Retreating from public view may be reassuring. Although you enjoy getting lots of attention, being in the spotlight can sometimes be exhausting. You’ll benefit from keeping your thoughts and feelings to yourself today. Some of your loved ones may object to your reclusive behavior, but you shouldn’t feel pressured to be present. You have needs now that they may not understand.

A friend could be the source of some valuable spiritual guidance today. Even if this person isn't someone you normally take advice from, you’ll recognize the wisdom of their words. It's critical that you make more time for activities that soothe your soul now. Reducing your workload to make time to pray, meditate, or commune with nature is vital to your overall happiness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may receive sweet recognition today for your contributions to your workplace or community. People appreciate your humane approach, which is soothing in a seemingly indifferent world. If this acknowledgement comes with some kind of cash prize or bonus, consider paying it forward and sharing it with those who are less fortunate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Delving into a subject that you love is fulfilling to both your mind and soul. Today, though, your assumptions may be challenged by a writer or teacher in your area of interest. While you probably won’t abandon all your beliefs overnight, they could alter significantly after assimilating this new information. This change to your way of life may be surprising to others, but this isn't about them, this is about your personal growth. The more open your mind is, the more opportunities you are able to realize.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A chance to join forces with someone very close, like a best friend or romantic partner, may arrive today. You’ll welcome an opportunity to share duties with a kind, compassionate person. Because you're so well connected, there may be lots of unspoken communication with this alliance. Instead of articulating your concerns, you sense each other's needs and wishes, which can save tremendous time and aggravation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may feel a strong psychic link today with a very close friend, lover, or creative partner. Although they have a vivid imagination, this person may have difficulty explaining what they are thinking of. That’s where you can be helpful: You can use your excellent communication skills to express their ideas. In a job situation, though, be careful; your precision could rub an authority figure the wrong way. A supervisor may accuse you of being too fussy, but stick to your guns.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Exploring alternative healing therapies could be beneficial today. The important thing is to start treating the source of your distress, rather than the symptoms, but methods like aromatherapy, Reiki, or acupressure may bring some much-needed relief now. A different cultural approach to wellness may seem strange at first, but it could also be effective. Keep an open mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Finding something to devote your love and attention to could give your spirits a much-needed lift. A passionate person like you needs a point of focus. When you become obsessed with a new plan, project, or idea, you’ll pursue it to the ends of the Earth. If you discover a creative medium that sets your imagination on fire, you’ll practice it until you achieve mastery. Even if a disappointing outcome in the past makes you reluctant to take a risk, push past these fears and go where your heart leads. You’re happiest when living on the edge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Even a rolling stone like you needs a comfortable nest, so don't ignore a desire to establish some roots today. If you’re not happy with your current living situation, start envisioning where you would like to reside. Picture every possible detail. When you’re able to see, smell, taste, feel, and hear what your ideal home will be, you put manifesting energies out to the universe. Someone close to you may be skeptical about this approach to attracting what you want, so keep your methods to yourself and set your sights on a positive outcome.

If you can conceive it, you can achieve it. When developing a plan, stop lingering over all your doubts and, instead, assume everything will work out better than you imagine. The more confidence you generate, the easier it will be to surpass your expectations. Someone with a more pessimistic outlook may try to discourage you from pursuing this goal, but this isn't their path, it's yours. You have an innate talent for achieving success against all odds and this situation is no different.

Trust your instincts about increasing your income. While many others are playing it safe with finances in these uncertain times, you’re willing to take a few risks. Introducing an innovative new product or service could be profitable. Or, perhaps you decide to adopt a unique business model, like giving away free samples or appointments. Customers could quickly become addicted to what you have to offer and will be happy to pay good money for it. If you need seed money, look into applying for a loan or program that's geared toward entrepreneurs like you.

It’s more important than ever to listen to your intuition. Your family may be trying to discourage you from pursuing your heart’s desire today. Although you’re nearest and dearest mean well, they don’t understand your need to lead an extraordinary life. It’s more satisfying for you to pursue an unconventional job or cultivate an unusual lifestyle than obey the status quo. Fortunately, your friends understand you better. Lean on them for moral support when it comes to making a courageous decision. In the end, it will make everyone happy to see that you're happy.
