It's not possible to have everyone like you in life. Sure, you know this intellectually, but emotionally it can be hard to accept the fact that not everyone is your fan -- especially today, when you miss out on something fun. If you're struggling to stay cheerful about this, just keep concentrating on the fact that the world has to accept you for who you are. The more you compromise in order to win people over, the less genuine you are.

Your popularity is in no danger right now, even though you might be worried. Why isn't the phone ringing as much as you would like? Why not just get more proactive about your social life? Instead of waiting for an invitation, throw one out to someone else! Pick a person who always makes you smile, who always has some juicy stories to share, and most importantly -- who you haven't had quality time with for a while. They are just as eager to see you as you are to see them.

When you're in a crowd today, try to work the room. You have a huge amount of outgoing energy inside of you, and it will help you connect with people really well. A silly joke or unique observation, when shared with another person, can serve as a foundation for further relations. Even if you feel like you have all the friends you have time for, why not choose to have a pleasant encounter? You don't have to make a huge commitment, you just have to make some small talk.

If you are trying to find more time in your day, the way you go about finding it depends on what you need the time for. You should be careful in business dealings right now, so if you think you need to make time for contracts or other types of documents, you're wrong. But if you need more time for friends, family or yourself, then make the time by rescheduling anything that is work or career-related. Your priorities need to shift toward the personal now.

You know who you can trust today. More importantly, you know who you can't trust. So stick to your guns when a trusted friend asks you to make an exception just this one time and hang out with someone you don't really like. Beg off the invitation and let them know that while they have every right to choose who they hang out with, so do you. When it comes to the company you keep, you have to watch for plotters. There are people who are up to no good.

The restless energy you've been struggling with for the past few days is finally starting to fade away, and suddenly your regular routine doesn't feel so regular anymore! You're finding new things to appreciate about your old life, and it's fitting you like an old pair of jeans right now -- things are comfortably uncomplicated. This bodes well for a blooming romantic relationship. Nothing's more appealing than someone who's happy with how their life is going.

You have a calm energy around you today -- the people you'll be dealing with know how to take care of business the right way, without drama. So breathe a deep sigh of relief and know that you are with the right team -- you are in good hands! You can now feel free to stop worrying so much about how things are going to go and start enjoying the time you're spending with these fabulous people. You can learn a lot from them. Start a conversation and let the knowledge soak in.

Your vision is almost infra-red today, probing deep below the surface of things. You will quickly see how people are very different from what they are purporting to be. They may have worked very hard on perfecting their image, but you will still be able to see the warts they're trying to hide -- which will endear them to you. You've got a soft spot for vulnerability, and once you see their insecurities, you will know that they are someone you can trust.

Someone you admire a great deal is available to be your mentor -- all you have to do is ask! You can't be shy when you're so close to such a great opportunity! Push yourself to make the first move and get a conversation going. Find out if they can answer a few questions, give you a few pointers, or at least give their feedback on your ideas. You can no longer sit on the sidelines of your own life. Get in the game and start playing, today! The sooner you get started, the better.

When you come across someone from a different background or culture today, start up a conversation. Even just a few minutes of small talk will help you get insight and new inspiration. You might want to try foreign travel, music, or even food. It's a good time for you to explore ideas and customs that are unfamiliar -- you might not like everything you learn about, but so what? At least you will have given your intellectual curiosity a good workout! To ensure your mind stays open, you have to stretch it.

Today, try to get outside as much as you can to take in the fresh air and get some exercise. No matter what the weather is like, you need a little outing at least once today to get you back on track. It's going to be a busy day, but not so busy that you will have to sacrifice your sanity. So if someone tells you they need something 'now,' tell them to wait until a little bit later. You're in charge of your hours right now, and don't forget it.

There is a wonderful opportunity knocking at your door, so why don't you answer it? Being intimidated by a new challenge is understandable, but not when it's something right up your alley, like this! You need to get a boost of confidence, and the best place to find it is with your closest friend. Call them up and tell them what's going on. Share your concerns with them and see what they say. They will not only help you see that you can do this, they will help you see that you can succeed.
