Daily Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini

{Daily horoscope for Monday, October 19, 2009}


(March 21 to April 20: It's a bad day to get involved with people, places and things you aren't sure about. Sure, this latest deal might seem too good to pass up, or that person might seem like the perfect match, but until you've done your due diligence and are 100 percent sure, hold off a while longer. Acting too impulsively is not wise right now. In fact, it could land you a steaming cauldron of hot water.)

(Taurus, April 21 to May 21: Love the music you and your friends make! After all, the differences, not the similarities, keep you all so close. You may not always believe those who hold different views, but you should always believe in your friends! Embrace and respect the freedom of interaction among you. Harmony doesn't happen when all notes are the same; it happens when different notes come together and create a beautiful sound.)

(Gemini, May 23 to June 22: People respect others who can keep it authentic, so let go of your ego today and just have fun! If you want people to know the Real You, you have to be the Real You. When you're overly concerned about your facade, you can't be genuine. So don't hide your unique personality and your quirks. You gotta show all the colors that make up your freak flag -- don't be afraid of clashing or meshing with others. This is your life after all! Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

I truly appreciate your visits and comments! Source, A French Cloud.)

Daily Horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, October 15, 2009}


(Capricorn, December 22 to January 19: You want to be extra practical today, yet things keep happening to prove that nothing is clear. You may be annoyed at someone who gets you all stirred up, then doesn't have the courtesy to follow through with a mature discussion. Even if you do begin talking about love, the key players appear to be at cross-purposes with each other. Don't worry too much about this interaction, for the energies will shift over the days ahead.)

(Aquarius, January 20 to February 18: You are taking yourself more seriously now, yet you know this phase won't last long. Even so, you could find the time to get into it with an intimate partner when he or she decides that your long-term plans are illogical. Be careful, for you could easily become obsessed with a current idea. Listen to the advice with an open mind and heart.)

(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Your attraction to intimacy today can be complicated by unexpressed anger or your belief that someone is trying to coerce you into agreeing with them. Fortunately, you're too clever and slippery now to be dominated by anyone's show of force and you quickly escape the clutches of emotional possession. But it's going to take a few more days of being in limbo. Once you put some time behind you, you'll be fine. Horoscope via Twittascope.com.

Daily Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius

{Daily horoscope for Wednesday, October 14, 2009.}


(Libra, September 23 to October 22: Pluto goads Saturn in your sign, prompting you to kick in the door to the executive suite and trample anything that gets in your way. Ambition is a good thing, but know it will take time and patience to realize your goals. Fortunately, you can court the right sort of people (including a special guy) who gently support your vision.)

(Scorpio, October 23 to November 21: LIKE THE UNIVERSE, November dawns with a big bang. Take a hint from fellow Scorpio Georgia O'Keeffe, who believed that to create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage. Put theory into practice amid the chaos, as this is your optimum month to promote yourself. Mostly, it's time to paint a new picture of your life, especially in relationships. Use bold strokes and go for what you want. Fortunately, your resourcefulness has you coming up roses.)

(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: Friends + money = disaster. If you’re unfamiliar with this equation, take a refresher course. The solution: say no, however difficult it may be. But do say yes to that friend when they tell you that dream is worth chasing. It’s time to formulate new action plans. One should involve upping your energy levels because you’re going to get very busy very soon. Horoscope via Flare.com. Photograph source, Skye Stracke by Markus Pritzi via Fashion Gone Rogue.
