Daily Horoscopes 9/16/11

You are so enthusiastic about all the possibilities today that it's difficult to settle down. You might not notice the tension that's building because a Mars-Neptune alignment is preventing you from seeing how the current circumstances will unfold. Nevertheless, the earthy Taurus Moon helps to filter out some of the unreliable information now, so it's still safe to trust your senses in the immediate moment without trying to figure out what may happen next.

The Moon's visit to your bucolic sign normally helps you find the solace you seek. However, you may grow bored today and start thinking about different ways to add excitement into your life. But be careful, for once you open the floodgates, you might wish for the calmer times you left behind. Instead of destabilizing your life, just change your attitude. You don't have to turn everything upside down to make your day a success.

You may be craving a little action and are eager to party even before you complete your work. However, you cannot just go off and play. If you're frustrated, your annoyance might grow into resentment and stand in the way of your fun later on. Stop wasting your time; meet your obligations expediently, so you can have yourself a great time once everything's done.

You probably realize how amazing your friends are now, especially those who stand up to defend you or rush to your side when you need their help. Ironically, they may not think that their behavior is out of the ordinary -- and that's what makes it so special. There's no reason to turn your appreciation into too big of a deal today as long as you make certain that those you cherish know how much you appreciate them.

You know exactly what you should be doing today, but your heart isn't into it. You are bored with someone else's agenda and don't want to chase a pot of gold that isn't at the end of your own rainbow. It's healthy to focus on your personal goals now rather than anyone else's. Just be sure that your heightened practicality doesn't stand between you and an otherwise delightful time.

You might have an exciting vision about your future today without necessarily being too impractical about it. Although you can imagine an extraordinary outcome to your current situation, it's not beyond your reach. Just be careful about stepping over the fine line between possibilities and fantasies. Believing in the impossible will help you stretch beyond your normal limits, but reaching your destination will still take advanced planning and hard work.

You're tired of being patient because you know exactly what you want and see no logical reason to wait any longer before initiating action. Your sense of urgency may be fueled by someone who seems to be even more impulsive than you are today. Still, there's something that's holding you back. Don't overanalyze your feelings. Just listen to your intuition; if you think that postponing your move makes sense, then that is exactly what you should do.

Someone may be enticing you to take a risk, but you're not quite ready to jump. Still, the support you receive feels good and it does make you consider reaching for the stars. You are tempted to reveal your current negativity, yet doing so could jeopardize what you have already created. Of course you are free to respond however you see fit, but minimizing your concerns could ameliorate the tension, at least for now.

It's tempting to lower your expectations now so your co-workers don't disappoint you with their lack of reliability. But you won't likely reach your goals if you let someone off the hook too easily, so adopting a relaxed approach isn't a smart tactic for long. Keep your aim high, remind others of their commitments and you won't fall short of your target.

You may be a bit scattered at work today because you're thinking of everything else you would rather be doing. But if your current activities aren't bringing you pleasure, your thoughts could fly all over the place as you attempt to find your groove. Instead of trying to make progress on every front, just pick one and focus all of your attention on it. Limit your options now so you can expand your future possibilities later.

You wish you could be irresponsible today and avoid following through on your previous promises. You might make a judgment error that leads you to think that you're more effective motivating others now rather than just meeting your obligations. In truth, the best leadership skill you could apply now is setting an example for everyone to follow. Don't talk about what needs to happen; just do it.

You don't want to admit that you're feeling hopelessly optimistic today because you think it will reveal too much vulnerability on your part. However, you probably do believe that better times are just around the next corner. Meanwhile, your personal life may suffer because you are focusing on the future instead of dealing with an issue in the present. Bringing your attention back to the here and now might be challenging at first, but will make you happier in the long run.
