Aries — Today is a 7 — You can start enjoying yourself around now; the odds are in your favor. Check out an interesting suggestion. Listen to your family. No need to decide yet.

Taurus — Today is an 8 — A little effort restores harmony. A female soothes ruffled tempers. A balanced checkbook is only part of it. Make love and romance a priority.

Gemini — Today is a 7 — You’re really learning now. Consult with your team. Send off the paperwork for a raise in funding. Saving resources can be easy. Play with friends.

Cancer — Today is a 9 — If you can put up with an offensive tone, you can do well. You’re full of ideas for making money. Only use what you have, and keep your eye on the ball.

Leo — Today is an 8 — The shyness is only temporary. You’re a true leader now, with increasing influence. Trust your intuition to solve any puzzles along the way. You know what to do.

Virgo — Today is a 6 — Your best move could be a well-thought-out surprise. Just say what’s on your mind. You’re wiser than you may realize. Big stories are proof of that.

Libra — Today is a 9 — You’re sociable today and tomorrow, which plays to your advantage. Friends help you open new doors and discover new treasures. You level up.

Scorpio — Today is an 8 — You’re being tested, but there’s no need to worry. Follow your heart. You’ll do fine. Friends and finances don’t mix well for now.

Sagittarius — Today is a 6 — Relationships may require patience right now. Focus on what you have rather than on what you’re missing. Don’t worry. Be open to happy surprises.

Capricorn — Today is an 8 —You can make it happen as long as you stay strong and avoid the usual distractions. Be open to new ideas, and be willing to reinvent yourself.

Aquarius — Today is a 9 — Create new opportunities with your team for the next couple of days. If you don’t have a team, join one, or invent one. Focus on abundance.

Pisces — Today is a 9 — Hit the ground running to tackle projects as they come to you. There’s no time for distractions since there’s more work coming in. Allow for different points of view.
