Daily horoscopes for 2nd September, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

When you get a closer look at someone's plans today, you will see quite a few holes in their way of thinking. This is a tough call: Do you burst their bubble, or let them live in blissful ignorance? You'll have to use all of your tact and charm to get what you want -- which is for them to re-evaluate their idea and not get defensive about the fact that you're not immediately in love with it. They need a dose of reality, and you are the best person to give it to them.

Taurus:

It is time for you to reacquaint yourself with the art of living -- work can wait, it's time to take it slow and appreciate the simpler pleasures of life. Things like a good cup of coffee, a pretty sunset, a cute little puppy, and a giggling child will give you more joy than ever before. Today it not about pushing forward with your workload or networking with the big boss -- it is about appreciating where you are and thinking positively about where you want to go.

Gemini:

You're going to wake up itching to be smack dab in the middle of a bustling crowd -- so get up, get dressed, and get to wherever the action is! Do whatever it takes to make sure you're one of the first of your friends to try the latest craze, eat at the latest restaurant, or listen to the hottest new band. Getting there first isn't always important for you, but right now you'll get an incredible charge out of experiencing something before anyone else does.

Cancer:

Do you feel left out of a secret, like there is something going on that no one is telling you about? Your paranoia might be justified, today. So go a little slower and watch for other people who might be planning stuff. Are they having conversations behind closed doors? Suddenly getting quiet when you walk into the room? These are definitive signs. But if you can find no more evidence than what your gut is feeling, you're barking up the wrong tree. Let it go.

Leo:

Don't confuse having fun with having no responsibilities. You might wish you had less on your plate right now, but you don't -- and you have to accept that fact and deal with it. But why not make a game out of doing everything you need to get done? Organize your to do list alphabetically and try to get to 'L' by noon. Give yourself a gold star every time you complete a task. Put a little of your famous creativity to work trying to turn obligations into fun challenges.

Virgo:

Beware of making too many impulse buys right now -- they could lead to more financial commitment down the road than you had initially anticipated, especially if you have an eye for shiny gadgets. Try to avoid making any purchases whatsoever today, even if that means packing your lunch. A new relationship is starting to feel unbalanced to you, right now, too. Are they expecting more from you than you're willing to give? Make sure you two have clear boundaries.

Libra:

It is a super day for flirting -- even if the weather isn't the greatest, everyone will be feeling sunny and ready to make you smile! So smile right back -- and bat your eyelashes for a moment or two. Hold that eye contact a little longer than you need to. Flatter them with a ridiculous compliment that forces them to blush. It's good to spread some sassy energy, and who says you have to follow through? Flirting is all about having fun -- and making people notice you.

Scorpio:

Today is the day to search for a new tactics to solve an old or recurring problem -- your vision will enable you to see things differently. So look at this situation once more, and evaluate your options. Then, choose the one that is the most intimidating to you. You may be looking at this opportunity and subliminally seeing nothing but pressure, and this is what could be preventing you from accepting a new challenge -- because you are afraid you will fail. But you only fail if you don't try.

Sagittarius:

You are right on schedule in your life, so don't worry that you are lagging behind or zooming too far in front. Just because you're not exactly in synch with others doesn't mean that you aren't where you need to be. Concern yourself less with what other people are doing and more on what you are doing! Enjoy the power you have over your life -- and show the universe you appreciate it by using it. You mood will stay strong and positive today -- be prepared for fits of uncontrollable laughter.

Capricorn:

Someone in your daily life who is from a different culture is exposing you to new ideas. Their perspective on things is slightly different from yours, and it would be in your best interest to find out what they think about a recent controversy. Although they will agree with your position on the matter, their reasons for feeling the way they do are based on a different factor. Understanding how people can come to the same conclusion through different methods is a useful skill to nurture.

Aquarius:

You don't have to be an intellectual to understand what's a smart thing to do and what is a stupid thing to do, today -- the difference will be obvious. Unfortunately, they might not be clear to someone you care about. Confused friends are stressed friends, so if you want to help them relax, help them understand the situation from a different perspective. Share your insight, but don't tell them what to do -- just give them some new information. You'll be doing them a huge favor.

Pisces:

The transitions you've been going through lately have all been very exciting, but you need to be careful not to assume that big changes equal big improvements! A new routine becomes an old routine eventually, so unless you are more conscious of the new things and people in your life, this transformation will be lost on you. If you've ever contemplated keeping a diary, now is the time to start. Reading about where you've been in your own words is always enlightening.
