Today's horoscope says:

An authority figure will bring you much entertainment today, which will be a nice change of pace.
The two of you will find yourselves in a novel situation: You'll be the expert and he or she will be the novice for once.
It'll be unfamiliar territory, so suppress your laughter and discomfort.
More and more, you're seeing this person's fallibility, and you're really beginning to consider them an equal.
That just means your relationship is becoming healthier.

OK.
