Overview: If you never stop to smell the roses, you'll never know how sweet life can truly be. There is no need to rush around today, despite what anyone else may say. You're in a period of fullness right now in which a lot of what you've been working for has finally been integrated into your life. But you won't realize this unless you slow down and coast for a while. There's no need to put out every fire that ignites. Sometimes the chaos of life can be enriching.
Career: You may feel at loose ends, but don't sit idly at your desk. There is still plenty of research you could be doing, so dig in and do the more glamorous work once you're better prepared.
Singles: It's time to challenge your pessimistic attitude about dating. Not everyone is out to get you. You might be a bigger enemy to yourself. Love isn't a battlefield so quit throwing emotional grenades.
Couples: This is an ideal time to connect with friends from far away. Start planning a road trip with your partner to visit your pals. Seeing them in person will be so much more fun than phone calls.
Finance: You can hardly remember to relax, even though that's the best way to prepare for what might be coming next. Children won't let you and you wouldn't have it any other way. It's not often you get to have such a thoroughly good time for free.
Food: The devil will be in the details today. With this approach, you'll overcome tricky balance problems, and your pasta puttenesca will finally have the perfect blend of olive oil, garlic, capers and anchovies.
Beauty: Don't pack too heavily if you impulsively decide to take a day trip. The necessities, bring them, sure -- but leave a little room in your bag because you might find something fantastic you want to bring back with you.
Mom: Remember to be economical today. No need for excessive thrift, but does your baby really want that gold-plated binky? Or the jewel-encrusted lunchbox? Think more about practicality, less about showing off.
Teen: A flash of insight helps you read a friend or new crush who seems to be acting weird lately -- it should all make sense (well, more sense, anyway) by the time you're ready for bed tonight.
Home: Charge ahead, but only if your bills are paid off and this is a big-ticket item that will last for years. Use wisdom not wishes when it comes to money matters.
Green: It's your responsibility to lower your paper trail. Do your part by going paperless with bills, correspondence and banking. Cancel magazine subscriptions and read the same articles online. Ask companies to stop sending you junk mail and catalogs. Wrap gifts in maps and old comics rather than expensive papers. Print documents on both sides of the paper. Buy products that use minimum packaging.
More: There's only one thing that can get you out from this mire and you already possess it: perseverance. Maybe the Universe doesn't hate you after all, but certainly everyone else does.
