Taking time for yourself need not be a matter of making excuses and overcoming guilt. It is
more than OK to take a break and pamper yourself. Indulge in a private pleasure tonight, such as
watching an old movie while having Chinese take-out.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Making a list of pros and cons enables you to make a difficult decision today. Strictly
following your ideals can get you into trouble. Being caught up in the absolute truth blinds you to
the realities of the relative needs of everyday situations. Theory isn't what is needed now.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are tempted to put in extra hours today to complete a job that isn't really your
responsibility. Try doing a good deed anonymously rather than for brownie points. You must get
away from someone who means well but is very narrow-minded and restrictive of your personal
freedom.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your work is admired by those who know that you do a job well and with great efficiency.
This comes as a surprise to you, since you have been so focused on your own goals that the
attention of others is a bonus. You are missing a gold mine that is in your own backyard.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
When you are revisited by childhood fears, nightmares, or emotionally induced illnesses, it is
time to take a closer look at their roots. The good news is that you can be free of these negative
side effects and get to know and love yourself better in the process.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
As you explore the past and learn more about yourself, you will find that your current
negative habits and compulsions begin to dissolve. You are inspired to take a fresh new interest in
a hobby or interest that has been on the shelf for a while.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Staying on top of a money problem allows you to deal with each aspect of the challenge
instead hiding it and hoping that it will all go away. A misunderstanding with a loved one today
ends in a bitter quarrel. Until it is patched up, take advantage of the benefits of your separation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Taking a personal loss in stride doesn't mean glossing over your reactions. Allowing
yourself to feel a full range of emotions, from rage to denial to grief, means it is more likely that
you will be able to move on unencumbered. Keep confidential information to yourself today.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A dear one takes exception to the amount of time you are putting into your workday
or into a community or school project. Sticking to a reasonable, rational approach while
recognizing the emotions of the other individual keeps you from getting caught up in a dead-end
argument.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your desire for organization and a dependable system or structure may seem to be at
odds with the freedom necessary for creativity and innovation. When you realize that the
framework is designed precisely to allow movement within its confines, you will have attained the
necessary balance.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Following your intuition today in a matter concerning home and family has positive
results. Although you have been working hard to gain experience and skills, those in power want
you to keep doing the same old thing. It may be time to move into a position in which you will
truly be appreciated.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You have been keeping your feelings for someone new to yourself for long enough. This is
the day to express yourself in a careful way so that there is little ambiguity about where you stand.
If you are careless in your speech today, you will offend someone deeply.
