Daily horoscopes for 14th December, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

You should definitely keep looking at things from different angles. It's the right strategy for now and for your immediate future. Your gift for being flexible in your interpretations has given you a reputation for being fair and considerate of others. But you might need to stop looking at all the angles just for a moment today in order to act more quickly. Taking time to understand the whole picture is always a better strategy, but it is not always the most practical one -- at least today.

Taurus:

Start getting more direct with your communication, and you'll start getting the answers you need from people a lot more quickly. So stop playing phone tag, stop using text messages as your primary way to converse with friends, and forget using email to ask anyone anything. Voice mail, text messages, and email can all be ignored or put off. But when you get face to face with someone, they have to give you an answer! Step up and ask people what you need to know in person.

Gemini:

Your creativity can help you save money! If your budget is getting tight, then skip the socializing and stick close to home. If you miss your friends, you could always invite them over for a casual dinner party or potluck. Cooking for your friends is another wonderful way of showing them how much you value them in your life. Think up some fun theme and get out your cookbooks. Search the web for some inexpensive party ideas. You can have fun on the cheap -- you just have to try.

Cancer:

Whether you want to expand your social circle, grow your career network, or just get some attention from a powerful person, today is the day when you need to start showing everyone that you are unique and worth listening to. So step forward and grab some center stage time. Make sure that the spotlight is trained right on you, and make sure it stays on you! You have been waiting for this close up for a while now, and you are ready to make the most of it.

Leo:

This is a great day to work with others, especially if they are trying to improve or beautify things. Don't be too modest about your ideas for the project, either. Often it's easy to influence people to agree with what you are saying by being enthusiastic and confident. Your input can help steer things in the right direction, so speak up and let everyone know what you are thinking before it's too late. If it's hard to get a word in edgewise, then make some noise.

Virgo:

An upcoming family gathering might not be scheduled at a convenient time or place for you, but it is more important than ever for you to make the effort to be there and be ready to reconnect to the people who love you. You need to remind them -- and yourself -- that the love you share is important, not something to take for granted. So if you are undecided about whether or not to go, today you should decide in the affirmative. You will be very glad you did.

Libra:

There is a lot of duality in your life right now -- too much, actually. One of the people you thought was an original thinking is starting to follow the crowd and it's disappointing you. They are turning into a copycat and it's up to you to remind them how wonderfully unique they are. Tell them that if they could just keep being genuine and true to who they are, they would find the happiness they seek. There is no point in changing who you are to get what you think you want.

Scorpio:

This is the perfect day to just relax and go with the flow, because that flow will take you to some wonderful places. So try not to push back or control things. The less effort you put into directing how things will go, the better everything will be. You have got to start trusting the people around you to make the right choices -- they know what they are doing. While they might have a different style than you, they still know how to get the job done.

Sagittarius:

Are all of your attitudes stuck in the past? Holding onto the same opinion forever does not speak well of your flexibility or intelligence. If new facts or figures come to light today, you need to take them seriously and listen without objection. Be brave enough to adjust some of your thinking and admit that maybe things have changed for you. Not only is it natural to re-evaluate your position on controversial topics, it is intelligent.

Capricorn:

Going out with friends and having lots of fun is a great thing to do, but you should not be doing it every single night. If all you do is go out and socialize, you might be avoiding something that you need to deal with. It's time to stay closer to home for a while. Get back in touch with yourself, and let yourself think about the things you haven't wanted to think about. They are not that bad. Big issues tend to crumble when you look at them honestly and try to dissect them.

Aquarius:

Strangers could have a positive impact on your life now -- especially the ones who have reached a goal you've been struggling to reach. That makes today a great time to reach out. Be more outgoing with people you don't know. Do not be afraid to walk up and talk to a total stranger. After all, they could turn out to be your next boss, best friend, or sweetheart! It's not intimidating to get to know someone, it's exciting. Imagine all the things they've done that you've never even thought of.

Pisces:

If you get stuck in a situation that might escalate into a confrontation, quick -- use your sense of humor to diffuse things! If an annoying or pushy person comes into your world today, crack a joke to let them know you're not intimidated by them, or amused by their antics. They'll get the message loud and clear and fall right in line. Plus, when you deliver your wit, you'll also be entertaining the people who are watching you cut them down to size.
