Daily Horoscopes: 11/12/2011

Aries

You’re ready to move forward with some changes you’ve been considering for a long time. It’s time to break free of confining relationships and arrangements. Some will think you’re being callous, but they don’t understand the price you’ve paid for being loyal. You’re the type who needs to express yourself, even at the risk of scandalising the public. Somebody’s got to tell the truth, and it might as well be you. If stuffy traditionalists can’t handle it, that’s not your problem.

Taurus

Having a secret gives you a new lease on life. As a general rule, you devote your life to nurturing others. This leaves precious little time for your own needs. Seize this opportunity to write a book, master a musical instrument, or take up a sport. Don’t tell your loved ones about this new interest. You’re doing this just for your own happiness. If others hear about what you’ve been doing, they’ll try to get involved or interfere. A little privacy will go a long way towards cultivating contentment.

Gemini

Joining a group will be liberating. Sometimes you worry your ideas are too radical for the general public. By aligning yourself with other visionaries, you’ll get the reassurance you want. Launching a project will give you the freedom to experiment with new techniques and high tech equipment. Sure, you’ll make a few mistakes along the way, but that’s all part of the learning process. Fortunately, the other members of your team won’t be averse to trying new things.

Cancer

An absent authority figure forces you to make up the rules as you go along. At times, you’ll get into trouble for taking the initiative, but that can’t be helped. If you wanted to get approval from the powers that be, you’d miss a golden opportunity. You’d also let down customers who are depending on you to finish work in a timely fashion. Continue to obey your instincts. They will put you on the path to success, and might even prompt you to start your own business.

Leo

You may be called away on an overseas trip. This unexpected turn of events will change your outlook. Suddenly dead end situation will be rife with possibility. That’s because you’ll realise there are all sorts of places you can live or jobs you can do. Putting yourself in an unfamiliar setting is one of the best ways to grow, both personally and professionally. You’re a lot more versatile than you realise. Will yourself to break away from a familiar routine.

Virgo

Unexpected changes involving your partner’s income cause you to alter your spending habits. Whether you take a loss or get a windfall, you should be putting more money into savings. Having a financial reserve will provide a cushion against lean times. Think of yourself as a squirrel gathering food for the colder months. Resist the urge to take out your frustrations on your loved one. The two of you are in this together. When one becomes too tired to work, the other can pick up the slack.

Libra

Taking orders from a demanding partner has become tiresome. You’ve always been quick to keep the peace, but lately, you’ve become rebellious. It’s time to assert your needs, even at the risk of causing an argument. Insist on choosing the movie, restaurant, or holiday spot. Be more aggressive when your ideas are challenged. Above all, defend your career goals. If you have to go return to education or move closer to a centre of industry, so be it. Your friend should give their support.

Scorpio

Your schedule is becoming more unpredictable, which is difficult for you. You’re a creature of habit and hate not being able to make set plans. Unfortunately, your job requires you to be flexible. This means having to go in to the office at a moment’s notice, or float from one part of the office to another. If you’re looking for work, you might have to take a series of short assignments to make ends meet. You’ll be offered a full time position after completing a temporary stint.

Sagittarius

Taking up an unusual sport or hobby is creating problems in your personal life. Your nearest and dearest are worried you will hurt yourself. While it’s true you need a greater element of adventure in your life, it’s also true you have responsibilities to others. Stop putting yourself in the path of danger for the sake of thrills. If you need a physical outlet, you can protect yourself with safety equipment. Wear a helmet, pads, and sturdy gear and refrain from taking foolish chances.

Capricorn

Your home life is undergoing significant changes, whether you want them or not. It’s better to prepare yourself for these transitions, or you’ll waste valuable energy on clinging to the past. It’s important to give a greater element of freedom to a relative who has been overly dependent on you. The sooner the two of you are able to attend to your own problems, the better your relationship will be. You’re tired of feeling joined at the hip, anyway.

Aquarius

Updating your technical skills will make you a hot commodity on the job market. You’re a fast learner and will have no trouble learning to operate a gadget or write a software program. This type of knowledge will give you a great deal of freedom. Executives won’t be able to micromanage you when they have no idea what you do. All they’ll want is for you to fix their problems so their businesses will stay up and running.

Pisces

The things you once held dear now seem relatively unimportant. You’re ready to leave inconsequential matters behind for the sake of something vital. If that means leaving a job that is making you miserable, so be it. You’re better off taking a position that pays less but provides greater emotional fulfilment. Of course, you still need to meet your financial obligations. Strike a healthier balance between earning a living and finding contentment. You can’t put a price on happiness.

Daily Horoscopes: 10/12/2011

Aries

A shocking bit of news causes you to change your habits. You can no longer indulge a particular vice that is jeopardising your health. Cutting out alcohol, fat, or sugar will be extremely difficult at first. You might want to join a support group. People who are undergoing the same struggles will give you the encouragement you need to keep going. That may sound simplistic to an independent creature like you, but sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective ones.

Taurus

A source of income could come to a sudden end. This puts pressure on your personal life. Romance will have to be relegated to the back burner while you’re busy finding a new job. While you’re learning the ropes, you’ll have to curtail some of your favourite pastimes. This is really difficult for a creative person like you, who treats cooking, gardening, and handicrafts as essential as breathing. Keep reminding yourself that this is only temporary. Right now, financial security takes precedence over pleasure.

Gemini

It seems like your entire family is projecting all their frustrations onto you. Nothing you do or say will ever satisfy them. It looks like you’ll have to strike out on your own, even at the risk of losing their support. Whether this means embarking on a different lifestyle, changing your look, or pursuing another career is immaterial. The important thing is to understand your own needs and work towards them. If that means disappointing your nearest and dearest, so be it.

Cancer

You haven’t had a lot of time to be alone, and it’s taking a toll on your health. As much as you hate to do it, you’ll have to establish some firm boundaries with a colleague who keeps interrupting you. Although you’re sympathetic to their problems, you’ve got your own work to do. Besides, you have to protect your interests in a job market like this. These days, employers are being forced to cut positions left and right. Now is the time to prove your worth as an employee.

Leo

Friends are growing resentful of a romance, and who can blame them? They’re sick and tired of being stood up. You can’t afford to neglect them any longer. Cancel a hot date for the sake of a birthday or anniversary party. Your loved ones have supported you through thick and thin; now it’s time to return the favour. This may feel like emotional blackmail, but it’s really just a test of loyalty. Lovers come and go, but friends should be forever.

Virgo

An embarrassing mistake comes to light, forcing you to admit you were wrong. This is very difficult for a perfectionist like you. Strangely, once you make your confession, you’ll notice people will become much more friendly. That’s because they used to be intimidated by you. Now you have come down to their level, you can all work together in a spirit of harmony. Resist the urge to cover up errors with lame excuses. The truth will set you free.

Libra

You’re undergoing a crisis of faith, and need some answers. Retreating to a private place where you can gather your thoughts is critical. Lately, a manipulative person has been affecting the choices you’ve made. You can no longer afford to be within their sphere of influence. Cut ties with this rogue and go your own way. This is a bad time to get embroiled in legal matters. Walk away with what you have, or you could lose even more.

Scorpio

It’s time to settle your debts, both emotional and financial. Breaking free of an obligation will make you vulnerable, but it will also prompt you to become more self reliant. Certain friends will be upset if you stop sharing your resources, feeling you owe them for services rendered. You’ve more than fulfilled your duties to these people. If your relationship is simply based on what you can do for each other, you’re better off going solo.

Sagittarius

A contract or partnership will experience a profound change. The agreement that once bound you together no longer applies. You’ll have to do some deep soul searching to decide whether you want to forge another deal or go your separate ways. An authority figure is bearing down hard, forcing you to choose between your personal and professional lives. The way it stands, you must protect your career objectives. You’ve worked too hard to throw all this progress away.

Capricorn

A work assignment comes to a close, leaving you at a loose end. It may turn out that someone with more training or experience will edge you out for a position. This just goes to show it is never too late to learn. Going back to the classroom will make it easier to get a stable position. It will also give you a chance to reconsider your career trajectory. Perhaps entering a new industry will expand your moneymaking opportunities. It’s important to be realistic in an economy like this.

Aquarius

Shocking developments prompt you to take a second look at a romance. The object of your affection is not what they seem. Take a more balanced view of their strengths and weaknesses. It’s possible money or sex is being used as a weapon against you. A temporary separation will give you a chance to view the situation more objectively. If you’re single, you might have to shelve a creative project until a friend’s personal life settles down.

Pisces

A property deal or move could fall through at the last minute. This puts incredible strain on an intimate relationship. The two of you will have to resist the urge to turn on each other when the going gets rough. Formulate a plan for moving forward. This might require you to switch roles or change how you interact. If you’re looking for a place to live, spread the word among friends and family. By taking advantage of your extensive social network, you’ll find a better domestic situation.

Daily Horoscopes: 09/12/2011

Aries

Don’t take an authority figure’s story at face value. A little research will reveal a deception. It just goes to show, it pays to do your homework. If you hear about a religious or cultural leader taking advantage of their position, file a report with the authorities. There may not be anything the police can do now, but establishing a paper trail will be invaluable later. Decent people can’t let con artists get away with stealing, lying, and cheating.

Taurus

A romantic spat will erupt when your amour rains on your parade. You’re sick and tired of having your plans shelved for so called emergencies. Your partner is always anticipating disaster. Until the two of you agree to stop panicking at every potential problem, you’ll never have any fun. A temporary separation will allow you to enjoy your favourite activities without guilt. Once you get a taste of freedom, you may never want to relinquish it.

Gemini

Make sure you have the tickets before heading out to a special event. It’s also important to have good directions to the venue. Give yourself plenty of time, or you could arrive after the doors are shut. A relative will be resentful if you keep expecting them to babysit. Maybe it’s time to offer some financial compensation for their services. Your relationship will greatly improve once you show appreciation for their help. Nobody likes being taken for granted.

Cancer

A health problem demands attention. Much of the damage is being caused by excessive worry. After getting a proper medical consultation, you should make it your mission to integrate relaxing activities into your daily schedule in order to ease the tension that’s been eating away at you. It’s also important to stop taking responsibility for things you can’t control. If a relative wants to keep screwing up, that’s their problem, not yours. You’re not their superhero.

Leo

Resist the urge to buy someone’s affection. You have so many good qualities besides the material things you can provide. The next time somebody asks for a gift or hints you should pay the bill, refuse. You have better things to do with your hard earned money. Besides, you two have such different values that it will be hard to sustain a loving relationship. Go off on your own so you can re-evaluate what you want from a commitment. The answer will surprise you.

Virgo

It’s easy to misplace your keys, wallet, or glasses right now. Try not to get sucked into the Universe’s hysterical vortex. When something goes wrong, stop, take a couple of deep breaths, and find your centre. Soon, you’ll remember where you left whatever it was you lost, and life will resume its merry pace. Resist the urge to tell a relative exactly what you think of their stupid decision. They will soon discover they’ve taken the wrong path.

Libra

Transportation problems might force you to cancel plans. Although it’s sad you won’t be able to see friends, you could probably benefit from some time off. Today is a delicate time for partygoers. Even if you’re feeling great, you should take this opportunity to make some positive changes. You have a chance to make some significant personal accomplishments by autumn. Think about going into education or becoming an apprentice to a successful artist.

Scorpio

A clash of values causes tension with a friend. You’re not sure if you can continue this relationship any longer. While it’s admirable you have such strong feelings, beware of being overly judgmental. There are all different ways of seeing a single issue. Your upbringing and social status have a tremendous effect on your beliefs. If you were raised in another part of the world, you might have a radically different philosophy. Keep this in mind during an argument.

Sagittarius

An authority figure will put you on the spot, asking questions you prefer not to answer. It will be impossible to deceive them. Refusing to give any response is the best bet. Yes, this will make you look guilty, but nobody will be able to definitively accuse you of wrongdoing. Chances are you are protecting someone you love. Consider whether you are willing to compromise your reputation for theirs any longer. Maybe it’s time your friend takes the consequences for their actions.

Capricorn

Dwelling on a loss isn’t doing you any good. Make plans for the future, before depression destroys all of your ambition. If you got turned away from an educational or religious institution, don’t despair. You’ll have other opportunities to study and develop your talent. It’s just a matter of keeping your eyes open. A rival organisation will be eager to accept you. Although it won’t be as prestigious, it will provide you with the tools you require to succeed. Be flexible.

Aquarius

Lack of reliable information makes it impossible to formulate a plan. You may have to postpone this project until you’re able to get the guidance you need. Try not to resort to threats. The more sympathetic you are to customer service agents and government representatives, the harder they will work to accommodate you. Don’t panic if a payment is delayed. You will get this money, but it will take a lot of patience and persistence, as well as a series of long phone calls.

Pisces

An authority figure is telling you one thing, but doing another. It’s impossible to get ahead in circumstances like this. Meanwhile, your partner is pressuring you to make a move. Instead of trying to meet everyone’s demands, make a strategic retreat. Go someplace quiet where you can think. It may be necessary to find a new job, where your work will be appreciated. You’re tired of having projects cancelled at the last minute, and being denied credit for your contributions.

Daily Horoscopes: 08/12/2011

Aries

Friends have undue influence on your values. Right now, you have to make an ethical choice. Instead of asking your nearest and dearest, consult your own heart. It will lead you in the right direction. You might have to stick with a distasteful job in order to make ends meet. Alternatively, it may be necessary to stop indulging some vices. Maintaining stability trumps satisfying your needs. If others mock your choices, so be it. You’re the one who has to live with the consequences.

Taurus

You won’t be able to use your social position to evade personal responsibility. Stop looking for others to do your job and roll up your sleeves. Yes, these duties seem incredibly petty now you are immersed in an important project. Still, nothing absolves you from doing the tasks that are expected of every member of the team. Once you make some progress, you’ll feel much better. You simply can’t move forward until you empty your inbox and go through your voicemail.

Gemini

Someone with questionable values has captivated you. Be very wary about joining forces with this rogue. Although you admire their provocative questions, you know their logic is flawed. Right now, you have to make a good impression on the public. If people see you associating with a rascal, they’ll doubt your sincerity. Cut this friendship off now, while it’s in the early stages or you could fall victim to a terrible scam. No one is immune to this con artist’s machinations.

Cancer

Your financial situation isn’t as secure as you think. It’s important to create secure passwords for your accounts, and check their balances daily. These days, everyone is vulnerable to identity theft. If you share an account with a lover, you have to establish one of your own, too. Nobody else should have access to this fund but you. It’s only common sense. By having a secret cache of your own, you’ll retain your independence. That’s critical to any healthy relationship.

Leo

Stop fooling yourself into thinking your primary responsibility is work. Spending more time with your partner is critical. Yes, your boss won’t be happy when you announce you can’t put in more overtime. They’ll just have to live with their disappointment. The only reason you’re working is to provide a secure foundation for your private life. If you lose sight of your most important relationships, your career will become empty and pointless. Are you single? It may be because you put too much emphasis on your job.

Virgo

An improper diagnosis is complicating your health. It’s time to get a second opinion. Seek out a medical professional who has lots of experience in their field. Alternative therapies have their merit, but your situation needs a more traditional approach. If you’re looking for work, you’ll need to get some additional training. All of your experience is admirable, but you’ve got to supplement it with knowledge of the latest technologies. Fortunately, you’re a fast learner and will have no problem acquiring new skills.

Libra

Romance has a way of clouding your logic. Just because you feel a profound physical pull towards someone doesn’t mean you will be good partners. You need someone who is both sensual and intellectual. If you can’t have a decent conversation with your lover, you’ll quickly become bored. Are you in a committed relationship that feels stale? Think about taking a class together. This will give you something to discuss when you’re not satisfying each other’s sexual needs.

Scorpio

Family secrets are spilling out, and you’re shocked at the level of deception that was involved in keeping them. Still, this realisation gives you an element of freedom. Now nobody can claim you should share all the details of your private life with the group. Establish stronger boundaries with your relatives. Don’t let them visit unannounced, or enter your living space without permission. This is not a good time to sign a lease or sell a property.

Sagittarius

Beware of drawing the wrong conclusions about a colleague. There’s more to your co worker than meets the eye. Dressing a certain way or ascribing to a certain belief system isn’t an indication of stupidity. Take the time to delve a little more deeply into their character. If you said something in anger, be ready to apologise. It’s never easy admitting a mistake, but that’s better than pretending to be infallible. Even a fair minded person like you can be misled by prejudice.

Capricorn

You’ll need more than money to help a child or lover. The best way to improve their life is to devote quality time to your relationship. There is no doubt you are busy, but you must adjust your priorities. Making money can take a back seat to personal ties. It’s possible you will have to get up earlier or go to bed later in order to accommodate your increased workload. So be it.

Aquarius

Putting up a false front for family is creating problems. It is time to admit how you really feel. Leading a double life is incredibly stressful. You don’t have to let your relatives know about all the sordid details, but you should be forthcoming about your true beliefs. At first, they’ll be incredulous that you have taken such a radical departure from their way of life. They may even avoid you in the short term. Eventually they’ll accept your way of life.

Pisces

Don’t let fears get in the way of making contact. You’ve got to talk with a neighbour or relative if you’re going to establish stability. Although your past communications have been difficult, that won’t be the case this time. The key is being as direct as possible. Don’t pretend to have someone’s best interests at heart when you really want a favour. An honest approach will pay off handsomely. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help. That’s why we live in communities.

Daily Horoscopes: 07/12/2011

Aries

There’s a hot market for your expertise. If you’re looking for work, explore teaching and writing opportunities. Sharing your knowledge with advanced students will give your confidence a much needed boost. Don’t be surprised if you become something of a celebrity on the educational front. Students enjoy your rapid fire lectures and enthusiastic attitude. Be sure to fill out paperwork carefully or your employer will be annoyed. Even a rebel like you needs to play by the rules.

Taurus

Uncovering a mystery puts you in the spotlight. Everyone admires your resourceful tenacity. You’re not especially comfortable with all of this publicity, preferring to spend a few quiet hours in the arms of a lover. Unfortunately, the two of you won’t be able to steal away from the madding crowd. Your presence is expected at a stuffy party or business gathering. Do your best to be kind and gracious to everyone you meet, as you’ll be planting seeds for future business opportunities.

Gemini

A clever, articulate partner helps you break past barriers that once held you prisoner. You’ve always been very good at handling small details, but often lose sight of the big picture. By entrusting your friend to create a long range game plan, you’ll realise your goals in record time. If you’re on your own, you will meet someone special in a classroom, library, or bookshop. The two of you will feel a powerful pull towards each other.

Cancer

Creating an efficient routine gives you time to kick back and relax. You’re tired of being surrounded by chaos. Take this opportunity to tidy up your office, make a ‘To Do’ list, and return messages. Once you get control of the situation, you’ll be able to go to parties, concerts, and movies again. You’ll feel much better physically, too. Stress always has an adverse effect on your digestive system. Meals will go down much easier once you make more time for amusements.

Leo

One of your most attractive qualities is your childlike spirit. You have a whimsical quality that informs everything you do. You’re the type who always needs to be acting, playing music, painting, dancing, or writing to be content. If it’s been years since you enjoyed such activities, reverse the trend now. Head for an art supply store and pick up some paints, paper, and pencils. Listen to some of your favourite songs from adolescence to prime the pump.

Virgo

Take this opportunity to make your home a more stimulating place. Clear out the clutter, paint the walls, and add plenty of thriving plants. A diversity of texture, colour, and sounds will invite you to sit down and soak up the atmosphere. It’s critical for someone with your intellectual prowess to have a comfortable reading chair. Choose one with beautiful fabric that provides plenty of back support. It should be as beautiful as it is useful. Invest in a strong reading lamp, too.

Libra

An ability to go with the flow makes you a desirable team player. People enjoy bouncing ideas off you, because you always give constructive criticisms. In your hands, good projects turn into great ones. Good news from a neighbour or relative triggers a big party. Invite everybody over to your place to celebrate. It may not be the most convenient time to throw a bash, but it’s important to celebrate the good times when they come.

Scorpio

It’s time to make your money work for you instead of the other way around. Search for bargains, cut out money off coupons, and do price comparisons. If you play your cards right, you’ll get durable merchandise that serves you well for years to come. Have you wanted to go on an overseas trip? You can find a great deal on hotel and plane fares. Book your trip now, as time is of the essence. You won’t find a better rate for at least another year.

Sagittarius

Your inquiring mind earns favourable publicity. By asking pointed questions in a public setting, you’ll establish yourself as a thoughtful, thorough member of the team. Certain authority figures will be threatened by your intellectual power, but they’ll soon drop their defences when they realise how open minded you are. You’re not the type to lord superior knowledge over others. Instead, you find ways for everyone to showcase their talents. No wonder everyone wants you to play on their team!

Capricorn

Trust your heart over your head. You’ve got great instincts about an education or cultural project. Although you’ll have to work behind the scenes with this assignment, you’ll gain more than you give. Let an authority figure take the credit for your hard work. You’ll gain valuable experience and some fantastic samples for your portfolio. There’s even a chance you’ll be sent on a lavish overseas trip. After you’ve dispatched your duties, you’ll have hours to enjoy the glamorous surroundings.

Aquarius

Friends trust you to make an impartial decision. You’re able to see all sides of the issue and render a choice that is fair to the greatest amount of people. Naturally, some will be disappointed, but nobody will feel betrayed. You might even be asked to take charge of the project. Although you don’t fancy the idea of all the responsibility involved, you do want to create something of lasting value. This is your chance to serve a neglected part of the population.

Pisces

Your speaking and writing abilities will land you an impressive job. Although you can be very shy, you become bold when talking about a cause that is dear to your heart. Animal rights, art restoration, and spiritual fulfilment are all things you are happy to discuss in public. Writing a blog or launching an advertisement campaign will be hugely successful. Use this victory to get a salaried position or rise. You will be the star in the crown of a charitable organisation.

Daily Horoscopes: 06/12/2011

Aries

Your best friend is rather heavy handed, trying to reel you in every time you have a victory. It’s not that they are jealous of your progress. Their caution comes from concern. Still, you’d rather not have rain for your parade. You have every right to celebrate. Go ahead and buy yourself something special to commemorate this fabulous day. Celebrating the good times gives you energy to climb the next mountain. This is just the first in a series of advancements.

Taurus

No wonder you feel run down; you’re totally overworked. It’s time to share some of these burdens with your colleagues. Normally, you do what you are told, no questions asked. Lately the powers that be have automatically given you all the toughest assignments, knowing you will perform them without a hitch. That’s simply not fair. You should either get a raise or a reprieve. It looks like a reprieve is more likely. Lobby for some of the cushier assignments, citing your loyalty and dedication.

Gemini

It feels as if you’ll never have time for fun. There are simply too many people tugging at your sleeves, demanding attention, help, and advice. Take this opportunity to head for some quiet retreat where you can recharge your batteries. Don’t tell anyone about your plans, or the peace will be shattered within minutes. It’s been too long since you were able to enjoy your favourite activities. Reading, writing, watching movies, and dancing are all ways you can reconnect with your spirit.

Cancer

Family responsibilities are weighing you down. It seems like it’s been ages since you were able to go out and have fun. Take this opportunity to hire a cleaning service or babysitter. Don’t let guilt prompt you to turn down an invitation to a birthday party or farewell celebration. Life is too short to devote completely to duty. Even a conscientious, hard working person like you deserves a little revelry. Money from a refund or inheritance allows you to buy some leisure time.

Leo

Harsh criticisms make you question your contributions. Before you believe claims you have no talent, consider the source of these comments. It’s possible a jealous rival is trying to undermine your confidence. You’ve got incredible star power, and get favourable publicity for virtually everything you do. Use this natural born talent to draw attention to your latest creative efforts. The response will be overwhelmingly positive. Garnering both critical and commercial success is the best revenge. It will also put an end to all the self doubt that has consumed you.

Virgo

You don’t have a lot of disposable income, so rein in your spending. Economising now will save you lots of stress in the long run. Fortunately, you possess superior knowledge and skills. These abilities will help you land an impressive job. The interviewing process will be arduous, but if you remain focused, you’ll land the position just in time to pay your bills. Keep your eyes on the prize. Opportunities related to art, housing, and luxury goods are especially favoured.

Libra

A gloomy outlook is driving opportunity from your door. Stop assuming the worst. Granted, you’ve had a series of disappointments. It’s hard to believe things will get better. Still, an attentive lover is eager to smooth your furrowed brow. Abandon yourself to their care. Spending the entire day in bed together will lift your spirits. Beneath that decorous image beats a passionate heart. Role playing can be especially liberating, your partner will soon fall into the spirit of things.

Scorpio

Deep seated fears are holding you back from finding the sort of work that will make you happy. Stop telling yourself you aren’t good enough to get a certain kind of job. You’re far more resourceful and intelligent than the vast majority of candidates. The key is learning how to promote your abilities. Check out some library books on honing your interviewing skills. Knowing how to communicate your abilities to your dream employer will do the trick.

Sagittarius

Working with a group is stifling your creativity. The team just can’t appreciate your whimsical point of view. Resist the urge to quit. You must establish a reputation as a steady, reliable worker. Channel your frustrations into an exercise regime. Burning off energy on the treadmill will give you a sleek physique that turns heads. That way, when you’re finally done with this silly assignment, you’ll be able to party until dawn in form fitting clothes that showcase your assets.

Capricorn

As far as an authority figure is concerned, you just can’t do anything right. You’re sick and tired of bending over backwards for this ingrate. Things look much better on the romantic front. An attentive lover is intent on wining and dining you. Let yourself be pampered for a change. Too often, you assume responsibility for your nearest and dearest. It’s about time you enjoyed a little tender loving care. If you’re single, you’ll make a love connection with someone who has a throaty laugh.

Aquarius

You’re tired of being held prisoner by a lot of stuffy conventions. Unfortunately, you don’t have any choice in the matter. You need the support of a religious, educational, or cultural institution, so you’ll have to play by its rules. Fortunately, your family is aware of the stress you’re experiencing. Lean on them for support when you are bombarded with yet another set of stupid rules. They’ll help you laugh at the situation and keep it in its proper perspective.

Pisces

Money that was promised to you has been delayed. There’s no point in dwelling on your anger. You’ve got to find another source of income. Once the cash starts flowing again, you’ll be able to demand restitution from a more comfortable position. A friend who enjoys a good reputation in the legal profession will be instrumental in claiming this debt. Put yourself in their capable hands. Pay careful attention to a dream; it is nudging you in a positive new direction.

Daily Horoscopes: 05/12/2011

Aries

Taking orders from someone who has less experience is galling, but there is no other choice. You’ll have to exercise terrific restraint. Find an outlet for your frustrations. A book club, foreign language class, or political campaign will give your brain the workout it needs. The picture isn’t totally grim. You’ll get an award or cash prize for maintaining grace under pressure. It’s nice to know the powers that be appreciate how diplomatic you’ve been.

Taurus

Romance surrounds you at every turn. Admirers can’t resist your earthy sense of humour and languorous sexuality. If you’re already in a relationship, schedule a luxury holiday with your amour. The two of you will have a great time in the mountains, viewing the world from a lofty vista. Single? You could meet someone special at a pottery class, public garden, or gourmet restaurant. The chemistry between you will be irresistible.

Gemini

It will be impossible to reason with a pushy relative. Put some distance between you, or you’ll say something you will regret. Fortunately, your best friend or romantic partner is giving you lots of support. Lean on them when your patience grows thin. Money from an inheritance or refund allows you to make some beautiful improvements to your home. Go ahead and buy some expensive furniture, artwork, or kitchen appliances.

Cancer

Disappointing news about your health or a job forces you to alter your plans. It looks like you’re going to have to change your habits in order to protect your interests. Avoiding certain foods, adjusting your sleeping patterns, or taking a class will be difficult, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices to move forward. A loving friend or partner will help you make this transition. Ask them to help you stay focused or you’ll slide back into the old ways.

Leo

Buying someone’s loyalty isn’t very satisfying. You have been blessed with warmth, humour, and creativity. If these traits aren’t enough to win someone over, that’s too bad. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Devote your time and attention to people who appreciate who you are, instead of what you provide. A good job that pays well will fall into your lap. Take this opportunity to update your wardrobe with beautiful, stylish outfits and accessories.

Virgo

Resist the urge to push someone into a decision they aren’t ready to make. Your heart and head are in perfect alignment, but that’s not the case for your friend. The best way to promote their welfare is to provide plenty of space. Ultimately, their choice could disappoint you, but try not to dwell on what might have been. A lovely opportunity to showcase your creative work is coming. Focus your energies on putting forth the best show possible.

Libra

A romantic interlude restores your spirits. You’re tired of friends interfering with your private life. By keeping the two worlds separate, you’ll feel much calmer. Resist the urge to reveal a secret to someone you’ve just met. Although you’re bursting to share this privileged information, it will only get you in trouble. Keep this knowledge to yourself, so you can use it to get an edge on a rival. It may be the only way to get a job or plum assignment.

Scorpio

Resist the urge to spend lots of money on a group outing. You’re better off putting your hard earned cash into an interest bearing savings account. If you keep adding to this fund on a regular basis, you’ll be able to afford a long distance trip. Good news from a friend is cause for celebration. It looks like you’ll be celebrating a wedding, a new arrival or other family get together very soon. Your relationship with a neighbour or relative will improve, too. Take this opportunity to start a new chapter together.

Sagittarius

This is a great time to promote new ideas, but don’t expect the powers that be to jump on board. They don’t want to make changes to an existing structure. The only way they’ll pay attention to your proposal is when it goes viral. Publish an article on a popular website, or make a video and put it on YouTube. These days, it’s easy to do your own advertising. Use the Internet to showcase your talent. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to make a handsome profit from this brainstorm.

Capricorn

Your wit, charm, and sophistication gives you access to an impressive institution. People love being seen in your company. You’re sure to get several invitations to glamorous parties. Take this opportunity to buy some special outfits for these occasions; you should look your best. A jealous teacher will try to feed your insecurities. Your former guru can’t stand the fact you have surpassed their abilities. Take their comments with a pinch of salt. It might even be best to break off your relationship altogether.

Aquarius

Money from a government agency, university, or commercial institution allows you to finance a dream. This is a great time to apply for grants and scholarships. Resist the urge to ask a friend for a loan, or your relationship will take a terrible hit. Aligning yourself with a foreign based company or organisation is strongly advised. This institution will showcase your talent in a way that brings you additional clients. Depend on them to handle the publicity while you focus on the work that makes you happy.

Pisces

You’re a superstar on the work front. Don’t be surprised when your boss singles you out for a promotion, raise, or award. If you’ve been looking for work, you could land a great position with a legal firm, publishing house, or university. Providing the public with valuable information gives your ego a boost. Unfortunately, someone who is close to you won’t be very supportive of your new position. You’ll have to reassure your best friend or lover of your loyalty.

Daily Horoscopes: 04/12/2011

Aries

This is a great time to apply for admission to a university, club, or professional organisation. People will come out of the woodwork to write you referrals. By pushing yourself to try something new, you’ll gain many valuable skills. You’ll also be able to study with a prominent teacher who makes you view the world in a whole new way. Don’t be surprised when you’re overwhelmed by the desire to write a book or take an overseas trip. You’re ready for a new adventure!

Taurus

Take this opportunity to make arrangements for your long term financial future. Set up a retirement, college, or savings account. If you’re out of your depth, scout around for a money manager. With their help, you’ll be able to make the right choices for you. You fare best with an enthusiastic, open minded professional who asks you lots of questions about your priorities. Remember, this is about what you want. A flirtatious conversation gives you a sexy glow.

Gemini

Teamwork is the name of the game. Working with a partner will help you overcome obstacles that would ordinarily block your path. In the past, you were prone to throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble. That’s all about to change. This is also a good time to sign a contract, form a business alliance, or get engaged. All of a sudden, you’re not afraid of making a commitment. The lure of greener pastures has lost its hold on your heart.

Cancer

A trip to the Doc will prove enlightening. It’s such a relief to get a clear diagnosis. Although you’ll have to make some significant changes to your daily routine, that won’t seem terribly important once you improve. Renewed vitality allows you to do twice as much work as you did before. If you’re looking for work, apply for jobs involving the law, travel, or publishing. Animal care is also a good avenue for you to explore. You need an outlet for all your nurturing instincts.

Leo

Don’t let a fabulous idea for a creative project wither on the vine. The sooner you put this idea into motion, the better. When it comes to inspiration, you have to strike while the iron is hot. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at a little creative writing now is the time to begin. Are you self conscious about putting your thoughts on paper? Try writing yourself an email. It’s always easier to express yourself when you don’t second guess yourself.

Virgo

A short trip with family could be in the cards. Normally, such journeys drive you crazy, but this break will prove the exception to the rule. You’re able to laugh at your relatives’ quirks and idiosyncrasies. Best of all, you’re able to handle it when they poke fun at you. Now you have a few accomplishments under your belt, you feel less defensive with your nearest and dearest. You’re also able to treat your loved ones with more compassion.

Libra

This is a great time to take a class in a subject that’s always interested you. There’s a good chance you’ll be the star pupil. Learning a foreign language, taking up a musical instrument, and mastering a handicraft are among the possibilities. Your teacher will be a humorous, open minded person who brings out the best in you. As a child, you hated instructors who treated their subject like it was sacred. Now that you’re older, you can choose the teaching method that works best for you.

Scorpio

Getting specialised training will improve your earning potential. You’re tired of being passed over for promotions because you lack technical knowledge. Don’t be discouraged if you’re older than a lot of people in your class. Anybody can master these lessons, provided they focus. Once you get the hang of working with gadgetry, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to venture into this area. You’re a lot more capable than you realise. Give yourself a chance to flourish in a new area.

Sagittarius

People will be clamouring for your attention, which is gratifying. It’s nice to know you’re so popular. Part of the reason everyone loves your company is because you are so optimistic. Even when the news is filled with reports of gloom and doom, you’re able to see the positive side of humanity. A relative or neighbour who is struggling will ask for your advice. Urge them to take a risk. With your encouragement, they’ll fulfil a cherished dream.

Capricorn

Setting aside regular time for a little peace and quiet will be very good for you. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in mundane issues that you forget about the spiritual side of life. Your imagination needs to be fed. Take a quiet walk through a colourful garden, vegetable market, fabric store, or craft shop. The gorgeous array of hues will inspire you to launch a creative project. You don’t have to show your work to anyone; just do it for your own pleasure.

Aquarius

You’ll be the centre of attention at a party or professional gathering. People are eager to hear your ideas about life, learning, and love. That’s because you don’t have knee jerk reactions to issues. You think deeply about subjects, and don’t just stick to the status quo. Your original ideas inspire others to lead authentic lives. These days, it seems like so many people are on autopilot. Meeting somebody who is not is truly refreshing. No wonder you’re so popular!

Pisces

The phone won’t stop ringing; everybody needs to confer with you before making plans. Do your best to return phone calls, emails, and voicemails as quickly as possible. You don’t want to cause anyone any inconvenience. While it’s a pain to be in charge of such a large event, your responsibilities will have rewards, too. It gives you a great deal of pleasure to bring people together in a spirit of harmony. This could be your life’s calling!

Daily Horoscopes: 03/12/2011

Aries

Champion a cause that’s dear to your heart. You’re tired of devoting your entire life to work and pleasure. Giving time, money, and resources to a charitable institution will make you feel connected to the outside world. It will also give you newfound appreciation for what you have. You’ll also appreciate working for a place that is grateful for your help. Too often, we are taken for granted in our jobs. That rarely happens when you’re working for a philanthropic organisation.

Taurus

You’re set in your ways, which makes it difficult to work with a group. Instead of insisting on using a certain methodology, be flexible. You’ll learn at least one valuable skill. If it becomes evident that the current arrangement isn’t working, you can swoop in and save the day. Don’t be surprised when you’re put in charge of the team’s resources. You have a knack for finding bargains and getting tremendous returns on your investments.

Gemini

You make a great impression on everyone you meet. Be careful about stealing the spotlight from your best friend or lover. It’s hard to compete with someone as magnetic as you. By drawing attention to your partner’s accomplishments, you’ll win their everlasting devotion. Are you thinking of making a career move? You’ll have to persuade a loved one this is the best path for you. Your desire for variety is in direct opposition to their yearning for security.

Cancer

Do something entirely out of character, if only to cause a commotion. Following the rules without question isn’t healthy. Find an outlet for your rebellious side. If that means taking up an unusual hobby or sport, so be it. Have you been lonely? This is a good time to adopt a pet. A nurturing person like you can only benefit from caring for an animal. Visit your local shelter so you can rescue a creature that really needs a good home.

Leo

Passion characterises everything you do. If you’ve developed a crush on someone, it may be impossible to hide your feelings any longer. Confess your desires, either to the object of your affection or to your diary. If you’re already in a committed relationship, focus your energy on your partner. Revert to the courtship phase of your union. Candlelit dinners, tender gestures, and sentimental gifts will cultivate the excitement that first drew you together.

Virgo

You want help, but it’s hard to ask for it. Don’t let your pride get in the way of being vulnerable to a relative, colleague, or romantic partner. Even a capable person like you gets overwhelmed. This would be a good time to hire someone to clean your house. It may seem like a wild extravagance, but you’ll be so glad of the free time such an arrangement affords. Besides, you’ll be giving someone a job, and that’s always good in this economy.

Libra

Avoid a tendency to overanalyse things. Ultimately, you can’t know what the future will bring, so why obsess over it? Keep an open mind, especially where intellectual pursuits are concerned. Someone will recommend a book or movie that proves uplifting. This material might even inspire you to return to a creative pursuit you loved as a child. A smart person like you can’t be happy doing the same thing day after day. You’ve got to have an outlet for your imagination.

Scorpio

Selling your creative work fills you with pride. It feels great to know people are willing to pay good money for your handiwork. You might want to sell your crafts on a website, so you can attract a huge customer base. There’s no reason your work should be relegated to some obscure corner of a shop when it can be enjoyed by the world. If you need more money, find a way to make money doing something you love.

Sagittarius

You have to put on a show of bravery, even if you’re het up and nervy. When you exude confidence, people will follow your lead. You may not realise it, but your words carry a great deal of weight, especially with your family. A relative who is worried about the future is depending on you for strength. If you have to go out and get work, take some time to rearrange your household. Delegate chores to others, even children. Work builds character.

Capricorn

It’s difficult to make a decision with so many options available. You’re tempted to follow the path yielding the greatest pay. Ultimately you should choose the path that offers the most intellectual stimulation. Too much predictability is a waste of your talent. Taking a class, writing a story, or studying a subject will fuel your enthusiasm and give you a sexy glow. A love affair could take flower; keep it secret in the early stages, so it has time to grow.

Aquarius

You’re extremely popular, because you make everybody feel valued and special. This isn’t an act. You have the rare ability to find worth in everyone you meet, no matter how talented or dull. By championing each person’s strengths, you build confidence and cultivate excellence. Don’t be surprised when you’re asked to take the helm of a large organisation. Only accept this position if you get a handsome salary. You deserve to be paid well for such a high profile position.

Pisces

A drive to succeed prompts you to go above and beyond the call of duty. The powers that be are glad you’re at the helm of their organisation, because they know you’ll never neglect your duties. If you’re called in to handle an emergency, do it with energy and enthusiasm. Then, when word spreads of your efficiency, you can demand a promotion. It will be impossible to argue with your logic; the most valued member of the team should hold an important title.

Daily Horoscopes: 02/12/2011

Aries

Health problems will occur if you keep driving yourself so hard. Take this opportunity to rest and relax. You can do any Christmas shopping online. Do your best to resist the hysteria surrounding this time of year. The important thing is spending time with friends and family. You don’t have to put forth a perfect performance. If staying in town is too stressful to bear, you may want to take a holiday instead. There’s no point in subjecting yourself to stress.

Taurus

Beware of playing extreme sports, or you could break a bone or pull a muscle. If you’re in a sexual relationship, be safe. Your health is delicate, and you should take every precaution to protect it. Bills are piling up, causing you great anxiety. You’re the type who needs to be on stable financial ground to be happy. Think about returning expensive purchases and making homemade gifts instead. Anybody can go shopping; it takes care and effort to make something with your own hands.

Gemini

Take extra pains to keep poisonous materials, flammable substances, and sharp tools locked away. Accidents can happen on a volatile day like this. Tempers are running high in an intimate relationship. You’re tired of your best friend or romantic partner’s egotism. You must be more assertive if your needs are going to be met. Remember, your loved one can’t read your mind. Don’t be so quick to agree to unappealing plans, just for the sake of preserving harmony.

Cancer

Technology has a way of breaking down. If your computer, phone, or car starts malfunctioning, send it in for repairs. Meanwhile, you might want to consider living without such conveniences for a while. These days, simple pleasures like taking a nature walk, reading a good book, or enjoying a tasty treat may seem silly. Nothing could be further from the truth. It takes time to train yourself to slow down and smell the flowers, but the resulting peace will be worth the temporary discomfort.

Leo

Keep your valuables under lock and key, as there is a danger of theft. You wouldn’t want to lose something precious because you didn’t take a few extra seconds to secure your possessions. You may feel pressured to buy a loved one an expensive gift. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to buy their affection. The best way to make inroads to your relationship is spending more quality time together. Find an activity you’ll both enjoy.

Virgo

Just because you’re the most efficient, intelligent member of your family doesn’t mean you should always get your way. Refrain from criticising a relative’s plans, even if they seem juvenile. Some of your favourite activities seem dull to your nearest and dearest, but they wouldn’t dream of spoiling your fun. Try extending them the same courtesy. You don’t mean to be difficult; you just want to make the best use of your time and abilities.

Libra

Don’t get involved with secret intrigues. Engaging in gossip will only hurt your reputation. You’re too kind and considerate to do make fun of somebody who can’t defend themselves. Still, the lure of fitting in can tempt you into making some indiscreet comments. It may be a good idea to change your password to a more secure code. You wouldn’t want an unscrupulous person to read confidential messages. The stars are prompting people to poke their noses where they don’t belong.

Scorpio

Remember the power you have to form people’s opinion. Stirring up trouble could derail a tense situation. Instead of making provocative statements designed to undermine someone’s authority, maintain a tactful silence. It’s hard to sit by and watch someone who is less talented than you take the helm of an important situation. If you’re patient you’ll be given the reins. In the meantime, take note of the mistakes your boss has made, and devise ways to avoid them when your turn comes.

Sagittarius

No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to force people to do your bidding. If you sense some resistance from the team, make a strategic retreat. State your reasons for following a certain plan. The more logical and persuasive you are, the quicker everyone will fall in line. Even if nobody cooperates, you can still move forward and take care of your portion of the project. As soon as everyone sees how much progress you’re making, they’ll follow suit.

Capricorn

This isn’t a good time to take an overseas trip. If you’re already far from home, it might be difficult to get back. Mechanical breakdowns and flight delays will slow your progress. You’re better off staying put and waiting until all the confusion clears. Now is not the time to get embroiled in a legal battle. You’re better off settling out of court or dropping your case altogether. Sometimes it’s better to save yourself the aggravation than trying to prove a point.

Aquarius

If you owe somebody money, take pains to pay it back as quickly as possible. It’s more important to reimburse people than credit agencies. Consider how much your creditor is struggling to make up the difference. The sooner you fulfil your obligation, the better your relationship will be. Resist the urge to confess a crush. The object of your affection doesn’t return your feelings. It may not always be this way, but for now, you should focus your energy in a different direction.

Pisces

Conflicts with a business or romantic partner are causing a great deal of stress. You’re tired of being the victim of their bullying. You’ll have to train yourself to fight back. That can be really difficult for someone like you, who hates confrontation. Still, until you learn how to assert yourself, you’ll continue to experience difficulties in all of your relationships. Remember you have a right to your opinions. Stop apologising for feeling so deeply about things.
