Daily horoscopes for 6th August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Let go of the details today -- you have to face the fact that not every single one of them is going to line up nicely and neatly for you. But the good news is, your overall plan will work out quite well. It won't be perfect, but what is? You have to let go of that ideal -- it will only stress you out and make you miss out on the chance to feel proud of yourself. You'll get a lot more accomplished if you just accept things the way they are and start working with what you have.

Taurus:

While no one could get away with calling you lazy today, there's a strong possibility that you're not going to be very motivated. This is probably due to the perceived lack of excitement in today's activities. But what you might think sounds boring could actually turn out to be quite fun -- if you open your mind to it. Plaster a smile on your face and tell yourself 'this is going to be fun!' It just might be. It's not about fooling yourself. It's about expecting the best.

Gemini:

Someone's been paying a lot of flattering attention to you, but today their focus on you could start to overwhelm you. If this relationship starts bringing up some bad or confusing memories for you, you need to step back and give yourself more space to think things through. Do not worry that you'll be hurting the other person or spoiling the momentum. That stuff just doesn't matter as much as your comfort level does. Take care of yourself first, and you'll be better at helping others.

Cancer:

It is natural to want to compare yourself to other people, but there really is no comparison. You have your own, unique personality and inherent in that is the fact that not every single person you meet will connect with it. So what if you're not every person's cup of tea? All that matters is that the people who get you are the people you want to be around. So please stop wasting your energy trying to impress someone who just isn't worth it. Watch out for others who try to change you!

Leo:

Is a parent or coach just not giving you the tough love you're looking for? Wish your boss would give you more positive reinforcement instead of negative? Looking for a little bit more affection from your sweetie? If you want your needs to be met by others, you need to do them a favor -- let them know what it is you need! No matter how much they want to be what you need them to be, people cannot read your mind. You've got the diplomatic skills to say what you want without sounding demanding.

Virgo:

If you are going shopping today, watch out for impulse buying! Pulling out your credit card for every bauble, gadget and clothing item you see might make you feel powerful and giddy in the moment, but once you get home and take a look at your haul, you're sure to feel a creeping buyer's remorse. Save yourself the regret -- and the credit card bill. When you see something you want, walk away and come back to it later in the day. If you still want it, get it. Chances are, you won't.

Libra:

There is going to be a ton of romantic energy flying around today, but will you really have enough time to take advantage of all of it? As much as you'd like to, you can't spend all day flirting with people -- you have to focus on work, now, so that you can focus on fun, later. Trying to multitask the two is only going to make you fail at both, so make sure you prioritize things correctly, today. Get the boring stuff out of the way early, then devote the rest of your day to connecting with a cutie.

Scorpio:

Today you are standing on a firm foundation of accurate awareness: You just learned some critical information. You know the real deal, and nothing anyone else will say to you can change your mind. This level of conviction will help you persevere through long, boring meetings and help you handle people who think they know it all. It's also going to help you see certain people in a much clearer light. There has been a lot of fast talking going on, and not a lot of progress.

Sagittarius:

This is a wonderful time in your life for group projects, group travel, and group socializing. Everyone you'll be with right now is on the exact same wavelength as you, and that wave is a big fun one! Collaboration will be easy, and everyone's flexibility is at an all-time high. The energy created when your group gets together is positive and supportive, and you could use a great big dose of it. Toss out some ideas about where to go or what to do together. Cook something up!

Capricorn:

This is a wonderful day to expose yourself to new art, especially if it's from a different culture. Turn the dial on your radio or television to a channel where they're not speaking English. Leave it there for a few minutes and you'll be surprised how intriguing you find it. There are many ways of journeying through life, but you will only ever know the path you choose to travel. Every now and then, it's wise to travel down an unfamiliar side street.

Aquarius:

Today, you will be able to talk to absolutely anyone -- even the folks who usually intimidate you or make you nervous. So this is a very good day for you to ask for a raise, try to get some face time with the big boss, or ask someone out on a date. You'll give off an unmistakable air of confidence (that might be a bit stronger than what you actually feel), and this level of bravado could open up some very important doors for you. Stand up for yourself and watch how quickly people back down.

Pisces:

Finding a balance between what you want and what is best for everyone involved is very important today -- so before making any decisions, you have to factor in other people's feelings and goals. This could be difficult, because you can't exactly read people's minds. Luckily, your intuition is strong, and you can sense what people want. Don't bend too far over backward to accommodate them, though. Just let them know that their feelings were considered -- that will be enough to keep them happy and on board.

All:
