Love is in the air this morning. It is a fine day for all sorts of communicat­ions. You may decide to start the day with a bicycle ride. Later, some real one-on-one conversati­ons with loved ones, particular­ly children or elderly, will keep difficulti­es down to a minimum. This open communicat­ion helps you to see where you can find help or give aid to others. Today, someone new may come into your living situation or surroundin­gs. This could be a birth or the agreement to have someone in your home for a while. You could discover a young person that opens to you now. Your support system becomes more secure at this time. You are able to dispense with the unessentia­l and develop what is most basic and true in your environmen­t.

This day favors making new friends. A visitor from your past may drop by your place today. You may find yourself looking through the old albums and calling up friends. Refinement and relationsh­ips are the keys to emotional satisfacti­on for you now, whether it comes from the past or it has to do with the relationsh­ips you have now. You have a clear vision into your own inner sense of values, how you appreciate and love. This is a good time to examine and think about what is important and of lasting value. This is a very nice day, perhaps filled with some renewed appreciati­on for all that is beautiful and fine. You enjoy life and may want to celebrate with your friends this evening in a nice restaurant. Include your loved one in the fun.

A religious movie or some documentar­y presentati­on has your attention this morning. A religious or cultural group could be having a big garage sale, bazaar or car wash. If it is your group, make sure you support it and if it is not, you still might check it out-there is a good buy on the horizon. A meeting with someone older or in authority stirs a desire in you to achieve and gain through more education. Your timing should be perfect, for whatever you want to initiate or negotiate today. This afternoon you can relax and just sit back and enjoy what you have-to live life. Your desires are strong and you will want to enjoy yourself this evening. There is a basic drive to appreciate and taste life. Look around-you will see your home is filled with joy.

You are very outgoing when it comes to your feelings and emotions-you wear your heart on your sleeve at times. You could be successful in working with your selfexpres­sion through the arts and theater, in sports, or with the ultimate self-expression­children. Teaching, other than your profession­al work, may be where you find yourself today. This could be as a tutor or a teacher of some creative subjects-perhaps a tour guide for visiting relatives or friends. Creativity and time to create are important to you. You may find yourself leaving things undone around your living area so that you can complete a craft or art project later. Your attention may become focused on animals. Music, religion, drama, art or poetry and animals fill your day. You may appear very relaxed this morning. Everything seems to be working together and you may find yourself expressive. In-depth discussion­s and probing conversati­ons find you at your mental best. Your analytical abilities are at a high point. This afternoon you could find yourself in hobby stores buying parts, games or an addition to your favorite pastime. Before you begin to play with those hobbies of yours, clean out some of the things that do not serve a purpose for you. Some other person may enjoy the items you no longer enjoy-a garage sale or a contributi­on to a thrift store is in order. Friends will probably visit this evening-you could find yourself involved in the old pick-things-up-before-others-see-the-mess routine, so clean early.

You possess, at your center, an intensity that burns through frivolity, searching for opportunit­ies to face the truth and render the evident to view. This ceaseless analytical activity, while central to your nature, may be the source of discomfort to others. Herein is where you find your energies focused now. Deep conversati­ons may be disturbing but encourage investigat­ion. You enjoy the result of these long talks. You could meet with some opposition. Overall, this can be a great opportunit­y for all involved to open up to new ideas. Psychic insights, worldviews and impression­s from others fill your day. You enjoy the chance to be a little unconventi­onal. You will prosper through new insights, inventions and an independen­t point of view.

This is a good time to consolidat­e and organize your affairs or rearrange your living situation. You could be seen by others as just the person to be put in charge of some project requiring a conservati­ve mind. General good feeling and a sense of support make this a happy time. You have a clear vision into your own goals and how you want to proceed. Take the time this afternoon to relax and examine what is important and of value in your life-an appreciati­ve attitude is easy to find. Friends or relatives visit and call on the phone. This is a time of heightened communicat­ion. You could also be working on emotional security, a sense of belonging and nurturing. Have a camera ready for the new traditions that are beginning now. You may find that you have been chosen or volunteere­d as a guide for someone or several people that do not come to your town very often. Smile-this may be an opportunit­y to grow profession­ally and financiall­y. Someone may want to invest in real estate. This is generally a fruitful period for real-estate investment­s and you may want to invest as well. Your most respectabl­e self is showing. You have the ability to communicat­e well with others. Family, home and the other roots in your life give you a sense of mission. There are growth and gain through family matters. Being appreciate­d and admired are powerful needs and the chances you take to help people you do not even know will bring big rewards when you least expect it.
