OT: Friday's horoscope

09/02/2005
Friday

Aries

Take some alone time to plot the course of your next few moves. While you're
not used to taking things at such a deliberate pace, the stars recommend
doing some very detailed and strategic planning to ensure that your plans
come off as best they can. Remember to write everything down -- while you
excel at seeing the wider view, the smaller details can sometime escape you,
and you really can't afford that right now.

Taurus
Your ego gets a boost from some confidence-building celestial influences,
and just in the nick of time, too -- you're able to tackle any delays or
complications without getting your feathers ruffled. In fact, as you face
these challenges without even a single hair out of place, some might ask,
'How do you do it?' Let them in on your secret: Deep breathing and the
ability to take the long view are all it takes to address any bump in the
road.

Gemini
Forget about the popular vote and ruling by committee and polls. The thing
truly great leaders know is that sometimes the right decision is the hard
decision -- and that may not initially go down so well with the
constituents. Be courageous and move ahead with what you know is the best
choice in the long run, and you'll walk away with enough support to ensure
that you stay in office for as long as you like.

Cancer
You're in the mood for witty repartee, and fortunately for you, you've
walked straight into a screwball comedy out of the golden age of Hollywood.
You and a favorite companion are all about exchanging the snappy rejoinders
and witty one-liners. Don't be surprised if all this crackling wit takes a
turn toward the serious -- after all, with this kind of chemistry going on,
is it any surprise you'll want to talk about deeper topics?

Leo
When it comes to romance, never say never. While recent developments may
have convinced you that you're better off playing solitaire, a breakthrough
is about to come your way. The impact of this event is not only memorable,
but may shape the next few days with its cavalier and exciting energy. Be
patient and remind yourself that the things worth doing right are worth
waiting for -- especially when it comes to love.

Virgo
Thanks to the cool, calm and collected influences working in your
astrological zone, you're one of the few people thinking clearly right now.
Use those smarts to keep yourself away from shady types and their even
shadier dealings, no matter how enticing they may seem on the surface.
Danger might seem fun or even romantic in books and movies, but in real life
it usually ends up being messy and far more trouble than it's worth.

Libra
You may need to change your phone number and email to get some privacy in
order to relax. The word is out: No one knows how to throw a party like you
do. At work, the powers that be know full well that when it comes to
organizing and motivating your coworkers, you're definitely the go-to
person. While you absolutely love being in such demand, it's time to say no
to some of these requests, simply for the sake of your own sanity.

Scorpio
Feeling ever so slightly underappreciated lately? That's understandable --
you've been giving your all and never give your friends a chance to
reciprocate. Why not have some confidence in your friends that they'll come
through -- and in yourself that you're worthy of some support? If you learn
to give others the opportunity to be generous, you might just find yourself
showered with all the attention and support you could hope for.

Sagittarius
Has communication reached a stalemate between you and a certain someone?
That's not surprising. Ignoring it won't make it go away, although that
might be your immediate instinct. While on the surface you may have reached
a resolution, a deeper issue is lingering and upsetting you both. Express
yourself, and you'll rediscover a whole new level of honesty and connection
that was previously stifled by all that was unsaid.

Capricorn
Your intellect melds with a megadose of assertive astrological energy as the
stars emphasize work and responsibility. The resulting synergy is awesome to
behold, but the potential for burnout is high. How to avoid it? Stay aware,
first of all, and don't overload on caffeine. Also keep in mind that your
mind and body need breaks, and make sure to schedule them regularly. In this
way, you'll take full advantage of your abilities without burning out.

Aquarius
A financial opportunity and distant locales are linked when it comes to your
future success, so stay alert for any chances to travel, both with your job
or on your own. In light of future opportunities, practice being respectful,
but not knuckling under to different ways of thinking. The fact that you
refuse to fit anyone's mold is the secret of your success. By being true to
yourself, you make the most of chances that others might miss.

Pisces
Try not to be oversensitive to a loved one's criticisms; ignore the words
and look at their actions, which are actually far more encouraging. Look at
the long term and be patient. If you manage to ride out the choppy water,
you're in for a smooth ride all the way to shore. If harsh statements on
their side keep coming your way even after the turbulence is over, it's time
to have a sit-down and tell them how much it bothers you.
