Daily horoscopes for 29th April, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Your ambition is a powerful force, but it can get exhausted just like any other energy. Today you might benefit from giving it a break. Let someone else be the superstar. Step back and allow other people to be the movers and shakers. Learn how to enjoy being in the background -- it's just as interesting and just as educational as being front and center. Give it a try. Do not confuse praise with respect. You can earn a lot more of the latter if you know when to pull back and slow down.

Taurus:

Today, your cheerful energy could come off as 'too' cheerful for those people whose lives aren't going quite as well as yours. This jealousy could cause some weirdness in people who you normally get along with quite well. Don't take this change in their character personally -- this is not about you, it's about them. If someone who is miserable needs everyone else around them to be miserable, then they are going to make them miserable. So get away from them today.

Gemini:

As your schedule loosens up and everyone is happily off doing their own thing, maybe it's time for you to do your own thing, too. This is a wonderful time to schedule a long weekend retreat for yourself -- taking time to think about your life and where you are going may be a luxury, but it is one you should indulge in. Too many other people have been the focus of your life. Right now, the central focus should be you. It's a good time for deep thought and for setting a few new goals.

Cancer:

Sure, money might make the world go 'round, but you shouldn't let it make your individual world go around. Focusing too much on money is not going to achieve anything. How much something costs bears little if any resemblance to how much something is actually worth, so don't get all impressed by price tags or brand names. If you plan on doing any shopping, be very careful. Make sure you are getting your money's worth -- if not more than your money's worth.

Leo:

A person who thinks that they know better than you will try to take control of the conversation today, and it will irk you to no end. But you need to be patient with them -- they lack the social and communications skills you have and are letting their insecurities have too much control over things. They feel the need to prove how smart or how clever they are, and the mere fact that they are trying so hard to impress you will tug at your heartstrings.

Virgo:

It's no longer worth it for you to hang back and let everyone else be the movers and the shakers. At work, speak up in that meeting. Ask to take a key role on a new project. At home, figure out a way to reorganize your furniture or give the kitchen a thorough cleaning. Socially, start planning a dinner party or adventurous outing for your group of friends. Give everyone something to look forward to. You have an impact to make on the world, so go out and make it.

Libra:

Take extra special care with everything you write today, and don't waste an opportunity to get creative. Adding a poetic, funny or whimsical attitude to your emails, text messages and other notes will make your messages more interesting and meaningful to the recipients. Do not deliver the expected 'hi, how are you doing?' right now -- that's too plain to accurately communicate what's going on in your mind, and it's not going to get anyone excited.

Scorpio:

Focus anew on your health and diet today -- you don't have to make drastic changes, but you do need to start thinking about how to get more physically active. You don't necessary have to join a gym, but you do have to be open to new ideas. Walking is an excellent way to burn a few more calories, so think of that the next time you're looking for a parking spot in front of the supermarket. Opt for the back of the lot. You'll have your pick, and you'll get in some more activity.

Sagittarius:

All of your efforts to connect with a certain someone are working, but they might be working too slowly for your taste. That's too bad, though -- this is one time when you can't push things. You will have to be patient and let them come around in the way they want and at the speed they want. Waiting won't be fun, but think about it this way -- your reward will be sweet, and you will know that it comes from a very genuine place. It won't be the result of any pressure or manipulation.

Capricorn:

Do you respect your money? Prove it. Take extra time to unfold your currency and make it all face the same direction in your wallet. Make sure all your credit cards are in the right place and haven't expired. Sort out loose change and find out how much you have in your couch cushions. When you organize your money, you show your respect for what you've earned. When your cash-on-hand is under control, you show the universe that you can handle the responsibility of having more of it!

Aquarius:

Someone in your social circle is in desperate need of some high energy adventure -- and don't be surprised if they look to you to supply it! Your schedule might not allow you to go off on an impromptu road trip or escapade with them, but don't let that fact keep you from suggesting a few things. Even if you can't join them, you can be there in spirit. Your advice means a lot to them, so make a special effort to help them out. Who knows -- maybe they'll bring you back a souvenir?

Pisces:

Recent dreams have left you confused when you awaken, but you can't give them too much thought. Rather than providing you with valuable clues that will help you navigate your life, these dreams are merely reflections of your subconscious at play. Not everything means something. It would be much more productive for you to focus more on picking up clues from the real world. Pay particular attention to body language. People are thinking things that they aren't saying out loud.
