HOROSCOPES
08 Feb. 2017
ARIES
March 21 -April 19
Not everything needs to fall on your shoulders. Take the day off from trying to save those around you, and focus on your own needs. The world will still be turning tomorrow, and others generally come to the right decisions after some time alone.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Go for it, no matter what it is that you truly want. Go get the lucky girl/guy, order that pizza, and make the most of the day you have been given!
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Be careful with any big decisions today. Think hard about the true consequences of your actions, and whether you are truly ready for the aftermath. Give it a couple of days, and if you still feel the same way, then act. Now is not the time for rash behaviour.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Sometimes you need to wait and think about whether you truly need what is being offered. Look out for yourself, and make sure that you truly need, and can afford to indulge in the temptations – it might just save you some precious time and money.
LEO
July 23 – August 22
It is important to focus on close friends and family today. Somebody close to you is hurting, and they need you to be there for them. When spending time with loved ones, take extra care to take in and listen to what is being said – make sure they know that they are loved.
VIRGO
August 23 – September 22
Today is the the day to be truly honest to yourself – are you happy? If not, what do you need to change in order to become the better version of you which you see in your mind? It might be hard, but every now and then we all need to put ourselves first, and own up to the truth of our real emotions.
LIBRA
September 23 – October 22
Hard times may shortly follow, so it’s important to understand the importance of self-belief. You can do this – life so far has not exactly always been easy, and you’ve always been able to see yourself through the troubled waters. With you family and friends in tow you have nothing to fear – all struggles are only arbitrary, and Jupiter will return with her favours soon.
SCORPIA
October 23 – November 21
Not everything you read is true, so be careful when getting involved in other people’s political and ideological views. Now is not the time to play the activist – just sit back and try to contain your inner keyboard warrior.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 – December 21
Life may seem dull and boring for you at the moment, but just hang in there for a little bit longer, and your hard work will start to pay off. There’s no point in rushing to solve all your worries today, you have a whole life-time to work out exactly where you belong.
CAPRICORN
December 22 – January 19
Not everybody who seems to be your friend has your best interests at heart. If somebody says something spiteful, or tries to convince you do something that feels wrong stick up for yourself – if they stomp off in a rage that’s their issue and not yours.
AQUARIUS
January 20 – February 18
Keep calm today – people may try to get a rise out of you but simply turn the other cheek. They’re not worth it.
PISCES
February 19 – March 20
Avoid those who try to pressure you into doing something you don’t want to do. You may feel vulnerable, but hang in there and eventually your current worries will start to fade. Giving into other’s for instant gratification should be avoided at all costs today, it will not solve the underlying issue, and in-fact will probably make it much worse for you in the coming months.

NOTES
I have to admit that when I first read today’s task I was worried. I’m not the type of person to read horoscopes, and to be honest I had to google star signs as I could not remember them for the life of me!
While I was doing this, I also worked out that the length of horoscopes varied from a line to about half a page, so I decided to keep each one nice and short.
Verdict – Not exactly my cup of tea, but I think I managed to make them sound at least a little bit like horoscopes…

He he he… when I was younger I used to read the daily horoscopes and try and believe in them as my Mum was addicted to them. Blimey… we’re talking a LONG time ago but Russell Grant used to read a daily horoscope on Breakfast Time and God help any of us who made a noise whenever he was reading them out. I still don’t understand why Aries is ALWAYS the “first” sign. Who writes these rules? It’s also amusing how many people I’ve met over my life who still confuse Astrology with Astronomy. I’m an amateur Astronomer… I like to observe the night skies but quite a few when I’ve mentioned my Astronomy interest have asked me what their horoscope is for the day! Duh!?!?

Haha, I’ve read them in the past, but it’s never been a part of my daily routine. I get that people find them helpful and that they’re a way of life for some people, but I’m more like ‘whatever happens will happen.’

I see them as a harmless little “pick me up” as some do read and follow them. Myself? Life is too chaotic and random so like yerself, I take each day as it comes. When I did read them I did feel a bit cheated when my day was nothing like what was predicted… and that was when it clicked – I’m a Leo, there’s millions of Leo’s so how on Earth can we all have the same kind of day… plus each astrologer would have different predictions… a game of mix and match I guess that I was too busy to play or get into! My mind thought a bit too logically and cynically for some!
