Action is important today. Major progress is about to be a made, and you will be a big part of it. You may be the calm in the center of a maelstrom of activity, or you may be the person causing all the excitement. Either way, your role is to help everyone do whatever it is that needs to get done. Make the environment comfortable for everyone, and keep folks thinking positive. Even if you're not out in front calling the shots, you are important -- make no mistake.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Suddenly, it looks as though you've been designated the resident psychic in your social group! Right now, a few of your friends want to know which risk is safest to take, and they are turning to you for your predictions. You probably don't know any more than they do about this gamble, so you should offer up your opinion with that caveat. Make it a joint venture and enjoy letting them temporarily escape the burden of having to make all their own decisions alone.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve right now -- more than you may realize. In this round of the game, what you do next can really influence how high the stakes grow. Everyone is ready to go for broke, and the outcome is totally up to you, so don't be afraid to push things to the limit. For the first time in a long time, you can have it both ways -- so why not try? You will come out on top no matter how you play it.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Quick -- who is your favorite person? If you answered with anything other than a loud, enthusiastic 'me,' you are way off track -- and you need to start giving yourself the affection you deserve. Treat yourself to your favorite meal. Buy yourself a present and ask to have it gift-wrapped, just because! If you don't treat yourself to unexpected gifts every now and again, then who will? Practice receiving gifts, and you'll start receiving more of them.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
When was the last time you had a whole lot of fun? It may sound illogical, but sometimes big fun requires serious, detailed planning. When all the details are ironed out, you're free to relax and enjoy the company of the people you're with -- instead of making endless phone calls to find out where people are, what's taking them so long, and how on earth they could have forgotten that tonight was the night.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
No matter what types of negative feelings you have for another person, today you will have to do some forgiving and forgetting -- at least temporarily. In order for something important to happen, you're going to have to be the bigger person. Take a broad view of the situation today. Act altruistically (even if other people will not appreciate your efforts). Soon enough, you will be rewarded for this.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
Even very smart people can do incredibly stupid things once in a while. So today, when you see an intelligent person turn into an idiot right before your eyes, you should trust the evidence of your senses -- not what someone else says you should believe. Anything is possible, so pick your jaw up off the floor and carry on. Don't mock this person or make a big deal out of her or his all-too-human error.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
With a little extra cash in your pocket, you will feel a lot more spring in your step -- and keep in mind that the longer you have the money, the longer you'll enjoy this feeling. So you might want to resist making an impulse buy, because once you spend that money, you will lose that feeling. Money is always powerful, but right now it can affect your mood and life situation a lot more profoundly than you think. Save it as long as you can. You'll need it soon.
Sagittarius - November 22-December 21
You know that salty complements sweet, and that peanut butter complements chocolate -- but it's also true that sadness complements happiness. So if you haven't been experiencing as much joy as you would like lately, take solace in the fact that this blue period -- which will end soon -- is teaching you how to appreciate the brighter days of your life. Pay attention to what you learn today.
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
Have you ever had one of those dreams in which you're trying to run fast but you can barely inch your way slowly forward? Today might feel a bit like that -- frustrating and limiting, but also somewhat interesting. It's not clear what's impeding your progress, and identifying these obstacles is actually not all that important right now. You have something to learn from this struggle -- keep trying to run faster.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Old video footage of hippies communing in the park might make you giggle a little, but when you stop to think about it, don't you and your group of people enjoy doing the same thing? Take away the long hair and goofy clothes, and you're really not so different from them -- you all just want everyone to get along and be happy. Try to get with your friends and family today and make that happen. It won't be hard to have your own special love-in.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Your words will have more power than usual today -- so take time to think before you speak. It's one thing to get caught up in an enthusiastic conversation and say something silly, but it is quite another thing to say something you'll later regret. As you might recall from past slips of the tongue, the taste of shoe leather is not an easy one to get out of your mouth. Play it safe -- if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
A court has ordered Kuwaiti daily Al Watan to close for three days for publishing "indecent" photos of Saddam Hussein's granddaughter. Al Watan's lawyer said it only wanted to show that Saddam's family was having fun at swimming pools while he was on trial.
