Daily Astroscope
         
  Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
You might have a problem that gets between your career and your family obligations. Of course you do the right thing, but it may turn out to be for the best in pretty much every way once it's all behind you.
  Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
You can depend on your people today - they should come through for you in a way that reinforces your faith in them. Plans are firm and nobody should be late unless it's inescapable.
 
         
  Gemini (May 21-Jun 21)
You're not in the loop - but nobody else is, at least not consciously! You may find that there's a lot more going on under the surface of your interactions than usual, but you may not understand it until next week
  Cancer (Jun 22-Jul 22)
You are feeling a little out of sync with your public persona, but that just might mean you need to cloister yourself for a bit. Sometimes you need to have some downtime to recharge your batteries.
 
         
  Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
You're asked to do something that is far beneath your dignity today, though it may not seem outrageous on its face. You respect yourself too much to say no, and you feel even better as a result!
  Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)
You can really work hard when you need to, and if that's been the case lately, expect a reward commensurate with your level of exhaustion today. Your great personal energy helps you accept graciously.
 
         
   
         
  Libra (Sep 23-Oct 23)
Revisit an old injury today - emotional or physical. You should find yourself better equipped to handle it, and even to heal it, but you may find that you have to move through some difficult territory first.
  Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 21)
You and your people need a fair amount of discipline to get to he finish line today - and your good energy should be all you need! It's easier than ever to keep yourself undistracted and on target.
 
         
  Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
Your mind can't escape your financial situation - even if it's never been better! You may want to make a little more at work, or you may want to pay down some debt. Whatever it is, go for it soon!
  Capricon (Dec 22-Jan 19)
You work hard, but often you don't get the recognition you deserve. Today brings a reward or chunk of praise your way, and you are as gracious as ever. It's a good day for reflection.
 
         
  Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
It's far too easy for you to fiddle your day away on unimportant tasks and time-wasters, so if you need to get stuff done today, make sure that you're using every trick you've got to stay on point.
  Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Your life just got a little easier - and you didn't do a thing! Your place in the universe is a little more exalted than usual for today, so don't be surprised if people treat you like royalty.
