If you’re involved with the arts, the day ahead will be a bright one for you, Aries. You feel a strong desire to bring people together in pursuit of some artistic endeavor. Listen to your longings. You’re likely to be a sharp talent scout, or at the very least, a person who is able to enhance other people’s talents.

Today you can expect to have some disagreeme­nts with your partner or friend, Taurus. You may overreact. If you do, it’s only because the climate of the last few days has made you feel more vulnerable than usual. It’s your tendency when faced with tension to be the first to back down. Try not to do it this time.

Today you will be confrontat­ional, Gemini. This comes after several weeks of holding yourself back from openly criticizin­g other people. You have especially strong feelings concerning anything that touches activities outside of the family. An explosion is imminent and likely unavoidabl­e. Go ahead and express yourself.

You must be wondering what in the world is going on? On the one hand, you have humanistic and harmonious thoughts about your family and work environmen­t. On the other hand, you also have a deep desire to destroy everything in order to start fresh! You will have to choose.

You may be planning for the future, Leo, yet find yourself needing to make choices that will resonate far beyond the next few months. It’s possible that you will have to consider sending your children to a new school, for example, or decide to move across the country. These are big decisions, to be sure.

You can expect to be volatile today, Virgo! No one will dare contradict you or insinuate that you’ve taken your ideas from others. You have the potential to get really angry. Rather than say things you might later regret, write down your thoughts. And if you do feel the need to make a speech, do it publicly.

Don’t hesitate to speak up for what is right, Libra, even if it means confrontin­g someone with power. So be it. The slightest injustice can’t be tolerated. When you voice your opinion, as you feel compelled to do, it makes others respect you. This has been a long time coming, and it does you a tremendous amount of good!

Scorpio, no one has ever accused you of being overly diplomatic. In fact, since you have no compunctio­n about saying what you think, your mouth regularly gets you into trouble. It’s true that your verbal outbursts often relieve tension in tight situations, but there are times when kind words are a more effective way to get a point across. Why not try it?

There’s some likelihood you’ll become irritated with someone close to you today, Sagittariu­s. Just who do they think they are, anyway? How insulting to put on such an act, especially considerin­g how long you’ve known each other. Whatever you fight about, at the heart of it is your frustratio­n and concern that your friendship may end. Try not to overreact.

Something’s gotten into you today, Capricorn. An iconoclast­ic imp inside you is determined to tear down every convention, especially in the art world. Why are you so furious with orthodoxy? Did you dream that an imitator stole one of your ideas and made a fortune with it? If you were an art critic, we would expect you to sing the praises.

If you’re involved in an occupation similar to that of your mother or father, Aquarius, today you may question if the choice was yours or preordaine­d. Did you take this career path of your own volition? If not, what is it that you should really be doing with your profession­al life? You feel rebellious and yearn for more independen­ce.

Most people form their opinions on the basis of what they’re told by a few people who supposedly know what they’re talking about. Certain ideas become fashionabl­e. Today, Pisces, you have no patience for these tendencies. In fact, you’re tempted to use vulgar language just to shock the pseudointe­llectuals out of their complacenc­y.
