Daily horoscopes for 24th May, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Someone thinks something about you that just isn't true, and as soon as you find out about it today you need to help them see the truth. Your reputation is something you have worked very hard to build and it should be your top concern today. Chances are, just making the effort to talk to this person and answer their questions should be enough to clarify any confusion they had about who you are or what you are about. Being responsive is all it really takes to gain their confidence.

Taurus:

Today, you should choose to appeal to people's intellect, not their emotions. Instead of charming them or flirting with them to get them on your side, use a logical appeal. Talk to them about the facts and they will be able to have a deeper understanding of what you want -- and whether or not they can give it to you. This applies to every type of conversation you have today, from asking someone special out on a date to asking your boss for that raise you know you deserve.

Gemini:

You will be in a situation today when someone who is equal to you -- a partner even -- will rise above you. They may even be put in a position of authority over you! But the good news is, instead of pulling rank on you or throwing their weight around, they will be eager to get your take on things and keep you just as integrated in the process as you were before. You should support this person's ascent, because it only means that good things are coming soon for you, too.

Cancer:

Today, you will finally be given the opportunity to show someone what you are made of -- but first you will need to deal with a commitment you made. So early in the day, you need to hit the ground running and take care of the person you promised to help. Communicate clearly why you might not be available to help them later on so that they do not misinterpret you. They'll appreciate you staying true to your promise and you'll be guilt-free the rest of the day!

Leo:

Your confidence is going to get one or two boosts today, which will send your ego to a healthier place. This new feeling of self-respect and pride will be so strong that without even realizing it, you'll be inspiring everyone you deal with. They are seeing a side of you they have never seen before -- and they really like it! Your popularity is about to go on an upswing, and you can expect many inquiries as to what you think about things. Your opinions matter more than ever.

Virgo:

Be careful not to confuse criticism with honesty today. One does not necessarily require the other. Be sensitive to the egos of others and try to avoid making anyone feel bad about themselves. You should still tell it like it is, but you should also take the extra time and effort to phrase things diplomatically, with their feelings in mind. Being critical is an art form, but it is one at which you excel, due to your healthy balance between diplomacy and compassion.

Libra:

An authority figure in your life might be starting to micromanage you today, which could understandably get on your nerves. But before you blow up at them and risk soiling your relationship, take a deep breath and realize that the way they are acting is nothing personal against you. They are going through some stuff and feel the need to justify their role. There's no need to feel intimidated by them -- you don't have to waste your time on fake dramatics or games.

Scorpio:

Things are already going great in your day-to-day life -- but they are about to get even better! If you're in school today, you can expect to have a killer day of answering questions correctly and making instructors smile. If you're at work, you will soon notice that the boss is in a really great mood. He or she will finally find the words to tell you what a great job you've been doing! You ego is going to go to bed feeling happier, healthier, and bigger!

Sagittarius:

At some point today you will be exposed to sophisticated music or art. Usually this kind of stuff doesn't really appeal to you, but today it will spark an idea or urge deep inside of you. You'll love what you are seeing or hearing and will want to experience more of it, as quickly as possible. Your artistic sensibilities are heightened right now, which is making you much more open to hearing or seeing things in a new way. You are ready to think differently.

Capricorn:

Just like pretzels and chocolate, and oddball pairing can make a good combination. So if you are put into a partnership with someone you don't think you'll work well with, just relax and be open minded about it. Set aside any negative feelings you might have about this other person, and focus on completing the task at hand to the best of your combined abilities. Make it clear to them that you are expecting a positive outcome, and you'll be setting the tone for mutual respect.

Aquarius:

Temptations are going to be popping up all over the place today, so your self discipline will be more important to maintain than ever! Sure, your willpower will be tested -- but you will pass the test. Fortunately, the universe is sending you some powerful energy that will reinforce your backbone and keep you on the right path. Anything that is put in front of you, no matter how irresistible it might seem, is not what you want. All you need to do is remember that.

Pisces:

Let someone else be the sensible leader while you spend some time on the wackier side of things for a while. Your conservative side has been in power for a long time -- so today, it's time to let your wild child out! You need a vacation from organization, a break from the staid stuff of life, and an overall mood renovation. Today, re-visit your childhood and give yourself permission to stop taking things so seriously! The big things in life will iron themselves out eventually.
