daily horoscopes

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

If you're in the right place at the right time early today, you'll witness a simple exchange that will make a very complicated puzzle fall right into place. Human relationships are very unpredictable, but this new insight of yours will help you anticipate a surprising move -- and push you forward one giant step. Get out in the world and communicate with as many folks as you can -- if you increase your exposure, you'll increase your chances of finding that golden clue.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Investigate some new ways to communicate your ideas today -- an email just isn't going to be able to do justice to the scope of what you're trying to say. Whether your thoughts are simple or complicated, they deserve more than words. Try to get face-to-face with the people you need to talk to -- even if it means putting off the conversation for a few days. Nonverbal elements of the discussion are very important, and they'll make all the difference in getting your point across.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

If someone in your life is wavering about an important decision, be sure you don't push your agenda onto them. Any sentence that starts with, 'If I were you ...' needs to go no further! You may have experience that gives you valuable insight into their quandary, but this is still their choice to make ... and they're the only one who will have to live with the consequences of what they decide. Let them know you support whatever they choose.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

No one can provide you with a sense of confidence in yourself -- you have to feel it. So today, don't wait for applause or accolades. Other people are not as focused on you as you think they are right now, and you don't need their approval anyway. Move forward with false confidence if you must -- but just go forward. It's the focused action you take that will truly impress other people and get you noticed. Plus, it's this type of behavior that will build the real confidence you seek.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

If faced with an emotional conflict today, don't rush forward and be the aggressor. Your energy is centered around positive compromise right now, so rely on more diplomatic methods. Even better, if you can step back and let a few days go by, the dust might settle and the problem could solve itself. Let everyone else run around and try to stake their claims. There will still be plenty of excellent spots left when you're finally ready to go take what's yours.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Things are easier than you're making them -- especially in your romantic life. Are you holding yourself to an impossible goal? Or is it that you aren't satisfied with how you're handling a certain situation? The frustration you're feeling is real, but it isn't necessary. All you need to do is let go of your expectations -- for yourself and for them. Accept the rate at which things are moving ... whether or not it's too fast or too slow doesn't matter. It is what it is.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

As soon as you wake up this morning, you should look at yourself in the mirror and start a little pep talk. Disturbing dreams, recent setbacks and an overall feeling of listlessness might send you into a temporary blue period today. To shake it, remind yourself that you have abilities no one else has. If you can't convince yourself, call your personal cheerleader -- you know who it is. Get together and share some laughs with friends. Try not to take things too seriously.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Are you tired of expectations being put on you? To escape the pressures being applied to your life right now, follow your own wishes. It's time for you to take the proverbial bull by the horns and start saying no. Causing conflict is not your cup of tea, but in everyone's life there comes a time when you have to take a stand -- and your time is coming soon. When a problem arises today, you'll see the clear solution immediately. So follow through!

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

You may feel inspired to do something that raises a few eyebrows today ... this is a sign that you're ready to embrace your inner maverick. Breaking the rules is not always a bad thing -- especially if the rules limit your creativity or upward mobility. Inspiration may come in the form of a new person arriving on the scene or an old adversary leaving the scene. Personnel shakeups -- in both your business and personal life -- have a way of making you rethink your role.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Utilize whatever is around you to get where you need to be. But don't misunderstand -- this isn't about using people or exploiting connections. It's about getting creative regarding how you use the resources available to you. If you've had your eye on someone cute, spread the word. If you do, you could discover a common friend who can give you a good excuse to get to know your crush better. Putting things out into the universe can sometimes make things happen.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Your ability to accept the things you can't change in your life is enviable -- and someone close to you is desperately in need of learning this lesson for themselves. They've been banging their head against a figurative wall for some time now ... and you've noticed. Today is the day to reach out to them and remind them that the struggle they're going through is largely voluntary. Show them a new way to look at their situation, and you'll give them hope.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Embarking on a new venture could make even the most seasoned pro so nervous they're biting their nails, but it looks like you're really onto something life-altering and amazing. So keep going! If you've been waiting for an excuse to try out a new outfit, hot spot or even a new pickup line, today is the day! The world around you is open to suggestions, and you have the right ideas. So don't waste time -- open up and get things started. The prognosis is very positive.
