Daily horoscopes for 2nd January, 2009

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Try to relax and just clear your mind of negative things today. This isn't about ignoring real problems you may be confronted with, it's about learning how to let go of worry and let yourself focus on more productive things -- things that you can control. Because there are just too many things in your life that you just can't do anything about, and if you spend all your time distracted by them, you'll only frustrate yourself. You can be happy if you really want to be.

Taurus:

Your friends are the greatest gifts you have ever given yourself -- you chose them to be in your life and they've done so much to make you grateful you did. When was the last time you showed them how much you value them? Today, reach out and just let them know how much you appreciate them. Send some silly email greeting cards, invite one or two of them over for dinner. Have some good times together and let them know that you'll never take them for granted.

Gemini:

The challenges you are facing at work or at school are not only adding a certain amount of stress to your life, they are causing some frustration in the lives of your loved ones, too. They see how you are suffering and it's not sitting well with them. You might have to reassure them today just to keep them off your back and keep them from worrying about you. Work a little harder at separating your personal life and your career life and this kind of tension will never happen again.

Cancer:

Right now you are probably not feeling in synch with your friends or coworkers -- but that won't stop you from having a very successful day. All you need to do is give yourself some time to do whatever you need to do. Don't put any pressure on yourself and be prepared for your mind to wander here and there. Try to (slowly) get more involved in the daily activities of your favorite people today by tagging along with them. Or just sit on the sidelines and listen to them talk.

Leo:

You are going to be part of a very honest conversation today, but you might hear all the words that someone has for you as criticism -- and then get defensive. Be careful not to do this, though -- if you close up, you will be shutting out some important feedback that could really help you grow in an important way. Don't fly off the handle, because getting very emotional will only hurt you in the long run. It's time to take your medicine and get better.

Virgo:

Real changes are coming soon in one of your oldest relationships -- someone is finally ready to speak up and make things right between the two of you. But when this person steps up, are you ready to support them? If someone makes an effort, then you need to make an equal effort. Show them that you are always fair, that you appreciate and respect the move they are making. You can't be too critical of others right now. They aren't perfect, but you aren't either. This is a bonding opportunity.

Libra:

No matter what craziness happens in your daily routine today, you'll enjoy the ups and downs of it. You have a wonderful way of seeing the bright side of everything. If a wrench gets thrown in your plans, you'll catch it with grace and then build something amazing with it! No one can talk you down or rain on your parade right now because not only do you have the support of some amazing and powerful people behind you, you have a great positive attitude.

Scorpio:

Your dreams have always been interesting -- or at the very least confusing -- but right now they are important. These night visions could provide you with some valuable insight about what is going on in your subconscious and confirm a few suspicions you've been having about a person you trust. Talk to someone else who knows this person and find out what they know about the situation you're worried about. Suspicions can be more about your fears than about reality, so double check.

Sagittarius:

You've got more freedom in your social life right now than ever before -- are you making the most of it? If you're single, take advantage of your ability to go wherever you want to go. It's a wonderful time to plan a solo outing. Go see that movie no one else wants to see. Take yourself out for dinner at a restaurant no one else has tried yet. Explore your world and expand your horizons. If you're in a relationship, then bring your sweetie along with you!

Capricorn:

Today will give you a wonderful chance to discover some new details about a person you have been trying to get to know better! They are even more interesting than you thought they were, and the two of you are going to find a whole new common ground. Your ability to connect with others has always been strong, but right now you have the right attitude and the right amount of energy required to really cement a growing relationship -- whether it's romantic or not.

Aquarius:

It's all about perseverance today. Whatever you are doing, just keep at it! You may be sidetracked from your initial goals by an inconsiderate person or an unexpected interruption, but you can't let that stop you from trying to get back on track! Throwing up your hands and giving up has never been your strategy for handling problems, and it you shouldn't even consider it today. People admire your stick-to-it attitude and it's part of the reason you're so inspiring.

Pisces:

Lavish yourself with love and attention today! Go on, you deserve some pampering. And if your budget allows, buy yourself something you have been wanting for a while. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else, so make sure you are happy. If you are in a relationship right now, make sure you aren't making your life all about this other person. You need your own identity. And if you are not in a relationship right now, make the most of your independence.

All:
