Aries:
Assert your willpower today -- not against other people, but over yourself. If you know you don't need to spend money on something, you'll feel more together and disciplined if you abstain than if you splurge.

Taurus:
A dose of culture may keep you motivated to study a language. Find a book of paintings by a French artist, or use the Internet to explore the Moorish architecture of Spain. Even classical languages have stories to tell.

Gemini:
Your battery is running like a dream, but you may be held up by a partner's mopey pace. Instead of getting frustrated when companions drag their heels, use your powers of motivation to jumpstart their engines.

Cancer:
A day full of ups and downs may seem inconvenient at first, but think of it like a roller coaster. The thrilling crests and jaw-dropping valleys make your life richer in comparison to the kiddie rides of your past.

Leo:
Your plans will unfold smoothly today, with few naysayers around to impede your progress. Make sure your friends are offering constructive criticism so you aren't embarrassed later on. Better hurt now than in the end.

Virgo:
You may feel at loose ends today, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong. Seek out mindless entertainment of a variety that suits your tastes, whether an action movie or a civilized game of croquet.

Libra:
You're not necessarily one to notice details today, but your eyes are quick to seek out beauty. Sunsets and sculptures will make you smile. If you see a sculpture against the backdrop of the setting sun, you'll swoon.

Scorpio:
In an impasse with a family member or a friend, evaluate whether you really need to come out on top. The conversations are intense, but is that because the stakes are high, or is your past history getting in the way?

Sagittarius:
A cozy spot of tea will get all your friends chatting. Get advice from someone you usually don't ask. Impartial judgment will be more useful than the input of someone who thinks about you all the time.

Capricorn:
It's a good day for brainstorming. Your imagination is active and you'll easily move from one prototype to another. Once you've generated a lot of ideas, pass them on to others. Follow-through is not your strong suit.

Aquarius:
You'll instantly click with others today, especially if the conversation is about school curriculum or books you've recently read. The debate will be lively but utterly friendly -- be sure to get contact information.

Pisces:
It's a time to put ugly memories aside and reconcile with a friend you really, truly love. A simple gift of a little pumpkin or a bag of candy will help things get rolling. Then explain exactly what you miss about them.
