Daily horoscopes for 10th September, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Someone who claims to be an expert in something actually doesn't know what the heck they are talking about. But is it up to you to set them straight? Not if it could make you look bad. Your reputation should be your top concern today, which means that you might need to do things you would not normally do, or avoid doing things you think you should do. So just let all of the chips fall where they may, and avoid getting your hands dirty in the process.

Taurus:

Share some helpful words with someone in your life who is struggling, right now. They don't have the patience it takes to get through this rough patch in their life and could really use a pep talk. Speak from your experience, and tell them what you think they should do. Be wary of sounding too like a preacher type of person -- that's not who you are. You shouldn't judge, you should only encourage them to keep going. Remind them that every step they take means they're one step closer.

Gemini:

If you feel you are in the wrong situation at work or school right now, you should talk to someone who has been through it before -- get insight from a friend or coworker who's always been willing to help you in the past. Find out what they think you should do. Avoid talking to anyone who is too close to your situation themselves. They aren't likely to have any objectivity about the situation, and could use your trust as an opportunity to advance their own issues and hidden agendas.

Cancer:

Things have been pretty heavy with you and someone else, although not unpleasantly so. But today, you need to balance that energy out. Stick to lighter topics and trivial matters. Instead of having a heart to heart talk for hours, why not just take in a movie or go bowling? Not every exchange has to be profound to be important. Show this person that you are multifaceted and capable of being goofy as well as intellectual. They're curious about every part of you.

Leo:

When you are confident about yourself, the arrogance of other people won't bother you a bit. So in a competition, today, just have faith in yourself and you'll be fine. Sure, there could be some trash talkers trying to psych you out or make you insecure by bragging about their own accomplishments or going on and on about who they know. It's all hot air, and you know it. So just smile and be amused by the fact that you make them shake in their shoes!

Virgo:

Your healthy ambition needs more room to play, so you can expect it to stop being such a big part of your professional life, and start becoming a bigger motivator in your personal life. If you have been wanting to make changes in your romantic situation, this is the day to start making them. Whether you create an account on an online dating site, ask that fascinating person out on a date, or schedule some special alone time with your partner, the actions you take should be bold.

Libra:

You have your limits, and today you will have to remind someone of that fact. Be on the lookout for someone who is trying to take advantage of you. They want more of your time or money than they truly deserve -- don't feel like a grumpy miser if you want to tell them to bug off. You've been far too generous with them for far too long. Today it is time to cut the strings and let them float off on their own. They will be just fine -- you'll be doing them a favor, really.

Scorpio:

Do not alter your ambitions to match the ambitions of others. Always make sure you're focused on accomplishing your goals, not someone else's. Today, some powerful personalities are pushing their agenda and it might be hard to push back. But you can do it! All you have to do is refocus on what it is that you want to do, and if it doesn't line up with what this person is suggesting, then tell them 'thanks, but no thanks.' Let them tackle their goals on their own while you tackle yours on your own.

Sagittarius:

Take the sales pitch one of your friends gives you today with a grain of salt. Sure, they may sound one hundred percent positive about something, but your healthy intuition is telling you that this thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Do your best to alert your friend to your concerns in a very diplomatic way -- you don't want them to think you are attacking them. Help them see things more conservatively -- show them that they should be more careful in the future.

Capricorn:

This is a great day for resolving conflicts within your family or circle of friends. There is a lot of energy circulating among your friends, all of it focused on compromise and collaboration. Everyone wants to be on the same page as you, which means that they'll be willing to do things your way -- at least for the time being. You deserve a lot of the credit for getting everyone aligned, although you might not get it. Just be grateful that harmony is returning to your life once again.

Aquarius:

If people are trying to put restrictions onto what you can do, today, ask yourself what their motivations might be. Your goals are important, and you should be able to follow any path you think is the right path to follow. If someone is telling you to go another way, they might have a vested interest in slowing down your progress -- keep that in mind. There's no need to assume that everyone has bad intentions, but you should understand that you don't have to believe every word they say.

Pisces:

Don't feel guilty if you're buzzing along effortlessly today while everyone else just doesn't seem to be able to get the hang of things. Everyone has their own skill set, and yours is completely in synch with the tasks for the day. It's okay if things are easy for you from time to time -- and it's healthy. After all, you deserve to feel confident in one or two (or seventeen) areas of your life. Having to work and learn all the time just gets old after a while.
