Aries: Contact with a lot of friends may take place today. Invitations to social events could come your way. Your relationship with your friends is congenial. You could be introduced to new friends. Some of the people you meet could be from distant states or foreign lands or involved in unusual occupations. This could prove an exciting, stimulating day.

Taurus: Today's intense celestial energy will help you make progress toward your goals. Your mind will be quick and receptive and your writing and speaking abilities especially acute.

Gemini: Your creative impulse should be high today. You might decide to try some writing. You may have a particular subject in mind to write about. You could also take a class in a subject that interests you, or do a little research on your own. You might consider some long-distance travel for pleasure as much as for learning. The sky's the limit.

Cancer: Intense, vivid dreams spark your mental processes. You could wake up wondering why you dreamed what you did and what it has to do with what's going on in your life. Dream books can be helpful. What do the symbols mean to you? The symbols, or even the story itself, could set in motion a mental chain of events resulting in a new project of some kind. Make the most of it!

Leo: A phone call from a partner could have you suddenly playing the role of salesperson. You might have a project you want to pitch, you might need to sell your way of doing something, or you might actually have to sell a product. Whichever it is, you're likely to succeed. You're especially quick and expressive today. Your powers of persuasion are high.

Virgo: Money and creativity are successfully joined today. You might make money from a completed project, or you could receive some money to finance a project. Others might share in your efforts, but you're the mind behind the whole thing. Your intellectual powers are particularly strong. You're better than usual at expressing your ideas.

Libra: Today you're likely to be especially sharp. Your intellectual powers are operating at a high level. A wealth of new ideas may come to you from all sides, without and within. You're more talkative than usual and want to share your ideas with others. Optimism and enthusiasm define you today.

Scorpio: You may feel inspired to make certain changes in your home. Your imagination is especially acute, so it's easy to visualize how the rooms will look afterwards. You could seek others' opinions, too. Now you need to sell your family on the idea. Don't worry - you can do it. Your persuasive powers are at an all-time high.

Sagittarius: You may want to take a more judicious approach to your shopping sprees. Try spending the afternoon looking and trying on but not buying. That way, you'll have time to reflect on whether or not you really want and need the items. This could help cut out a lot of impulse spending. Your wallet will be fatter and happier.

Capricorn: Today you have a quick intellect and intensified persuasive powers. Acute mental powers are joined with personal power to bring about career and financial success.

Pisces: If you've been considering writing or teaching, today is the day to get started. Your imagination is intense, you're inspired, and your way with words is sharper than usual.
