Today's Top Features

Get involved today -- don't shy away from putting yourself in the spotlight or ruffling a few feathers. If you see someone getting undeserved abuse, defend them! Don't just turn a blind eye and tell yourself that it's none of your business. Of course, you can't be a volunteer police officer and dive into dangerous situations, but there are going to be a couple of situations where someone needs to be put in their place. Give mean people a piece of your mind.

It's sad but true: Romance requires some hard work from time to time. And there is quite a bit of work required for your romantic life right now. If you are in a relationship, you will need to give your partner a little bit more than you have been giving. Compromise will bring the two of you closer. And if you're not in a relationship, today it's time to work a little bit harder at making that connection with that person you've been talking to a lot lately. Kick it up a notch.

You have got some juicy information to share and you should not be afraid to share it! You will have a fun day full of chatter, laughter and silly conversations. This is a great day to hang out with friends if you can make it happen. There have been quite a few new developments in their lives and you should find out what's new with them. Be sure to update them on all your news, too. You and your innermost circle are capable of creating a new reality for yourselves -- at least while you are together.

Today is a very good day for you to separate the good people in your life from the bad people in your life. You have the time you need, and recent events have given you the information you need to make that distinction. Friendships are not always meant to last for your entire life -- the role you play in their life, and the role they play in yours, must be a positive one. When it stops being so, then the nature of the role must change -- or the role must be recast.

You will have to sacrifice some of your privacy today, but it will be for a very good cause. Your presence is in high demand, and you will need to step out into the social spotlight and do a little networking. So if you are feeling more introverted than usual, this heightened social profile could be a little bit challenging. But if you are feeling outgoing right now, this will be a day for you to truly shine! It's time to get those names and numbers that can make your life more rewarding.

You might have a lot of false starts today -- your concentration isn't terribly strong. After a few minutes of working on or reading one thing, you could become very distracted and start working on something else. In order to avoid wasting your energy, do yourself a favor and get organized! Plan out your day loosely -- you don't have to schedule it down to the minute. Commit to doing one thing at a time and avoid the illusion of productivity that multi-tasking creates.

Listen to that nagging voice in your head today -- because it's not so much nagging you as it is giving you important warnings. So it is in your best interest to listen to your intuition whenever it has something to say. After all, has it ever steered you wrong? Even if it doesn't seem logical, it is telling you what the right thing to do is. Turn off your critical thinking and tune into your subconscious. Try deep breathing relaxation techniques to get you loosened up if you must.

There is some serious acting going on around you right now. There are one or two people who look bright and cheerful on the outside, but hide some deep, dark secrets inside. In fact, the happier someone appears, the more negative or dastardly they truly may be, today. So be careful of the people who have the widest smiles, because they are the people who have the most negative agendas. Be cautious about getting involved with anyone new, especially in terms of financial commitments.

You don't always have to cover all the details about something or someone before you decide to get involved. It's nice to have a little mystery to solve, and you are in a very inquisitive frame of mind right now. There's nothing you will enjoy more than a puzzle right now. Let someone else waste all their time figuring out all the ins and outs of things -- you have got too much life to live! This type of enthusiasm for life will draw people to you and create strong new connections.

You will have all the energy you need to get stuff done today, so don't worry about pooping out. You can get a lot achieved if you organize your time and delegate little tasks to other people. There are people who are not only ready, but eager to help you accomplish a few things today, so why not let them? You are more admired than you realize, and you could serve as an important mentor in someone's life. Give them greater responsibilities and they will rise to the occasion.

Everything must happen in its own time, right now -- you cannot rush things, even if you think it's for the best. Everyone has a different agenda, and you have to respect the fact that they are not on the same time schedule as you. This rule applies to social engagements, but even more so to career-related events or projects. Even if you are the big boss, you simply can't push people to deliver before they can. Learning to have patience will help you learn how to have accurate expectations.

Today, dip one of your toes into a potential new experience just to get a feel for what you may be in for. Jumping right into the deep end is not advised! Do your due diligence first -- ask people who have done this before what they think. Listen with a critical ear -- but don't be too critical. Their experience could never be exactly the same as yours would be, should you decide to do this. And they may have a vested interest in discouraging you. An evaluation could take a few days.
