those plans.

Take it slow and easy today, Aquarius. With the energy from the day’s aspects, rushing around isn’t likely to get you too far. In fact, you’re more apt to make mistakes or leave a bunch of things unfinished. Make your to-do list and go about each thing one at a time at an even pace.

It may be time to look at where you are in life, Pisces. Are you where you thought you’d be? If so, congratula­tions. This is a real accomplish­ment. If not, take heart. Many people discover that they aren’t anywhere close.
