Daily Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini

{Daily horoscope for Monday, November 2, 2009.}


(Aries, March 21 to April 20: Today, set money issues aside and focus on things you can have an immediate effect on. Money can definitely give you power, but it can give you only so much -- so don't place too much importance on your finances right now. Money is not the only route to where you want to go. Your people skills are being wasted right now, so why not utilize some charm to move things along? A smile and a well-placed compliment may help you in a surprising way.)

(Taurus, April 21 to May 21: Right now, feeling good about who you are and where you are in life are getting easier and easier to do. You are appreciating the good things that are happening to you, and you are finally seeing them as blessings you deserve. This change in attitude is helping you feel more confident and more hopeful. And as your emotional health gets more and more robust, your physical health should follow. These two aspects of your life are more interconnected than you realize.)

(Gemini, May 22 to June 23: Is someone failing to meet all of your expectations? If so, the problem could be with your expectations. You can either choose to rethink what you want out of this person, or make it clear to her or him that the current situation just isn't going to work for you for very much longer. Your disapproval might be just what this person needs to make some real changes for the better. Use your power to motivate, but make sure you aren't holding anyone to unrealistic standards.

Creating Your Own Destiny...

The LA Times has an article today on The Satorialist, a fashion blog. Although it has nothing to do with decorating, we thought you might want to check it out. The blog is about fashion, worn by real people on the street. It is full of great photographs of real people, occasionally accompanied by background stories.

What is most interesting to us, though, is how a unique yet simple concept-when done with passion- can be so successful. The blog founder started his blog in 2005, simply by taking pictures of people on the street who put clothes together creatively. It is now one of the most 50 popular blogs in the world. If you read the blog, you'll see how unbelievably simple it is.

We love stories like that! While everyday we hear about people being out of work, getting laid off, or mainly just surviving, here is a case that shows us that we can create our own destiny and make our path in life.
