So I'm Supposed To Do Some Ironing? 5

If you can just cross off a few items on that to-do list, you'll be amazed at how easily your efforts can produce gold. Unfortunately, yawning and edging your way back toward the couch may be all you can muster up the energy to do. Oh, just give it one good try.

You may receive an income boost today and, thankfully, every little bit helps. Fortunately, this isn't an ethereal buzz that materializes from a different dimension. Financial advice that can have an immediate and positive impact on your day comes to you in the form of a concrete suggestion from someone you know. But don't be content to stick with one approach. It makes good sense now to keep a few extra irons in the fire.

So, am I getting income or just advice? So tired of all these promises. I've been paying attention and working hard and watching every damn iron that I have in the fire and...NOTHING!

Got my butt off the couch and did end up talking about a potential gig, so I'll give you that one, Horoscope. No real income boost or financial advice today, no concrete suggestion from someone I know. All my irons are still in the fire. As always.

Dear Horoscope, All I Really Wanted To Hear Is That I'm Going To Win The Lotto 0 (updated)

You will show tremendous heart as you support someone who may or may not come through. This is more about loyalty than winning. Loved ones appreciate your encouragement.

Isn't it always?

(This is for January)
Your social circle will explode at the solar eclipse on the 4th, and energetic Mars will ensure that every face you meet brings opportunities. On this same date, Jupiter and Uranus will conjoin for the last time until 2024, and you could get an exciting offer that will leave you speechless. It's likely to be career oriented, given Venus also enters this sector on the 7th. When the full moon arrives on the 19th, your closest relationship will culminate precisely the way you'd hoped. Though you've had financial problems over the past few months, when Jupiter moves into Aries on the 22nd, any money troubles will be long forgotten. This is a rare chance to reach fiscal fortitude-- seize it!!

Well, well, well, January Horoscope, you are full of promises and money. Today is the 4th and the only people I really plan to see today are the carpet cleaners and the only opportunity I can imagine them bringing me is the chance to have cleaner carpets but you are just so darn positive that I am prepared to be open-minded. Bring on the friends and money!

2 pm. I haven't encouraged anyone (yet) today (though I did help a guy out in the produce aisle at the grocery store) and I forgot to buy a ticket for the $330 million lotto so I guess I won't be winning that. I remain open-minded, Horoscope. Bring it on!

So, Horoscope, there were LOTS of promises made for yesterday: new people, new opportunities, money, offers, etc. What did I get? A COLD! And many of the other horoscopes for yesterday and the month (which I did not reproduce because Blogger no longer has the cut and paste option which is really irritating and making me consider moving this blog - yet again) promised that I would reap the benefits of all my hard work from last year so when NOTHING showed up did I doubt you, Horoscope? No. I doubted ME. Maybe I didn't work hard enough last year. Maybe I didn't do enough to deserve rewards.

What is wrong with me? Why is there even a part of me that would choose to think that because unnamed and hypothetical riches failed to show up that I must be undeserving? I'm still struggling with this. Part of me WANTS to believe. But how can I believe when all that belief does is make me doubt myself?

So I Guess I Need A Check List 3

Your mind is so creative, and it will give you many different answers to the problems that life and business set before you -- so many, in fact, that it will be challenging to know which solution is the best.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

You are standing at the edge of a canyon and there's no apparent way across to the other side. Instead of rushing the looming transition, return to your checklist and go over the details one last time before blasting ahead.

I have no idea what this means except that I'm probably in for some trouble.

You get no points for vagueness, Horoscope.

Today's Horoscope Can (And Will) Apply To The Whole Year 3

Push through your fears of rejection, even if it seems like no one appreciates your extra effort. Don't rely on getting approval for your actions; just listen to your instincts and do what feels natural.

Good advice for the whole year. I think I'll take it.

You will do something courageous. You will express yourself without worrying how others will judge you.

OK, then. I get it.

You'll have lots of energy today; instead of tackling mundane tasks, channel your enthusiasm into a new creative project.

So, I DID email my boss and told him that I wanted to work more in 2011 but other than that I was a sloth; lying on the bed, doing crossword puzzles, reading magazines, and watching a Larry Sanders marathon. Not exactly courageous, Horoscope. And sorry, I had no enthusiasm or creativity.
