Daily horoscopes for 17th July, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

There will be quite a few opportunities to have fun today, but one of them might require you to have fun at someone else's expense. You will get no joy knowing that someone else is missing out, so make sure you know the political circumstances of any new activities before you join in on them. Choose wisely. If you take advantage of other people, you'll end up being the person who feels used. Stand up for the people who might not be strong enough to stand up by themselves.

Taurus:

The energy that is growing between you and another person is giving you two a lot of power over your surroundings -- are you guys ready to use it? Unleash your dynamic-duo-ism on the world today! Dive right in and get more involved in things. You have the time to bend things to your will -- and you definitely have the influence. The more you immerse yourself in the situation, the faster you will gain a deep understanding, so hurry up and get your team in motion.

Gemini:

You are in an excellent position to help some of your buddies today, although it might not be the most convenient thing for you to do. Maybe a friend needs to move and you have a truck. Maybe someone needs a little loan to get through the week, or they want you to come with them on a particular errand. This is when you have to prove yourself and show them that you are there for the fun stuff and the not-so-fun stuff. Step up to the plate and don't let them down. You'll be glad you did.

Cancer:

Waiting for other people to catch up with you is a total waste of time right now -- if they aren't already up to speed, then there is no point in getting involved with them. Move on without their input. Problems at work could be making you impatient with everyone, but don't let your professional woes leak into your private life. The people you care about don't deserve your grouchiness. Let them pull you out of your blue funk-- they're experts at it!

Leo:

Give the gift of a smile to everyone you meet, today, and you're sure to make a good impression on everyone -- that's pretty much all it takes, right now. Your energy is contagious, especially when you let it shine. This is a wonderful day for you to meet new people, too. If you have a job interview or first date scheduled, you can rest assured that it will go well. Put some happy energy out into the world. You will surely get ten times that amount back again.

Virgo:

This is not a good day to explore any unknown territory, so try to stick close to home or visit someplace where everyone knows your name. But it won't be hard to curb your curiosity -- your mood is one in which you're not interested in trying new things or exploring. You're much more comfortable with the environment you've created for yourself. If you're trying to finish up a book or a project, today is a great day to hunker down at home until you're done.

Libra:

Don't be impatient with yourself, right now. It takes time to learn something new, and you have to readjust your expectations. Try to be a lot more realistic! Be prepared for this day to feel challenging, and don't be surprised if at the end of it you feel like you've moved two three steps forward and two steps back. You're learning your limits, and learning is always a good use of your time. There is no futility going on -- it's all going to be worth something, sooner or later.

Scorpio:

Today, you should consider letting other people take control while you just go along for the ride. Socially, if you let a friend pick the activity, you'll get to do something you've never done before. Professionally, if you let a newcomer lead the team, then you'll see a whole new approach to a set of problems. And romantically, if you let yourself be chased, you will finally get a good idea of just how desirable you really are. Being passive isn't always a sign of weakness.

Sagittarius:

Your creativity is at all-time high right now, and it's feeding your original mind some very original thoughts. You'll have a lot of fun adding your unique spin to things. And while not everything you put your stamp on will become a huge success, just showing the world how you think will score you a big win. Let your fashion choices convey the mood you're in, too -- wear something that helps you stand apart from the crowd. Ask for attention -- you're ready for it!

Capricorn:

It's wonderful that you want to connect with a certain someone so badly, but are you trying too hard? Step back today. Retreat from your charm offensive. You're not normally this aggressive, so why send this person an inaccurate message about who you are? You will have to be patient and natural. Let them come to in the way they want -- and, most importantly, at the speed they want. Waiting won't be fun, but your reward will be sweet, and it will be genuine.

Aquarius:

If you are tired of behaving yourself and getting nothing for your discipline, then today you should be a bit naughty and see where that gets you. Chances are, you won't see any big difference in your day -- but the exercise will help you get a taste of another kind of life, which will help you be more comfortable in your own routine. Liberating yourself from your self-imposed rules is a great way to remind yourself why you put them in place to begin with.

Pisces:

Friends might be feeling like you're hiding out from the world right about now, so touch base and let them know that you're doing okay. Time is something you want to spend by yourself, and this is a healthy thing to do. Your energy level is strong, but it's not social. Mixing with other people and sharing small talk is not as fulfilling as curling up with a favorite book, taking a long walk, or experimenting in the kitchen. If you're a homebody right now, that's a good thing!
