Overview: An authority figure in your life might be acting strangely today. It seems they're more concerned with their own issues than with mentoring you or challenging you to do your best. You might be tempted to take advantage of their distracted mood, but don't. Watch yourself and how you behave today. Now is the time to be a model citizen in every sense of the word. Resisting the temptation to goof off will help develop your self-discipline.
Career: Something has to be cut, and you're the one doing the cutting. The bottom line is the bottom line, and if it's not in the black, your surgical skills are called for.
Singles: Don't miss an opportunity to network further within the company. Connecting with others in different departments not only proves beneficial to your career, but it could also reap social benefits.
Couples: Before you get worked up about something, know all the facts. It may help to talk about it with your partner. They may be able to offer you some insight or show you another perspective.
Finance: If you expected money to be faithful, you've since learned better. It is as fickle as teenage love. Another person's wallet is just as comfortable as yours is. Don't take it personally.
Food: You'll be disappointed today when a pay raise doesn't come through. So turn to food to temper your frustration. Go to dinner and order grilled swordfish and a bottle of chardonnay. It could be the last expensive thing you buy in a while.
Beauty: You have a goal and you're about to reach it, whether that means running a mile in under ten minutes or learning to apply false eyelashes. Whatever it is, you have the extra energy to make a breakthrough today.
Mom: Teachers play a key role in your kiddo's life, but today you may find it's you who receives invaluable instruction. Someone will appear who can help you learn a life lesson that will prove to be an important one.
Teen: You're craving a little stability right now -- and it might be hard to come by. Try to keep cool and do your own thing while your friends are busy freaking out in their own unique ways.
Home: Missing your herbs? Grow them from seed in a box on one of your kitchen counters that catches the light. Make it a project with your children to measure how much each plant has grown once or twice a week. You won't grow enough basil for pesto, but you can enhance spaghetti sauce with harvest from your indoor garden.
Green: If you haven't heard of the CSA movement (Community-Sponsored Agriculture) learn about it. Why not? You love the concept of cooperative action mixed with food (fantastic!). A CSA is membership-based service (very affordable) that connects local growers with neighboring consumers. You'll receive (or pick up) locally produced food, everything from fresh-grown fruits and veggies to dairy products to organic coffee.
More: You've been way too high-strung lately. Find a way to unwind before you end up shaking like one of those nervous little Chihuahuas. People will start wondering whether you have a neurotic tic.
