Cancer Your expansive nature is reaching out to others, Cancer, but you may run into opposition. Keep in mind that not everyone wants your advice. Give it only if someone asks for it. It may be in your nature to want to jump into people's lives and fix things. Resist that temptation. What people may need instead is someone to listen. Leo Your general mood is at a peak today, although this mood is slightly off due to indecision on your part, Leo. Don't let this get you down.

You may be in the clouds. You shouldn't have any problem navigating through this part of the atmosphere. Others may look to you for advice. Capricorn You may look confused today, Capricorn. It may be hard for you to stick with one subject. Your attention may jump from one thing to another. That's OK. There's a distinct advantage to seeing all sides of the story. You will have greater perception and awareness of things today. Take this opportunity to put yourself in other people's shoes so you know how to deal with them in the future. Aquarius You may find it difficult to keep things neat and organized today, Aquarius. It seems like you're trying to organize a room full of feathers buffeted by gusts of wind. Buy a paperweight. Meanwhile, you might want to give up organizing the feathers and deal with it another time. You may feel too lazy to fight the wind. Pisces Your expansive, outwardly directed plans are moving at full force, but once in a while, self-doubt slows things down, Pisces. Today is one of those days in which insecurity may hamper your progress. The secret to success is to consider all the options and trust your instincts. Use your keen powers of observation to collect data and arrange facts in an orderly fashion. A Guide to All 12 Astrological Signs
