Today you’ll be rebellious and opinionated. All authority will look repressive and all challenges will feel personal. Instead of growling about it or trying to escape, do something useful with this mood. Channel your temper into a sharp-edged strategy. Be a champion, not a prima donna. Go for your personal best without stomping others down to their worst. This will take a lot of self-control, but you’re good for it. Make yourself proud. The people who love you are already proud of you. Never forget that.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Your frame of mind is about as good it could possibly be. Today, you’re ingenious and energised — you could charge a fee just for thinking! So why not give your perceptions as a gift to people who could use them? The fact that you’re so sharp-witted isn’t lost on anyone — they’re all noticing the way you seem to put two and two together with incredible ease. You could really help someone out if you apply your creative solutions to their problem.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Usually, your quirks serve as a source of comfort — they help define you, and that makes you feel secure. But Cancer, if you’re so proud to be an oddball, why are you so unhappy? This is just a mood, and it’ll pass, but rethink your position today. It might really help to make some small but important changes. Maybe you’re not who you used to be, and you’ve grown into someone new and even more unique. You just didn’t notice the shift until the status quo started chafing.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Action and positive change are your keywords today. You really want to make a difference in the world, and you know exactly how to make it happen. But you’re operating under some serious idealism that may blind you to important details. Don’t just randomly spout wisdom — gather the facts before making any moves. In fact, make sure you check with people on what they really need, because you could find you’ve got the wrong idea altogether. Right now, it’s easy to trip and fall. Be careful.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

You’re a can-do lone wolf on a mission, ready to take impossible chances against all odds. A project urges you to take a brand-new, untried approach to resolving it. Or maybe you want wipe the slate clean and take it in an entirely new direction. If the way is clear to experiment, go ahead and follow your instincts. You’ll swim or sink on your own, and that’s fine by you.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Your natural diplomacy opens an important discussion among your friends and acquaintances. Once again, you’ve succeeded in bringing people together — even those who thought they had nothing at all in common. Now the stage is set to get something truly meaningful accomplished. Your optimism helps everyone, because it invites luck to back up your efforts. Success is yours as innovations are chosen and put into motion.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

You’re asking some strange questions. Others think you have morbid curiosity. Maybe they’ll accuse you of browsing for gossip or starting urban legends. If you smile at someone else’s misfortune, they’ll say you have a perverse sense of justice. How could they believe such things about you? You think of yourself as a scientist or humorist, not a snoop or meddler. Protesting too loudly will only make it worse.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Ready for things to get a little weird? You’d better say yes because just when you’re thinking you have it all figured out, fortune will dump a bucket of possibilities in your lap. Give these newfangled ideas a chance, even if all you have are old-fashioned strategies. You’ll be cued up for some major discoveries today as long as you approach the whole thing as a joyous project.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Your daylight methods may or may not work on the other side of sundown, which means that whatever it is you’re preoccupied with now, a relationship, maybe, or some tricky business at the office. Test things carefully before making any moves. Your best bet at the moment is to use your usual, tried-and-true method of observation, analysis, and careful planning. You’d hate to be blind sided by the consequences.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Just because you decide to go your own way doesn’t mean that anything goes. Firmly set your boundaries about what’s fun and what’s not. If you need privacy, find ways of taking care of business where others can’t watch you work. If you have a vision that you’d like to share, you’ll have many chances to trot it out today. Just don’t expect everyone to see what you see.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

The world is a strange and unpredictable place at the moment, and your own unique streak is sparking to life and wants to come out and play with the others. The only trouble is, your unconventional ways are almost entirely unconscious. Today you’ll feel too shy to show off, but you should take this as an opportunity to embrace your inner weirdo. It’s okay to be different, you know. In fact, it’s a wonderful thing, because that’s what makes you who you are.
