Daily horoscopes for 14th August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

People will be giving you some wonderful feedback today -- but will you be able to set your ego aside long enough to listen to it without getting defensive? What they're going to tell you comes from a genuine, compassionate place -- they're not just trying to find flaws to pick on! They have faith in you, which is why they think you can do better. You are capable of amazing things and they know it! The worst mistake you can make today is to limit yourself.

Taurus:

You'll provide a valuable balance in your social circle right now -- someone is being incredibly inflexible, acting like they are the only person on earth and overlooking everyone else's needs. People are starting to lose their temper, and it looks like trouble is brewing. Since you are usually so warm and open to change, it falls to you to help this stick in the mud loosen up a bit. Appeal to their urge to be popular. Let them know that their behavior is not winning them any friends.

Gemini:

You can always count on yourself for good advice, and on days like today you should only count on yourself. It's not that getting other people's input won't be helpful, it's just that it could overload you with too much irrelevant information. Plus, some of the people you'll be around today will have their own hidden agendas, which will probably not be the same as yours. You know who you can trust -- you see them every time you look in the mirror.

Cancer:

There are a lot of things up in the air in your life, right now, but that doesn't need to make you feel nervous. Try to see this uncertainty as an opportunity -- you can make things go the way you want if you try hard enough. If you want to make a change, you can make it. Instead of projecting what you fear onto the situation, project what you want out of the situation. You will be surprised at how a little bit of positive thinking will turn the tide and make things fall into place.

Leo:

The work you've been putting in at the gym is starting to pay off, but not everyone has been following your progress as closely as you think -- don't get upset if no one has noticed you lost a pound or gained some muscles. And whatever you do, don't brag about how healthy you are becoming -- especially right in front of a friend of yours who's about to lunge into an ice cream sundae! You have to be sensitive to the fact that not everyone will make the same kinds of choices that you have.

Virgo:

You won't be able to schedule in fun time right now -- there will be way too many factors to pull together, and way too many people who just won't be able to commit. So if you're looking to have an adventure, today, don't consult your calendar. Just get out there! The key to exploring something new is to have an open mind and not be afraid of talking to new and different people. Dive right in to the messiness of life and let the surprises come -- they will!

Libra:

Do you feel like there are too many limits being put on you right now? Take a moment today to ask yourself if those limits are self-imposed! Are you making excuses not to move forward? This is a tough question to ask yourself, but you owe it to yourself to be honest about the answer. Add a little more ambition to your attitude! Push yourself harder, and you will push other people harder. Then, those walls of limitation will come tumbling down. You'll see.

Scorpio:

You might think that having no unpredictability in your life means there is less stress in your life, which is true -- but it also means that you have less excitement! Today, you should release some self-control. Let yourself be motivated by your whims instead of your plans. Be more spontaneous and you might discover a fabulous new hobby, person or hot spot. One little addition to your life could put you at a new crossroads. Exciting things are bound to result.

Sagittarius:

Music and art hold great appeal for you, right now, so try to squeeze some extra entertainment into your free time, today. Check out a new exhibit at the art museum, visit your local record store and stock up on new CDs, or just surf the net looking for the next hot band to become obsessed by. New artistic expressions will feed your intellect and up your energy level. It's amazing how a new voice or a new image can make you see things in a whole new way.

Capricorn:

The thing that will give you the greatest sense of accomplishment today won't involve you winning a competition or attaining a goal -- it will involve you adhering to a new set of restrictions you've given yourself. By building your self discipline, you are building your confidence. Every time you say 'no' to a bad habit or say 'yes' to something that is healthy but not a lot of fun, you are doing yourself a great favor. Keep up with all of your good work!

Aquarius:

You've been working your fanny off to try to meet a goal, and it might feel like no one has noticed your struggles at all. But before you hop on the 'self pity express,' stop and think about it -- the reason that no one is reaching out to give you a helping hand is probably because they have faith that you can handle it on your own! Don't assume that people are abandoning you or overlooking your efforts. Keep your head down and don't worry about who is or isn't paying attention.

Pisces:

Despite the political game playing that has been going on in the office lately, it's always important for you to treat coworkers with the same amount of respect that you would like them to give you -- they can be a huge help to you down the line, and you don't want to go burning any bridges! Think of your future, and assume that anyone who's on your level now might very well rise higher, some day. You want them to have lots of positive memories of you.
