Today's Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo

(Cancer, June 22 - July 22: You always behave well around your boss, but how well do you mind your p's and q's when you are around your coworkers? There could be spies among them, so make sure you are being good today. You should definitely avoid getting involved in any idle office gossip. Steer clear of people who just love to complain, but hate to offer suggestions on how to make things better. Changing your attitude is easy when you realize that a better attitude equals a better career.)

(Leo, July 23 - August 22: Today is all about taking time to establish things -- you can't be in a hurry if you want to get anywhere. So go slowly and take your time to explore what other people are looking for in life. Ask questions about your friend's goals and you just might be able to help them get one or two of them. And that sense of satisfaction is just what you need right now. You have a lot to share, a lot to teach -- and an awful lot to learn from others. This is a day for letting new ideas sink in.)

(Virgo, August 23 - September 22: Today you might want to go out and buy a bigger address book, because you are going to be meeting a lot of new acquaintances today. New names and faces will be filling your day with excitement and possibility. If you are interested in growing your social scene or expanding your career networking connections, this is going to be a banner day. But if you are fine with where you are and who is in your life right now, simply take all this new energy for what it is. Don't try to keep track.

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.
