It's time to be your own drill sergeant. Go ahead and discipline yourself. Don't inflict discipline in a mean way, but "tough love" is just fine. Is there some work you've been avoiding, an awkward conversation you've been putting off, or some other activity you've been pretending you don't have to deal with? Well, it isn't going anywhere, so you do have to deal with it. Take a deep breath and dive right in. Get this over with.

Anger can be a tricky emotion. Sure, it can get someone's attention, but it can also push them away. Nevertheless, it's a legitimate emotion and one that you need to get more comfortable with. So if something or someone ticks you off today, don't suppress how you feel. Express your anger in a clear, calm way, and don't concern yourself with how your words might sound. Often, just getting it out into the world helps it go away. Expression is necessary to happiness.

If you've been waiting for a time to sway someone to your way of thinking, you could have the perfect opportunity today. When everyone is at a loss about what to do, you should toss in your ideas. Take them with you into your creative mind. You can inspire them with your most off-the-wall thinking. Convince them that taking the path of least resistance is no longer the smartest way to go. Your energy and enthusiasm will inspire others.

You've been going full steam ahead for a long time. Have you forgotten how to completely relax? To your credit, you've been trying to mellow out, but your efforts so far aren't giving you the full rest you desperately need. You're going to have to work harder to stop working! Turn off the phone, cancel a meeting, and schedule some quiet time. If possible, an entire day needs to be set aside for your personal relaxation. Just coast for a while.

There could be a lot of vibrant, positive communication hovering around you today. This energy will enable long, fascinating conversations to evolve out of modest small talk quite easily. You might not be feeling especially loquacious or social right now, but if you force yourself to strike up a quick hello, you won't be disappointed. Give it a try. Opening yourself up is a very good thing now.

You are shrewd to try to negotiate through a potentially tense situation, but you also have to know when it's time to bring out the big guns or you could get a reputation as a bit of a pushover. There is absolutely no reason to tolerate someone being arrogant or rude to you, so don't be shy about sticking up for yourself if you feel you're being treated poorly. Compromising yourself for the sake of someone else is a lose/lose situation.

There is a ton of high energy circulating around you right now, and you will be feeding off the good vibes. You’ll be eager to move ahead with your goals and ambitions, and this tendency could intensify as the day goes on. The rewards could be great if you’re willing to put in the hard work. Gradually, a plan will come together and you’ll have the vision and determination to succeed.

Dive headfirst into the day. You have all the energy you need to stay focused and disciplined. You'll know answers to questions that haven't even been asked yet. It's a great day to prepare a big presentation or get in some solid research, although you should still be sure to squeeze in some fun stuff. Physical activity is highly recommended because it will build on that energy and you'll know you're doing your body good.

Every once in a while you get a sudden warm feeling about your life. It's like the universe is giving you a reassuring hug, reminding you that you're special. Take this feeling for the gift it is and don't shrug it off. A family member needs you to be at your best, and unless you truly understand that you're in the right place in your life, you won't be able to give them the attention they need. Helping them will create great happiness.
