Daily horoscopes for 31st October, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Today you should try talking to someone you never would have considered talking to before -- you don't have to have a long conversation. Just saying hello is all it takes for you to open up your attitude about different cultures and different beliefs. It's not that you don't have an open mind, it's just that you don't always exercise it. You have to get more proactive about experiencing new things and different types of people. It's the very best way to live a fuller life.

Taurus:

Putting effort into minimizing your risk doesn't always pay off -- sometimes, you just can't avoid it no matter how hard you try. You could be paralyzing yourself by focusing so much on what could go wrong -- because a million things could go wrong, and you can't prevent all of them! Instead, you need to start focusing on what could go right! That will help you swing into a healthier, more productive gear. Your subconscious is actively moving into a brighter future, so why don't you follow it?

Gemini:

It looks like one of your more shallow friendships is moving to a much deeper level -- this is wonderful, but some of your older friends might be getting a little bit jealous that this newer person is taking up so much of your free time. This is a tough time for juggling people, and it could be stirring up some resentment. Try to integrate this new person into group activities so that everyone can spend more time with you -- and get to see how wonderful this person is.

Cancer:

Your energy flow will be nice and easy, today -- you'll be perky when you need to be perky, and mellow when cooler heads need to prevail. This is the perfect day to just relax and go with the flow, because that flow will take you to some wonderful places. The day is yours to mess up -- in other words, the less you try to control the people and events around you, the better everything will be. Trust the people around you to make the right choices, because they most certainly will.

Leo:

A vibrant and good energy is coming into your world, today -- and it could ignite your urge to travel once again. If you have the time, then take it! This is a wonderful time in your life to go out and explore new cultures, foods, and vistas. And if you can't take the time off, then try to explore the more foreign aspects of your own neck of the woods. Restaurants, radio stations, and even the grocery store can all help you have an exotic experience.

Virgo:

Despite how much you love your family, you'll have to let go of some of your family obligations today -- there simply isn't enough time in the day. They love you, so they will understand. But make sure it doesn't happen again. Investigate some new time management technique so you won't have to let down a parent or sibling again in the near future. You'll do yourself no favors by dwelling on their disappointment. Just do what you need to do and then get back to your family as soon as you can.

Libra:

Being idealistic is not the same as being stupid -- so don't be afraid to hope for the best and wish for a more peaceful world. When you focus on making things better, you influence other people to do the same. So it's never a waste of time to talk about what is wrong and how to fix it. Yes, there are certain things you can't change. But there is so much that you can change! For starters, you can turn a blue friend happy again just by giving them a call. Start with that.

Scorpio:

Today, animpulse will be your saving grace! In the midst of any action, you might suddenly have an urge to make a different choice or go another way. And if you do, you should obey that urge! Switch your lunch order if the mood hits. Take a different way home from work if you feel like it. Buy a different brand of coffee than you usually buy. By introducing more spontaneity in your life, you are encouraging more unexpected (and exciting!) things to start happening.

Sagittarius:

Fulfill your responsibilities as early as you can, today -- and then spend the rest of your day exploring the things that interest you, whatever they may be. Being happy should be first priority today -- after all, if you aren't happy in your life, how can you be a good sibling, friend, partner, student or employee? As long as you're not ignoring someone who really needs you right now, your free time should be yours today. Use it to recharge your batteries and relax.

Capricorn:

No one is perfect, and that includes you! So why are you holding yourself to such an impossibly high standard? You think that anything is possible if you just persevere, but that is simply not the case. Today you have to be smart enough to know what you don't know -- and get help with the things you can't do alone. There is no harm in asking for help. You are not doing yourself any favors by being so stubborn about this. Reach out and you will be greeted with warmth, support and understanding.

Aquarius:

Despite the negative attitude of one of your more uptight friends, you're loving hanging out with your favorite people more than ever, right now. Even that grouchy pal will seem amusing to you -- you love everyone's foibles just as much as you love their charms. This level of acceptance is exactly what makes you the great, non-judgmental friend you are. People know they can be themselves around you. There could be a big adventure coming for you and your people -- make sure you get on board.

Pisces:

There is a heightened level of sensitivity around you today, which means that your words have extra weight. So be aware that what you say will have a bigger impact than you may intend. Any feedback you give will be treated like a directive, so make sure you offer constructive criticism instead of just focusing on what is wrong. Overall, you will have to put more thought into how you communicate and make a bigger effort to be diplomatic. It's a good skill to master anyway.
