Aries (March 21-April 19)
The recent public scrutiny TTC employees have been subjected to has tempers flying and backs up on both sides of the fare booth. Maybe it's catching, too, because you won't have to look hard to find some finger-pointing and name-calling in your own life, either. You simply can't spare the energy for these political games today, Aries. Stay focused on yourself.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is definitely going to score high on the awkward scale when you think (maybe?) that a friend may have some ulterior motives. When is a movie not just a movie? And is it normal for friends to give friends flowers? These are tough questions; just make sure that your own intentions are crystal clear.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
It's time to stop playing along and pretending to get what people are talking about when you really have no clue. I mean, that was alright in high school when everybody was doing it and there was only really one guy who had actually listened to Zeppelin II by Grade Nine, but it won't fly anymore. Try asking for some clarification today and you'll be surprised at home much you learn.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Don't get too chummy with the boss today, Cancer. The possibility for all sorts of misconstrued messages is way high today even though I'm sure that you weren't trying to offer any tit-for-tat when you asked if there was anything, anything at all, that you could get. Even more important than your professional rapport with your boss is the one with your co-workers. So, yeah, just keep to yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug 22)
Remember the unveiling of a the tallest building in the world in Dubai last month? Well, the lookout deck has been shut down already and there's no word on why or for how long. Let that be a lesson to you, Leo. Not that you're necessarily planning the next tallest building, but you do tend to shoot for the stars when your ammo can only reach some low cloud cover at best. Be realistic today.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22)
Let's say that you're Peyton Manning and you just lost the Super Bowl. Well, it's going to be a tough couple of weeks, but eventually you'll pull yourself together and start thinking ahead to next season. Now take a look at your own circumstances. Disappointing? Sure. The end of your season? Not even close. Make the necessary adjustments and keep on trucking.
Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22)
Do you remember when you could avoid waiting by the phone by just going out? Probably not. There used to be a time when people didn't have cellphones, you see, and you would only be able to talk to them if they happened to be home. Crazy! Still, you might want to try leaving your phone at home today before the stress of waiting for that call from a certain special person drives you completely mad.
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
You know what? I think you've had it with stress for now. Yup, you are ready to just get rid of it all, no matter the price. Do what you have to do today to feel like yourself again. Catch up on the celeb gossip, pamper yourself, go shopping, lose yourself in crossword puzzles — whatever it is, do it up.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
Hey, the Superman movie premiered on this date in 1953 — you should rent it. Seriously, you're ready to let your career coast along on auto-pilot for the next little while, so you can catch up on the rest of your life. Starting indulging in your love of pop culture and make up for lost time.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)
Barack Obama has put the kibosh to the moon mission, leaving many of NASA's best and brightest in the lurch. Everywhere you look, in fact, it seems like budgets are getting cut and downsizing is still the dominant buzzword. Fear not though, Capricorn, because there is no end in sight for your own prosperity. Just try not to gloat today.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 19)
Take advantage of unexpected social and business contacts today to do some networking. You're particularly charming and well-spoken (even for you) these days, so you might as well make the most of it. Just make sure to keep things professional — that's right, drinks at the strip club probably not the best idea.
Pisces (Feb 20-March 20)
Sometimes not actually having a plan pays off. Sure, that could mean you haven't been putting anything into RRSPs and you have zero job security and you can forget about benefits or a regular raise — that's all true. But because of all that, you're on the lookout for the next big breakthrough opportunity that will change the course of your life. Look extra hard today.
