ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need changes today. You feel the need to have something new and different going on. You make a complete change and may do something that completely contradicts expectations now.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You're extremely sensitive to social restrictions and taboos because they don't suit you. You may seek ways to rebel but since you can't do it overtly, you plan for later or it comes out in small ways.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have a renewed sense of the importance of your personal objectives. You have to fight inertia but once you get going you can change habits and make the appropriate changes to feel fulfilled.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You get a shock when you learn what people think of you. You have cause to start doing things differently when you understand that your motives and the public perception of you are vastly at odds.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For many, there is a breakthrough in understanding in legal, religious or scientific ideas. For some, a sudden trip develops. You generally become aware of new ideas and concepts that had formerly been inconceivable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Something unexpectedly ticks you off today. Monitor your reactions carefully because some personal hang-up can make you lose control. When you react out of all proportion to the stimulus, you know a nerve has been struck.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sudden breakups with partners could indicate that you really need new people in your life; people who fit your ideas and beliefs more closely. Many of you generally start having the courage of their convictions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Outwardly, your life goes on routinely but you feel the urge to make changes and improvements. It's a good idea to try out different things so that improved work flow can result. You want to experiment today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You're extremely inventive today. Your mind goes into overdrive trying to tinker with the existing system. Even when something isn't broke, you're trying to fix it, even in romantic relationships.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are highly aware of how you are prone to repeat bad family patterns and you make efforts to change them. Insofar as you don't change, your behavior tends to be extreme.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You don't take anything for granted today. You want to know reasons and sources. Questioning everything, you are willing to rebuild what you know from the ground up and you are skeptical of authorities.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your finances are in turmoil. You need to get them under control. If wild expenses are indeed what you intend, that's probably OK. If you're being thoughtless and careless, bad results can follow.
These interpretations are based on the aspects and positions of the planets in relation to each sun-sign. They indicate the general mood and issues of the day as you experience them. Be creative in applying your forecast to the actual circumstances of your life.
