Today's Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini

(Aries, March 21 to April 19: A friend who has been missing in action for a really long time will pop back onto the scene today -- and boy, do they have a story to tell about their adventures! So before you get all indignant about being neglected, listen to what they have to say. Be a good audience and show them that all you want is for them to feel fulfilled in their life, not obligated to you. You're not a friend who keeps track of the hours they put into the relationship. That petty person is not you.)

(Taurus, April 20 to May 20: Today you are in an acquisitive mood, and will have an insatiable need for more of whatever you have right now. However, if you obey all of these extravagant impulses, you could find yourself in some extremely uncomfortable financial situations. Try to distract yourself by acquiring things that don't require money -- like time with your favorite people. Your needs are probably rooted in emotional connections anyway. Fulfill your cravings without committing yourself to a lifetime of debt.)

(Gemini, May 21 to June 21: You will become a big part of an exciting development in a friend's love life -- but first you need to learn how to keep a secret! You risk ruining a pretty fabulous surprise if you start hinting around to a pal that you know something they don't know. This is one super secret that you simply can't spill -- or else! Once it's over, you can talk all you want, but until then, keep yourself distracted with new travel ideas or fun errands. If you have to, avoid the lucky person until the coast is clear.

Today's Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius

(Libra, September 23 - October 22: The fun, frivolous aspects of life are going to take up most of your day today, and you'll have a blast unleashing your wit and creativity on everyone around you. Flirting will get you some nice smiles, but be aware that not everyone is up for game playing. As long as you can keep track of who's up for fun and who isn't, you be able to enjoy anything thrown in your direction. Make the most of it today -- because unfortunately, this party period can't last forever. (Natalia Vodianova. Photograph Source, Fashion Model Directory.)

(Scorpio, October 23 - November 21: You deserve to have some fun today -- and luckily, you'll have tons of bright, sunny energy all around you today that will help you find fun quickly and easily. Join in with a large group of people if you can. Being in a group and tossing a bunch of great ideas back and forth will add some unexpected wrinkles to the day -- and you will love it! You are game for just about anything today. Your confidence is high and your reaction time is nearly instantaneous. (Photograph Source, Alexi Lubomirski.)

(Sagittarius, November 22 December 21: Is someone failing to meet all of your expectations? If so, the problem could be with your expectations. This person does not understand the role they play in your life, so it is not totally fair to think that they do. You can choose to either readjust what you want from this person, or you can make it clear to them that they are not cutting the mustard. Your disapproval might just be the kick start they need to get their act together once and for all. You can motivate them. Photograph Source, A Glamorous Little Side Project.

(An immaculately produced volume, "Donald Sultan" is a detailed examination of the artist’s distinguished thirty-year career. His gouged and spackled paintings of lemons, tulips, and vases were abstract, familiar, erotic, and captured enthusiastic critical attention immediately. Today, Sultan’s work can be found in more than forty-five American museums, including MoMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Gallery of Art. Source, The Vendome Press.)

Today's Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo

(Cancer, June 22 - July 22: Your hard work always pays off! Sure, it might take longer than you'd like to reap the rewards of your sweat equity, but it will come -- you must have faith! So if you see a chance to get a little further in a goal or on a project, go for it. So what if you've already got a lot on your plate or are feeling tired? The harder you work now, the sooner you will be able to relax. Dig down to unearth that Type A personality lurking inside of you. It will help you power through and persevere.

(Leo, July 23 - August 22: You have an unbeatable combination of flexibility and maturity today that makes you pretty much, well, unbeatable! You'll be able to rise above any petty dramas with ease -- you're too grown-up to get involved in the childish antics of others. Taking this attitude will gain you respect and more than a little admiration from a former foe. Things are about to shift in your direction, and you will have a chance to gain a lot more power a lot earlier than you thought. (Photograph Source, Deviant Art.)

(Virgo, August 23 - September 22: The idea of partnership is very appealing to you right now -- working with another person will be challenging, but it's the kind of challenge that you are craving right now. You will showcase all your strengths, and they will showcase theirs. Try to put together some sort of task for a duo today, even if it is as simple as a carpool. Okay, so you two might not solve all the world's problems -- but you will at least be able to drive in the carpool lane! (Photograph Source, We Heart It. Horoscope via Us.Glamour.com.
