Today's Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo

(Cancer, June 24 to July 22: Today is about taking the time you need to establish things -- instead of just trying something for fifteen minutes, you need to delve in and make more of a commitment. This applies to growing relationships, improving your career options, and just entertaining yourself. Don't just send a flirty email to that person you're into. Call them up and get a deeper conversation going. Share your philosophy and they will share theirs with you. This will be a good way to spend the day.)

(Leo, July 23 to August 23: Simple pleasures hold the greatest satisfaction for you today, so keep close to home and enjoy some quiet time. One great idea might be to have some friends over for a meal. Cooking together could be fun and is likely to get everyone's creative juices flowing. Your wanderlust kicks in today when someone mentions their upcoming plans for overseas travel. Move forward on planning you next adventure today, and you may stumble across an excellent opportunity.)

(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: Past mistakes or missteps are all water under the bridge -- you cannot think of them when you are thinking about what to do next. Looking backwards when you're trying to go forward is a recipe for disaster. So if you're embarking on any new projects, relationships or work environments today, you have to have an open mind and a strong attitude that anything is possible. Positive thinking will empower you and encourage you to take chances when you might not have before. Horoscopes via Marie Claire.com. Photograph Source, Ellen von unwerth.

Today's Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini

(Aries, March 21 - April 19: Watch for frustration with your bank account right now. You can get a handle on the stress your money issues are causing, but only if you keep cool. Now is not the time to react with dramatic and panicky changes. Cut back on your budget too much, and you'll only beat yourself up when you aren't able to live with such stringent guidelines. You can find a middle ground, making small changes that will make a big difference over time. Do not be impatient about this. Michael Kors Turquoise Santorini Straw Cluth via Neiman Marcus.com)

(Taurus, April 20 - May 20: Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean that you can't get along with them. You can even laugh together! If you always opted out of being friends with people who think about life differently than you do, you'd miss out. The back-and-forth debate in this relationship creates an exciting intellectual reward, and that has a valuable place in your life. You have so much more to offer than just your congeniality, and people are just as attracted to your rough edges as they are to your smooth ways. Fendi Beaded Clutch via net-a-porter.com)

(Gemini, May 21 - June 21: Get creative in how you handle mundane tasks today, and you will get a lot done. Even if you simply put on one of your favorite CDs while you are washing the dishes, the added stimulation that your right brain receives will keep you smiling and boost your 'can do' attitude skyward. You'll be able to keep a great momentum going throughout the day, without yawning once! It's a great time to power through errands and finish up old projects that you've left half finished.
