You’ve been on the horns of a dilemma for weeks, but today you can finally see your way clear. Get a friend or sibling on the line to talk over your decision, or just jot down your thoughts in a journal. Now is the right time to tackle this from a different angle.

Try as you might, you just can’t seem to shake your intense emotions today. Instead of ignoring the issues by zoning out with The Jersey Shore or a pint of Haagen Dazs, give yourself some time to pine. There may be a message in your feelings.

Don’t discount your insights when it comes to your troubled friend. Though the message may be a tough one, your honesty will be seen for what it is in the long run. As obvious as the situation seems to you, your friend just isn’t in a place to see what you see right now.

The reason you should think before you speak is not because your ideas aren’t good, but because they are. In fact, what you have to offer is so amazing that you need to think long and hard about how to convey it. Don’t let your brilliant message get lost in poor delivery.

There’s nothing quite like coming home to a spic and span place. Ensure many happy returns by doing a bit of cleaning before you start in on the weekend fun. First, tackle that pile of bills and dishes, then get out the Dyson and go at it like a ninja.

You’ve been thinking about that new elliptical machine long enough, Cancer. Just buy the thing already! You’ve crunched all the numbers and the purchase makes good sense, so take advantage of Labor Day sales to make an investment in yourself.
