(Capricorn, December 22 to January 20: Today, whether you like it or not, you might have to let go of a few things that you thought were 'must haves' to keep the peace between you and your peers or teammates. Making a compromise is not what your ego wants to do, but your brain understands that it's the best thing to do. Letting go of something you really want can be an empowering experience -- you are keeping your desires from overpowering your common sense.)
(Aquarius, January 21 to February 18: Being polite and having good manners is important, but if someone is rude to you, you certainly don't owe them any courtesies. If someone pushes your buttons, then let them have it. Celebrate your obnoxious side today and use your creativity to craft an insult that will really get your point across. You aren't someone who can sit quietly while someone disrespects you or a love one, so why act like you are? Conveying truth in you actions is never a mistake.)
(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: This is a great day for starting projects that involve improvements around your house. Even if you don't have the greatest handyman skills, you do have tons of elbow grease. So stick with what you know you can do, and do it. Paint a room. Fix a leaky faucet. Clean out a closet. Then make arrangements for a professional to come in and take care of the rest. You run the risk of making a bad situation worse if you attempt something beyond your level of expertise.

(Libra, September 23 to October 23: You will make a major impact on people today even when you don't intend to -- your words carry extra weight and your decisions carry extra significance, so be careful. Your smallest, most innocuous actions can trigger big events you can't control, so think before you speak and make sure you don't send a message that could be misconstrued. And watch how friendly you are with new people -- they could think you are flirting with them when you're just be nice.)
(Scorpio, October 24 to November 21: The universe is sending you some introverted energy, and so you're probably not going to feel up for a party or big social exchange today. It's okay to take a break from the big, bad world and stick to yourself for a while -- in fact, it's healthy. So instead of hanging out with a bunch of friends, feel empowered to enjoy a quiet night in. Let everyone else have fun without you -- you'll have a great time settling in on the couch and enjoying some good movies and popcorn.)
(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: Sometimes life just isn't fair, but that shouldn't stop you from trying to see justice done today. It's not silly to believe in fairness, it's admirable. Hang on to your idealism with all your might -- it will help you adjust to any unexpected situation, be more self-sufficient, and keep you safe from people who don't like to play by the rules. Everything cannot be completely equitable in every situation, but you can work to make it as close as possible. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

(Cancer, June 24 to July 22: As you wrap up projects today, you'll suddenly realize that you don't have too many new things to move on to -- you have a ton of holes in your social calendar! But before you fill them all up with dates, parties, shopping trips or vacations, take the opportunity to schedule in some free time. Make it a priority to start balancing your work and play more astutely. You've been way too busy for way too long -- connecting with others is important, but not as important as connecting with yourself.)
(Leo, July 23 to August 23: Today the people around you are behaving in some unexpected ways -- but so will you! How you act solely depends on what type of energy is being projected toward you. And your best tactic is to just go with the flow. So if someone who is usually introverted suddenly starts talking a mile a minute and trying to become the center of attention, play along. Be more submissive than you usually would be, and let this person have what they are asking for.)
(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: There are a ton of different emotions in your heart right now, and they might be confusing you to the point of frustration. This problem is all about location, location, location! So instead of your heart, these thoughts should be moved up into your head so you can look at them in a more analytical way. Getting your emotions organized will help you understand them better and send you into a much more productive phase. So instead of reacting to your feelings, start dissecting them.

(Aries, March 21 to April 20: Align yourself with an intellectual person today. Even if their wisdom or education intimidates you, their insight will inspire you to new levels of greatness. They can help you prevail in any challenges you might face and give you confidence in an area that has always mystified you. Of course, it could be a pretty tough to find someone who is smarter than you, but if you keep an open mind about what it means to be intelligent, you'll find them soon.)
(Taurus, April 21 to May 21: Positive possibilities are all around you right now, which means that it's a good time to initiate any projects or relationships that you've been considering. If you find yourself in the right place at the right time, make your move and start that conversation. Sign on the dotted line or volunteer at that next meeting. It's important to kick things into high gear right now. Your brain is hungry for a bigger challenge. You are ready.)
(Gemini, May 22 to June 23: Take things more slowly in one of your newer relationships. Any impatience you show will only create stress between you two, so just let things unfold at their own pace and don't try to push your views onto them. You need to stay with this person and show them you are committed. While you wait for them, run some errands and keep yourself busy with other things. Soon enough, they'll be ready to take things to the next level. Your future is bright with them. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Photographer, Jacques Dequeker.
