Michael's Daily Horoscope

May 24

You may be content with your dreams now, but you're also aware that there is more to life than your fantasies with so many incomplete projects demanding your attention. Even if you're able to postpone a deadline for another day or two, you can't escape thinking about everything you have yet to finish. But worrying in advance doesn't accomplish anything unless you're ready to do something about it now. Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

May 26

You may feel a bit anxious today because you know something significant is going to happen, yet you don't know what it is. You might actually be in between two events and already anticipating the next one before you even process your most recent experience. Instead of rushing into the future, allow yourself the luxury of floating now without feeling guilty because you're not doing enough.

May 27

You have a short temper today with the Moon in reactionary Aries, and your shoot-from-the-hip delivery could turn a sticky situation into a real problem. Fortunately, a little common sense will go a long way to prevent a meltdown over a misunderstanding that won't matter much in the long run. If you get caught up in the heat of the moment and have to express your feelings, at least minimize the potential damage by accepting responsibility for your role in the current situation.

May 28

You must be on guard against your tendency to respond too quickly when interacting with others today. Someone might mistake your intensity for anger, or it's possible that you're really mad and don't even realize it. Either way, it's healthy to take a few relaxing breaths to check in with your emotions before losing your temper and dumping unresolved feelings onto those closest to you.

May 29

You're conflicted today as you sense the shift of energy and the intensity begins to fade. You're simultaneously happy and sad to feel this pause in all the action. Be smart and take advantage of the peace and quiet by doing something mellow to recharge your batteries. Your refreshed vitality will be needed once the pace picks up again in a few days.

May 30

Instead of aimlessly waiting to see where your day goes, create a basic plan upon rising today. It won't be difficult to balance your social activities with a few nagging chores as long as you keep your to-do list very short. Something fun may come up but you might need to say no if you haven't managed your time well. Thankfully, you can circumvent this all-too-familiar routine by simplifying your day and fulfilling your commitments early on.

June 2

Although you might be a bit sleep deprived from all the energy that you have been expending lately, you'll probably still be raring to go today. Mental Mercury enters airy Gemini, fanning your fires and fueling your enthusiasm. Keep in mind that you can push yourself too hard now, so don't overdo it by piling more distractions onto your already busy schedule. If you spread yourself too thin, you'll end up being exhausted by tonight with very little to show for your efforts.

June 3

Although things appear to be moving forward at first, your vision seems to be obscured today. You're ready for action, but it's hard to tell where you are going now. Even if you intuitively know that it makes sense to cool your jets, your frustration won't likely dissipate until you start making progress. Nevertheless, it will be easier to head off in a new direction once the fog clears next week.

June 4

You may be worried by how things are turning out, but you'll be in better shape than you think if you can let go of your inflated expectations. Your recent growth spurt is coming to an end now that opportunistic Jupiter has left your sign. You'll still be able to make changes and even increase your income, but you need to start practicing some self-restraint. Concentrate on delivering what's already been promised, instead of dreaming up a whole new set of schemes.

June 6

You may not get caught up with your work as fast as you wish today, for your mind is preoccupied with pleasure rather than production. It's a smart idea to get the distractions out of your system now, for you have too much to do and won't be able to procrastinate forever. Nevertheless, returning to your unfulfilled obligations with a smile on your face will help you accomplish more in the long run.

June 7

You may feel as if so much has happened and your life has changed a lot these past few months. However, the stability that you once counted on has faded. Fortunately, today could offer you small victories in your current battle of regaining control. But don't swing into action too quickly or you might run off in the wrong direction to fix problems that can wait. Ask someone you trust to help you set new priorities before you make a mistake.

June 8

The Moon's visit to your 6th House of Routine can raise your anxiety level today if you cannot figure out a way to complete everything that you promised. Naturally, it's not a good idea to blame anyone else for things that are ultimately your responsibility. Fortunately, you are able to approach your dilemma in a mature manner, gently sharing your concerns with those involved instead of dwelling on the past. Focusing on what needs to be done in the present moment elicits cooperation instead of conflict.

June 9

You want to explore the potential for fun now, and may grow resentful if you cannot escape your responsibilities at work. Anyone who stands in your way might become the target of your misplaced anger. Fortunately, you are able to compromise if you can acknowledge that your desires may be a bit extreme today. Unfortunately, you can't always live in the moment; you'll be happier if you balance your need for immediate gratification with your respect for promises already made.

June 10

It's challenging to know what to do today if your friends send you mixed messages. You may feel as if others set clear limits and then, once you acknowledge them by your actions, they wonder why you have withdrawn. Both of you are confused by the other person's reactions as you alternate between reality and fantasy. Although the truth seems to fluctuate, your most intelligent strategy is to fall back on communication. If in doubt, check it out.

June 11

You may not be able to say no today because your enthusiasm is running high. You are sure that it is wise to give everyone the same chances that you want for yourself. But your desire to motivate others isn't specifically about the value of any one specific idea; rather, you want your friends and acquaintances to succeed no matter what. For now, being supportive is more important than anything else.

June 12

Relationships may appear to be out of control, but you aren't too worried because you are confident that you can pull everything back together. Actually, you might even enjoy all the action today. Surprisingly, you could get what you want if you maintain a healthy perspective so you don't act too impulsively. Slow down and turn on your charm; your witty ways may score you the extra points you seek if you remember not to push things too far.

June 13

It may be difficult to make your point today because you might be so serious that you scare someone away before you explain what's on your mind. Once you realize what's happening, you're tempted to overcompensate and become so accommodating that you back away from even broaching the topic. Although you could feel pushed and pulled by the changing tides, it's still possible to be effective. Take your time and think about what you're going to say before you open your mouth.

June 15

You believe that you can justify almost anything you want to do today; however, your logic might not seem all that rational to someone else. Even if your motives are admirable, your impulsive behavior may not go over well with others. Be careful of your overconfidence leading you to do something you will later regret. Keep in mind that it's wiser to heed the cautionary advice that you're given now, even if it temporarily puts a crimp in your style.

June 16

Whether or not you're worried about what you're doing, you're still concerned about what others think. Although you might not purposefully try to mislead anyone, you could be tempted to avoid a delicate situation today. Clever Mercury enables you to hide your fancy footwork so that no one realizes that you have taken a shortcut. Nevertheless, your self-esteem still suffers unless you choose to take the high road.

June 17

You are less inclined to start a project today unless you already have a sensible plan in place. Fortunately, the cautious Capricorn Moon increases your ability to think through several contingencies and to map out a sound strategy. Don't limit your options too much; combine your practical approach with your visionary ideas. Your current determination allows you to succeed now when otherwise you might have given up too soon.

June 21, 2011

It's no fun when someone gets on your case, but you may as well save your complaining for another day. You won't likely receive a lot of support if an idea of yours cannot stand up to fair criticism. Thankfully, the circumstances aren't as dire as you think. Your contribution can have significant impact if you're willing to learn a tough lesson now and step up your game as needed.

June 22, 2011

Saying something with authority doesn't make it true, but pushy Mars' square with deceptive Neptune tempts you to try this ploy as a strategy today. You may actually believe that you can talk someone into seeing the world through your eyes. But overpowering others by insisting you're right only makes you sound foolish, because your rationalizations are more transparent than you realize. There's no need to pretend that you're in control when you're not. Those who know you love you simply for being yourself.

June 23, 2011

Although you are able to charge forward into the unknown, it would be wise to consider your options before you find yourself in over your head. Your usual way of overcoming fear is to jump into a situation as you feel the adrenaline building. However, the Moon's shift into your sign today allows you to be uncharacteristically sensitive, making you more aware of the potential problems ahead. You can quickly change your plans along the way, but a bit of forethought is still advised.

June 25, 2011

You're likely to step on someone's toes as mischievous Mercury aspects warrior Mars. You might not even realize that your behavior is reckless because the self-directed Aries Moon encourages you to act first and think about it later. Remember, an impulsive response can get you into trouble because your immediate reaction might be off the mark. Wait until next week to make any major decisions if you can.

June 26, 2011

You might do something that upsets someone today because you're willing to gamble your security for the possibility of an amazing experience. You're more ready than ever to push the envelope of your reality. However, caution is advised because you won't likely get what you want unless you are willing to make a strategic plan first. Remember, what you do before you take action is as important as what you do after
