Daily horoscopes for 28th December, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Today you've got to blaze your own trail -- following the rest of the masses will only lead you to yawns and sudden fits of narcolepsy. No one is up to anything interesting, so why even pay attention to what they claim is 'so cool' right now? You are the one they should be following. You need to go your own way in order to get any type of stimulation or excitement in your day. Everyone else is too concerned about risk, and they just don't see things the way you do now.

Taurus:

Your insight is valuable, but it is not always completely accurate, especially when you are in foreign territory. No matter how often you look at something from a different culture, you are not going to be able to see it from the completely accurate perspective. You can listen to your instinct, but it isn't wise to act upon it. Wait until you get some outside confirmation from someone who is more involved in the scene. Follow the guidance of someone in the know.

Gemini:

Fear has held you back for too long -- progress in your personal life has suffered as a result of your unwillingness to be vulnerable and open. Today you need to look ahead, pick your goal, and just go for it! You are not helping or protecting yourself -- you are holding yourself back. Whatever hurts you will also teach you. So accept the fact that you might fail here and there. Welcome the challenge of revealing who you really are to someone else.

Cancer:

You are increasingly aware of the world around you, which unfortunately means that you are also increasingly aware of the problems that exist. Do not try to tackle them all at once! It might feel like everything has to be addressed at once, but this is simply not realistic -- nor is it healthy. Make a list of what you need to do. Prioritize based on what can be dealt with first, and what needs to wait until you have more time.

Leo:

The sting of a recent injury to your ego has finally faded away, and you are starting to feel like your old confident self again! Today is the perfect day to test your confidence by taking on a new challenge. It doesn't have to be a big one -- volunteer for a task no one else wants, get back in the gym to lose those last ten pounds, or put yourself on a tighter budget. Whatever goal you choose, just stick with it until you see results. Then, your ego will grow even healthier!

Virgo:

Let your healthy ambition take over and lead you to a success you deserve -- the time for hiding behind the spotlight so that others can shine in its glow is over! Right now you are totally on the ball and more importantly, you have the eyes and ears of influential people. So stop hiding your abilities and toot your own horn a little bit more loudly than you think is respectable. Otherwise, you will never stand out from the crowd and get the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Libra:

A favorite authority figure in your life is acting unlike themselves today -- they are more concerned with saving face than with giving you guidance or inspiration. Because they aren't going to be challenging you to do your best, you're going to have to try to challenge yourself. Don't think that just because they are distracted that you get to take a day off -- are you only living to impress them? You should be living to impress yourself. You can fly on your own.

Scorpio:

A wave of creative energy is coming at you today -- and it might hit you square in the face! Take precautions so you can make the most of it whenever it does arrive, because you might not have time to think when everything goes down. Make sure you've always got a pen and paper handy so you can jot down every little idea and innovation that pops into your head. All these little gems you write down will come in very handy in the upcoming days. There will be some gold in there!

Sagittarius:

If your gut is telling you to heed the warnings of friends to be more cautious, you should obey it. Playing your cards more closely to your chest might deprive you of the fun of seeing how people react to your plans, but it will also prevent anyone from stealing your ideas. Someone who is very focused on money has been cozying up to you, and they might be turning on the charm to get you to spill a few secrets. You will be able to resist easily -- they aren't your type.

Capricorn:

You will achieve many goals today, rest assured. Sure, completing one of them might come down to the wire, but you'll get done what you need to get done and leave people impressed by your ingenuity and efficiency. A recent mistake you made has been forgotten by many people, so isn't it time that you forgot about it too? It's time for you to focus on the future and on all the great things that you are capable of doing. You are only getting started!

Aquarius:

Your usual tactic when drama erupts around you is to keep your head down and mind your own business. This is smart. But today, when you hear someone getting all excited about something, run to them and find out what is going on immediately. If you don't, you are sure to miss out on some amazing news! It's important to be on the front lines right now, because you'll get a huge competitive edge by being the first to know about the latest gossip and news.

Pisces:

Everyone is going to be in a big rush today. You won't have the luxury of being able to take you own sweet time, because they all expect you to be on their time table. While you might have to pick up the pace a bit to meet the expectations of others, you may be helping them more if you push back regarding their demands. When deadlines loom, stress grows, and you could be a refreshing reminder that things don't always need to be taken so seriously.
