You're more observant than usual, especially when you stand to benefit from your discoveries. Your eyes are open wide and nothing escapes your gaze. This is a great day for detective work. You find it easy to stay one step ahead of those around you. You shine with an inner light. The excitement that surrounds you motivates everyone else to have a more positive attitude.

The chickens are coming home to roost, so get out there and make sure that chicken coop is ready for guests. The sooner you deal with the past, the sooner you can get started on finding an opportunity in this situation. Avoid power struggles with someone in a position of importance later in the day. Your interests are best served when you keep smiling and make it look easy.

Sometimes things really are just as good as they look! Today you are surprised to find that the substance of an attractive person matches up to his or her image. You could fall in love easily, although why complicate a perfect friendship? The choice may not be entirely up to you. You are tempted to throw caution to the wind. Don't rush into a hasty decision -- let things develop naturally.

The more you strive to be number one, the less fun you seem to be having. Is this really how you want to be spending your time? Rethink your priorities and goals to make your life more enjoyable. Nobody's perfect, so why do you expect it of yourself? Call up old friends or family and do some heavy-duty relaxing today. It's the cure for what ails you.

You begin to understand a vast, underlying pattern later in the day. It's even easier to excel when you understand why it's happening. Your abilities and desires come together in a perfect match. Your coworkers look on with a mixture of awe and envy. When you're on fire like this, no one needs to fan the flames of your success. This is the perfect time to get your ideas out of your head and into the right hands.

Are you the hunter or the hunted today? Sometimes your position changes depending upon what you (or the other party) are looking for. It's a good thing you like this game (and are so good at it), but make sure you don't take it too seriously. That means no lashing out at folks who don't get the rules of how this situation works as quickly as you do. Work on winning allies right now.

Get ready to be a part of the action today. You enter a period of leadership where all eyes will be on you. You depend on others for affirmation even as they look to you for guidance. The sooner you learn to stand on your own two feet, the better. Second-guessing yourself has no place in this new role. Delegate as many of the details as possible so that you can concentrate on your vision.

Daydreaming may serve you very well right now. Imagining a better situation is the first step toward making concrete improvements, so let your mind wander where it will. Plan out the steps in your head before committing them to paper. If the task proves to be too much for one person to handle alone, find allies to help you enact your changes. Be careful not to stay with the process you set in motion -- your leadership is needed every step of the way.

Spend some time in a natural environment today. Take a long walk in the park or visit a nature conservatory. Even sitting in your own backyard is better than staring at the television or computer screen. Your interior landscape is a pretty healthy place, but you can always freshen it up with outside influences. Be sure to leave the place as clean as it was when you arrived. Travel may be in the cards for this evening. Make sure you pack appropriately.

Old challenges turn into new obstacles today. Business issues rise to the surface as you are faced with a seemingly insurmountable hurdle. Be prepared for any contingency when asking for assistance -- you may not get much help from the people who could give it easily, so have a back-up lined up just in case. Try not to blame someone for your issues -- he or she may be having problems of which you know nothing. Get plenty of sleep tonight in preparation for tomorrow's activities.

Sometimes there's nothing you can do about a situation. Get over what you can't change, or your fixation about it will eat you alive. While it isn't like you to give up, you also know when you can't win. This is one those times. Later in the day, an unreliable associate may yet surprise you with a dependable response. Be sure to write it down or no one else will believe you. Tonight, your romantic impulses could trap you in a tight spot -- use the secret exit to escape if necessary.

Don't forget that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Yielding to temptation today might lead to a consequence that could have been easily avoided. Be especially conscious about what you eat and drink. Your health has the potential to improve greatly if you are willing to modify your diet. You may find yourself getting tired of those same old tricks your imagination keeps playing. The time has come for everyone to lay all those wild cards on the table.
