On the 1st, if you've got to say it, you've got to say it, and you're going to say it well. In fact, you're putting things so precisely right now that more than a few folks are going to really sit up and take notice the moment you open your mouth. How's that for terrific news? On the 4th, if you don't find romance, romance will find you. What did you expect? Good looks and charm like yours can't stay under the radar forever, you know! On the 6th, take your time. Then on the 9th, if a legal document comes in the mail, be very cautious about signing on the dotted line. That's not to say you shouldn't sign-just be absolutely sure you know exactly what you're getting yourself into. On the 14th, a cultural outing could do a lot to enrich your perspective. When's the last time you went to the ballet? Heck, those tutus are kind of cute! On the 19th, trust your intuition but don't leave everything to fate. That is to say, it wouldn't hurt to make a few plans. And double check your account balances while you're at it. On the 22nd, use your energies in pursuit of being of help to others. Then on the 26th, focus in on identifying your values. What do you truly care about? What do you really need in order to be happy? Chances are it's your closest relationships, not your iPod. By the 31st, you'll be ready to embark on a brand new adventure.

On the 1st, you might be feeling as if your right hand doesn't know what your left hand is doing. Maybe you're making plans to take a break from the rat race and simultaneously committing yourself to a bunch of new projects. Maybe you're resolving to let your hair grow longer as you're getting a super-short crop at the barbershop. Maybe you're sending out your resume to foreign employers as you sign the lease on a new apartment down the block. Don't panic, but do try to bring your thoughts and actions into alignment. By the 5th, you could be primed for a power struggle. Whomever you're struggling with, do your best to make sure you come out on top without doing your opponent any permanent damage. You don't want to make an enemy for life. On the 8th, an old routine may seem boring. On the 10th, you'll be very popular-it's a good thing, because you'll also be feeling very sensitive to how others perceive you. By the 15th, you'll have your two feet firmly planted on the ground. Then on the 19th, you may have to defend your emotional territory. If somebody oversteps their bounds, tell them in no uncertain terms that you don't appreciate it and won't stand for it in the future. On the 23rd, go as slowly as you need to, then indulge yourself on the 26th. You deserve it! Be as tolerant as possible of other people's foibles on the 31st.

Who ever said follow-through was the key to happiness? Okay, so your golf instructor probably did. And maybe a life coach or two mentioned it, as well. But today life is grand even though -- or maybe because -- nothing is really getting done. You aren't putting the finishing touches on a work project or that German chocolate cake you finally decided to bake. You aren't wrapping up construction on your new back porch. You haven't closed that deal, whatever it was. Instead, you're lazing around with a tall cool lemonade and just enjoying the dog days of summer, a season when, by rights, nothing much gets accomplished. On the 1st, nothing could suit you better! Then on the 5th, get ready to have a great day. By the 10th and 11th, you'll be all about calculations. Whether you are working out the sale price on that 10 percent off of 20 percent off of half off T-shirt, or adding up more important figures, you'll be your own personal abacus. On the 14th, don't preach. By the 19th, you'll be seeing things from a whole new perspective. On the 23rd, be sure to communicate, no matter what, and on the 26th, don't overeat. And on the 30th, don't let somebody moody spoil your good day. The sun is shining -- celebrate!

On the 1st, you have a whole lot on your mind. Like which party to go to this weekend! Or, as the case may very likely be, which parties plural. Which outfit should you wear? Which dance should you dance? Which energy level should you choose? Big decisions! Enjoy these summer good times while you can -- after all, all this summer sunshine only comes around once a year! On the 5th remember that the future is always ahead of you. Why not plan for it a little? Then on the 9th, everything might not be as smooth as silk, but don't stress out too much. Think of life as an azure sea; it's still beautiful, even when it's a little choppy. On the 12th, be careful of what you sign. Even if it's just one of your fans asking for an autograph, check twice before you sign on the dotted line. If you don't have a fan club, ask yourself just who this person is and what they want from you. On the 16th, things could go great -- or terribly. The difference will be up to you. On the 21st, your intuition will be your best ally, so follow its unerring insights. Then on the 25th, somebody will annoy you-try to stay cool. The 31st, your extravagant side comes to the forefront. What will you treat yourself to?

If you have one teeny tiny, itty bitty, minuscule imperfection, it's that sometimes you're just a tad headstrong. Sure, this imperfection is often one of your greatest assets, as you don't hesitate to make a move when you think it's time, and more often than not, you're right! But sometimes you don't listen to what turns out to be very valuable advice from friends and loved ones, and it costs you. On the 1st, you'll rectifying this-in a big way! Not only will you be having a total blast socializing, but you'll finally open your ears-and mind-to what the folks around you are saying. You're going to use the wisdom they impart to make this one stellar month! On the 5th, everything will be going right. On the 10th, if somebody's out to get you, be sure you've got their number, and then call them on it. The 14th is the day for some serious romance. If it doesn't come to you, go to it. How? Try arranging an extra romantic evening at home for two; that's always a good way to get a little extra loving into your life. On the 19th, flexibility will make all the difference, and on the 23rd, somebody new will change your opinion. By the 26th, make sure your social status is what you want it to be. And on the 31st, end the month with an extremely loud-and extremely positive-bang!

On the 1st, you'd be wise to bring together all of the collaborators on your pet project to go over details with a fine-tooth comb. For example, if you're on the high school reunion planning committee, did you remember to book the dance hall? Schedule the caterer? Invite the guests? Sometimes it's the big things that get overlooked as you go about the minutia of ordering dyed carnations in your school colors for the centerpieces. So attend to the big things (like making sure you've ordered the main course) and all of the little ones should fall effortlessly into place. A checklist will help you stay on the same page with everyone in the group. By the 6th and 7th, everything will be running like clockwork. What do you expect when you're in charge? Then on the 11th, your intellectual curiosity will lead you to all kinds of interesting new discoveries. The 15th and 16th bring romance your way; get ready to welcome it! On the 21st or 22nd, somebody will fudge a project in a particularly annoying way. Go easy on them-they're still learning. On the 25th and 26th, successful self-expression is going to be crucial to winning that important contract. Remember to stick to your health routine on the 31st.

If there's one word that describes your energy on the 1st, that word is good. As in way-better-than-not-bad. As in on-the-way-to-being-great. As in can't-complain-and-wouldn't-want-to. Just about everything is going your way and the smallest thing-somebody's smile, the sound of the surf on the beach, a really good cup of coffee-could tip you over into the feeling fantastic zone. Just keep your eyes and ears open and your mood buoyant, and before you know it you'll have started the month out great. On the 3rd, why not lend your keen eye for decorating to somebody who needs a little help in that department? If they've made a mess of their living room decor, you could really help just by giving them a few simple tips. The 8th and 9th, you can't go wrong, and the 13th and 14th, your innate idealism will lead you to make some very inspired business choices. By the 19th, its high time you let your creativity go to work for you-both on the job and in your personal life. On the 23rd and 24th, don't be too quick to jump ship on a relationship you think is going badly; give it time to work itself out. Then, on the 28th, make a resolution to try one new thing. It could be a museum or a sushi restaurant, but it's got to be something you've never seen, done, touched, tasted or smelled before. End the month on the 31st by focusing on the bigger picture.

On the 1st, your mind is on money, and money is on your mind. Luckily, there's a very high likelihood that you'll be thinking about ways to make more of it rather than ways to tourniquet an out of control financial loss. You're heading towards a very bright future when it comes to business schemes and the realization of financial dreams. Be sure to take a few moments this month to enjoy all of the action! On the 5th, your boss will be getting on your nerves in a major way, particularly if your boss happens to be you! This is a situation you're going to have to deal with, so try to stay calm. The 7th is a great day to plan a surprise barbecue party to celebrate a friend's recent good news. Then, on the 11th, you can do no wrong, but you can (and will) do lots of things right. That's a pretty nice situation to be in, so be sure to make the most of it. The 16th, a business deal will come to a particularly felicitous conclusion. Around the 21st, you'll really want to get creative with a partner. This intuition is right on, so grab them and grab your finger-paints and get started on a giant piece of art for the living room! The 25th you're in for a paradigm shift if you can keep an open mind. The 30th is a good time to get what you want. End the month on the 31st by reining in some of your energy. There will be plenty of time to let loose later.

There are days for taking action and getting results. Then there are days like the 1st, for lying around in the summer heat and doing a whole lot of nothing. Brew some iced tea. Check in with the office if you must-but only if you must. Otherwise, turn on the sprinklers, get out your old Slip 'n Slide and lie out on a beach towel on the front lawn. Just relax! The dog days of summer of the perfect time for it. The 5th could be a great time to take a journey. Whether it's around the corner or around the world, you'll discover a thing or two about yourself that you've always wanted to know. The 10th and 11th, if you're moody, don't fight it. Sometimes our low moments can really teach us something about who we are and what we want. It's not desirable-or healthy-to full force at all times! By the 14th, you'll feel great again. On the 19th, if the woman next to you on the bus strikes up a conversation, talk to her! Same goes for the guy on the corner and the person in cubicle next to you. Your fellow human beings have a real wealth of information to share, if you're just willing to listen! The 23rd and 24th are the best days to work up a sweat. The 26th, the only way to get what you want is to talk directly to the ones who can give it to you. Luck is on your side on the 31st. Pick those lotto numbers carefully!

On the 1st, your mind is razor sharp! As the month gets going, others may be in a summertime stupefaction, incapable of concentrating on anything more complex than their weekend waterskiing plans. But you're at the pinnacle of your game! Let everyone know, discreetly, that if they hand their stalled-out projects and stymied business plans over to you, you can untie the knots and unravel the sticky stuff. You'll be able to present them with a bright, shiny, perfectly ordered plan of attack in no time flat! And you'll be mighty popular because of it, too. The 5th is the time to turn your attention to taking good care of your emotions. Then, on 10th and 11th, a little introspection will reveal a whole lot about why you do what you do and how you do it, not to mention how and why. You might even see some paths to improvement! You'll be spending the 15th and 16th on cloud nine. Everything will be going your way, and all you'll need to do is enjoy the ride. On the 19th, go ahead and experiment. Maybe you'll want to try a new haircut or repaint your bedroom? Maybe you'll be tempted to take a new route to work? Whatever it is you decide to do, pay close attention to any improvements this change brings. The 23rd, seek stability. The 26th, get outside. Take out the trash on the 28th. And on the 31st, watch for problems in business.

You'll start the month off on the first in a super-attractive mode. By golly, you look great! That outer beauty is, naturally, being fueled by your inner beauty, and don't worry-there are plenty of people taking notice. Pick out the kindest and most compelling of the lot and strike up a conversation. Watch their eyes light up -- the sparks are about to fly! The 5th, trust your impulses and follow your instincts. You've got a keen intuitive sense and it will guide you well today. Then, on the 10th and 11th, you may have some very strong feelings about your own path, be it career or social. Where are you heading, and how are you going to get there? Most importantly, are you enjoying the ride? On the 16th, if you're tired, get more sleep! The 16th, get to the gym -- no excuses. The 18th and 19th bring high energy, and inspired ideas will lead you-and anyone on your team-down a brand new road that promises to be more rewarding than ever. Great! The 21st, you'll need to reign in your spending. The 26th, digging around in an attic could lead you to a very interesting discovery. A treasure map, perhaps? Or some of your great-grandparents' love letters? The 29th and 30th are days to stop thinking and start acting. Yep, it's high time to make a decisive move. Then, on the 31st, you'll end the month with a wild burst of creativity. You'll feel especially proud when you take in the pile of beautiful projects you've finished.
