Today's Top Features

Today, there will be no such thing as an accident -- especially when it comes to meeting new people. You might not like everyone you encounter today, but you will find them all very useful in helping you get where you want to be in your career. Polish up those networking skills: You're going to need them! And if you're looking for romance, get ready to discover a very appealing candidate. Have they been right under your nose the entire time? A new mutual friend will finally make things click.

Instead of making fun your first priority today, make sure that everyone you care about is taken care of. Check in with an older relative or friend who might need you to pick something up for them. Ask a coworker how their latest project is going. Give your sweetie some words of encouragement. Connecting with the people who matter in your life will remind you just how lucky you are to have them! Plus, it will also make them feel very lucky to have you in their life.

Today, never mind the busybodies who seem to think that they know how to run your life better than you do -- just turn the sound down and let your mind wander as this person drones on and on about what you're doing wrong and what you could be doing better. Then just go on living your life as you were planning to. You know exactly what you're doing -- do not let their jealousy or nosy behavior deter you from sticking to your original, excellent plan.

It's a good day for you to do some clean up -- your mind is focused and your energy will be nearly unlimited. But you don't have to apply this precept literally. Sure, if you want to organize your closet or pick up around the house, it's as good a day as any. But this is also the perfect time to clean up after the fallout from a recent misunderstanding between you and someone you care about. It didn't seem like that big a deal at the time, but it's still bothering you. Tie up the loose ends.

If you are feeling more thrifty and conservative than usual, that's a very good thing! It will make saving more money a lot less painful for you -- and saving more money is something you should be focusing on right now. Make the most of this phase. Jump to it, and put your money away somewhere where it can work for you. Even if you just put it into your savings account, it will do better there than in your pocket! You'll find a good use for the money later. A very, very good use.

You had a great day yesterday, and you'll have a great day again, today! You are in the midst of a wonderfully happy phase, when even the grouchiest of people will cause you to giggle and smile. There's just no telling where all of this good energy has come from, but why question it? Embrace the good vibes. Have fun with them -- and have fun with that certain new someone in your life who is always so very good at making your already bright smile even brighter.

Whether you realize it or not, today you have reached a milestone on a journey toward one of your goals. You probably feel like you have a little farther to go, and you do -- but for now you need to ignore the nagging voice in your head that is telling you to keep going. Today, you deserve a break. Try to think of your situation as being 'good enough for now.' You can keep going tomorrow or the next day. But right now, slow down and recharge your batteries.

You don't always have to know all the details involved in a social situation in order to have fun with it. Today, let someone else take care of all the planning while you go off and enjoy doing something indulgent. Sure, it might feel weird taking on the 'slacker' role in the group, but it will be much more exciting. You'll be surprised by what other people cook up in your absence. But you're definitely going to have a good time. Trust that your planners know how to have fun.

You can't ask for something which can't be given and expect to get it. Funds are too tight at your office, so don't ask for a raise. That person is just not interested in you, so don't ask them for a date. The weather is just not going to change, so don't ask for rain. Today is all about accepting things the way they are, and moving on. The only satisfaction you're going to get from this day will derive from the things that you control. You have more power than you realize.

If you are put in charge of planning or researching anything today, you are going to have a blast! Nothing will delight you more than finding facts, nailing down dates, reserving transportation, making arrangements, and handling all those other miniscule details that so often drive people (including you most of the time) absolutely batty. Your brain is like a steel trap right now, and you're able to gather and process numbers, names and dates with grace and ease.

Being considerate of other people has never been a problem for you, but just because it's second nature for you doesn't mean it doesn't require conscious thinking on your part. Never assume that you can be careless when dealing with others. You have the same inherent prejudices everybody else does, and they pop out all the time. Usually, they don't hurt anyone. But watch out for a slip of the tongue today that might raise a few eyebrows. Luckily, you're a person who's willing to learn!

Not everyone has the opportunities you've had, which will be all too obvious today. The imbalance around you is really starting to annoy you, but the good news is that you can do something about it! Helping others get to where they want to be in their life will make you feel better, and will show others in your situation that being generous is a good thing to do. By lending a helping hand (by donating clothing, money, or your time), you will give yourself something else to be proud of.
