Daily horoscopes for 23rd September, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

You might find that good energy is a bit hard to come by, today -- everyone seems to be grumpy or holding a grudge that they just won't let go of. Your first urge might be to try and cheer them up, but you should resist it. Not only will trying to affect the moods of other people be a total waste of your time, it's really none of your business. Just focus on keeping yourself bright and cheerful. And the best way to ensure that is to keep your distance from the people who are in bad moods.

Taurus:

Do you think that if you spend your energy trying to make other people happy that you'll end up making yourself happy? That kind of logic won't work today -- if you want to be happy, you've got to make yourself happy. It feels good to come to the aid of other people, but you won't get a true sense of self-nurturing unless you do something selfish, today. Carve out some time in this day to treat yourself to something you want -- and don't feel guilty about it!

Gemini:

It's going to take a lot of patience to deal with a friend who is going to be spoiling your fun, today. They're in a cheap mood, not willing to cough up the money that an upcoming social event requires. But if they don't want to pay they can't play -- this is a simple equation you'll need to remind them of. And as soon as you do, they'll find the money, miraculously! But don't expect them to put an end to their negative energy or complaining. Just beware.

Cancer:

Old things can be new and exciting for you, right now. And old flame could pop back up on the scene and shake up your world. An old photo might stir up some strange new feelings. Even a song on the oldies station could send your imagination off in a new-and-exciting direction. There is real opportunity in these blasts from the past, so explore them as much as time allows, today. You have learned lessons, and these touchstones to the past will remind you what they were.

Leo:

You're feeling very sensitive to the problems of other people -- your empathy is high, and your thoughts could be distracted by worry. This is not a comfortable feeling, and this level of compassion for others might not be too healthy for you. You've been putting the needs and wishes of other people over your own for too long, and you need to work harder to find balance. You deserve to think of yourself first once in a while. Don't concern yourself with the problems of others.

Virgo:

It's time for you to take your turn organizing a new social outing. It doesn't have to be major, and it doesn't have to involve a lot of different people. Maybe it's just a brief afternoon outing with someone you haven't seen in a while. But you have to consciously plan something out -- spontaneous get-togethers just aren't going to pan out at this point in your life. Too many schedules are too unpredictable, so there it's not wise to leave things up in the air.

Libra:

Looks like that worry you had was just a false alarm -- so today you will finally get the green light! So rest easy and breath a deep sigh of relief -- you made it! You won't be hearing any more from that unsavory person (at least not for a while). You'll experience a huge and wonderful release of tension today, which will put a smile on your face and help you see your life in a much more positive way. Things are going to be okay after all! Use the afternoon to celebrate.

Scorpio:

Your expectations are growing too lofty right now -- you are aiming so high that you are bound to be disappointed when reality hits. You need to scale back your ambitions and believe that everything is happening the way it needs to happen, in the best time frame. Getting comfortable with having less control over where your life is going right now is easier than you think. All you need to do is open your heart and let someone else make the decisions for now.

Sagittarius:

You are in a very open-minded phase, where you could do something that isn't necessarily good for you --temptations will be strong, today. So the best way to avoid spending too much, eating too much or doing something else you will regret later on is to keep busy! And if your plate is empty, then ask your friends, family members and coworkers if they need help with anything. Idle hands are not good things to have today, so even if you have to resort to cleaning the house, you should.

Capricorn:

You'll get the greatest amount of satisfaction from encountering unfamiliar topics and meeting new people today -- you need newness in the ideas that you process to feel like you're making progress. So do whatever it takes to feed your brain some new input, and try to do it early in the day. Thinking the same way about the same things over and over again is bound to get boring, so this increase in your curiosity level is completely normal.

Aquarius:

There have been more and more misunderstandings going on in your social circle lately, and this needs to come to a halt -- it is causing too much stress and useless discourse. Next time confusion erupts, you need to get the interested parties in the same room together. Trying to solve this issue over email is only going to make the problem worse. You can't move on to more good times unless you put an end to arguments and tension. Honesty is the fastest, smartest route to take, too.

Pisces:

Even though you love them all dearly, your friends are just not in synch with you right now -- they've got their own agendas and projects and they might not have time for you. Try not to get frustrated if you have a hard time communicating with them. If you need to talk to one of them, don't beat around the bush with what your message is. Come clean with what you are thinking and just speak from the heart. Unless you need to talk to them, it might be wiser to give them space.
