Aries

It is possible that there could be news of disruptions to communications devices and infrastructure today. Don't assume that you have been forgotten if someone fails to return a phone call, fax, or e-mail. They may have just encountered a technical problem.

Taurus

This is not the time to make a risky investment. You may have heard about an opportunity to make a lot of money fast, but you know what they say about investments that are too too good to be true. Do your due diligence. Seek out an advisor with access to the facts.

Gemini

Other people may seem like they are deliberately getting in your way. But they are really just following their own ambitions and concerns. Try to have some compassion for some one who seems unreasonable or agitated today.

Cancer

Your subconscious mind is playing tricks on you today. Yes you should, no you shouldn't, yes you should ... you can't make up your mind about anything right now. So why knock yourself out over it? If the choice is not a matter of life or death, you can afford to put it off for a bit.

Leo

Only the last-minute intervention of a friend saves you from throwing the Mother of all Temper Tantrums today, and then only barely. You will find yourself wrapped up in emotions that will cry out for expression. In some ways this is a good thing - you need a good, cathartic "holler".

Virgo

This is a good day for planning future attack plans, but not the best day to march into battle. You need a little "time out", some rest and recreation, but your mind remains stuck in the rat race. Your family members need some soft down time together with you.

Libra

Someone is going to ask you to drop everything and come to visit them. They may be unwell in some cases, in which case you must go, but if they are simply bored and lonely, you might help them better in the long run by setting up some way for them to get out on their own.

Scorpio

Financial changes will force changes to an important friendship. You may express some fears about future financial security. An advisor or professional consultant may be able to help you with a plan to turn your financial picture back around.

Sagittarius

A misunderstanding with your lover or partner could centre around your personal or sexual interests. You are a bit "out of phase" with each other today. It is not a good time to explore your deepest, darkest fantasies. Things may not go as you plan.

Capricorn

Expect good news from the significant other, but bad news from the office or workplace today. Your partner may be feeling strongly playful and you could be forced to stay late to work on some boring and pointless paperwork. You will be able to sneak away just in time, though.

Aquarius

You need to get away from it all, and you could find the perfect opportunity by taking the children in your family out together with those of friends and companions for a little time in the sun. The physical activity will be good for everyone.

Pisces

Your family members may be acting a little strangely today, especially if you are one of the "family leaders". Someone has something of an authority figure problem or entitlement complex, and it is up to you to set them straight with some kind but firm guidance.
