Daily horoscopes for 3rd August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Today you should put 'good conversation' at the top of your priority list! But in order to make it happen, you have to be ready to take things to a deeper level than you usually do -- with people you don't usually talk to. Small talk is for small minds, right now, and since you certainly are not one of those, why not prove it? Instead of asking about someone's weekend, ask them how they feel about, say, international politics. You might get an odd look, but you'll also get great insight into another person.

Taurus:

Right now you can't exactly count on your gut instincts. Your emotions are going to be rapidly fluctuating, and what you feel one minute won't necessarily be what you are feeling in another ten minutes or so! So it's much wiser for you to stick to the facts. Hold off on making any big decisions for another day, when your head is clearer and your feelings are more certain. Give yourself permission to feel whatever you feel, today, without worrying that it could affect your judgment.

Gemini:

If you attend to the details and errands of your day all at once, you could be cheating yourself out of a very pleasant experience. You're used to thinking that these types of tasks are things to get out of the way so that you can move on to more fun and relaxing ones. But why? Going to the grocery store can be relaxing if you use your creativity. Pretend you're in a grocery store in another country, or take along your MP3 player to listen to music while you shop. Having fun is not so hard.

Cancer:

This is not a good day for collaboration or team activities, because your ability to just do what you are told and not ask questions will not be strong. You need to know what's going on, and you are not going to be happy just going along with the crowd. Therefore, this is a good day for any kind of solo endeavor, especially one that involves a lot of research or reading. Your mind is thirsty for input, and you are eager to learn something new or complicated.

Leo:

Today, your gut instincts won't be able to help you figure out your money issues! You need to review your budget with your head, not with your heart. In order to get serious about your savings, you have to assess what you have and what you want to have -- so get out a calculator and turn off the TV. You might think that one or two slips here and there don't matter too much, but they are adding up. Act today, and you should be able to prevent yourself from making a big mistake later.

Virgo:

A new relationship is going along swimmingly, and you want to keep it going that way! To do so, slow down. You need to be going slowly enough with your communication to be able to hear the small details of what the other person is talking about. They are leaving you clues here and there that will come in handy when you really want to impress them, later. If you can remember what they said or a preference they mentioned, you'll show them how much they mean to you in a wonderful way.

Libra:

Someone who is very perceptive will be targeting you, today -- they're going to know what's on your mind before you even know yourself! If you've been working through some issues or trying to make some tough decisions, they are the person you should talk to, today. Their grasp on this situation is firmer than yours, and they can objective about it -- which is something you definitely can't be right now. Lean on them and listen to what they say. Their wisdom will be liberating.

Scorpio:

Someone is trying to find out all your secrets right now, but don't worry -- they want to use this confidential information for good, not evil! It's time for you to let your guard down a little bit more with a person you're growing closer to. Let them in on what you really want out of life. Share your biggest worries with them and share all of your hopes with them -- because believe it or not, they want to help you achieve them. Better yet, they just might be able to!

Sagittarius:

Are you finding it difficult to go along with what the authority figures in your life are telling you to do, today? There's a little too much 'do as I say not as I do' going on here, and you're smart enough to see it. This is a tricky predicament, because if you go against the rules, you could face some serious consequences. Just go along with things for now, but make note of your hesitation. Put it in writing and keep a copy on hand, just in case. There's more going on than you realize.

Capricorn:

If you've been debating the pros and cons of buying a high ticket item, today is a good day to get to the bottom of it. Do some research about and find out the facts. It will only take a short amount of time to find out where to get the best price and when. A little extra legwork now could save you a lot of money. It's not wise to do anything hastily right now. In terms of your social life, don't accept any invitation too quickly. Make sure you can actually attend!

Aquarius:

There's going to be some disagreement among the ranks today, but so what? If you're on one side of an issue and everyone else seems to be on the other, it's not going to be a problem. They may have a different agenda than you, but all the people on your team or in your social circle can still get what they want. Just try not to get too paranoid about things. Mind your own business, and everyone else will do the same. There's enough mutual respect there to keep things positive.

Pisces:

If you are itching for a change in your romantic relationship, take heart -- things will start to transition today, if they are meant to. And if growth or progress between you two is not meant to be, then you'll know it soon enough, and be able to move on to greener pastures. If you are not in a relationship right now, then today you will start to notice tensions growing in other relationships. You will suddenly feel very grateful that your life is not tied that closely to anyone else's.

All:
