Daily horoscopes for 20th May, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Foreign ideas and influences can have a very constructive impact on your life right now, so do not fear them. Instead, reach out today and explore different cultures in any way that makes you feel most comfortable. Whether you simply listen to a foreign music radio station for a few miles, check out a restaurant that serves authentic ethnic food, or shop in a store that specializes in items from a different part of the world, you need to do something to broaden your ideas about culture.

Taurus:

Don't take any financial risks today -- they are not likely to pay off. There is too much uncertainty involved in this new venture, and you need to play things safe. Personal relationships are getting too entangled in your private financial business and you would be wise to get some distance from your friendships and your investments. Listening to the advice of your friends is one thing, but do it too often and you could find yourself getting angry when things don't pan out.

Gemini:

If you want to be all you can be in life, then you have to start expressing yourself more! People can't know who you really are -- and what you are really capable of -- until you do. Do not be afraid to say what you really feel or ask for what you really want! You need to share your feelings and desires with your closest partners or friends today, no matter what. You're underestimating the people in your life. They can handle the truth -- from you.

Cancer:

If you are getting overwhelmed by the details of a project you've been working on, have no fear! A big ol' burst of energy and positive thinking is coming along today to help you feel back on track and ready to run for the finish line. This change in attitude will help you to put your best foot forward -- and impress that certain someone. You are feeling more motivated than you have in a long time, and it's nice to have such an attainable goal in front of you.

Leo:

If you have been feeling limited or held back lately, you can't be blaming anyone or anything else for this frustrating situation. The only person truly affecting your life -- for better or for worse -- is you. On the bright side, if you have caused this, then you can cure this. To get a motivating burst of self-esteem, call up a friend for a fun night out, or challenge them to a board game. Just do something that will help you get that winning feeling once again.

Virgo:

The time for you to play it cool is definitely over -- right now, you must be more daring. Act fast if you want to nab that new opportunity, get to the front of the line with that new cutie, or make that change in your life. You are finally capable of getting some traction in a new situation, but you have to show the universe that you are ready to move forward. It's all about action and taking a risk or two. They are bound to pay off in one way or another.

Libra:

Timing is everything when it comes to romance. So if you don't have it in your life right now, try to take a philosophical view of it -- maybe it's just not the right time. Your feelings might be hard to shove aside in favor of this kind of attitude, but it will help you stay away from the blues. Love exists is so many forms in your life right now, so you are doing the universe a disservice by not acknowledging that fact. Spend time with the special people who care so much about you.

Scorpio:

Right now, you should feel free to trust your instinct about a new person who's arrived onto the social scene -- after all, it hardly ever steers you wrong. Just be careful not to react to what it tells you, at least not right away. Before you jump to any conclusions about this person, wait until you get someone from outside your circle to confirm your hunch. And don't be surprised if what they have to tell you is contrary to your gut. Being off-base is rare for you, but it does happen.

Sagittarius:

The people who have been teaching or guiding you are loving the changes they've helped you make! They are very impressed by your accomplishments and are going to be heaping a ton of praise and admiration on you right now. Don't be surprised if other people show signs of jealousy -- you are getting into the good graces of some very influential people and they want to be there, too. You can give them some advice, but only if you are feeling charitable.

Capricorn:

Let your idealistic side take more control over your life right now -- let your ideals make the decisions you are faced with right now. It's time that you tried harder to see the best in everything and in everyone -- because when you do, you're better able to see the best in yourself. Don't be surprised if you get a lot more attention today -- people find a positive thinker to be very attractive. Seeing more beauty in your life will invite even more beauty.

Aquarius:

A friendly visitor is coming on the scene to add quite a jolt of electricity to your social network. It looks like what you thought was going to be an average day will actually turn out to be quite above average! Whether you're playing host or you're just a member of the party, be the first person to welcome a new member to the group -- send the signal to the universe that you are ready to experience a new person in your life. This is a wonderful day to try something new.

Pisces:

The universe is finally giving you the green light to proceed with your plans -- even if doing so requires you to skip over the authority figures in your life! Their ideas are not as valuable to you right now as the ideas from your peers, so listen to them instead. Closely observe the people who are at your level. What are they doing, and how are they doing it? You will learn from their mistakes -- and more importantly, you'll gain insight from their successes.

All:
