{Daily horoscope for Thursday, July 30, 2009. NOTE: The daily horoscopes will be suspended for the month of August, as I will be on annual leave and these cannot be pre-scheduled in advance. Trusting you will understand.}
(Capricorn, December 22 to January 19: Have a little patience and hold back on any urge to push, and all the little details might just work themselves out. It's a hard stance to take, especially for someone who's as driven and hard working as you are, but one of the tricks about life is knowing when to rest and take a step back, as well as when to push forward with all your effort. Now is a moment in which you should rest.) (Aquarius, January 20 to February 18: Making connections is important today. Therefore, you should call upon your charm, perseverance, and attention to detail to help you make the most out of the opportunities at hand. If you are thinking of a career move, sending out some feeler emails to people you know 'in the biz' could yield some very interesting leads. If you are working your way down the romance path, someone from your past is interested in reconnecting -- give them a call and see what's new.) (Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Stop going in circles -- like being on a merry-go-round, it's lots of fun at first, but then after a few minutes, you could start to feel just a touch nauseous. Even if you're not sure where you want to go just yet, it's imperative that you clear your head before you make any big decisions. Take your time and move at your own pace while you're at it -- rushing into something could be a big mistake. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

("If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation." ~ Helen Keller.

(Libra, September 23 to October 22: You're an expert when it comes to reading people. You know what they're up to before they do, just by listening to the tone of their voices and watching their eyes. Those talents will come in handy now, especially if you cross paths with someone who thinks of you as an easy target. You're so far from that right now that it's actually laughable -- but it won't hurt to let them keep thinking along those lines.) (Scorpio, October 23 to November 21: You pride yourself on being a master judge of character. At the moment, however, your talents in that department aren't quite fully operational. One minute in the company of that certain someone you've been thinking about nonstop will prove that to you. Better step back and take a deep breath, especially if you've been asked for a favor you know isn't quite on the up and up. There's nothing more memorable than strength.) (Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: One more day of hiding out from the world, and you'll be back in the mood for your usual gig -- putting even the most accomplished social butterfly to shame. In the meantime, don't allow yourself to be dragged out into the spotlight if you're not ready to go. Rest, relax and regroup. If anyone deserves some time alone to get those batteries recharged, it's you -- and the audience will wait for your next performance.Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

(... have been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do with the rest of my life, so I started recording a list of the things I'd like to do in this lifetime... one of which is to visit Japan... then ironically tonight I was led to this enticing blog (via the lovely Crystal from Plush Palate) on which I found these gorgeous images... coincidental or faith? I'd love to hear whether you have a list and what's on it... more of my list will follow via separate posts...)
