Feeling excessive? Impractical? Like if it's not worth a risk, it's not worth anything at all? It's not as if you've never, ever felt this way before, but right now you have it bad. You have an ailment characterized by the inability to do anything at all in moderation. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) it's temporary. Get busy.

You're still not even considering what it might be like to be mellow and you've been up late for the past couple of nights. Well, you'd better have coffee on hand and be able to sneak in a nap this afternoon, because you won't be getting to bed any earlier this evening. In fact, with your current energy and desire to live it up, you'll be able to convince a special someone it's okay to stay up with you.

Well, get ready for action, because you have enthusiasm to spare and enough drive to get cracking on all your projects. Still, even if you're with others who only want to play, you can put this energy to good use. Why not make a party of tackling the yard work or starting on the room you've been dying to redo? There's no time like the present to put your plans in gear.

You usually run your financial show on a tight budget, even if you don't need to. And that goes for all aspects of your life, whether it's the groceries, the necessities or the entertainment. So when you let the world know that you're ready to spend some money for real, don't expect them to take the news without batting an eyelash. They'll be amazed and astounded as will the lucky person you're lavishing with attention.

You were taken a bit off guard by a dear one's behavior yesterday, but that's nothing compared to what a family member is about to pull off today. Does that mean you should automatically give in and let them have their way? Not at all. So if you feel like you won't sleep tonight unless you do what you can to help, be sure to get the whole story. That way, you'll feel justified in whatever you decide.

It's a given that whenever you open your mouth, the truth will reveal itself. It might emerge bluntly and unceremoniously at times, but it's definitely going to be the truth. So when someone asks you today to let them know your thoughts about a certain issue, warn them before you answer or at least ask them if they're sure they want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Otherwise, pass.

You're still not in the mood to do anything. Not one single thing especially if it involves anything more energetic than choosing a video from a list of three, or deciding what to do about a dinner entree from a list of two. Don't beat yourself up about it. You, of all people, are perfectly entitled to take a day off from the world. Do it guiltlessly. It's about time, isn't it?

How do you manage to be extravagant, excessive, lavish and secretive at the same time? Well, first off, if anyone can, it's definitely imaginative little you. It's also going to be a lot easier and a lot more fun to pull off if you're smiling innocently at your sweetheart while you phone in your reservation for that limo. If the two of you work together, so much the better. You'll just love that quizzical look on their face.

Money can't buy happiness or so they say. To most of us, however, it certainly can buy a rather pleasant evening, especially if we're trying to spoil a dear one who's been nothing but good to us. In your case, it's an intimate someone you want to do it up for, and nothing that's nothing is out of the question. Spend a bit more than you ordinarily might. Think of the memory you'll be creating.

Someone you love has been gone for a long, long time at least, that's what it feels like to your heart. Whether it's been a day, a week or a year, and whether they're a few miles away or on a different coast, you need to do something to close the gap between you. Start with the phone. Grab it, and use it this time. No fair hanging up before you have a chance to start dialing. They're missing you too.

One of several scenarios is about to unfold, so prepare yourself. A) You may receive a call from someone you haven't heard from in forever, who'll beg you to just jump on a plane and visit. B) You'll have an argument with a dear one about money, and you know how you hate those. C) A casual encounter will result in a not-so-casual embrace. Better think about it before you make a move. Really.

Don't give up on finding some excitement just yet. You have a brand-new day ahead of you a day can make quite a difference. Here's a tip: Everyone will be in the mood to do something unusual, something they've never, ever done. You being you, of course, means you'll want to take that urge to the nth degree. Just think of how interesting anyone you meet under this influence will be.
