Daily horoscopes for 21st December, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Whoever has been telling you that you are selfish is merely projecting their own selfishness on to you -- you know what you have done, and you know that you've done enough! There is too much noise coming at you from people who think that they know how you should run your life. Get some space from these know-it-alls and go spend time with a person who never tries to tell you what to do. You deserve unconditional love right now. You know where to get it, so go there as early in the day as possible.

Taurus:

Have you gotten a bit lazy about exploring new things? It can seem like a lot of work to try something new or investigate a new restaurant to go to with friends. The tried-and-true is so easy and safe! But unless you add a new element of the unfamiliar to your life, how are you going to find any exhilaration or inspiration? Try someplace new today, or start a conversation with a stranger. Keep trying new things until something exciting happens.

Gemini:

There could be a personality clash between a couple people in a group today, but it will be very entertaining -- you'll have a front row seat to all the juicy drama that goes down and you won't believe some of what you hear! You don't have to shy away from tossing in your two cents, either. Feeding the fire isn't usually a good idea, but on days like today the higher the fire goes, the better. These folks are getting a taste of their own medicine, and it's delicious -- for you.

Cancer:

You can depend on the people who are offering to help you out right now, so throw all your doubt out the window. They are even more impatient than you are about making progress, so let yourself lean on them more than you normally would. They are more than happy to cheerlead. They want to keep you feeling positive, so let them! They are able to show you that there is a light at the end of this tunnel -- you just need to keep walking towards it.

Leo:

You should try to accept all the oddities that you encounter today, because when you mix a little bit of weird into your normal routine, it creates a good combination of unpredictability and stability! There is no such thing as 'normal', and people who have lots of idiosyncrasies are going to be incredibly interesting to you -- at least for today. You'll love striking up conversations with people who look, talk and think differently than you do.

Virgo:

Interpersonal conflicts might distract you from important tasks you need to deal with, so try to clear the air as early in the day as possible. You have a few tough choices to make, but having an indecisive nature is no excuse for taking too long to make your picks. If you have to, flip a coin! Or ask a friend who has been in your situation before to hear you out -- do not worry that you will come off as weak. Asking for input shows that you are collaborative and intelligent.

Libra:

Today, your small actions can trigger monumental events, so you should apply a judicious amount of restraint to everything you do and say. The last thing you should do is act too impulsively or aggressively, especially around new people. You could be starting in on something you don't really want to get involved with. And on that note, watch how friendly you are with new people -- they could easily confuse your kind and polite behavior with something more. They might think you are flirting with them!

Scorpio:

Other people have been awfully hard on you lately, seemingly for no reason, and it's been affecting your self esteem. To get back in balance with your confidence, you need to start being easy on yourself right now -- don't take all of the criticism being tossed your way seriously. A lot of it is rooted in jealousy and in resentment, so consider the source each time you hear a complaint. You deserve what you have, so don't think twice about celebrating your achievements.

Sagittarius:

Today you are well-suited for conversation and laughter, but not so much ready to put your shoulder to the wheel and work really hard. So take a step back today and just let things simmer for a while. Put your energy into cultivating and strengthening your personal relationships and just have fun hanging out for a while with your favorite people. There is no stop clock running on you, so there is no need to hurry. You'll get things done when they need to be done.

Capricorn:

You have a lot of momentum going with one of your new projects, so you can afford to put things on auto pilot for a while. Slow down today and give yourself a chance to kick off your shoes. Sit down and get comfortable. Reacquaint yourself with some friends you haven't been able to spend that much time with. Things can't always happen as quickly as you want them to, but they will happen -- you have to have faith in that. In the meantime, get back to living your life.

Aquarius:

Complicated issues and processes won't phase you in the least today -- your brain is razor sharp, and it is ready to dissect issues, untie intellectual knots, and come up with some mind blowing solutions. Right now is the perfect time for you to sign up for a class, start a challenging novel, or try to learn a new hobby. Learning is a snap for you right now, and it will offer you a great sense of achievement. Experiencing something that tests you will show you what you're made of.

Pisces:

Avoid lending anyone any money today, especially your close friends. It's not wise to set up a dynamic where one person owes something to someone else right now. You could get too preoccupied with settling a balance due to you than in just enjoying the friendship. You don't need the distraction, and they don't need the money that badly. Or if they do, they can get it from someone else. Keep finances and friendships as separate as you possibly can.
