This is the perfect day to call a parent or a parent figure to check in and show your concern. This is not a telephone ad for long-distance -- I am genuinely suggesting that you call someone to show you care. Even if you call collect, it's still shows that you're thinking about them. Right?

Your imagination is in overdrive today. Expect to daydream, fantasize and have imaginary conversations in your head. This isn't wasting time. Everybody needs to do this now and then. Talk about your fantasies, and dreams and ideals. Others will be more receptive than you think.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You want to buy something gorgeous, lovely and luxurious. If you can afford it, it's a good idea. Today's Moon in Taurus promotes your appreciation of beauty. And Mercury's relationship with Neptune makes you hunger for the most comfortable purchase you can afford.

Ideas come to you today out of the ether. It's like you're thinking on another level. This is the perfect day to write poetry or study art, religion, music and spiritual topics. Your mind wants to transcend the ordinary. Who knows? You might even get out the old Ouija board. (Woo woo.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a lovely day for meditation, contemplation, yoga or just sitting quietly somewhere where you can listen to the sound of the wind. Don't try to do anything that requires disciplined thinking. This day is better spent in daydreaming and relaxation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Important people in your life might have the financial wherewithal to throw a little money around. Today you might wish you could do this too. What is really at play here is a feeling of wistfulness on your part. A feeling of "what if."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You need respect, and you generally get it because you are generous to loved ones. This year you will wrap up many activities that you have been involved in for the last decade.
