What your Zodiac sign says today

Aries: If you experience resistance or frustration in a certain area, you should take this as a sign that you should follow a new route. Things should flow smoothly and easily. This is one of those days in which reality is going to conflict harshly with fantasy, especially if you don't have them well separated in your mind. Enjoy your imaginary world, but deal with the practical world, too.

Taurus: Indulge your sensual nature today. This part of your being doesn't get expressed regularly. Go for a long walk with someone you love. Light some candles in your bedroom or take a leisurely hot bath. Tastes and smells are extra potent for you now. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two. Don't get so caught up in the intellectual aspect of things that you forget about the sensuous side of life.

Gemini: You may experience some push and pull today. One minute you feel like you should sit back and wait for things to go your way, and the next you feel a stick poking you to get moving. Life is a delicate balance of incorporating these two modes of operation. Neither way is more correct, so recognize and honor both.

Cancer: You may experience some raw emotions today, which you should use as your ally instead of your enemy. Your heart may feel rather abused, so do what you can to gently care for it. Be careful of letting others get too close if they simply don't know how to act around something so fragile and pure. Protect yourself.

Leo: The annoying restlessness that you experience today is simply a reminder that it's important to start engaging in art projects or musical endeavors that make you happy. Learn from people who aren't afraid to follow their dreams. Don't be so concerned with what other people think of your work. Now it's important to do these things for yourself.

Virgo: People may be relying on you in many ways today, so be careful that you don't let anyone down. You may feel like judges are evaluating your performance. Try not to get too carried away with this concept. What's most important is that you do your best, not necessarily that you achieve perfection.

Libra: Try not to get caught in the crossfire of a heated emotional battle today. Your happy, freedom-loving nature is too precious to be tainted by abrasive words and emotions. If things begin to flare up, erect a mental protective wall. These people may be too caught up in their own drama to see how their actions affect the people around them.

Scorpio: You should feel emotionally stable today, but you may feel a bit unsure of yourself when it comes to data. Someone is challenging your way of thinking and demanding that you take a step farther out on the fragile limb. You're happy on the part of the branch that's much thicker and more stable. Feel free to stay there if you don't feel comfortable taking a chance now.

Sagittarius: Go out and see a movie that you've wanted to see for weeks. You'll be happiest in a reality that isn't necessarily yours. Fantasy and imaginative scenarios are what tickle your fancy now. Be careful of being weighed down by heavy emotional issues that don't have anything to do with you.

Capricorn: You may be faced with a choice between two different realities. Friends and family are choosing sides while you remain on the fence. You're able to understand both sides of the issue, making it difficult to put your energy in only one camp. Perhaps you wish to serve as a bridge between the two camps. Things don't have to be as black and white as others see them.

Aquarius: Be careful about letting your imagination run away with your emotions. Grand scenarios you work up in your head may send your heart crashing when they end unfulfilled or crushed. There's a realistic tone to the day asking you to be serious and practical, especially when it comes to your feelings.

Capricorn: Your heart's in the right place today, but somehow you find it hard to execute the things you want to do. Art and music projects are especially difficult for you now. They require a more cerebral approach than you'd like to admit. Perhaps you're drawn to the spiritual nature of things more than you're opposed to the rational nature of things.
