Daily Horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, October 15, 2009}


(Capricorn, December 22 to January 19: You want to be extra practical today, yet things keep happening to prove that nothing is clear. You may be annoyed at someone who gets you all stirred up, then doesn't have the courtesy to follow through with a mature discussion. Even if you do begin talking about love, the key players appear to be at cross-purposes with each other. Don't worry too much about this interaction, for the energies will shift over the days ahead.)

(Aquarius, January 20 to February 18: You are taking yourself more seriously now, yet you know this phase won't last long. Even so, you could find the time to get into it with an intimate partner when he or she decides that your long-term plans are illogical. Be careful, for you could easily become obsessed with a current idea. Listen to the advice with an open mind and heart.)

(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Your attraction to intimacy today can be complicated by unexpressed anger or your belief that someone is trying to coerce you into agreeing with them. Fortunately, you're too clever and slippery now to be dominated by anyone's show of force and you quickly escape the clutches of emotional possession. But it's going to take a few more days of being in limbo. Once you put some time behind you, you'll be fine. Horoscope via Twittascope.com.
