Aries (March 21-April 19): Taking care of a challenging task may currently put you in contact with your inhibitions and anxieties. When you’re working near your limit, you might be painfully conscious of everything that could go wrong. Remind yourself that this isn’t necessarily what everyone else sees.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Following a passion of yours may seem to put you at odds with your present community. Don’t forget that there are more people in the world than the ones around you right now! Even if you can’t physically go there, just knowing it’s an option has the potential to be comforting.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Feeling judged by a harsh authority figure might cloud your day. Although this person may have an ability to restrict you, their view of the situation probably isn’t universally shared. Whether or not they’re able to change the outcome, it should be nice to get some validation!

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Explaining a complicated topic to others could be necessary now. You may feel obligated to make sure your audience understands every minor detail. At this stage of the process, though, that’s not likely to hold their attention. Make it more like you’re talking to a friend. Lead with the main points.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be frustrated about a financial situation that didn’t go your way. Perhaps some person is not helping you in the way you believe they should. Whether or not your expectations are realistic, you’re likely to have more satisfaction focusing on what you can control.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A close relationship of yours could feel tired. Finding a way to have fun together might get you out of your rut. Your companion may have the impression that their role in the dynamic doesn’t allow for that. The fastest way to correct any false assumptions is to do something unexpected.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be torn between duty and dreams today. You’re aware that an insight you’ve been seeking for some time is not far from you — if you could only escape your schedule. Relaxing your expectations for what must be done at home can provide extra room in your schedule.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Turning down an idea that your friends are excited about could be necessary. You’re probably not saying no without a good reason. You might have information that others would benefit from knowing, and they’ll likely understand that — even if it wasn’t what they initially wanted to hear.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An opportunity to advance your career could now be available. You may need to sacrifice some comfort in order to take advantage of what’s on offer. You’ll be happier with the outcome if you feel like you chose it freely, so do your own calculation of all the pros and cons.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Small talk may seem unappealing to you today. If this is inhibiting your ability to connect with someone, you might consider giving them another option. Bring up the topic you most want to discuss, because your companion probably won’t guess it independently.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone else may be asking you for money. Your process of deciding how to proceed might take in factors beyond the specific issue they’re raising. If you’re truly conflicted, maybe there’s a way for you to help this individual without the rest of the world finding out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Close connections could seem threatening. You might not even want someone else to open up to you about their concerns — you’d then feel pressured to reciprocate. On the other hand, socializing in a bigger group where less is expected from you may lift you out of your funk. Give it a try!
