Mystikaleidoscopes

ARIES

You have a reputation for speaking your mind, and with Pluto, planet of passion, aspecting Mercury, planet of communication, you'll go out of your way to live up to it. However, if you stray too far from the facts today, you'll be the one who is the topic of conversation - and what others say may not be pleasant.

TAURUS

Not only are both the sun and Mercury transiting your birth sign at the moment, but today they aspect Pluto, planet of power. What that means, in plain and simple language, is that this isn't a good time to say or do anything that might meet with the disapproval of those in positions of power. In other words, don't push your luck.

GEMINI

You're sure to tread on someone's toes today, and the consequences could be painful for both of you. This is going to be one of those days when minor differences escalate rapidly into major disputes, so if you catch yourself trading insults with someone over something of a trivial nature, just shut your mouth and walk away.

CANCER

The most important thing today is that you act as if you care, even if you don't. That might sound dishonest, but partners and colleagues are looking to you to raise their spirits and if you're as nice a person as they say you are, you'll tell them what they need to hear. You'll commit bigger sins than telling the occasional white lie.

LEO

You're never afraid to be controversial, and usually it works in your favor, but today you might go a bit too far and make an enemy of someone who is more than a match for you. With both the sun, your ruler, and Mercury, planet of communication and the mind, at odds with Pluto, planet of power, you must be very careful what you say.

VIRGO

You'll be highly motivated today. You'll be determined to get things done. However, take care that in your haste to make a name for yourself at work, you don't neglect the needs of those you love. With Pluto, planet of passion, but also of vengeance, aspecting Mercury, your ruler, you run the risk of turning friends and family against you.

LIBRA

You may not be able to do much yourself today, but you can help a friend or colleague get his week off to a perfect start, and later on he'll return the favor and help you to overcome some kind of creative or mental block. In a nutshell: Be kind to others and they will be kind to you - isn't that what life's all about?

SCORPIO

The time has come to break up some kind of partnership or relationship, most likely of a financial nature. It won't be easy, but deep down, you know it must be done if you're to make the most of your talents. Don't feel guilty that the other party is not thrilled by this development. In the long run, it will be as good for him as it is for you.

SAGITTARIUS

Pluto in your birth sign, at odds with both the sun and Mercury, demands that you be totally and utterly honest with yourself about what it is you want and what you'll have to do to get it. And if you come to the conclusion that the price you have to pay is too high, then simply lower your sights and aim for something less demanding.

CAPRICORN

Be careful how you react to criticism as the week begins because if you let your rivals see that your feelings are hurt, they'll go out of their way to say more annoying and unpleasant things. This is one of the best times of the year for getting things done and for simply enjoying yourself. Don't let anyone burst your bubble.

AQUARIUS

You find it hard to be modest, and with good reason: Aquarians are, after all, the most talented people in the zodiac. But today, at least, you'd be wise not to draw attention to your intellectual superiority because the planets warn there's something you've missed, something that could make you look silly if the outside world gets to know about it.

PISCES

It will be easy to get discouraged today, especially when you contemplate the gap between your dreams and reality. The best way to counter this sort of depression is to throw yourself into an activity that you really enjoy. It doesn't have to be anything important, just something that takes your mind off your worries. You'll feel happier tomorrow.
