Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Be careful about your response when someone raises a political question. Do you really want to get involved in a heated debate? Just a small disagreement could cast a shadow over your day when this might lead to the type of silly argument that seems to go on forever. If you sense contention, nip it in the bud. It will be up to you to decide whether or not some negotiations will be worth the bother.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You might try to predict where problems are going to occur so you are more prepared for what takes place today. It might seem on the surface, as if nothing is happening but there is a lot more going on in the background than you realise. In fact someone is working hard on your behalf. There will be a few difficulties to overcome until they step in and if you’re prepared for these.
.
Gemini (May22/June21) Be happy for who you are; don’t expect too much from yourself today. If something you have taken on is slightly beyond your capabilities, the passion and enthusiasm of a friend or colleague could help you turn a long held dream into reality. A friend who knows how to party is hoping you will join them in their social plans. If you’re worried about the cost, be honest about it from the start.
.
Cancer (June22/July23) The situation is erratic when it comes to relationships; so much happens so quickly. You won’t have time to give your mate or another loved one the attention they deserve. In fact have you noticed how much they need you? If possible, pause for a wee while and consider what is being said to you. Dig beneath the surface as there is something someone is trying to tell you but they can’t find the right words.
.
Leo (July24/Aug23) You are more than usually susceptible to criticism by others. Despite what they may think, you do care about what people say. If you find yourself telling someone you aren’t bothered about their opinions why not be honest and actually say how you feel? People you depend on for emotional support are quite likely to let you down when you need them most if you aren’t honest with them. A heart to heart could be a memorable exchange if you are open with each other.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) Don’t listen to other people’s moans, groans and tittle tattle. Be wary of a snippet of gossip that’s winging its way in your direction. You might have hoped to make more progress in a group venture but others are working at no better than a snail’s pace. It could be worth your while to look around for new ideas and new people who are interested in joining you. Perhaps the wrong team is working on the wrong theme and it’s about time to make some changes.
Libra (Sept24/Oct23) A joint financial transaction could be a source of conflict. It may have all started with you both having the best intentions but one of you isn’t sticking to your promises. Either you are putting in more than your share to keep to the contract or shared losses may have to be made up out of personal funds. This is not a good time for taking economic risks. Wait for information to be released through official channels before acting on what you hear.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Developments in a close relationship could make you feel as if you are in Paradise. When you’re with your special someone, nothing else seems to matter. Just being with them helps relax you and makes you feel wonderful inside. A parcel or package you’ve been waiting for could have been delivered to the wrong address. Once the problem has been recognised it shouldn’t take long before you are in receipt of the goods.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Your creative and imaginative powers are on the top line today. Giving free rein to your imagination will bring results that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. This could be a fairytale sort of time and others wouldn’t believe you if you told them all that is going on. You’re a great story teller at the best of times. Even if someone you do confide in dismisses your tales as an amusing but exaggerated version of the truth, you know differently!
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Cut yourself free from past regrets and let go of any remorse associated with these. Forgiveness is the gift you might offer yourself today; release yourself from all the emotional baggage you have been dragging around due to your reluctance to absolve yourself from blame. From a social angle you should have no complaints at all. But when it comes to a deeper and more significant relationship you have a few things to say which won’t go down very well. They do, nevertheless, need to be said.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Allow for a longer journey time if you’re thinking of travelling today. Travel companies will be operating a restricted timetable or other delays could make you wonder whether it was worth making the effort. Closer to home, a neighbourhood endeavour could sweep you and other members of your family into its net. An apology comes your way for something that has preyed on another person’s mind whereas you had all but forgotten about the incident!
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) If you’ve been inclined to shun company lately it may now seem as if friendship and companionship is lacking in your life. Or it could be a recent illness or heavy responsibilities have kept you confined to your home. Make an extra effort today, to get out and about. To do so will open up a whole new episode of possibilities and a much less lonely future. It will be necessary to explain to a relative vehemently but tactfully that you aren’t angry with them just because they disagree with you.

During the mid-80's, Robert "Fish" Fishman (Rainn Wilson) was the drummer for Vesuvius, a local heavy metal/glam metal band from Cleveland, Ohio. After playing a local gig, Fish's bandmates are approached by their manager, who says that a label is interested in them but will not sign them unless they get rid of Fish, replacing him as drummer with the nephew of the label's president. At first, the band refuses on account that Fish was a founding and very important member of the band, but after their manager tells them that they will open for Whitesnake if they sign to the label, they fire Fish on the spot and leave him in the dust. Fish curses his bandmates for backstabbing him and vows to start another band that will be far more famous than Vesuvius. Twenty years later, Fish leads an unhappy life by failing at another cubicle job, breaking up with his girlfriend, and having to move in with his sister, her husband, and two kids. Fish finds himself living in the attic looking for work, and is further frustrated by Vesuvius's success as a band.
Matt (Josh Gad), Fish's nephew, plays the keyboards in a alternative rock band called A.D.D., joined by the dark, brooding Curtis (Teddy Geiger) and the no-nonsense Amelia (Emma Stone). The band is set to play at the prom, but when their drummer gets thrown out of school, they search for a new one but with little to no success. After much deliberation between the band and having no other option, they agree to ask Fish to play drums at their "gig" for only the one time. The prom turns into a disaster, being Fish's first time on stage in twenty years, and his drum solo takes over the prom King and Queen's dance in a fit of rage, and sheer embarrassment for the band. Fish tries to make amends by trying to get the band a gig. Eventually, he manages to organize a booking in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The band decides to sneak out in Fish's sister's minivan, but are soon caught by the police after she reports it stolen.
When Fish is kicked out of his sister's house and then rents the basement of his favorite Chinese restaurant, the band invents a new way to practice via four-way iChat. Because of the stuffy and hot atmosphere in Fish's new residence, he chooses to practice naked (He mistakes the camera for a microphone), which is secretly recorded by Matt's little sister, and posts the recording on YouTube. A million hits later, A.D.D. signs a contract with David Marshall (Jason Sudeikis), an agent whose obnoxiousness outshines his poseur personality. After a successful audition at proving the band's musical talent, David then takes them on tour.
The band wows audiences across the country, with everyone wanting to see the infamous "Naked Drummer." However, Fish commits stereotypical acts, despite the physical costs on his body, and he vandalizes a hotel room, which results in the band's arrest and a testicular injury for Fish.
After bailing them out, Kim, Curtis's mother (Christina Applegate), promises the other parents she will stay for the remainder of the tour, so their children won't be influenced by Fish's antics. As the tour continues, Fish and Kim find that they have similar interests and begin to find an attraction to each other. A.D.D. also shoots a music video which upon watching, all the band members are featured prominently except Fish, who notices that his face is being obscured during the entire video. Later on it is discovered that David does not want to promote Fish as a member of A.D.D.
David informs the band that they are opening for Vesuvius in a free concert for their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Fish is enraged, refusing to open for the band he started, and the band sticks by his side and agrees not to do the show. During Fish's rage, Curtis's mother tries to calm him down by kissing him, which David witnesses. He tells Curtis, exaggerating the truth, hoping to get Fish fired. During their next concert, Curtis announces to the crowd that the band will do the show after all, much to Fish's dismay. After they have a heated argument in front of the crowd, Fish quits the band on the spot and leaves despite Kim's protests. Fish enters a downward spiral of depression as he throws away his treasured drumming sticks, cuts his hair, and has Stan get him a miserable job in the corporate world.
Matt and Amelia convince Curtis that the band is nothing without the spirit of Fish after the label's newly appointed drummer doesn't fit in. Curtis apologizes to Fish, and then he convinces Fish to do the concert citing that he has a second chance at becoming the rock star he was destined to be. Upon arriving at the stadium before their performance, Fish encounters his former bandmates who have become pompous, vain and arrogant, with faux-British accents and a new drummer named Sticks (Lonny Ross), who is actually from England. Vesuvius actually does not remember Fish until one bandmember says he faintly remembers. However, to his happiness, Fish finds that he is able to let the past go and wishes Vesuvius a great show. Fish and the band play an incredible show, gaining a standing ovation from the audience. After their gig, Amelia hugs Curtis in a friendly, congratulatory way, and Curtis asks Amelia out, which she smiles at and agrees. Fish then asks out Kim, who likes his new short hair, and he admits all rockers have to grow up sometime Vesuvius takes the stage, and during their set the lead singer's microphone falls off the stand while the voice track of their song continues, revealing that they were lip-syncing the entire time. The audience goes into a huge rage, booing Vesuvius off the stage in a cloud of embarrassment, and chanting an encore for A.D.D. The band takes the stage again and performs for the crowd despite the advice of David, whom they fire on the spot for his obvious treachery.
