Daily horoscopes for 7th January, 2009

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Perseverance takes patience, but it rewards you with more than you can ever imagine. Right now, you need to just keep going. Stick with things long enough, and eventually things will start to make sense. Thereafter, everything you do will have much more purpose and possibility. Even the things that used to confuse you will now suddenly click in a whole new way -- and you'll be struck by a great idea that no one else has thought of yet.

Taurus:

You have a little bit of extra money in your account right now, but don't spend it -- it needs to stay there! Don't overspend today -- it's much wiser to play it cool and keep your finances for that rainy day that is coming right around the bend. You should play it conservatively in all areas of your life right now, including a developing relationship. Don't push things too far to fast. You can't afford to make too many assumptions about how they really feel about you.

Gemini:

You can't let silly little spats get blown out of proportion today -- peace must be maintained, no matter how much you have to compromise to make it happen. A particularly combative person has been kicking up a lot of dust, but they won't be the rabble rouser today. So don't assume you know how things are going to be. Just stay on your toes and keep an eye out for someone to start trying to get everyone onboard the boo-hoo-I-hate-my-job bus. Make suggestions and soon everyone will be happy again.

Cancer:

Sure, being diplomatic is wonderful and all, but today you shouldn't feel like you have to mince your words -- especially with the people who are jerking you around. These folks need to know that you are not going to put up with any more baloney from them. It's a good time to flex your muscles and step into a bigger power position. People around you are going to be more receptive to your suggestions, and they are looking for the new ideas that you are sure to have.

Leo:

No matter how unlikely success might seem from where you are standing right now, amazing things can happen -- you cannot give up hope! Think positively, because you know deep in your heart that the game isn't over yet and you still have plenty of energy to keep going. What you need is still out there, and you simply have to open your mind to finding it. That person you were betting on will come through, or the money you needed will materialize. Just be hopeful.

Virgo:

If you are feeling confused right now, distracting yourself from all the conflicting emotions you're working through would be a wise idea. Go off and have a good time doing something silly -- go see a goofy movie or do some shopping. When you move these emotions out of your head for a few hours, you can return to them later with a clearer head. You can see them more logically, in a more analytical way. And then the right choice will be almost immediately apparent.

Libra:

You will be the recipient of some significant kindness from someone today, but there could be some strings attached. It's not that you aren't worthy of being treated well, it's just that some people are seeing you as a ticket to get them where they want to be. But what they don't know is that you are smarter than the average person, and aren't going to let them fool you. So just play along and see how far they will take it -- it could be quite amusing!

Scorpio:

Wear your thicker skin today, because you will be getting some criticism that might not be too constructive. But none of what you are told will get deep enough to really sting you. Most comments will be somewhat reasonable, but if someone has some feedback that strikes you as particularly abrasive, then take it with a grain of salt. They could be taking their emotional issues out on you. Try not to get too defensive, because arguing won't get you anywhere.

Sagittarius:

The people you will get along the best with today will be the people who appeal to your more analytical side -- the thinkers and the planners. Given the mental state you're in right now, you won't have much patience for flighty folks who are all about feelings and creativity. You won't be willing to bend to the will of people because of their charm or personality, but you might change your mind about something if someone has the facts on their side.

Capricorn:

Take this day off from heavy-duty thinking -- it's time to slow down the pace of your life and put your family and friends first. Send out some emails to the people you care most about. Let them know what's up in your life, and ask about what's going on with them -- one or two people have some exciting news to share and they've been dying for you to ask. Everyone is moving forward in their lives, and the joys they are experienced are only increased when they share it.

Aquarius:

Make sure that your appreciation for what someone else has accomplished for themselves doesn't turn into jealousy today. The grass in front of their house is not necessarily greener, so before you start coveting what they have, you need to remind yourself that what might be right for them might not be right for you. It can be hard to find contentedness in your own life, but right now you should at least try. Look around you today and count your blessings. There are many.

Pisces:

You will find it very rewarding to explore some aspect of culture today -- whether you attend a concert, visit a museum, or pick up a classic novel you will be sucked into the experience immediately. Seeing, hearing, or reading someone's artistic expressions will inspire new ideas in your head. Plus, you'll get a wonderful sense of community when you are in an audience, reading a book so many others have read, or looking at the same art people have enjoyed for centuries.

All:
