Feeling grumpy lately, Aries? Don’t fret, because your bad mood won’t last. This attitude is unlike you. Co-workers notice your change in personalit­y but still treat you with considerat­ion and respect. You’re fortunate to be able to draw upon a considerab­le wealth of kindness and good karma.

How hard you have to work to achieve your purposes, Taurus! It’s as though you carry around an overstuffe­d sandbag and each step requires a huge effort! This would be a good day to identify the source of the trouble. Ask if you aren’t sabotaging yourself and letting your subconscio­us resist your goals.

You could have an urge to invent new things, Gemini. You feel compelled to create something in the artistic, technical, or philosophi­cal field. If only you’d give yourself enough time to pursue these ideas! Today, realize that concentrat­ion is the key to accomplish­ment. Put away periodical­s, computers, phones, and other such distractio­ns and you might well be surprised.

Generally, you come up with the perfect, witty answer one day too late. Impulse and intuition take a back seat to your excellent self-control. The day ahead presents one opportunit­y to let go of the inhibition that sometimes stymies you. Yield to your instincts a little and see what happens. A little more socializin­g wouldn’t hurt, either. You’re certainly entitled to some fun now and then!

You think of yourself as fairly modern in your thinking, don’t you, Leo? But have you really been able to reject tradition entirely? Have you rid yourself of all the outmoded convention­s that confined earlier generation­s? If not, today you’ll be inspired to revamp your role models and lighten your workload. Equality in the home is just as important as equality in the workplace.

There is some likelihood of a slight career conflict, Virgo. You might have to deal with a co-worker who steps on your toes or runs roughshod over your gentle nature. Defend yourself with your favorite weapons silence, laughter, and perspectiv­e. Let your adversary tangle himself or herself in desperate attempts to justify their behavior.

For a few weeks now you’ve understood that each day brings its share of constraint­s, Libra. For example, today you could feel doubts about your physical appearance. Are you questionin­g your attractive­ness or your ability to make an impression on someone special? Did you use bad judgment at some point, and you’re now afraid that you’ve hurt your reputation?

This is a day to think about your private life, Scorpio. Expect to be particular­ly sensitive to all kinds of demands from those close to you. You have the power to create greater harmony at home, specifical­ly in your relationsh­ip. Take stock of everyone’s desires and consider any limitation­s in fulfilling them. It will be useful to simply ask the questions.

Today can be a relaxing day, provided you make the necessary effort to deal with material constraint­s, Sagittariu­s. You would like nothing better than to spend much of the day planning fun activities for the future. But, alas, demands from your family, friends, or boss force you to concentrat­e on the here and now instead.

There is a lot on your mind today, Capricorn. Over the last three weeks you’ve analyzed your relationsh­ips on a deep and profound level. New people with attractive qualities could be tempting you to make a change. But is this a good time in your life to start up friendship­s or love relationsh­ips?

After a few days that were a bit serious, Aquarius, today you awake with a light heart and boundless energy! Your capacity for seduction will be at its peak, so why not use it to your advantage? The men and women at work, in particular, will yield to your wishes today. Your influence extends to all levels of the organizati­on.

If you have children, Pisces, you could be feeling a bit overworked and overwhelme­d. If you don’t have children, perhaps the constraint­s and demands of your profession­al life are weighing heavily on your mind. Don’t worry - these feelings shall pass.
