Daily horoscopes for 2nd July, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

The bright and carefree attitude of a close friend has been darkening lately, but you shouldn't let this change scare you off! They need your feedback more than ever right now -- but they just don't know how to ask you for it. Why not reach out to them? A sweet email is the perfect way to let them know that you are there for them without making them feel embarrassed. Remind them that you are available if and when they need you. Even if they don't reply, they will appreciate the gesture.

Taurus:

Innovation is something that only you are attracted to right now -- everyone around you is behaving with extra caution, and while you want to find out how to make things better, they are much more concerned with not rocking the boat. You have a choice. You can go along with their mild-mannered ways, but you will probably get frustrated that things aren't moving quickly enough. Or you could take on the extra work yourself and realize that they are all still going to get some of the credit.

Gemini:

Today, you will be unable to escape the flirtatious energy that is buzzing all around you. Even if you're not particularly interested in starting something new in your romantic life, people will be smiling and chatting with you a lot more than usual -- and one of them might even ask you to spend some alone time with them! If you're free, you should take them up on it. But if you're not free, let them down as gently as you can -- and let them know you're flattered.

Cancer:

If you get into some type of disagreement today, don't miss the point of the conflict. It's way too easy to get caught up in winning the argument, when that isn't what really matters. What matters is solving the problem, in any way you can. Making a compromise is probably going to be the best way to make everyone happy, so don't be afraid to offer a little something in return for their agreement. The first person to reach out is usually the person who comes out on top.

Leo:

One of your friends thinks that they know exactly what you should do with your life. Unfortunately, you never asked them for their advice! Before you get defensive and tell them to mind their own business, try to understand that they are trying to offer you some assistance. As misguided as their intentions are, they come from a caring place. Try to see their meddlesome ways as evidence that you really matter to them, and not as evidence that they are judging you.

Virgo:

One of the authority figures in your life is in a bad mood, so you can expect some tough deadlines and closed doors, today. The issues that are ticking them off are completely out of your control, so don't make the mistake of thinking that you can make them happy. Just do your thing and mind your p's and q's. They are in no mood to hear cold logic or excuses about why things can't happen -- they just want things done. On the bright side, this is a great opportunity to really impress them.

Libra:

If you want to try a new sport or hobby, you need to stop talking about it and start doing it! It's all well and good to talk about new things, but until you start making an effort to actually do a couple of these new things, no one is going to take you seriously. Don't worry about failing or struggling as you work your way along, either -- everyone knows it takes time to get the hang of things. Worrying too much about how silly you might look will only keep you from growing as a person.

Scorpio:

This is a good time in your life for you to take more aggressive action -- and take a few more risks here and there. So what if a plan or two backfires on you? It's time for you to get comfortable with the idea that you can't hit a home run every time you step up to the plate. Sometimes you just get to first base -- and sometimes you strike out. But guess what? No one is going to throw you off the team any time soon. You'll always have more chances.

Sagittarius:

Usually nothing annoys you more than someone who's all talk and no action, but today you will find a big talker to be quite amusing. Of course, you won't take anything they say seriously, but you will love hearing them say it. Could there be some chemistry here? If you're feeling it, then be careful -- someone who isn't genuine won't make a very good partner in any context. Keep your distance from the people you can't rely on, and you will keep control over your life.

Capricorn:

Someone who's usually totally dependable will be starting to act a little flighty today, but you shouldn't let it cause any doubts about where this person's priorities are. They are almost as good at juggling as you are, so you can still count on them to give you what you need. Don't make assumptions about other people based on your own life -- it's only going to cause you to miss out on some wonderful surprises. Let people impress you once in a while. Expect the best and you will get it.

Aquarius:

You have to be careful not to let your flirting skills get rusty! So what if you're in a committed relationship, you haven't been feeling any sparks, or you're just a bit lazy? Today you need to get out there and smile a bit more. Tell people how fabulous they look. Add some cheekiness to your day. Who knows? You could take your current relationship to a whole new level, or start up a sizzling affair. At any rate, it will add some interest to your life. So loosen up and flatter the cuties.

Pisces:

Resist the urge to share too much about yourself or about what you're doing, right now. It's great that you're so enthusiastic about things, but you don't have to share every single piece of information with every single person you meet up with. Too many details could cause people to get overwhelmed and mentally shut you out, which is the last thing you want! If people want to know more about you, don't worry -- they will ask you questions and engage you in conversation.
