Today's Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo

(Cancer, June 22 to July 22: Everything you think and feel is rapidly tumbling out of your mouth, virtually unfiltered. That's kind of scary for a creature as sensitive as you, but if you spend as much time as possible with people you love and trust, it will turn out to be a positive thing. After all, what could possibly be better than exchanging words of love with those you're closest to -- other than the wonderful, warm hugs that follow those declarations of affection, of course. )

(Leo, July 23 to August 23: Speaking of charm, stick-to-itiveness and making changes at work, don't underestimate yourself -- or your coworkers. The powers-that-be are seemingly omnipotent, but they weren't born with your talent for organizing the masses, and they can't run the show without the cast. Keep everyone calm and come up with a battle plan for the future. In one day, you've probably already made some progress in convincing the higher-ups. Imagine what you can all do in a month.)

(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: You're well known for more than your common sense and sound judgment, but right about now, you'll definitely need the use of both those qualities. A loved one you were thinking of confiding in may beat you to the punch -- in other words, before you have a chance to ask for their opinion, they'll ask for yours. There's only one thing to do: take turns telling your stories. This could end up being mutually beneficial in more ways than one. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

Inspiration: Gorgeous Bedroom

(Ooh. There are so many elements of this room I love... the ornate period bed juxtaposed against a modern mirrored armoire, black no less... and the large window; a necessity in a bedroom! Source, Design Corner.)

Today's Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini

(Aries, March 21 to April 19: It's time to handle a family matter that's been making you crazy. If the issue is money, you'll need to put your foot down right away and be nothing but firm with all parties concerned. If it's strictly an emotional situation, the same holds true, but you may need to do some fancy footwork too -- in addition to handing out all your solid, grounded advice. Oh, and here's a tip: Either way, speak from your heart.)

(Taurus, April 20 to May 20: You've put your own personal goals on hold for far too long. It's now officially time to go after them with the same determination you usually only display when someone you love needs help or advice. The good news is that the heavens have arranged for an envoy to arrive at your door -- someone who just so happens to possess the skills, knowledge and experience you need to help you along the way. Expect a mystery guest and keep an eye out.)

(Gemini, May 21 to June 21: In your opinion, the astrological weather today is fine. Couldn't be better. There are scattered periods of change on the agenda, followed by even more change -- just the way you like it. Of course, while you're looking forward to the next surprise the universe has up its sleeve, your friend, sibling or neighbor is probably skulking around as far under cover as they can possibly get, worried about the unknown. Be nice. Draw them out and let them know that change is the only constant. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Photograph source via Models.com Feed.
