Daily horoscopes for 13th August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

The comfort of home, friends and family will help keep you feeling grounded during any troubling or uncertain times. The people who care most about you always have a way of reminding you that the glass is half full, not half empty. So if you're feeling the need for an influx of positive thinking right now, set aside some time to hunker down and just hang with the folks you care the most about. The big wild world and all of its adventures can wait for another time.

Taurus:

If you have any upcoming travel plans, make sure that you have all the details finalized, today. Confirm dates and locations, double check routes and travel times. There could be a change that causes you to rethink one aspect of your trip. Check in with whoever was planning to go with you and make sure they are still on board -- you can't take anything for granted. And if this was going to be a solo journey, make sure you've got a copy of your itinerary you can leave with someone, just in case.

Gemini:

You'll get an unforgettable rush from discovering something new today, but it will take a lot of effort on your part to find it! Leave no rock unturned in your search for new sights and sounds today -- behind any new face could be your new love. On any radio station could be your new favorite band. Around any corner could be your favorite new coffee shop. Be thorough and don't skip over anyone, today. Unlock your curiosity and let it take you wherever it wants to take you.

Cancer:

Your brain needs a balanced diet just like your body does -- are you feeding it too much dry, detailed information and not enough fun and creative inspiration? Having fun is just as important as learning, and it's important to understand that the two things are not mutually exclusive. You can learn a lot by trying a new sport, dance move, or listening to a new type of music. Stimulating your brain requires you to expose it to a bigger variety of ideas -- reach outside of your own culture.

Leo:

If the recent proposal you tossed out into your social group wasn't received with all of the enthusiasm you had hoped for, don't assume that no one wants to do it. They might just not be able to commit yet! So just wait a while -- your friends have a lot going on in their lives right now, and they will get back to you when they can about joining in on the fun. And if you discover that a lot of people are too busy, be flexible -- find out what date will work for everyone, and then reschedule!

Virgo:

Your healthy ambitions are growing even healthier today -- you're taking on new projects and making new networking connections as fast as possible. You are so busy starting new things that it will be a huge challenge for you to just step back and relax, but you should make sure to give it a try. You will need a break later in the day -- don't skip it for the sake of getting further ahead. You're doing fine, and you need to keep your head on straight. Don't get carried away.

Libra:

You usually love working with other people. But today, you're not going to feel like teamwork is the way to go. There's a high possibility of personality clashes and of old issues popping up between you and someone else. So avoid joining any teams or groups, if you can -- even if it's just for lunch or an after-work activity. You're better suited to working alone right now. Not only will you be able to control where you are going, you can completely control what you're doing.

Scorpio:

Your feelings about your career path have been fairly ambivalent lately, but when you get a small taste of power early on today, you will finally see where you want things to go. Your ambition is waking up, and it's going to be hungry for new challenges and opportunities! When you see a chance to get out there and start making things happen, you should put everything else aside and hop to it. Reschedule social plans if need be -- your friends will understand.

Sagittarius:

Don't get involved with anything that makes you nervous, today -- especially if it relates to your finances. Obey your more conservative tendencies and play things safe! Schemes that look like sure things right now are full of potential snags and complications that could pop up later on down the road, so take a pass on any invitations. Don't worry that you'll be missing out on special opportunities. They are not worth the risk, right now, and you will be the one smiling in the end.

Capricorn:

You're going to finally see some (very exciting) results with your latest project. Your plans are working, and they are working well! So well, in fact, that you might have some free time this afternoon to spend on yourself, in whatever manner you see fit. Do you feel like sneaking in a matinee of the latest blockbuster movie? Go for it! Want to sneak in a nap before dinner? Do it. There is a growing sense of freedom in your life, and the best way to encourage it to continue is to take advantage of it.

Aquarius:

It's time for you to focus on saving more instead of spending more -- that fact will become all too apparent when you look into your wallet or checkbook today and see a lot less there than you need. A moment's embarrassment can be fixed by putting something back on the shelf, but the quiet knowledge that you need to get more disciplined about saving your money will not. Instead of telling yourself that you 'should' spend less, today you actually have to start spending less.

Pisces:

Someone in your family (or other type of group) is going through some heavy issues that you might not be aware of, and the way they're trying to work through them is affecting the group dynamic -- probably in a bad way. More than anything, they just need you and everyone else in the group to be patient and compassionate with them. You don't have to force everything to come to a halt for the sake of this person. But you know that exceptions can be made, so make them.

All:
