Overview: If you see the world through an idealist's eyes, it looks like a great big bunch of happy people who want only the best for each other. But if you look at it through grumpy glasses, it's quite a different picture. Which viewpoint are you going to take today? How the knot of your day unravels is completely up to you, so get in touch with your more positive mood and follow it. If you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, break the funk by treating yourself to an extra-special coffee drink.
Career: The less responsibility you have, the harder it is to take care of the responsibilities you do have. If you thrive on being overworked, beg for more. If not, make yourself get things done.
Singles: Compassion comes into play today as you deal with a rather difficult personality. As much as you'd like to turn and walk away from a disagreeable sort, your kindness is needed.
Couples: Today, spend time taking care of small issues around the home. When your home life is running smoothly, everything else just falls into place.
Finance: You're still in the exploratory stage. You can get plenty of valuable information by surreptitiously running your ideas past total strangers. Their input is worth money, as long as you keep things as anonymous and unidentifiable as possible.
Food: You'll have the energy you need to tackle a busy day. But those reserves will be depleted by evening and dinner could be a challenge. You may only have enough energy left to microwave a couple of chicken pot pies, but it'll be all you need.
Beauty: Sure, this dress looks great, but you can't fully breathe, eat or sit down in it. Put it back on the rack. Somewhere between totally stylish and totally comfortable there has to be a happy medium and you'll find it.
Mom: You may find that your little one likes to talk to strangers today. That's okay as long as you're there to guide them. Encourage them to share information, but edit out the parts about what happened when you tried to get into your old swimsuit.
Teen: It's one of those days when you really need to tell someone how you feel -- and it's all good. Your ability to get other people feeling better about themselves is as strong as your own self-esteem.
Home: Pay attention to important details no matter how tired you feel. Make sure you extinguish all those hot coals before you go to bed. Don't leave the dryer running or the iron on. Small oversights can create a huge dilemma.
Green: Change begins with a fertile foundation. Support worms! At first glance, worms are sort of disgusting, but consider vermiculture in a larger context. It provides good soil and a fertile base. So, encourage an end to global hunger -- raise worms. All you need is a can under your sink and some garbage to go in it. Now that's composting au naturel.
More: Refrain from doing too much shopping for yourself. You get caught up in the whole song and dance that it's therapeutic, but really you just have way too much time on your hands. Find a less expensive hobby.
