There seems to be a trend going on around you. People are using their charm to get what they want while you are doing things the old fashioned way -- you are working for them! Instead of getting yourself all worked up over this unfairness, why not consider joining in on the game? After all, you have ten times more charm than anybody else has right now, so why not utilize it to open doors, start conversation with important people, and help you get one step closer to reaching your goals?
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
You've got the kind of energy that some people might find intimidating right now, yet they just won't be able to stay away. People want to connect with you more than ever now, and the way you're shining, it's no mystery why. You have the inside track on a new venture or hip new trend, and quite a few people want in on the secret. Divulge this information slowly, so you can keep yourself in a more powerful position. Don't spill all the beans at once.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
More than on any other single day in your recent past, letting things go today will make you feel oh-so-good. This is a great day to lighten your emotional load and say farewell to grudges, anger and control issues. Step back from all the decision-making responsibilities you have held onto for so long -- let someone else make the plans and do the worrying! While you're at it, forgive that friend who keeps messing things up. They're doing their best, and they'll be coming around soon enough.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
There are some issues brewing around your home, but they won't come to the surface until later today. The problems could have something to do with your home's physical structure, but they could just as easily have something to do with the bond between the people living within those four walls. If you are having a hard time getting along with a sibling or a roommate, tonight might be when everything comes to a head. The good news is that it won't be as awkward as you fear.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
Public opinion is strongly on your side, right now. Pretty much anything you suggest, no matter how outlandish or odd it might seem, will be adopted and accepted. This places you in an ideal position to lead your coworkers or your friends toward the right option. Others will agree with you. Nobody will be too concerned if there are no immediate results, so do not put undue pressure on yourself. They have more patience than you do, which is probably not that unusual!
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
Boredom simply cannot be tolerated right now -- you need stimulation and you need it now! Deep and meaningful conversations are nice to have, but today you are itching for more of a fight. Disagreements will be over trivial, fun matters -- but they will provide you with excellent practice as to how to plead your case. Thinking on your feet is one of your best skills, and it is one you haven't used in a while. You'll have fun coming up with comebacks and arguments.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
You have an extra-strong appreciation of beauty today, so it's a wonderful time to go out and enjoy the things you usually find most beautiful. Flowers, art, landscapes, the beach and other kinds of natural beauty will be especially welcome to your wide-open, receptive eyes. Heck, even the things (and the people) you don't think are particularly attractive will have a certain aesthetically pleasing effect. And if you're about to go on a first date, your attraction to the other person will be greater, too.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
As you achieve an increased awareness of the world around you, you will also be privy to an increased awareness of the problems that exist. This education is awakening, for you. You have the feeling, more and more, that you have an important responsibility to be a solution to the problem. Get involved in helping the community, and you will find you have a stronger sense of hope than ever before. The world is a beautiful place, even if the beauty takes some effort to see.
Sagittarius - November 22-December 21
They say that laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes medicine is the best medicine! Make sure you're up to date on your health. If it's been a while since you have had a checkup, schedule one today. Your happiness and emotional health can be affected by your physical health, so take care of yourself! It's a good idea to check in on your diet today too -- you have let a few things slide, and it's time for you to go back to being a little bit more disciplined.
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
Try to welcome today's challenges with open arms. After all, it's not the sunshiney days and super-good times that bring you life's most important lessons -- it's the barriers and the unpleasant surprises that help you see what you are really made of. So when something tough hits your radar today, try to accept it with all of your heart. See that glass as half full. Today might not be the best day of your life, it will offer many chances for you to test your mettle -- and impress yourself.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
New energy is coming your way today, in the form of a very charming person from a different culture. Their gestures of kindness and words of wisdom will make you feel welcomed and respected. You will also feel empowered by the trust they have obviously put into you. Spend extra time talking to them and exchanging ideas -- even if you just talk about a banal topic like the weather, having a sweet conversation will brighten your day and leave you both smiling.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
There are many different paths for you to follow today, but don't waste your time trying to figure out which one to switch to. You can't pick a path today -- it will pick you! And don't be disappointed if the stars say that you need to continue on the path you are already on. Just because it is familiar to you does not mean that it won't offer you a lot of opportunity for growth. Give things a chance -- sometimes the same-old, same-old can offer some wonderful new surprises! Just you wait.
Black tape is being stuck on public servants' desks in England's north-east to show them where to put their keyboards and pens - at a cost of £7million ($A17million). Union officials slammed consultant Unipart's expensive efficiency drive as madness and added: "It's demoralising and demeaning."
