> STARS MECCA WOODS

We're encouraged to kick back, relax and find our equilibrium today as we gear up for a new week. Less is more when it comes to what we do and how we do it, rather than stretching ourselves thin.

The day could bring opportunities for fun and socializing if we're feeling up to it.

It's also a great day for indulging in any activity that lifts our spirits and gets the good vibes going. For those of us looking for a little creative inspiration, we could find it in spades.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Your creative fires are lit today when you collaborate or partner with the right person. Find your muse.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

If stuff has been piling up, consider getting rid of it through a garage sale or repurposing items for another use.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

You and your partner (or your best friend) are long overdue for an important conversation. The communication lines are open.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

The focus is on your mental health today, as you're called to take time out to take care of yourself. Asking for what you need from others makes life easier.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

A former romantic interest could resurface, and you could find yourself reliving the good times. Keep expectations light.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

It's time to discuss money with your family or roommates. If there's something you want out of the deal, there's a strong chance that you can get it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Need to get something off your chest? Speak your truth. You don't need to be mean, but you also don't need to mince words either.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Your time is valuable, Scorpio, and it's your choice as to what you do with it. Don't burden yourself with obligations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

You're feeling the pull to shake up your social circle. That said, if you're ready to leave a friendship behind, don't look back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Don't be so quick to rush to work. You have time. Give yourself permission to ease into your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Take time out to reconnect with a long-lost friend. You'll be glad that you did.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

In plotting out your next career move, don't feel pressured to jump at the first opportunity. Something better will come.
