GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be pulled into another's orbit today despite your intentions to the contrary. This is a different way to get what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may want to give yourself over to the external forces that are pressing in on you, as you have little fight in you at this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Thoughts return again and again today to something you did with an old friend that was forgotten long ago. You can reclaim some of that glory!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your care for others expands exponentially today, and you'll find yourself in a situation that gives you just as much as you grant them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It may be difficult for you to focus on key issues today -- but then, what's the hurry? The problems you must solve will wait until you're ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may claim not to understand the ins and outs of a certain key issue, but you're underestimating yourself. You know what's what!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Self-satisfaction isn't what you thought it would be today; you're more in need of some validation from someone else -- and you may have it.
