Daily horoscopes for 9th August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Be careful not to run yourself too ragged, right now. You have been working at an exceptionally fast pace lately, and there is no real reason for you to continue running around like this. You can still get things done by whatever deadlines have been imposed. It's time to slow up and simmer down! Take off your running shoes and put on some slippers -- you deserve some mellow relaxation. It's not only good for your mental state, it's going to be good for your wallet too.

Taurus:

If there is any uncertainty to your plans today, it will only encourage you to be nervous or moody -- whether you consciously realize it or not. You really need a firm roadmap, today, in order to feel comfortable moving forward. So use your morning to nail things down. Return those phone calls and emails and make sure everyone is on board with the plans. You can get the stability you need in no time, and enjoy feeling more confident throughout the rest of the day.

Gemini:

Someone under your authority is being willfully disobedient today, and you definitely have to remind them of their place. Whether you choose to do it in private or in public is up to you, but keep in mind that making an example of others can often be extremely useful for preventing other people from making the same mistakes. You're in a very powerful phase of your life, right now, and you need to keep putting yourself in leadership positions so that you can make the most of it.

Cancer:

Just like a yo-yo, you're zooming back and forth about a choice. You see pros and cons on both sides, but nothing is swaying you over to one or the other option. Don't be hard on yourself about being indecisive -- you're just so good at seeing things in a positive light that you're not seeing things clearly! Give things more time. Stop focusing so hard on this choice, and let your subconscious deal with it. When the time is right, you will know what the right choice is, don't worry.

Leo:

It's inevitable that you will overreact at least once today, because your emotions are right beneath the surface. There's a little chip on your shoulder and you are just waiting for someone to say the wrong thing so you can give them a piece of your mind. This is not a great way to make friends, so avoid large social situations now. Unless you can find a way to clear your mind and completely relax, your temper is going to be on a hair trigger -- and you can't trust it.

Virgo:

Is someone pushing you to make a decision about something right now? Then push right back! You don't take kindly to being pressured, and your emotional reaction to this pressure is something that you can use as a driving force. Let your anger or frustration help you stand up for yourself. Try not to get too angry, but do be forceful. Let this person know that they are not dealing with a pushover. You're one tough cookie, so don't be afraid to show it.

Libra:

Recent changes in your work or school life have been tough for you to get used to, but today you should finally start to feel like you're getting more into the groove. It's a good feeling, and it should leave you smiling by the end of the night. People are starting to notice you a lot more -- they definitely like how you've been handling these changes, and they might want to know what your secret is. Share if you want, but remember: A little mystery can create a lot more attention.

Scorpio:

One of your newest relationships is suddenly getting very intense -- you two are starting to look like you're joined at the hip! This is a crucial time -- you want to keep the momentum going with this person, but you could be in danger of losing sight of your own identity and your own goals. So you need to use today or tomorrow as a vacation from them. It's not that you need to have less time with them, it's just that you need to have some more time alone with yourself.

Sagittarius:

This is going to be a flexible day for you -- the energy around you will adapt to whatever mood you are in. So if you're dealing with some complicated stuff, you can rely on the universe to send you some slow and calm vibes. And if you are getting excited about an upcoming event or visitor, the universe will send you tons of light and breezy energy that will help the minutes, hours and days whisk by quickly and pleasantly. That way, you can get to the good stuff faster!

Capricorn:

Your life can be fluctuating like a see-saw from time to time, but luckily right now you're at a stable point. Before things get out of balance again (and they will), you need to take this opportunity to come to a final decision about something you have been debating. This is a good day for decision making of all kinds, but especially for the choices that affect your bank account. You can see things clearly, and you will know the right way to go without any question.

Aquarius:

Your need to feel socially useful is important to satisfy, but you do have the right to have fun just for fun's sake. Everything you do in your free time can't be about helping other people -- you'll lose sight of your own personal growth if all you ever do is think about the needs of your friends or family members. Don't give too much of yourself today. Make sure you make some time for yourself. Leave at least the evening hours to do what you want just because you want to do it.

Pisces:

If you're feeling unsure about a new person today, then by all means do not get involved with them! Even if they are influential and could help open some doors for you, it's not wise to go against your instincts, right now. Wait a while longer and get opinions from people you trust about what they think of this person. If things are on the up and up, their invitation won't go away. In fact, they will respect you all the more for doing your homework.
