Today's Top Features

You are awfully good at taking care of yourself -- but have you been overdoing it just a little bit lately? Be brutally honest with yourself today, and the answer just might be 'yes'. You need to deter your selfish urges and think of other people first for a little while -- if for no other reason than to put some more positive points into your karma account. You can start small -- hold the door for someone. Pay the toll for the car behind you. Little things mean a lot.

Your health might become an issue today -- all of the long hours spent working and short hours spent sleeping are starting to catch up to you. Take a break today and sleep in, if you can. Eat a hearty, healthy breakfast. Make sure you get in a good long walk or some other kind of exercise. And emotionally-speaking, you might need to get something off your chest before the day is over. Speak up and resolve an issue that's been ongoing with an inconsiderate person.

Long ago you stopped believing that if you stepped on a crack you'd break your mother's back -- or that opening an umbrella indoors was going to bring bad luck. So why are you holding on to old superstitions about romance? There are no tricks to pull or mistakes to avoid -- all you need to do is communicate your feelings clearly and calmly. Stop playing games and reading books to know what to do. Your heart knows what to do, so you should start listening to it.

This is a day of opposites attracting and differing ideas coming together. What you think is not going to match up with what your favorite person thinks, which could create some interesting conversations. All of this complicated verbal communication will reveal your deeper self to them, and what they see will only intrigue them more. So do not shy away from taboo topics, and do not be afraid to lay it all out on the line. There's pretty much nothing you can say that could shock them, although why not try?

Not everyone is as good a friend as you, and you need to understand that. The art of friendship is hard for some to master, so be patient with people who don't always know how to act. If someone flakes out on you, forgets an important date, or puts their needs ahead of yours, cut them some slack. You should still take the opportunity to set them straight and educate them about how to be a better relationship partner, but you also need to give them time to learn.

Be a little bit more extravagant today -- with time, money, patience, and energy. Schedule in more time to be with the people you love. Buy a special person a special gift. Give that certain someone a little bit more time to get back to you. Help a stranger carry their heavy baggage. You have a lot you can give, so you should give it a little bit more dramatically than you normally would. It will make you feel lucky to have so much when so many others have so little.

You've been in charge so long, so why not give yourself a break today? Let the other person in your relationship take the wheel for a while. It's time for you to kick back and put your feet up while someone else worries about how you're going to get to where you need to go. Relationships are about balancing power, so it's okay for you to let the scales tip in their direction now. Balance is extremely important right now, and it is one of the few final elements to incorporate into your life.

The excitement you feel for an upcoming event is making it very difficult for you to exercise any patience today, but there won't be any way to accelerate the hours. When it's time, it's time -- until then, you need to keep yourself busy. Call up a friend and find out what is new in their world. Pick up around the house or your office. Run a few errands you've been putting off. Keeping busy is the only way to make it at least seem like time is moving faster.

Rely on your more outgoing tendencies to stir up some fun today! These hyper-social feelings don't come around very often, so make the most of them by talking to strangers, flirting with bashful people and just generally drumming up some good times. It takes courage to break out of your shell and speak out, and you should be proud that it's sometimes so easy for you to do. Start a controversial conversation today and watch the drama unfurl. Get something started!

Trends, fashion and pop culture are a valid part of your life, but if you make them your first priority right now, they will use up energy and money that could be better spent elsewhere. Today, focus your efforts and thoughts on things that are more permanent. The latest fads are good for a bit of entertainment -- but that's about it. Your morals and your personal philosophy need attention right now. You need to swing the pendulum back in the direction of substance and away from style.

It's all well and good to talk about your philosophies and share ideas with others, but today all of this intellectual talking and thinking might just be holding you back from actually getting any real work done. You might think that daily errands and the other humdrum tasks of daily life might not hold a great deal of intriguing or exciting opportunities, but you would be wrong if you did so. All the stimulation your mind needs is written right on your 'to do' list.

It's time to infuse your daily routine with some new energy that helps you stay more efficient. This could come in the form of a new computer, a new phone, or even just a new handheld gadget that helps you keep track of all your friends and your appointments. Your old techniques and resources are getting kind of tattered and ineffectual, and now more than ever you need to stay ahead of the curve. If your finances are tight, look for sales and bargains online.
