Fast thinking on your part could make all the difference today, so keep looking at things from different angles and prepare a few suggestions just in case you are asked for your input today. Try not to reveal your hand before it is the right time to do so -- you wouldn't want to share too much information and lose your competitive edge. It's time to keep your secrets closely guarded. This might be against your generous nature, but it is in your best interests.

Mechanical devices or technical contraptions might confound you today, so try to avoid working with any machinery. For example, avoid any lengthy driving trips, and try not to spend too much time in the kitchen. This isn't a question of there being more danger in your life right now, so there's no reason to worry. But in order to save yourself some frustration, stick to a low-tech world where good old-fashioned person power will get you where you need to go.

Organization is key for surviving the details that will shower down on you today. Dates, names, budgets and itineraries require your full attention right now, so prepare to get it together! Like a harried conductor who tries to orchestrate musicians to play the same notes in the same way, you will need to utilize all your patience and all your creativity to create that beautiful music. But the good news is, this challenge will bring you joy.

Do you plan to spend some time with children today? Well, even if you will be surrounded by grownups all day, it might feel as though you are stuck in a kindergarten class. For instance, you can expect some petty behavior or even a tantrum when someone doesn't get his or her way. Your first instinct will be to deal with this person compassionately, but there is no need for that. You can feel free to ignore, and move away from, this negative energy.

You will be given a wonderful chance to move beyond some of your old habits today, but take note -- it will not be handed to you on a silver platter. You are going to have to work for it just a little bit. But anything worthwhile is worth the toil, right? The only effort really required of you is being open to and available for a challenge. The one thing you don't want to do today is the one thing you really must do. And that's the truth!

Not everyone is as intuitive as you are, and today you will have to listen to a friend make some outlandish and unlikely predictions. This person will be so sure of these notions that he or she is willing to bet money on them, but you know better. If you think that gambling on these predictions will put your friend in some sort of danger, do your best to point out some logical flaws. Otherwise, stay quiet and let this pal learn an important lesson -- the hard way.

Someone is starting a new phase of their life today, and you will be especially tuned into it. The purpose of your allegiance with this person is not completely clear, but you will serve as a witness, as proof of another person's fresh beginning. This person could be anyone -- a family member, a friend or even a complete stranger. Your task is to stay in the moment to be ready to gain inspiration from someone else's remarkable transformation.

Don't be surprised if an unexpected veil of bashfulness falls on you today! You still understand what an amazing person you are, but you might not have the energy required to make your own introductions. Let other people draw you out of your shell today. You'll encounter one person with a particularly warm personality -- and you will likely be very intrigued. Enjoy this feeling of curiosity, and trust that it is mutual. Let the conversation unfold naturally.

Today, stay loose and relaxed on the inside -- and composed and formal on the outside. The first impression you make is going to be key, and you will want to err on the side of ambition. This combination of calm and cool will help you easily take advantage of a gigantic opportunity when it appears. The work at hand demands a lot of you, but it's nothing you can't handle with grace and professionalism. Propriety and an objective demeanor will be called for most of the day.

Attending a family gathering will give you a fresh perspective on where you want to take your life -- it seems that stories from the past are great places to find inspiration for your future. Try not to hide your newest discovery from friends and other family members. They want the opportunity to share in your joy -- and to offer some unsolicited advice. Instead of resisting their input, take it all in and be grateful that they care so much about you. You're lucky.

Some big walls are coming down today -- and this collapse will reveal several wonderful new truths. What you used to think were major problems aren't really problems at all, but facts you can totally roll with. Expect a flood of relief to wash through you and keep you energized for the rest of the day. Now that your fears are proven to be unfounded, everything this day has to offer is icing on the cake. You'll start seeing things in a much more positive light for the near future.

More than ever, your friends and relatives are providing you with the inspiration you need to keep yourself motivated and energized. Therefore, it's time to thank them all for their support and devotion. Why not blend your gratitude with your renowned hospitality skills, and throw a dinner party for everyone? Unite your family with your 'chosen family,' and watch all the people you love most in the world make one another laugh.

If this day has a hectic and adventurous beginning, today could end up being a massive turning point for you. It all depends on who you are around today ... romantic prospects or current partners can influence your receptiveness, so try to keep all correspondence high-level and upbeat. The less distracted you are, the more likely you'll be able to recognize an unusual invitation or proposal. A door is opening, so get ready to stick your foot in it to keep it from slamming shut again.

Your intuitive powers are definitely strong right now, but they might not be totally on the mark today. This doesn't mean you should doubt yourself, but it does mean that you should get a second opinion about what your gut is telling you -- especially if it's telling you something negative about a good friend. Suspicious thoughts could be merely a manifestation of what you're afraid of. Talk it out with a mutual friend to get some clarity and insight.

If you are working on getting more romance in your life, one of the hardest tasks is to come up with the laundry lists of likes and dislikes that are so prevalent in first date conversation. Today it would be an excellent use of your time to take stock of yourself -- analyze who you are and what you want out of life (and in a partner). Even if you're not looking for a new love, this act of self-inventory will be useful, and it could yield quite a few nice surprises. You rock, and you should realize it.

Instructions belong in a board-game box -- not in your romantic relationship. It's important to do things your own way -- and yes, that may include making your own mistakes. If other people are giving you unwanted advice, thank them. And then ignore them. They may have the very best intentions, but they are not you. Right now, you need to follow your gut (and your heart). Do what feels right, and be prepared to live with (and grow from) the consequences.

In a delicate negotiation today, there may be an unexpected sticking point that involves some humorous issues. Let your sense of humor guide the discussion to your own favor. Isn't it great that you have a sharper wit than most people? You will definitely get the upper hand without anyone realizing it. This will enable you to work hard for a compromise, but you won't have to reveal your hand. The key is flexibility -- but only to a certain point.

You have all the issues at hand well under control -- good for you! But before you dedicate all your newly found free time to celebrating your accomplishments, give some thought to what's coming down the pike. A quick glance at your calendar will show that there is a very big event coming up sooner than you realized. You may have to do some shopping, organizing or cleaning to prepare for it -- and guess what? Today is a perfect day to get started on that.

If it's at all possible today, avoid driving or operating any heavy machinery. If this sounds like a prescription label to you, then just think of it as a prescription for your day. The big problem will be your energy -- it will not be dependable. Expect mood swings that send you off in unexpected directions. Your mind will wander with little (if any) provocation. Recent revelations on your mind may keep you from fully focusing on the tasks that demand your attention.

When a dilemma presents itself today, thinking things through will be your first instinct (as it usually is). That's all well and good, but you don't have time to mull today. Philosophizing is not going to help you come up with a better solution -- it will only help you come up with a tardy solution. Quick thinking is called for right now. Act on your gut instinct, and see what happens. Sometimes asking for forgiveness is a lot easier than asking for permission.

If you're looking to inject some more action into your social life, you need to put out more energy and make more connections. Try to be more outgoing than you usually are ... engage people and you will be letting them know that you want to be a part of their world. One thing to remember: Don't go for easy jokes or silly come-ons. You don't want to get off on the wrong foot. Just be your witty, intelligent self and get ready to make more friends.

You are learning that love can come in many different varieties, and while this is very exciting, it can also be very confusing. Just remember to take things very slowly in any new relationships, and do not make any assumptions about your growing feelings for someone. Don't try to pigeonhole this person into a certain category. Not everything has to have a name. You two can build a relationship that is like no one else's.

The resources you're using could use a major upgrade soon -- it's time for you to start researching new computers or other types of equipment that can help you do what you need to do faster and more efficiently. If you don't feel comfortable with comparing the details, don't be shy about asking for help. One of your friends has recently gone through a similar situation, and there is no reason not to learn from their mistakes and experience.

Your family obligations are at the center of your world right now, and they could be causing conflicts in your social life. Explain the situation to your friends honestly and completely -- don't leave out any details that you think aren't important, because all the information is relevant. They have families, too, and they'll understand why you must reorganize your priorities. They might even offer to help you out and lighten your load.

Not so fast there, buddy! You might have a lot of things on your plate right now, but that doesn't mean you can just rush through them all. Unless you want to have a whole bunch of unpleasant surprises rear their ugly heads a few days down the road, you need to slow down and look at things extra closely today. Even small talk deserves a little bit more extra attention than usual. You can't let yourself miss a beat today, because it could come back to haunt you.

Mechanical devices or technical contraptions might confound you today, so try to avoid working with any machinery. For example, avoid any lengthy driving trips, and try not to spend too much time in the kitchen. This isn't a question of there being more danger in your life right now, so there's no reason to worry. But in order to save yourself some frustration, stick to a low-tech world where good old-fashioned person power will get you where you need to go.

If you're being totally flirtatious with someone and they're just not picking up what you're putting down, it's time to move on! Forget the fact that you have put in so much time and effort with them. Just let it go and cut your losses. If they aren't interested, you can't make them see how fabulous you are. The less time you waste on trying to change their mind, the better. There is someone much more appreciative waiting in the wings. Go out and find them!

Do you plan to spend some time with children today? Well, even if you will be surrounded by grownups all day, it might feel as though you are stuck in a kindergarten class. For instance, you can expect some petty behavior or even a tantrum when someone doesn't get his or her way. Your first instinct will be to deal with this person compassionately, but there is no need for that. You can feel free to ignore, and move away from, this negative energy.

There is a disconnect between what you think and what you're saying right now -- why? You should listen to your internal voice and respect it. Don't be afraid to share your true feelings with the world. If you feel the need to put your raw thoughts into a filter, then you have to admit that they're not a true representation of your feelings -- and isn't that just a fancy way of saying that they're untrue? Be truthful and unedited today. Turn off your filters and just talk!

Not everyone is as intuitive as you are, and today you will have to listen to a friend make some outlandish and unlikely predictions. This person will be so sure of these notions that he or she is willing to bet money on them, but you know better. If you think that gambling on these predictions will put your friend in some sort of danger, do your best to point out some logical flaws. Otherwise, stay quiet and let this pal learn an important lesson -- the hard way.

Teamwork can be a powerful force, but working in groups might not be for you today. There's a high possibility of personality clashes and of old issues getting dug up yet again. If you can, avoid joining any teams or groups of people today -- even if it's just for lunch. You're much more suited to being a solo act right now. It's the best way to retain control of where you are going and to keep yourself grounded. No one takes care of you as well as you do!

Don't be surprised if an unexpected veil of bashfulness falls on you today! You still understand what an amazing person you are, but you might not have the energy required to make your own introductions. Let other people draw you out of your shell today. You'll encounter one person with a particularly warm personality -- and you will likely be very intrigued. Enjoy this feeling of curiosity, and trust that it is mutual. Let the conversation unfold naturally.

Be very careful when you're communicating today. A misused word, an innocent slip of the tongue or even a tiny typo in an email could create a big problem down the line. Double-check every email and make sure it's saying exactly what you want it to say. And keep in mind that email is not a good vehicle for sarcasm. If you're saying something in a joking manner, the recipient might not get the joke. Phone calls will be frequent today, so be prepared to have several interruptions.

Attending a family gathering will give you a fresh perspective on where you want to take your life -- it seems that stories from the past are great places to find inspiration for your future. Try not to hide your newest discovery from friends and other family members. They want the opportunity to share in your joy -- and to offer some unsolicited advice. Instead of resisting their input, take it all in and be grateful that they care so much about you. You're lucky.

Today you are in the perfect frame of mind to seek out new experiences and meet new people. Right now, you really crave substance over sizzle and sass, so go to the places that are likely to give it to you: Museums and cultural centers, for instance (skip the mall). Embrace things that confuse you or make you stop and think. Open up your barriers and lower your expectations -- only then will you start receiving the new experiences that you want.

More than ever, your friends and relatives are providing you with the inspiration you need to keep yourself motivated and energized. Therefore, it's time to thank them all for their support and devotion. Why not blend your gratitude with your renowned hospitality skills, and throw a dinner party for everyone? Unite your family with your 'chosen family,' and watch all the people you love most in the world make one another laugh.

Having control of other people's money will cause you much more stress than handling your own money will right now, so avoid getting involved in any type of financial ownership if at all possible! This is not the time to buy something with someone else's credit card, invest money for someone else, or even mail someone's check on your way to the post office. Keep your distance from other people's money, and you'll save yourself from unpleasant accidents.

Your intuitive powers are definitely strong right now, but they might not be totally on the mark today. This doesn't mean you should doubt yourself, but it does mean that you should get a second opinion about what your gut is telling you -- especially if it's telling you something negative about a good friend. Suspicious thoughts could be merely a manifestation of what you're afraid of. Talk it out with a mutual friend to get some clarity and insight.

Are you on pins and needles about an upcoming verdict or decision? You shouldn't be. It doesn't matter what other people think right now, because ultimately the outcome is up to you, and the way your life changes (if it changes at all) is totally up to you. You can allow people to voice their opinions about what you are doing, but you do not have to obey them. Now is not the time to hand the steering wheel to someone else. You are in charge, so flex your muscles -- it will feel good!

Instructions belong in a board-game box -- not in your romantic relationship. It's important to do things your own way -- and yes, that may include making your own mistakes.

Right now, you need to follow your gut (and your heart). Do what feels right, and be prepared to live with (and grow from) the consequences.

In any type of communication today -- from text messages to face-to-face conversations and even snail mail -- you have to be sure to pay attention to the meaning that's being conveyed. Right now, people are going to be vague about what they really want from you, and you can't take that vagueness as permission to pretend you don't have a good idea about what they're really talking about. Cut to the chase, and find out the truth. If you don't, you'll end up wasting too much time.

You have all the issues at hand well under control -- good for you!

You may have to do some shopping, organizing or cleaning to prepare for it -- and guess what? Today is a perfect day to get started on that.

Your brain is your most powerful erogenous zone, and today it is going to get stimulated quite a bit! Not every intellectual connection you have with someone today will spark a great romance, but there will be one particular conversation that stays in your mind for days. You are starting to understand that the value a person can add to your life comes more from what they say and how they think than from how they look. Rearrange your list of priorities accordingly.

Act on your gut instinct, and see what happens. Sometimes asking for forgiveness is a lot easier than asking for permission.

Have you been spending a lot of time with just one or two people? It's great to make the most out of the good vibes you've been feeling together, but keep in mind that you could get a little overwhelmed if you don't mix up your social life a little bit more. Today is a good time to get some more distance from the people who are in your life right now -- it's time to go solo for a while and remember what it's like to miss someone (instead of learning what it is like to get bored with someone).

You are learning that love can come in many different varieties, and while this is very exciting, it can also be very confusing.

One of your friends has recently gone through a similar situation, and there is no reason not to learn from their mistakes and experience.

In the rat race that is your life, you cannot keep looking over your shoulder to see who's gaining on you. If you focus on what other people are doing, how will you concentrate on your life? Trust that you are a superstar in comparison to others. Things are well on their way toward being successful, and you should feel proud of your progress. The smartest way to compete is not against other people -- it is against yourself.
