Daily horoscopes for 31st July, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

In order to get a lot done today like you want to, you're going to have to learn how to say no. Stop worrying so much about staying social -- accepting every invitation that comes your way might be a great way to stay busy, but it's also an effective way of driving yourself nuts! Is there some reason that you're avoiding alone time? Think about it. Clearing up your schedule doesn't have to be difficult if you make sure it's not so crowded in the first place!

Taurus:

The inexplicably tense or awkward communication you recently had with a coworker will suddenly make sense today when you learn something new about them. This new information will lift a weight off your shoulders and help you stop worrying about what they think of you. You're getting a fuller picture of this person -- and your role in their life. Look for things to loosen up between you two and even for some silliness to emerge! There's a great sense of humor under their seriousness.

Gemini:

One of your friends has suddenly gone missing, socially speaking. Your calls aren't getting answered, and your texts aren't getting replies. What gives? They might have some new things going on in their life. Maybe they are simply too busy to get back to you. Don't take it personally. And if they're hanging out with a new friend, don't feel threatened by it. You've got to curb any possessive impulses and know that there is plenty of room in their life for the both of you.

Cancer:

This fantastic new beginning you've got going on in your life is wonderful and all, but could it be distracting you from the tried-and-true pals who were such a big part of your past? If you've had to break plans with them recently, it could have left them feeling a bit taken for granted. Check in with your dearest friends today. Send a group email. Find the next date when everyone can get together to catch up and hang out. Show them that they still matter to you!

Leo:

A compromise you made a few days ago is starting to bug you -- you may be feeling like you were manipulated. Coming to the realization that you were controlled by someone else is not a good feeling, but before you confront them about it, ask someone for advice. Tell them the story and see what they say. Make sure you are as objective as you can be, and don't lead them to any conclusions. You're extra-sensitive lately, and you might be jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Virgo:

One of your friends needs your help -- but they're too shy to ask you for it. So if you notice one of your friends acting oddly or stuck in a blue funk, reach out to them. Let them know that they can rely on you for support. And if they don't immediately take you up on your offer to talk, don't take it personally. Maybe you're just not the right person for the job, maybe they're not ready to talk about it with anyone. What matters most is that you offered to help them.

Libra:

You're wise to avoid the people who are bragging, today -- not only do they have nothing to brag about, but people who exaggerate their worth do so because they're really pretty uninteresting. So skip the big talkers. Don't get upset if they aren't noticing you. Why would you want attention from someone who is so shallow and powerless? Stick with the people you already know and love. Now is the time to cherish the people you have in your life.

Scorpio:

Just because your dreams have been giving you interesting messages lately doesn't mean that you have to try to decode all of them. Sometimes, dreams are just dreams and nothing more. If you worry that you have to figure things out in your life, then look to your waking hours instead of your sleeping ones -- there are far clearer clues there for you to unravel. Attributing greater meaning to what your brain does at night could be a way of putting off accepting the reality of your situation.

Sagittarius:

Your conversations can reveal major things today, but only if you go about them in the right way. Be more questioning when you're talking to the people who have the answers. Ask probing questions and do not shy away from having a heated debate. Sometimes people withhold information simply because they don't know that anyone wants it. Your curiosity will help you uncover new facts and you'll even get someone to spill a juicy secret they've been holding on to for quite a while!

Capricorn:

Today you will need to deal with a relationship issue as early as you can -- but luckily, it will end up being pretty much a non-issue as soon as you two start talking. You are both good at communicating what you need, and even better at listening to what the other person has to say. Together, you can come up with the solution in no time -- and be able to start having fun much sooner than you had hoped! The best plan is a low-key one. A nice early dinner and lots of talk is the perfect idea.

Aquarius:

Today, you may suddenly sense a disturbance in the room -- someone has just said something controversial, and all eyes are on them. Instead of joining in on the recriminations, just do your own thing. Ignore the growing dramas around you and quietly move along according to your own agenda. Adding your voice to the mix will only add fuel to the fire. Folks have been waiting for an excuse to get angry, but you shouldn't be a part of it. Try not to let their antics distract you.

Pisces:

After a little bit of a rocky period, the balance of power between you and a romantic or professional partner is healthy again, today. Each of you is performing your half of the duties well, so this is a time of great stability for you two. As a strong team, you can begin to explore new territory together. It is time to have that discussion you've been putting off. Find out if what they want for the future is the same as what you want, then take it from there.

All:
