Aries (March 21-April 19): You know there are things you want to finish before the new year begins, but you may be too distracted to accomplish much today. You might try to shift the blame to others for your lack of productivity, but the truth is you are eager to jump on someone else’s idea.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Other people’s emotional experiences demand your attention today, requiring you to set firm boundaries. You want to be of help, but you’re unwilling to put your entire day on hold to participate in a drama that isn’t yours. Reconsider what’s most important to you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Given that you are often in your head, you find the intensity of your emotions surprising today. However, your current lack of logical thinking won’t likely prevent you from sharing your process as your moods change. You can end up being your own worst enemy if you ramble.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Maintaining your emotional equilibrium sounds easier than it is in practice today. Although you might want to give up and hide out in your room, exploring new ways to integrate your desires with the needs of others can be empowering.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The more you value the simple everyday routines of your life, the happier you will be today. Honesty paired with discipline can result in magical levels of progress now, even if it’s not yet apparent to others. Lasting change occurs from the inside out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Although giving voice to your emotions is often uncomfortable, it seems to flow more naturally today. Nevertheless, you prefer to talk about things that are based on logic rather than describing irrational mood changes. You might surprise someone close to you when you open a floodgate of pent-up feelings.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Establishing equanimity in your relationships takes center stage today. You are compelled to work through a grievance with a significant other. This process requires determination and a commitment to honest communication, but it is vital that you are centered.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may try to spend the day avoiding an emotional encounter, only to find yourself drawn into a drama anyway. Your defensive tactics are like bandages that cover rather than cure an unresolved feeling that needs healing. When you take the time to fully identify with another person’s experience, your empathy creates a bond.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your craving for social activity is undeniable today, even if it means you’re closely tied to other people’s schedules. Although you tend to walk through the world with a keen sense of independence, spending time with friends does not have to derail your sovereignty.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The call to turn inward is compelling today, but social obligations cannot be ignored. Although you may be on a collision course with responsibility, there’s a bit of cosmic respite that allows you to sit back. Contemplating your connection with your work can lead to a fresh perspective on the future.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The freer you feel to express your nonconformist side, the happier you are. You must weigh your need to play the role of contrarian with your current desire to fit in. You may even question your underlying motivations to rebel against authority.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your devotion to spiritual principles seems to be intensifying. As a result, the depth of your understanding of the suffering of others is enhanced today. Unfortunately, the level of sensitivity you are tapping into can be a lot to navigate.
