Daily horoscopes for 26th June, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Your lukewarm ambition is starting to get a little hotter right now, thanks to the inspiring progress a friend or coworker has made. But before you head up that corporate ladder, you have to figure out what you'll do once you get up to the top. You need to plan your path. Hold off making any big moves today. Wait to see how other people are playing the game. If they're also getting ambitious, it might be wise for you to wait for them to get it out of their system, rather than directly compete with them.

Taurus:

You shop around when you want to find a good bargain, so why aren't you shopping around on your quest for a romantic partner? If you're on the market right now, don't just say 'yes' to the first person who shows interest. Your time is valuable, and your calendar is too full for you to make room for someone who doesn't really excite you. If you are already in a relationship, now is the time to find some quality time -- make a date night happen earlier than you've been talking about.

Gemini:

Your goals, your wishes, and your hopes are your own -- you cannot let them be defined by pressures from other people, especially your boss. If you aren't hungry for that corner office, then why pretend that you are? The extra effort will only make you miserable, and there will be no payoff at the end. Remind yourself why you chose the path you chose, and stop focusing so much on a dollar figure. Happiness has nothing to do with a paycheck. It has to do with following your heart.

Cancer:

Don't be surprised if you feel some friction with one of the authority figures in your life today. They will have issues about something that is completely out of your control, but they will be expecting you to deal with it. Rather than try to reason with them or explain yourself, save your breath. They are in no mood for logic -- they just want things to be resolved. This is a great opportunity to really impress them with how you can get things done.

Leo:

Whether you're still in school or not, you will be a student all of your life -- remember that. You should keep your mind open today, because a major life lesson is coming! An unexpected person on the scene is going to cramp your style, but as you get to know them more you'll see that they're just different than you are. Appreciate their differences, and they will appreciate yours. The world is full of diversity, and it's best to embrace that fact.

Virgo:

If someone says something combative today, make sure you heard them correctly. If you think someone is giving you a dirty look, make sure there's not a television on the wall behind you. You might just have the tiniest chip on your shoulder today, and it will way too easy for you to jump to the wrong conclusion. You'd really benefit from taking a day to yourself right now. You need to figure out why you might be blaming the world for something that isn't the world's fault.

Libra:

It only takes one look at your social calendar to see that you are starting to spread yourself way too thin! It's time to cancel, reschedule or postpone a few of your social engagements. You could try consolidating, too -- instead of five one-on-one dates with different friends, how about planning a big group weekend lunch or brunch? It will let everyone catch up together -- and maybe some new friendships will emerge! Get all your buddies together. It's efficient and it's fun.

Scorpio:

Today, it's time to get introspective. Unlock that little spot in your ear where you keep all your silly ideas and pipe dreams -- isn't there a chance that you could make one of them happen, after all? Call up that crush from long ago -- they'd probably love to hear your voice. Give that headhunter one more call -- there could be a new opportunity for you. You've held onto these dreams for a reason, and you've got to honor them by giving them one more shot.

Sagittarius:

Your intuitive powers are leading you toward more powerful people, right now, and they want to make things happen for you. This could create an imbalance between your passivity and your aggressiveness. You want to be out there fighting the good fight and causing a stir, but why put yourself in that risky situation when there are other people willing to do it for you? Sit back and let these folks do what they want to do. You will definitely benefit.

Capricorn:

Why are you trying to be all things to all people? It's admirable to want to help everyone, but it is not realistic to expect yourself to be able to do it. Instead, focus on doing the one or two things you can do, today -- spend time with the one or two people you have time for. Not everyone can fit into your busy life right now, so don't worry about saying 'no' to someone who wants to see you. They'll understand -- just like you understood when they were busy.

Aquarius:

A brief, informal conversation could evolve into a longer, deeper discussion that goes around and around in circles today -- but you and your curious mind will love every minute of it! Dig into the issues that are not cut-and-dried. Explore all the shades of nuance and interpretation in them. No two people experience the same reality, although they can certainly try to explain their reality to someone else. Listen with ears wide open and you might hear something that blows your mind.

Pisces:

Follow your curiosity wherever it tells you to go, today. It will steer you straight to stimulation! You will be intrigued and entertained by a new person on the scene who's making a fuss and making some admirers drool. You just don't get the attraction, but you'll be enjoying the antics of the folks who are falling all over themselves. The day will be like a giant jigsaw puzzle for you to solve, so the earlier you start going through the pieces and getting them organized, the better.

All:
