Daily horoscopes for 16th May, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

This is a time to relish your personal freedom -- even if you are in a relationship, you need to foster your independence every once and a while. Do something by yourself, something that no one else enjoys as much as you do. Go off on a day trip to a location that has special meaning for you. Remind yourself what it's like to be able to do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it. Thinking of another person's preferences is fine, but it's not always the right way to handle things.

Taurus:

Someone's flattering attention has increased to a point where you might be starting to feel suffocated. If their demands on your time are starting to really annoy you, let them know that you need some alone time next time they ask to hang out. They may hear this as a rejection, so you should be ready to explain that you need more space in this relationship. They might not like hearing this, but if it's an issue between you two it's better to get it out in the open sooner than later.

Gemini:

Even if you're not looking for a new romance, one will come along for you today. Of course, this love you feel might not be for a person. No, what tugs at your heart today might be a cute puppy, a fantastic new song, or even a movie. You have a lot of affection to give out into the world, and not enough people to receive it. So it's not surprising that you would start to get creative about the devotion you develop. The world is full of joy, as far as you are concerned.

Cancer:

Try to stay close to your home right now -- there could be something threatening your bliss there. Stick with the relatives or roommates you think you know so well, and get to know them even better. You don't have to work too hard at accomplishing this -- just hanging out in the same room at the same time is all the quality time you really need to have with them. Conserve your energy for another day, and take care of the people who may be feeling neglected.

Leo:

That foggy-headed feeling you've been having is about to get cleared up. The sun is coming out today, in the form of a very interesting new person who makes you smile every time they say hello to you. This is definitely an exciting development that is leaving you feeling good -- and a bit tongue-tied! When you find yourself alone with them, just relax and keep things light. You shouldn't have specific expectations about anyone or anything right now. Just have fun.

Virgo:

This is not a good time to throw your money around indiscriminately -- so avoid making any impulse buys. Even if you recently came into some money, you'd be better off holding on to it. If it feels like it's burning a hole in your pocket, well, just let it keep burning away! Too much uncertainty is coming your way in the near future. If you have to make an unavoidable purchase right now, you should at least save the receipt just in case you need to return it later on.

Libra:

Your work life and your private life have been out of balance for a while now, and it's been going okay. The people who are getting less attention have been fine with it, but their understanding is not unending -- you need to be prepared for them to start saying something about how they need more commitment from you. It would be extremely beneficial if you talked to them before they talked to you. Showing them that you understand the situation will go a long way.

Scorpio:

Why settle on just one plan for the entire day? There's no reason to commit yourself to doing one thing in the morning, when as the day moves forward so many other things will pop up as cool possibilities! Keep it loose today, as loose as you can. Being spontaneous is something you are good at, but you haven't done it in far too long. Get together with a good friend or your partner and toss ideas back and forth about what you want to do today. Anything goes, at any time!

Sagittarius:

Your sense of fairness will be out in full force today, and you will want to speak up when you see some injustice. No matter who is in the wrong, you will feel compelled to call them on the carpet and give them a piece of your mind! You know what is right, so don't let politics or hierarchy prevent you from drawing attention to a situation that just isn't fair. There might be no way to get things back in balance, but at least you can have a clear conscious.

Capricorn:

It's a good idea for you to have some conversation starters ready today, because there could be a lot of awkward silences in store for you. In order to initiate some good conversation with people you don't know very well, avoid touchy topics like politics, religion, or money. It's much wiser for you to stick to safer topics like television, sporting events, and celebrity gossip. Believe it or not, shallow topics can lead to deep conversations sometimes.

Aquarius:

You are probably going to feel a bit overwhelmed by one or more of choices you need to make today, but that's okay -- just don't panic and make a decision because you think that someone's losing patience with you. If you do, you will only end up going back on it a few days later when you learn something new. Take your time today -- in everything you do. Only when you take a good, long, hard look at how all your options might play out will you know exactly what you need to do.

Pisces:

No one else sees things quite the way you see them right now -- you have an eye for what is true and what is a bunch of baloney! This new take-no-prisoners attitude of yours is starting to turn heads and get people talking. A new leadership position is coming up, and your name has just been added to the list of nominees. Are you up for it? If you feel intimidated by the prospect of stepping into a bigger role, then you have the healthy respect for the position that it requires.

All:
