It’s still okay to be proud. Pride can help define who you are. Don’t become stuck up, though. Don’t delude or spoil yourself. Maybe there’s no one exactly like you, but that doesn’t make you better than everyone else. Today could easily rob you of what you so vainly possess, if you go around challenging other people’s pride. Watch out. Don’t confuse the present with the past. Stop reacting to things that happened long ago. Keep your personal history in its box and keep your senses in the moment.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You’re a dynamic presence but a casual player, and that’s exactly how it should be. Because why waste any of this good energy on stupid formalities when you could be thinking outside the box and capturing a much bigger audience? Yes, you might be having the time of your life with whatever it is you do best, but you ought to have a plan for locking it into your future, too. So if you want to get things started, put your effort where it will matter today.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

You’ve always had a special connection with the past and taken the teachings of tradition to heart. The old ways still impress sentimental you, especially now, as past lessons come back to you. Now, more than ever, you understand why you live by the values and routines you do. In some meaningful way, things you’ve always taken for granted now come true, and you’re able to wow everyone with all the things they’ve forgotten in their own lives and hearts. Later, it’ll be on to something new again, including testing the boundaries.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Once it was an act of courage to stand alone. All of a sudden, independence is elegant and sexy. Hey, personal freedom is the new black! It looks good on everyone. Do what you want, go wherever you feel like going, and let others think what they will. But even as you cultivate that air of mystery, don’t isolate yourself. You can’t keep them guessing forever. Today is bristling with possibilities, and if you hope to rub up against some of these things, you need to make yourself available. You could start something, and then nothing could stop you.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Take today off for some mental hygiene. You’ve been really pushing forward on something — but now it’s time to take a little breather. Let your iron cool off for a couple of days, and limit yourself to thinking and doing only what comes easily. You deserve a break, Virgo, and your whole life will benefit from your refreshed perspective. In a few days, you can jump back into the fray and really get something accomplished.

Libra

September 23-October 22

High spirits will lead you on. Solid beliefs will keep your head from getting too far ahead of your feet. Can you see the balance and symmetry of it all? Also notice that your goal will start looking a lot closer today. As much as you approve of how you’re doing now, don’t let your ambitions and desires eclipse your friendships. Your companions are part of this whole adventure, too, and they deserve their share of the light and heat you’ll be putting out. Success is always sweeter when you can share it.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Today you’ll be skeptical and impatient. You’ll try to get a laugh at other people’s expense, and it’ll just make things even worse if you end up laughing alone. You’ll try to guide development and growth with an iron hand, making rules no one else ever heard of. Forget that — it won’t work. Even if you wrapped it in a velvet glove, you’d still have a hard sell. Bottom line? Brute force isn’t an option no matter how you dress it up. Try compromise instead.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

You’re in charge today. Why? Because everyone’s responding to your high spirits and broad-minded outlook. They all want a piece of what you seem to represent, and boy, do you make it look attractive. Watch, though, that no one takes you for granted. If someone tries to take advantage of the fact that you’re so ready for anything, simply take a moment to redraw your boundaries. You have a knack for it today, Sagittarius, and you can do it in a lighthearted way that offends no one.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Everyone knows how smart you are, so don’t think you need to prove it all over again by being pigheaded about your point of view. Getting stuck in one perspective won’t help anyone, and you could look like a snob to people you like and respect. Isn’t it better to agree to disagree, at least today? You know other people’s ideas are just as valid as your own. Take some time to keep reviewing the facts and going over your options. You can make figuring things out a team effort.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You’re in an unusual mood, aren’t you? Pepped up, zingy — maybe even a little romantic. You know how to charm both your admirers and your admire-ees. But making people laugh isn’t enough, even if you bring every ounce of your creativity to your stories — and even if you enjoy being centre stage, for once. Don’t you want to go a little deeper than that? Pursue a real connection, whether it’s a romantic connection or just an intimate bond with someone you deeply love. Don’t stay surface-level – you’ll short-change yourself.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

If you do things in a slapdash way, you’re inviting interference, and that’s a good thing to remember today. After all, other people aren’t really acting out of pity. Maybe they have their own agendas, or maybe they aren’t seeing things correctly. Either way, any local mistakes could easily have global consequences. You’re all too aware of that fact — still, don’t let anxiety affect your health. Relax, take deep breaths, and trust your instincts. They’ve always been a good navigation system, and once again they’ll guide you through this tricky period.

Why are you so stubbornly retro? Clearly the style of some previous period is capturing your imagination. Whatever it is you’re wearing or carrying around, it’ll look good on you for today. Then what? Time marches on, wishes and demands change, and people will start judging old books by their covers. No, you don’t have to give up what you love. But you might also benefit from having something more current in your life, too. Why not belong to a few different eras? And still be relevant today?

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Forget about your dignity today. It doesn’t matter who’s watching or what they might say. Let your frisky side take over. Let your inner puppy or kitten come romping out that open door. Roll in the grass, the surf or the hay if it so pleases you. Flirt with an attractive stranger if it feels appropriate. It’s all in fun, and it doesn’t have to disrupt your organized life in any long-term way. Of course, if you wanted that kind of disruption, this would certainly be your moment.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

No matter what’s going on today, honesty is still the best policy. Of course, you can use your innate compassion to soften the blow, especially if you have to reveal a harsh truth to a friend. Be as upfront as you can. By telling the truth, you’ll protect your integrity, which is very important now. Later, a little exaggeration will be just fine. But for now, stick to the facts and nothing but. You’ll be glad you didn’t fudge even the tiniest detail.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Are you aware of what you can do when you put your mind and your back into it? If not, you’re about to find out. Bring your determination and concentration online until your world is humming with constant power. Focus all that energy on your objective today, whether you’re trying to break a world record, win somebody’s doubting heart or make your first million. Why can’t you do all this and more? You feel like laughing in the face of the impossible. You know you’re right, and you’ll prove it, too.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

For now, you’re taking success and failure with equal humility. You know you’ve done some things well and others not so well, and you’re looking forward to the chance to take a step back and see how you’re doing. This is a great time to ask for assistance or feedback from a friend or colleague. It’s a good idea to give your critics a warm welcome today. Does it make it easier if you know they’ll love you no matter what? Because they will.

Libra

September 23-October 22

You’ll be easy on the eyes today. Your signal will be strong, and your song will be sweet and on key. Be glad you don’t have to work so hard on appearances or fine tune the audio, just in case you were worrying. Turn your attention to more pressing matters. Start pushing back at whatever is closing in on you. The good news is that you’re still a long way from being trapped. And if you start your push early enough, you’ll have fun and get some exercise, too.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Maybe it’s all a big show-and-tell for you, but there’s such a thing as too much information. Keep all your drama onstage today. Shroud your personal life in the kind of modesty that deflects attention instead of the kind of mystery that begs other people to snoop around in curiosity. You’d just have to brush them off when they got too close for comfort. They’d think you were going back on your invitation, and there would be chaos and bad feelings. Make things easier for yourself, not harder. Know when to remain silent.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Pure happiness shifts into utter joy. The world seems like exactly the right place to be, and you’re at the center of it, dancing to your very own melody and simply enjoying life. Today you’re a superior being — not in the sense that you’re above other people, but that you’re tuned in to your own inner light. You’re at your best and brightest now, and you can illuminate the world around you. You may even find you have followers — people who admire your enlightened movements and want to follow your lead.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

A project you’ve been working on feels a little off. You’re almost there, but something’s missing, and you can’t quite put your finger on it. There are a couple of ways you can handle this. You could let your inner nervousness build as you act aloof and cranky while you try to figure it out yourself. Or you could stay calm and ask for help. There’s got to be an ally who can help you out, even with just a bit of fresh perspective. Ask and see.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Deep friendship comes naturally to you, though sometimes you’re too much in your head to express your sentiments. Today, your warmth comes out, and your favorite people know exactly how dedicated you are. If the world seems a little cold and cruel, don’t worry. Go ahead and put up your guard if you have to. Still, it would be better to give in to the strange, romantic energy and do away with being guarded altogether. Someone loves you a lot, and you can let them know you return the feeling.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Suddenly, it’s as if the world has turned into chaos. At work, directions and responsibilities become overwhelming, and you just want to hide. At home, things may not be much better. If you’re romantically involved, expect today to be confusing at best. You’re feeling pessimistic and disorganized, which only makes things worse. Still, it’s just your way of rebelling. This mood will pass, Pisces — it always does. But try not to bury your head in the sand. Leaving your projects and relationships unattended could cause problems later.
