There's quite a mixed bag of astrological energies on board, so prepare yourself. The stars emphasize peace and relationships, urging you to place yourself bravely between any warring factions -- and with your reputation for bravery, there's no doubt you can pull it off. However, it could well be jealousy or resentment you're dealing with, and neither of those situations are easy to handle. Well, good luck -- not that you'll need it, once you set your mind to it.


TAURUS

Jealousy and resentment are in the air, but not because of anything you've done. So put aside your famous ability to blame yourself for every single thing that's ever happened and listen up. The stars bring up issues around relationships and obsession -- it's the perfect recipe for making every encounter an intense, possessive one. Yes, that goes for even the most casual ones. If a friend has a problem along these lines, be prepared to drag them out of their mood -- even if they don't want to go.


GEMINI

Ready to actually make travel plans? Good, because you've definitely earned the time off. Now, this doesn't mean you need to jump into anything (as if you ever needed any help in that department), but you should know that you're right about ditching the hesitations and moving forward. If this is a romantic tryst, so much the better. Not only will the plans go along well, the trip promises to be steamy. And that's not even mentioning tonight!


CANCER

Go easy on your coworkers and the people you see on a daily basis. The stars turn up your powers of charming manipulation, convincing you that no matter what you want, you can have it (as long as you're willing to dangle a very attractive carrot in front of someone's nose). You'll do it nicely, however, so not only will it work, but no one will mind.


LEO

If a loved one happens to bring up an uncomfortable topic, you won't shy away from it -- but they'll be sorry they didn't let it lie right where it was. It's all about love, love, love for you -- you're the current astrological equivalent of a magnet. In short, there will be no refusing you (as if there ever was) and no possibility of winning an argument. It's only fair that you warn your opponents first.


VIRGO

You just can't be too careful when it comes to the feelings of a dear one, a family member in particular. So if you get the impression that you're being just a bit too blunt and honest (based on the look on their faces, that is) try to rein it in, just a little. After all, there's definitely something to be said for discretion -- and for being kind to folks who aren't as well-equipped to do verbal battle as you are


LIBRA

Mata Hari has temporarily set up shop at your place, and she's doing all of her deals from your phone or email -- in your voice or handwriting. Now that you know, you'll expect what tumbles out of your mouth to be extremely seductive, intriguing and passionate. The thing is, your sweetie won't be expecting the same, and may feel overwhelmed. What to do? Well, if it's the good kind of passion, have at it. If it's the other kind, force yourself to be gentle.


SCORPIO

Telling most people that secrets could be revealed makes them apprehensive. Saying that to you, however, just whets your whistle. Well, guess what? It's time for privacy, please, courtesy of the stars. Of course, these astrological influences can also inspire one and all to forget niceties, discretion and anything else that doesn't fit under the category of 'what I want.' Easy, there.


SAGITTARIUS

Heaven help anyone you're around today who decides they'd like to drag you over to their side of the aisle, because not only will it not happen, but they'll end up sorry they ever mentioned it. You won't hesitate to mention each and every reason you're not willing to switch teams, and that's just for starters. Funny thing is, by the time you're done responding, they may just be begging you to let them lead a squad -- for your side


CAPRICORN

The temptation to tell one and all that extremely juicy secret you've been holding onto for an interminably long time will just about kill you, especially if you give into it. If you're brave, and you keep quiet (and who's better at keeping quiet than you are?), you might just be noticed by the powers that be, who'll be impressed by your discretion. Oh, give it a shot. You know what they say about discretion.


AQUARIUS

Whatever you're feeling, it's going to show quite easily, and the more people you're surrounded by, the more fun it will be to let it fly. So when a friend asks you to help dig into their current situation, whether it's to help them out of it or help them to find their own way, you won't hesitate -- but you may end up wishing you had, if you're not discreet. Hey, you're already busy trying to stay out of trouble. Why look for more?


PISCES

Someone who's in a position of authority is watching your performance, and not being at all discreet about it. The good news is that with the current astrological setup, you'll charm the pants off of them without even trying, and then take off for a lovely, fun-filled evening. Dispose of any anger about the fact that you've been under surveillance -- you passed with flying colors.
