{Daily horoscope for Monday, July 27, 2009.}
(Aries, March 21 to April 19: The moon is urging everyone to make time for romance, and you just happen to be oh so in the mood to cooperate. If you're thinking of doing it up big, and it would be surprising if you weren't, why not succumb to the atmosphere? Indulge yourself -- no, indulge your sweetheart. Rent a limo and head to dinner at a five-star restaurant. Then bribe the waiter to bring a rose to the table just as 'your song' begins to play.)
(Taurus, April 20 to May 20: With any luck, you haven't committed all your free time to one particular person -- because more interesting, exciting and exotic admirers are en route, one of whom might disrupt the routine of your day in a wonderful way. Of course, if you're attached, your best bet will be to smile, say thank you to the fans and move along. Stay focused on that one quality person you so wisely chose -- who'll be delighted to let you know just how much you're adored.)
(Gemini, May 21 to June 21: No one's ever had to remind you that fun often comes from unexpected circumstances. So even though this weekend seems quiet, you'll have one eye open for a 'coincidence' that will bring you right to your next adventure. Of course, you know that there's really no such thing as a coincidence -- it's all about the universe arranging for you to meet someone or get somewhere -- but others might not. Educate them. Gently.

(Did you know green, white, black and oolong tea are all derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis evergreen shrub. The difference in antioxidant content occurs in how the tea leaves are processed after harvest. White tea retains the highest amount of antioxidants because it undergoes the least amount of processing. Green tea is processed more than white tea, but less than black tea and contains a level of antioxidants between white and black teas. Black tea contains the least amount of antioxidants because it goes through more processing. Red tea or Rooibos (pronounced “roy-boss”) tea isn’t actually from a tea plant at all. This caffeine-free “tisane” or herbal tea is derived from a flowering bush and also contains antioxidants. Tip source, Canadian Living Magazine.

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, July 23, 2009}
(Capricorn, December 22 to January 19: You'll witness an ugly exchange between two people you respect today. One of them feels more deserving of the praise the other one received. You know what it's like to feel overlooked, so you could be useful in helping heal the bruised ego in this situation. Make a subtle overture of support, but don't step right in and start telling people what's what. Offering your help is all you can do -- you can't make people accept it.)
(Aquarius, January 20 to February 18: If you spend too much time performing too many experiments, you aren't going to end up learning very much. Too many contradictory conclusions will be formed, and you'll be farther behind than when you started. Today, spend your time thoroughly exploring just one idea -- test your theory out, and then go over all the findings a few times. You'll enjoy the single-mindedness of such focused work and -- more importantly -- you'll quickly see what the next steps should be.)
(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: It might feel as though you're not quite living in reality today -- the universe is sending you lots of fantastic energy, which will definitely be a welcome (and very entertaining) notion. However, whenever your daily routine is put on its ear, you have to expect a period of mild discomfort. Luckily, by the middle of the day, you should be well into the groove of the whimsical nature of the day and at ease with the unusual (if not downright odd) activities going on all around you.
