Daily horoscopes for 21st August, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

When everyone around you is rushing around, today, you won't be able to resist the urge to rush around with them, which means that you're going to have a day full of lively activity. Make sure you have a good breakfast -- and a good attitude! The morning might start off slowly, but once things get set into place and agendas get finalized, you can expect a lot of energy to be swirling all around you. Jump right into the middle of it, even if you're not sure what your role will be.

Taurus:

If you have been contemplating making a big purchase, just keep on contemplating -- especially if it's a big ticket item. Don't rush out and make purchases right now. Whether it's an upcoming blowout sale or an unexpected change in your needs, something is coming in the near future that could make you regret any purchases you make today. Socially, you are starting to compare yourself to someone is who an apple to your orange. Stop trying to follow in someone else's footsteps. Go your own way!

Gemini:

You're wrestling with a tricky situation right now, and getting other people's input on the situation is important -- you could really use a chance to see things from someone else's perspective. You should definitely check in with the friends you usually rely upon, but don't be shy about asking other people what they think, too. Not only will their unexpected answers make you see things differently, but they will also help you get to know these people better.

Cancer:

To get where you want to be faster in your career, you should consider teaming up with someone who balances out your skills. Two heads are better than one, and you both can help each other. Find someone who excels at things you're not terribly good at. This is a good time for collaboration, because any friction you've been having with authority is coming to an end. Doors are easier to elbow open than they've ever been, and your requests will be honored almost without question.

Leo:

Learning something new is impossible to do if you already think you know it all, so make sure to maintain your humility, right now. Not only will it endear you to people who already know just how savvy you are, it will help people let down their guard because they're not going to be intimidated. Helping other people feel more comfortable is something that you're awfully good at, and it is something that will enable you to make stronger personal and professional connections, today.

Virgo:

Any problems you are having with coworkers right now might make the work day a little unpleasant, but they are necessary. You've got to iron out your differences and there is no other way to do it than to talk it out and plow right through it. Be open to a different opinion and hear the other person out, even if it takes everything you've got to keep from interrupting them. The more respectful you are of them, the more respectful they will be of you.

Libra:

An upcoming social event has you torn. On the one hand, you're looking forward to it. But on the other, you are worried about how you will handle seeing a certain person again. Keep in mind that they are probably going through the same conflicting emotions, so this is something you have in common -- it's a shared foundation. Put yourself in their shoes, and you will know how to treat them. Things are going to be fine, so just relax and try to enjoy yourself!

Scorpio:

Someone you care about will be doing something that really irks you, today, but you will have to do your best to avoid getting angry with them. They are a good person, and you know it -- don't let your imagination carry you toward irrational thinking about why they did what they did. Things could get ugly if you jump to the wrong conclusions. So start a conversation with them about what's bothering you, and you'll get to the bottom of things very quickly.

Sagittarius:

This is an excellent day for getting a lot done and having fun while you are doing it! Whether you have planned a day of household cleaning and organizing, researching a new project, or running errands, you can rest assured that your 'to do' list will be all but completed by the end of the day. Everything will fall into place -- parking spots will open up, lights will turn green, and lines will be short! Time is on your side, right now, so make the most of it.

Capricorn:

If a new relationship that has been picking up speed suddenly comes to a screeching halt, right now, don't worry! This is not a bad sign that means things are not going to work out between the two of you. It is merely a change, and you should not read anything into it. If communication doesn't pick up again in a few days, then it is perfectly reasonable for you to find out what's up. But don't freak out right away. You will send out desperate vibes, and that is not who you are.

Aquarius:

Today marks the start of a holding pattern for you. There's no good spot for you to land right now, and it's much wiser for you to stay free and easy (and unattached!) than to tie yourself to some sort of anchor that is less than ideal. So just keep on doing what you're doing, and don't waste too much energy looking for something new. Being picky is still a good way to be right now. It's unwise for you to start any patterns in your life that could be regarded as desperate or careless.

Pisces:

Your energy is high today, but a little bit of exploration will boost it even higher! So get out there and dive into some new foods, sights, sounds and neighborhoods. You won't have to go too far out of your local area to find the fascinating experiences and people you're looking for. Simply by taking a new route to work or going to a new lunch spot, you will encounter something that you never saw before. Integrating this new discovery into your life will be fun, easy, and rewarding.
