Daily horoscopes for 26th May, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

You will be shown some visions of what could be today -- and you might not like what you see. But is it a problem of a bad reality or bad perception? Just because it doesn't look like things are going to turn out the way you want them to doesn't mean that you still can't be happy. Apply a more positive spin to the news you receive today -- there is definitely a silver lining in this cloud, you just have to work a little bit harder to find it. Apply a new way of thinking to everything you see today.

Taurus:

Your attitude towards other people is very positive right now, and it will help you win in any power struggle you encounter today, from who gets to hold the remote control at home to who gets promoted to that plum position at work. By thinking the best of your opponents, you will be able to endear them to you and convince them to give you what you want! It's not mental trickery -- it's just respect. Showing someone you respect them is the first step toward having them respect you.

Gemini:

Try to get away from the crowds today. Get off on your own and take a long walk outside. Let your thoughts wander, and you will come to some extremely important realizations about yourself. This is a good time for some deep thoughts on some deep issues. Something in your life needs to be addressed, and you've been putting it off for way too long. Talking to others about it is a fine idea, but you already have all of the right answers deep down inside of you.

Cancer:

You might feel like you're banging your head against a wall today -- someone you're trying to break the ice with keeps on giving you the cold shoulder. While you are all charm and sunshine, they are aloof and standoffish. What gives? Well, don't take it personally. They might just not have the time to deal with you right now. They may well be interested in giving you any time that they do have, when they have it. Know when to say 'when' and move on to people who are more receptive.

Leo:

Take a break from pushing yourself right now -- you deserve it! Challenging yourself with more responsibilities at work might seem like a great way to get ahead, but it will really only increase your stress level right now. Starting a difficult conversation with a friend might seem like the way to resolve an issue, but today it could only make things more strained between you two. Let the dust settle on any recent drama, and use today to regroup and recharge for the days ahead.

Virgo:

Give yourself a modest challenge that offers huge rewards today -- starting with your environment. Pick up around your home and find a new way to reorganize your stuff. Getting clutter out of the way is terrifically satisfying, and it's a task you can turn your mind off to do. Give your grey matter a rest while you give your home a facelift. Ask your roommate or partner to help you out, and you'll benefit from their great ideas as well as all their physical labor!

Libra:

You should know by now that only an intellectual connection can create a solid foundation for a real relationship, whether it's a romance, a friendship, or a business partnership. Sharing ideas and talking about controversial issues in order to understand someone better are not only interesting, they are healthy. So steer clear of people who want to keep things shallow with you even though they want to see you more often. You need substance, not flash.

Scorpio:

This is a day of conflicting ideas and opinions -- which could create tension at home, but could also create a sizzling hot connection in your social life. Nothing stirs up your emotions like a heated debate, and when you are having that heated debate with someone who is hot, the temperature is bound to climb! So don't shy away from disagreement. Even if it causes a sibling or family member to get cranky, at least they will know how you truly feel.

Sagittarius:

The good news is that you are at the beginning stages of a remarkable self-transformation. The bad news is that consequently, you might be feeling confused about what you want to do today. You won't have a lack of options, but you will have a lack of interest in any of them. It might seem odd to start off a transformation with such ambivalence, but just hang in there. It's once you start to sort through your options that the real transformation begins.

Capricorn:

If you think that you need to start making some lifestyle changes, then you do. When you feel the urge to mix things up, you cannot continue with your normal routine and have any sense of growth or progress. But you can relax -- these changes you make don't have to be huge adjustments. They just have to be significant enough to make a difference. Cutting back on fried foods or setting aside five more dollars every week in savings are examples of little things that can mean a lot.

Aquarius:

Someone is going to find you quite attractive today -- although unfortunately, they might not be someone who you find very attractive. Learn how to take a compliment and move on! There is no need to chat someone up if you have no genuine interest in them. In fact, it's not very nice. Leading someone on -- even if you're just trying not to hurt their feelings -- is not the right way to handle things. When someone says something nice, thank them. That's the extent of your responsibility.

Pisces:

Without even trying, you will be daydreaming about the future today -- one word could send you off on a mental tangent full of ideas about where you want to live next, who you want to grow old with, or what kind of family you really want to have. These revelations might feel like directives from your subconscious, but they are merely your imagination trying to work things out. What you think you want desperately today might sound silly to you tomorrow, so don't commit to anything.
