No one wants to hear, “I can’t find my jeans” when you’re late getting out the door. Remember that all the summer fun doesn’t have to stop just because school has started.

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac. And today, it will behoove you to keep on top of details related to inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues today. Why? Because something unpredictable might occur that affects you. Be game or be lame.

Relations with partners and close friends are full of surprises today. Someone might suggest something unusual that will make you put on your game face so that it looks like you're not caught off guard. ("I knew that.") You might meet someone unusual today.

Your work routine will be interrupted with computer crashes, cancelled meetings, staff shortages or something unexpected. This applies to any tasks that you set yourself today or to your slave-wage job. For some, unexpected news related to your health will occur. "I'm pregnant?"

Today you want to play things low key behind the scenes; nevertheless, because your moods are changeable, and you feel a bit restless - you will attract some unusual energy. The fact is that your psychic abilities are quite highly tuned today. "I see live people."

This is an interesting day to schmooze with others, especially in group situations. You might meet someone new. A female friend or acquaintance might do or say something that surprises you. ("You're pregnant?") Listen to others because you might hear something that causes you to change your goals.

Your need for independence and freedom might call attention to you today. In fact, people in authority seem to know certain details about your private life that might surprise you. Nevertheless, it won't hold you back from doing your own thing. Be careful about provoking an unexpected response from authority figures.
