HOROSCOPES

The first half of the day may not be the best time for doing anything that requires a lot of detail, concentration or energy. We might find it much easier to handle tasks that require minimal effort instead. It could also be a good time for doing something thoughtful or kind for others, as the desire to give back will be strong. Toward the latter part of the day, the vibe shifts. We may find ourselves feeling a lot more focused and clearer, which bodes well for tackling projects we may have not been in the mood for earlier.
