Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is going to be a good day for you but only if you decide to share it with your partner.

This piece of advice does not necessarily refer to romantic relationships but mainly to human contact of any kind. It is a good day for you to spend it in the company of someone that makes you grow and to whom you can share your insight on things. Indulge in intellectual conversations today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a great day for you to work real hard and to be very committed to your activities as everything that you are building today will make a great foundation for your plans further on.

Put your efforts in the right places and you won’t be disappointed. Start, complete or deal with small tasks, build brick by brick rather than focus on the whole thing at once.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you might want to stay away from very important decision making or from putting down any important plans.

It is not like you won’t be able to focus, but more because that today you will be inclined to be a lot dreamier and to see things in your unique way. This means that everything will take proportions that are sometimes quite far from reality and you should want to avoid that.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This day will turn your face right to your emotional side and you will spend the vast majority of your time, either dreaming with your eyes open or reminiscing old times.

Maybe that’s for the best. But only as long as you use this melancholic phase to think everything through and understand why you reacted the way you did at a certain point.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It is going to be quite an active time for you, either that you are having a lot on your plate lately or just because you feel this rush of unexpected enthusiasm rolling in.

There will be a lot of communication done this day and since you have enough on your mind you will feel the need to share your thoughts to those around you. Censor yourself when it comes to personal stuff.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It’s best that you take some time this day and have a second thought whenever you feel that you are on the verge of an amazing breakthrough.

It is not like you shouldn’t trust your inspiration, but more like your imagination is quite heightened this day and might lead you on some unrealistic path. Stick with the basics, especially if you are working in exact fields, such as with technology.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel inclined to share your feelings and even emotionally pressure those around you to tell you what they think of you or your actions.

Maybe this is not the best strategy to have today. You should try to get your information from other places, maybe learn new things. Don’t keep your focus on just one thing for too long during this day.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This day you will be able to exert your best thinking, but only when being by yourself. You will be quite irritable when it comes to others interacting with you.

It’s ok to feel the need to isolate yourself if this is a temporary sensation but you shouldn’t be too hard on those dearest to you whom do not understand this tendency of yours. Good time to share a secret also.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This day you will notice that you can think better when in a larger group and that it will be easier for you to focus on more tasks simultaneously than to tackle just one at a time.

This means that this is a great time for ideas to bounce off from you to others and back and it is a great time to start a project. You are willing to leave your comfort zone so take advantage of that.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

There will be little things to truly disturb you from work this day and it seems that will be able to view the whole picture of the task at hand and make decisions that take all details in consideration.

Test yourself and discover your limits as this is a great day to play around with your energy, patience and strength. You better not share any sensible information though.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is going to be a day dedicated to foreign places, be it that you are going somewhere on holiday or with work, you are booking tickets or just reading about a far away place.

There are great auspices for all those that are heading to start studies some place other than home as they will meet just the right people at the right times.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You seem to be quite concerned with hidden meanings so it seems that you will be digging for secrets the whole day.

Maybe you have a hunch that someone is lying to you or it is just your imagination trying to get hold of something odd and spiritual to play with. Make sure you don’t annoy people with your inquisitiveness or ask questions on subjects that are sensible to them.
