Daily horoscopes for 11th August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Being frank is the name of the game today, and the good news is that it won't be as hard for you as it will be for some! You'll have a lot of fun telling it like it is, and watching how people react to your opinions. Some folks might be taken aback by how honest you are, but everyone will appreciate it -- sooner or later. It's a very liberating sensation to speak your mind no matter what the consequences may be, and it's also going to exert a very healthy influence over the group.

Taurus:

Sure, it might feel like everything you're dealing with today is confusing, but it will be confusing in a very good way! Your mind will be agitated, but it will also be using its synapses in a whole new way. And just like when you use an underdeveloped muscle you can wake up feeling achy, you might feel a little mental discomfort as you try to think your way through things. But your subconscious is getting active, and you're getting smarter!

Gemini:

Try to make time for conversations today. The topic isn't too important, but the level of discourse is. So seek out a person who you think is even smarter than you are -- it might take all day, of course, but it will be worth it! Settle into a chat with them about something you both have in common, and ask them the questions that will really make them think -- and really help you learn! It's a wonderful day for a lecture, especially if you can get a one-on-one with the speaker afterwards.

Cancer:

Are you ready to let one of your walls come down? It's time to be more vulnerable in a growing relationship -- before that wall gets torn down! Things are moving forward whether you like it or not, and you will really be missing out on something special if you don't hop on and let down your guard. They won't accept shallow small talk from you anymore -- they want to know your true thoughts and what you really want out of life, because they want to see how they can fit into it.

Leo:

Today, you should focus on meeting people and on building new relationships -- your current ones are all doing well enough to be left alone for a while. You have the right amount of curiosity for what makes other people tick right now, and you know just the right questions to ask. Plus, your easygoing manner will help them loosen up and really be themselves. So if you're torn between hanging out with an old friend or going to a gathering where you can meet someone new, opt for the newness.

Virgo:

There might be a lot of drama going on, today, but luckily you won't be suffering under the bright lights of center stage -- at most, you will be a peripheral player. All you have to do is just go with the flow -- roll with the emotional eruptions and odd arguments as they come. They aren't as meaningful as people might act like they are, and if you just remember not to take things too seriously, you'll end this day still feeling good about things.

Libra:

One of the best things you can do for yourself today is to be expressive -- and make sure you put your whole body into it! Wave your hands, shake your head, and do a little dance if you get excited. Fold your arms and put your chin down, if you get angry. Let the world know how you're feeling by how you look, and you'll save yourself some time. Plus, it will feel good to move around when you talk. It'll get your blood pumping, and it will get you noticed.

Scorpio:

You're getting a new attitude about a difficult decision you have to make -- you're ready to take a little bit of a bigger risk and thus (hopefully) enjoy a greater reward. This is a wonderful sign that your confidence is growing and your sense of adventure is back! You'll be in a more aggressive mood today, but you'll still have your characteristic warmth and charm to keep people feeling happy and comfortable when they are around you. This is a wonderful day for social networking.

Sagittarius:

There's a clown in your life whose jovial act is starting to grate on you a little too much, lately -- but it looks like you're the only one who is sick of their tricks! Everyone else just thinks they are hilarious, which is only going to annoy you more. Since there are no sympathetic ears for you to vent your frustration to, you might as well just step back from all the group energy and go off on your own for a while. You need a break, and you can always count on yourself to understand!

Capricorn:

You'll be moving, unconsciously, at high speed, today -- probably much faster than everyone around you. The reason behind this acceleration might not be clear to you, but it has something to do with a recent conflict you've had with someone close. Could it be that you are trying to run away from the issue? To make sure, get in contact with this person and get closure on things. You need to clear your mind so that you can get a more accurate idea of the pace at which you're living your life.

Aquarius:

You're in a very responsible phase, getting the job done on time and doing it well -- so well, in fact, that by tonight you should have little if anything on your plate. Some of your friends are noticing how together you are, and you can expect at least one of them to ask you for tips today. It's up to you whether or not you want to share all of your secrets, but you would be doing them a favor by sharing some insights. Friends will appreciate knowing what you think they should do.

Pisces:

To keep a lid on a drama that is about to boil over between some of your acquaintances, you need to stop being a blabbermouth to your friends! Do your part to keep everyone calm by not adding fuel to the fire. It might be hard to keep a juicy bit of gossip to yourself, but why toss it out into the middle of things? It will only make things worse, and you'll only be implicated. You need to step back and let these people work out their differences between themselves.

All:
