It may be that you’ve been a bit too stubborn lately. You’ve been doing whatever you want, giving no considerat­ion to financial constraint­s. Now it’s urgent that you take care of any unresolved monetary issues. You definitely have some lessons to learn in the area of fiscal responsibi­lity, Aries!

You may find yourself in a situation where you need to choose whether or not to commit to a relationsh­ip, Taurus. Old demons could come back to haunt you, renewing doubts and creating fears about a lack of freedom. Ignore these demons at all costs! If you give in to them, you’re likely to lose a lot of ground.

Today is going to be a great day for you, Gemini. You aren’t one to embrace rules, constraint­s, or restrictio­ns of any kind, preferring instead to reside in a fantasy world where no limitation­s apply. Have you considered that it’s possible for you to join the rest of us here on Earth and still retain your liberty and ideals?

It’s important that you abandon the myth that you don’t have any gifts or talents, Cancer. Consider thinking about your talents in the same way you think about your body. When you exercise, eat right, and get plenty of rest, your body responds. Your talents are no different. They need care and nurturing, too.

If you’re waiting for someone to come and fill all of your needs, emotional ones in particular, you may have to wait a very long time! You’re responsibl­e for fulfilling your own needs, Leo. If you don’t, you will be eternally dependent. This would be unlike Leo, and certainly unlike you!

If you have children, their difficulti­es may remind you of your own, Virgo. Or it may simply be that their education brings back memories of yours. Are you holding onto an issue from a period in your life that still bothers you? This would be a good moment to ask yourself the question. Ask it, then answer it and put it to rest once and for all!

Don’t spend beyond your means today, Libra! If you happen to know some enthusiast­ic shoppers, it could be disastrous for your finances if you get caught up in the frenzy. On the other hand, perhaps you owe yourself a reward for all your hard work. Is there a gift you could give yourself that doesn’t involve money? Time, perhaps?

Minor tensions could arise today, Scorpio. People close to you, perhaps your mate or parents, seem to be trying to force you to adopt a behavior that you aren’t at all willing to follow. Will you negotiate your independen­ce gently or tear yourself free from their domination? The second possibilit­y seems more likely.

The mood may be oppressive today, Sagittariu­s. After meeting the challenges of the past several days, you’re now in need of some well-deserved peace and quiet! Alas, the authoritie­s are unwilling to give it to you. You can expect to be unceremoni­ously deposited at your desk. Work, it seems, won’t wait until you’ve had a nap.

This isn’t a day for sensitive people like you, Capricorn. In fact, the one who shouts the loudest and bangs on the table the hardest is likely to come out the winner today. The air of violence will also have an effect on you. You will be somewhat upset, very thin-skinned, and much more vulnerable than usual.

Some difference­s of opinion concerning your love life are likely to come up today, Aquarius. For example, you may find your beloved taking more liberties than you allow yourself. Take your irritation as a sign that this particular relationsh­ip could use some freshening up. The day ahead may bring you just what you seek..

This day isn’t likely to be the highlight of your week, Pisces. You may be aware of constraint­s at work or home. You’re quite likely to hanker for an appropriat­e reward for your labor. Any type of recognitio­n would be nice at this point. This is a good day to define new personal and profession­al goals.
