Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Everyone is appreciative of recieving compliments, but if you listen carefully, they could significantly help you meausure just how much progress you've really made. Maybe for you there is no such thing as bad luck- only different kinds of good luck! If only there were someone you could call on to arrange the day's events into a more amusing juxtaposition. But wait, there's an unpredictable Sagittarius or Gemini in your life, isn't there?
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
You'll love what you can do using modern technology and popular science. You can gain the upper hand on your financial picture by being assertive and relying on your own instricts and timing when it really counts. Although you'll take all your involvements seriously, you'll still be quite philosophical about their outcome. This unruffled attitude makes what you have to do much easier.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
If you are on the verge of announcing a new endeavor, this might be the perfect time to get started. Results could exceed your expectations. You'll be in a mood to exert your physical strength and stamina. You want to know what you can do, and have energy to burn. Try not to overreact to what other people tell you. The news they bring may sound negative, but almost certainly its nowhere near as bad as you or they fear, if you plan ahead.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You will affect destiny through your conversational choices. This is no time to stir up controversy or opinion. Pay attention to your image now, so that you can do your work later without worrying how you'll look doing it. It's highly likely that you have the edge over the other guy. However, don't take this for granted and get careless, passing off that edge to someone else in the wings.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
It may seems as though someone you have feelings for no longer cares about you, but that is far from the truth. They have worrying things on their midn, so give them some time and space. You are not always in the mood to communicate, after all. This morning, enjoy the silence, rather than catch up on everyone else's business. Later, a chance comment from an associate might put you on the track of resolving a difficult situation that has been bothering you, which no one has been able to deal with.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
You thing someone needs help, and you offer it before the person has a chance to ask for it. This intuitive graciousness is one of the reasons people identify you as a gem. You listen when a loved one talks. But more than that, you always hear- with your ears as well as your heart- what is being expressed. You may not immediately see the point of what you are asked to do, but do it anyway.If you knuckle down and make it an early start, the task will be finished by lunchtime, and the rest of the day is yours.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
When you don't know what to say to a person, you may reveal too much about topics which are irrelevant to the situation at hand, so don't flounder. If you're thinking of taking on something big, first line up all the help you can muster. You're fortunate right now, but your best results will still come from group efforts. You have faith in others, so you extend the benefit of the doubt wherever possible. The situation will call for you to stand back and watch for awhile- to see how things get handled without you.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
Even if you are the kind of Scorpio who rarely gets upset, you'll have a hard time disguising your feelings. Maybe you should just let it all out. Chances are you'll feel better for it. You may not share a friend's point of view, but you will be enriched and expanded by the relationship, nonetheless. You have higher social interests than merely impressing others with your lifestyle. You really want to connect with others.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Be sure you take a hard look into all your windows of opportunity. You're in a brief cycle where the possibilities for material growth are strong. You will be in the mood to take a risk and feel the exhilarating high that comes from putting yourself on the line. Whether or not you win is irrelevant. The less others know about your comings and goings, the better. It may not be in your nature to be secretive, but there are people out there who will want to upset your plans- but they can only do that if they know what those are.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
This could be the week you've been waiting for. Something you've been worrying about will do an about face and spur necessary changes that will turn out in your favor. There will be moments when silence will communicate far beyond words, and there will also be moments when silence communicates nothing. There will be a choice between now and later. Choose now. As Jane Austin proclaimed, "How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!"
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Don't be surprised if you get worked up about something today. You may be the most easygoing Aquarius in the world, but some issues still have the power to excite you, and one such issue is about to tug at your heartstrings when you least expect it. The effects of your gallantry and kind heartedness will endure. As your sign mate and philanthropist John Ruskin suggested, "It is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born." Know that true riches cannot be bought, even as the kind that can be bought will still have great appeal today.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Avoid anyone with a soured disposition. If you do get accidentally poisoned with pessimism, the antidote to change each negative word is a positive one. The best way to elevate your hope and expectations is to revisit them while thinking and acting like a winner, without getting so easily discouraged over minor mishaps and negative influences. In some regard, you are massively ambitious. This week will rekindle your desires and goals. If you keep your eyes open and keep plowing ahead, and you'll gain ground.
[OOC Note: The horoscopes are considered by most in the City to be very accurate, since a lady with an ability for this sort of thing provides them. Use them as you will - accurate or not.]
