Daily Horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, November 12, 2009. Please note, I will be no longer be providing a daily horoscope, rather...}


I will be doing a special feature post for the astrological sign that falls within the upcoming month. Watch out for these posts on the first Monday into a new month. For example, on Monday, November 30, 2009, I will provide you with a special feature post on Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21). I will then keep a side-bar reference to that post, for easy reference. I hope you have enjoyed these daily horoscopes. Although it was fun to do, it did require me to insert the content of each post each morning... even on holidays! I think we'll both benefit with the new approach.

(Capricorn, December 22 to January 20: If you want more peace in your life, spend more time with altruistic people. Ignore the drama kings and queens you encounter today. Every time you get involved in their drama, you're fueling their toxic behavior, and it's always a waste of your energy. The troublemakers and the takers cause waves and create problems, forcing your attention their way. Instead, focus on the people who give back -- they deserve more of your time and gratitude.)

(Aquarius, January 21 to February 18: Your eye for detail will help you notice things no one else pays attention to today -- hold on to these little revelations until a time when they will be more useful to you. Your mouth, however, is another story. Don't be surprised if you accidently divulge classified info today. Whoops -- it was just a slip! The best move after a boo boo like this is to smile and offer a heartfelt apology. You have the tact and charm necessary to get anyone on your good side.)

(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Follow through will be your worst enemy today. You'll start things and work on things, but completion is a whole other matter. Focus on what you can do, but don't burden yourself with too many details or deadlines. That way, you keep the momentum moving forward without getting overwhelmed. Checking things off your list is going to be a struggle, but you can still feel a sense of accomplishment. Photograph source for this week's horoscopes, here.)

Daily Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius

{Daily horoscope for Wednesday, November 11, 2009 ~ Lest we not Forget.}



(Libra, September 23 to October 23: Whichever direction you move in, take it slowly until you get comfortable -- the pendulum swings in the other direction of your life today. You may be confronted with information that makes you rethink your most ardent beliefs. If you are usually quiet and shy, you'll find yourself at the center of attention; if you're normally loud and gregarious, you'll be communing with the wallflowers. The change of perspective will work wonders.)

(Scorpio, October 24 to November 21: Step out and go somewhere you have never been before with a few of your favorite people. They want to spend some time with you, so why not grace them with an hour or two of your time? If your social life is starting to feel too boring, it's your responsibility to liven it up. Why not take a walk on the wild side? The people over there seem so much more interesting, don't they?)

(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: You are always prepared to hear the truth, but the truth might not come in such a diplomatic package this time. Someone whose opinion you value will give you feedback today that leaves you feeling confused. They may react too critically for your taste, although their intent is to help you. Try not to take it personally. Accept it at face value and don't blame them for speaking candidly. It's really a compliment -- they just care about you. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com)

Daily Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo

{Daily horoscope for Tuesday, November 10, 2009.}


(Cancer, June 24 to July 22: You will be struck by visions of what can be today -- when you look at a child, you'll see a glimpse of the talented adult they might grow up to become. When you look at an empty lot, you'll see the elaborate mansion that could stand there some day. It's a day of fanciful imagining and creativity, so apply your most positive way of thinking to everything you see. Imagine things the way you want them to be, and you will give the universe some hints to go on.)

(Leo, July 23 to August 23: Have you let your flirting skills get rusty? Shame on you! Whatever your excuse is -- you're in a committed relationship, you haven't been feeling confident, or you've just been a bit lazy -- today will offer you a major opportunity to add some sizzle to your day. Remember that flirting doesn't have to be a commitment. Flirting is just having fun! Let yourself loosen up a bit. Try to make someone smile. Flatter, titter and blush away -- you'll take a lot of tension out of the day.)

(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: When the accolades come your way today, don't be shy about accepting them. On the other hand, don't brag about what you've done -- let other people do that for you! True, it's a very tricky thing to balance your humility and your pride, but you can find a great way to make it happen. Creative impulses should be obeyed today. If you want to make or create something, then you must do it! Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Tomorrow, November 11th's horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius.
