DAILY HOROSCOPE

Today's Horoscope for Capricorn

Tie up as many financial loose ends as possible. Make sure you're not spending frivolously. It would be wise to take a long, hard look at your finances for the next few months. Start this year off right with practicality rather than idealism. If you're having a hard time making ends meet, address... want more?

For as fast as you were moving yesterday, today you're moving at a snail's space. Don't get discouraged if plans aren't playing out as you wished. Resist feeling useless and idle. There's no need to beat yourself up just because something didn't turn out as you hoped.

Meet up with friends today and do some shopping. If you've been neglecting your physical appearance, make an appointment for the salon or spa. Perhaps you should change your hair color or try out a new style. You'll have a lot of fun changing up your appearance today, so get in a good laugh with... want more?

Sow the seeds for change. Today is excellent for planning out a new course of action for your life. Ask yourself whether you're happy with you current job, house or even your romantic relationship. Be as honest with yourself as possible, as you'll likely see things with a clarity that others would... want more?

Don't be tempted by people who might not have your best interest at heart. You could be attracted to those who are more devious or deceptive today. It's just that your curiosity is peaked by the unfamiliar. Keep your distance and don't let these people too close to your gentle spirit.

You could be experiencing some difficulties in your love life today. Don't let petty arguments come between you and your partner. Maybe tonight is a good time to plan a romantic dinner or a night out on the town. Remember that a little effort goes along way.

Today is an excellent day for some healthy competition. Whether you play a sport, or just itching for some physical release, expend some of your energy by engaging in outside activities. Organize a friendly game of football or soccer. Even going for a run with a friend could bring the release you... want more?

The buzz surrounding today might cause you to feel ill. Your mind is likely to be cloudy and out of focus. Try to keep this frantic energy from giving you anxiety or depression. Find a quiet activity you can do and rest tonight. There's not much you can do now except try to avoid unnecessary... want more?

You could wind up cooking dinner, washing the dishes, folding the laundry and vacuuming the house and it won't bother you today. You'll feel generous and kindhearted toward your family, and you'll get satisfaction in doing things for them. Hopefully they won't take you for granted!

Manage your obligations and take responsibility for prior commitments. If you told your spouse you were going to do the laundry and make dinner, then do it. It's likely that the domestic disharmony that will spring from you faulting on your word is much greater than the effort it would take to... want more?

People could be rubbing you the wrong way now. Avoid confrontations at all costs. You'll likely get worked up over petty issues today. Think before you speak in order to steer clear of unnecessary arguments. Try to fix your irritable mood internally, rather than spreading your wrath on unsuspecting... want more?

Make constructive use of your time under this influence. If you've been ignoring a leaky roof or facet, fix it today. Any problems you've been avoiding around the house will only grow worse with time. Take action and solve these minor annoyances before they become major hassles.

For better or worse, your love life isn't a cheesy sitcom: There's no soundtrack and no pat, formulaic ending. Instead, the situation is much more real, touching and, yes, complicated than that.

An old love connection resurfaces when you least expect it. Your want to respond impulsively and reactively. Don't. Instead, move slowly and compassionately. You don't want to make the same mistakes twice.

Learn to discern between a romantic interest with true potential and someone who just wants something from you. You have a right to protect yourself, especially if your radar is pinging about a certain someone.

Common courtesy is often neglected these days. Thank the people who make your life easier in all ways, from your bank loan officer to the person who holds the elevator for you at work. Romance sparks due to your politeness.

So some of the gestures are ambiguous and the affection doesn't seem heartfelt, but hang in there. Sometimes desire needs to grow in order to really go the distance. Keep the long view in sight.

It's time to turn over a new leaf when it comes to how you operate in the realm of love. Heck, why not uproot the whole tree? The universe favors bold initiatives and attempts to start fresh. Go for it!

Are you getting the sense that this person is giving you the runaround? Those instincts of yours are good. Certain types are only in it for the game. If that's not your deal, then it's time to cut them loose.

Sick of your solitary state? That's understandable. Just remember that couples get tired of their attached state too. Go out and do something nice for yourself. Get a massage or go buy yourself a decadent treat.

Your love life perks up. New connections spark fresh romantic opportunities, and this forward motion gathers momentum that can't be halted. All these choices make your romantic future look quite bright!

You have a knack for making interesting and educational choices in romance. It's too soon to label them right or wrong, so stop punishing yourself with the ghosts of Dates Gone Wrong, okay?

You and a pal have a romantic interest in the same person. You can avoid any soap-opera-type drama very easily if you talk to your friend about this openly. It may not be easy at first, but it will get much easier.

It's dangerous to assume that your latest romantic interest will intuitively know what's on your mind and what you need. Be an adult. It's time to assume responsibility for fulfilling your own desires.

You and your family are entering a time of renewal -- which is extremely important, of course, but can also be intensely uncomfortable. Remember that it doesn't last very long and ride it out.

Your mood darkens somewhat today, though that isn't always a bad thing. For now, you've got to let yourself sink a bit so you can come to understand yourself just a little bit better.

New insights flood into your mind today -- but they're not overwhelming. You should figure out that new person at work or learn more about your mate. One way or another, you end up better equipped.

It's a good time to wait and see what happens -- or even to actively collect more information. You aren't quite ready to make decisions yet, and that could mean that you're waiting for a sign.

It's time to nurture one (or more) of your obsessions -- even if you get a few odd looks! Your energy is just better spent on stuff that appeals to your inner child than on anything of grown-up importance

Someone misstates the facts early in the day, and that sends you off on a research trip to the library or the Internet. It's more about your curiosity than it is about setting anyone straight, though.

Let yourself focus on your own needs today -- you've got to do it now and then, right? It may feel difficult to leave a friend hanging, but it's better for both of you in the long run.

Tap into that good energy to make the most of your situation. You undoubtedly have a vision of the future that feels right to you, and now is the time to work toward bringing it to life.

You're feeling a little shy right now, which is rather unusual, but worth paying attention to. Take the time to chill out and let your social batteries recharge themselves, so you can get on with life.

Take a fresh look at your latest problem -- you should have a much easier time feeling objective about it. That doesn't mean you're going to like the solution, but an answer should be forthcoming.

Your audience awaits! Whether you're going for a job interview or asking out someone new, you feel as if you're on stage. Work it, and you can get past that fear to put on quite a show!

You need to be a little extra careful today -- though you feel powerful, you are mixing it up with some real players who might not think twice about eating your lunch. Take risks another day.

It has taken years, or even decades, to admit it to yourself, but you're just about ready to accept that the old couch in the den is both ugly and uncomfortable. Have a ceremony if you need to, but it is way past time for that thing to go.

You may come to realize that you have a tendency to do some things that you normally deplore in others. It may be something small, like your inability to give up control of the TV remote. Think about how it makes you feel on the other side of the couch and adjust your behavior.

An attempt to do something nice for your housemate may turn into an adventure into unknowable -- and sometimes terrifying -- fields. Though cleaning your housemate's bedroom may seem like a nice thing to do, some tasks may best be left to the inhabitant.

Before you start prying open the door to the DVD player with a butter knife, stop and contemplate whether or not you know what you're doing. Your attempt at a quick fix could very quickly turn into a permanent problem.

You may not realize it, but you are on your way to creating a very cool vintage collection. Your love of cookware from the 60s has prompted you to buy individual pieces over the years, but sitting together on a display rack, they make an impressive collection.

With the upcoming end of the year, it may be time to give up some of your unrealistic goals. Don't hold hope that the bathroom renovation will be done by New Year's. You'll be much happier if you simply accept imperfection and enjoy the festivities.

Against your better judgment, you may feel compelled to keep things for yourself today. As you sit side-by-side with a housemate on the couch, try to fight the urge to keep the blanket on only your lap or devour the popcorn by yourself.

A do it yourself website will open your eyes to options you never dreamed of. Why not paint a whole wall of your home office with magnetic paint? That way you'll never need a bulletin board again! Get both creative and functional.

A degree of shyness may come over you this evening as you're seated amongst strangers at a dinner table. Don't worry too much about not contributing to the conversation -- instead, enjoy the soft candlelight and the delicious food.

As you attempt to clean out your dresser today, invite a friend over to sit at the foot of your bed. You may have trouble being honest with yourself about what clothes are good or bad, but your friend won't have any trouble telling it like it is.

Maybe you're caught up in the spirit of the season, but something in you wants to be not only generous, but also useful to society. Perhaps the local youth group's silent auction will be receiving a large donation from you this year?

Though it seems a bit silly, a doormat is the first thing that your guests will see when they come to your house. Get rid of that ratty old mat that you've had for years and invest in something unique, beautiful, and, well ... welcoming.

A lot of last year's difficulties, if you think about it, boiled down to a lot of fiddly little details getting in the way of you realizing your dreams. Let's be honest about it, Aries: struggling with the small stuff just isn't your style. In the next year, you'll find that a lot of these pressures... want more?

Taurus always gets tagged with things like 'pleasure-seeking' and 'materialistic.' That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life... want more?

Isn't it great being a Gemini? All that charm, that mental flexibility, that ability to see both sides of the issue ... you're the wonder of the zodiac. Take a bow. The problem with that is that both sides of the issue have been kind of a drag. Good news: that's all going to change in the next... want more?

One thing that all Crabs (astrological Cancers or the seafood type of crab) know deep in their hearts is that someone, somewhere out there knows how great it would be to bust them wide open and eat them with melted butter. The big news for you this year, Cancer, is that Pluto has moved into your... want more?

Oh, big playful Leo -- how the last couple of years have been dramatic (and often less than kind) for you! There's little doubt that whatever you've gone through in the last year, the uppers have fueled your inherent charm and lovability, and the downers have gotten a little ignored. That's one of... want more?

The symbol for Libra is Balance. In the next year, you'll find yourself doing even more balancing than usual; you're going to be pressed to decide if your internal sense of happiness should be the focus of life more than the outward signs of success. This may have been weighing heavily on your mind... want more?

Scorpios have a certain reputation for taking things a little too seriously, and to some extent you've earned that. The next year is going to give you new opportunities to really express yourself in new ways, and to get results from all that Scorpionic intensity you've been carrying around all your... want more?

Did you just hear that gigantic cry of 'hooray'? That was the sound of millions of Sagittarian lives getting better in 2010. Pluto has moved out of your sign, and Saturn has left Virgo (which wasn't doing you any favors either, as you may have noticed from the unusual pressures in your home life,... want more?

One of the things that never seems to come across in those generic descriptions of Capricorns is their inherent sweetness. You're every bit as kind and caring as anyone else (if not more so), but have a tendency to hide it behind a mask that downplays your vulnerability. Now that Pluto (the planet... want more?

Aquarius often gets pegged as being a little too cerebral for its own good. But the truth is, that's where you do your best work. The next year is going to give you the opportunity to use those sharp mental powers to focus on what it is you really want out of life. Two eclipses fall in your Twelfth... want more?

Okay, pause for a moment and check your pulse. Still there? Good. That means you survived the last couple of years with both Saturn and Pluto in less-than-perfect places for you. And by 'less than perfect,' I mean 'lousy.' Good news! Both of astrology's heavyweights have moved on to more... want more?

Whew! Feel that enormous burden sliding off of your shoulders, like you've been carrying around an overstuffed backpack for the last couple of years? That would be Saturn, planet of structures and limitation, moving out of your sign. Congratulations, first of all, on having simply made it through... want more?

Happy 2010, everyone! Regardless of what Sun sign you are, the one thing you can always count on is change ... the planets are always moving. New action and new players will be entering your life throughout the year. Like a weather forecast, your Yearly Horoscope can help you plan ahead, from... want more?

The year is getting off to a slow start, if you can even sum anything up by now. Give both the year and yourself a break, though. There's no point in getting upset this early in the game. Your time to sing is further down the line, if you don't let your emotions get you too far off track.

You feel passionate about just about everything to do with money, but particularly making or losing it. Heck, even financial equilibrium gets you out of your chair. If you can figure out how to transfer these kinds of deep feelings to your personal relationships, it would be a marriage made in... want more?

If your savings grew any slower, it would be going backwards. You already know what a lame joke that is. The less time you spend probing those particular fears, the better able you'll be to bolster your confidence in the future. Don't indulge those particular feelings -- for your financial and... want more?

You've been through so much financial upheaval that you feel a bit shell shocked. Every move required of you has you feeling indecisive. Not getting involved is a legitimate choice to make, all things considered. Don't feel bad about waiting this one out.

You'd rather be collecting antiques, but as it is, you're simply buying second hand. It's all the rage, though, so don't feel too badly about it. All the real treasure is beneath the surface anyway.

The goals of one or two years ago are now unrealistic, but that doesn't mean you should chuck them out and start from scratch. If you delve into them a bit, you'll find out what's worth keeping and what is suddenly laughable. Listen to others for valuable insight into which is which.

When it comes to money, you know not to ask. The same goes for any material possessions which may be changing hands. Anything unsaid is ipso facto none of your business. Look within for reserves of strength if it comes to biting your tongue. For some situations, you may have to go pretty deep.

Money or no money, other people just can't resist you. You'll have to beat them away with a stick if you want some time to yourself. But why waste this period of intense magnetism by being alone? That's like money down the drain. Get out there and mingle with your adoring fans.

When you're feeling moody and your motivation is slow to catch up with your obligations, it's time to generate your own enthusiasm. Use your imagination to paint an internal picture of success. If you need imagery, draw from your dreams.

Being objective is necessary, but you're taking it a bit too far. When you start to notice yourself feeling detached from even your own friends, it's time to remind yourself of what really matters. Getting a grip on it isn't as easy as it sounds. Ironically enough, it's those very friends who can... want more?

You loved keeping pace with the economy when it was racing, but now that things have slowed down, you're feeling practically lost. While you don't seem to be advancing very far or very fast, you are in fact moving forward. It's the slow, steady pace you've heard so much about.

You're tired of feeling like the world's doormat. You put your heart and soul into certain things, only to see them slip away. Don't let yourself indulge in too much of that kind of self-pity. The emotional turmoil of your own ruminations cold be worse than the events themselves.
