Daily horoscopes for 10th January, 2009

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Feel like you want some time on your own? Well, that's good, because today is a wonderful day to take it. Do whatever it takes to get some alone time, whether you want to take a vacation day, work from home, or schedule yourself a getaway solo weekend. Keep your friends and family informed as to what you are thinking of doing, and they'll give you the ideas, support or time you need. Your inner extrovert is being overpowered by your inner introvert, and it is a balance that is long overdue.

Taurus:

Are you spending too much energy on getting involved in the lives of others? If so, you are depriving yourself of the attention that you need to be happier and feel more content. Going out with friends and having fun is a perfectly fine thing to do, but you should not be doing it every single night. All of this socializing could distract you from the things that you really need to deal with. Stay home more often and help yourself get back in touch with yourself.

Gemini:

If you are truly happy for a friend who has started a new relationship, be sure to show it -- they might be under the false assumption that you are jealous or unhappy about the fact that they'll be spending less time with you in the future. Make sure they know you are supportive of this new adventure they are undertaking! Giving them the space they need to explore this new thing won't be difficult anyway, because some hot new stuff is coming up to distract you!

Cancer:

Today, use any downtime you might have to double check the work that you've done so far. It's not that you have been sloppy, it's just that your recent good news may be causing you to lose your concentration -- especially when you are working on anything that involves numbers or other types of small but important details. And if you can, get someone else to proofread your work. They have fresh eyes and can pick out a problem much faster than you can do it yourself.

Leo:

Getting clutter out of the way in your day-to-day life will help you clear the clutter out of your brain too, so put some energy into cleaning up around your house and getting things organized today. Not only will you find it terrifically satisfying, it's a task you can turn your mind off to do -- you can give your gray matter a rest while you give your home a facelift. You will feel proud of the work you've done and you'll feel ready to face life's next challenges.

Virgo:

Don't be surprised if you are asked to help out with planning a big group event today. Your organization skills are bigger and brighter than ever, and people have been noticing. It's in your best interests to get involved in this event, even if you don't think you have the bandwidth to take on anything new right now. You can find the time and energy somewhere, and your reputation will soar once people get a load of what you can do. Your power is rising, and it's going to get even stronger!

Libra:

From the quality of your cup of coffee, you already know you shouldn't expect a lot out of today. But don't get upset if things progress even less than you think they will. One day's failure does not mean that you will continue to underperform. The worst thing you can do is to lose heart and stop working towards this goal. You are where you need to be, so just clear your mind and try to accept the fact that you cannot control this timetable -- just yet. Let other people take the wheel for a while.

Scorpio:

Having a healthy ambition is fine, but just because you have a lot of drive for success doesn't mean that you know which direction to go in. When an opportunity comes your way today, make sure that you don't just dive right in. Evaluate and research the facts before you sign on the dotted line and get all excited. Upon closer examination, you will probably see that this isn't everything you thought it was -- it might not take you where you want to go.

Sagittarius:

Beauty and other aesthetic ideals are important to you today -- but your current fascination with how things look isn't shallow, it's actually a deep part of your creativity. And the more attention you pay to beauty today, the more you are going to inspire yourself to come up with new ideas and new ways of solving old problems. You will attract new people to your life. So go on -- soak in the scenery, flip through some fashion magazine, and try to find a beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset.

Capricorn:

If you want to make a change in your life right now, make it slowly. Hurrying to meet a certain goal or rushing towards what you think you want isn't wise right now. You need to think things through. Take time, when you reach a crossroads. You have to be mindful of each step you take, otherwise you will certainly get off track. The newness in your ideas is exhilarating, but don't translate that feeling into speed -- translate it into dedication and perseverance.

Aquarius:

Stop thinking so much about tomorrow and start living in the moment today! There are a lot of amazing opportunities all around you, but if you are too busy thinking all about what you want to do next, you are going to completely miss out on them! Timing is everything, so make sure you are living in the present along with everyone else. The past is done with, and the future will be coming soon enough. It's time to just worry about what you're doing today.

Pisces:

Just because you haven't seen a friend for a long while does not mean that you two have drifted away for good. They still care about you, and they would love to hear from you. Today, call them up and ask them for some advice on an issue you are struggling with. The fastest way to get back in synch with someone from your past is to have them join you in solving a problem -- because finding a solution is a way of creating something new together. Things can start anew.
