Horoscope silliness
From Jonathan Cainer, the daily horoscope for Jan. 13 for Libra, sign of my natal sun and several planets: Go into any library and you will find shelves creaking and groaning under the weight of learned tomes containing 'definitive explanations'. Endless books containing endless answers. It's hard when you encounter such a sight, to think of the world as a place full of mystery. Yet believe it or not, we really don't know how everything works. There are still many things we must learn. You are now discovering a new side to a situation you once thought you understood completely. This may be baffling, but it is very beneficial.
And for Leo, sign of my natal moon and ascendant: If you don't know what's happening, maybe it's because you don't need to. If you can't get past an obstacle, perhaps this is because no further progress is necessary. Sometimes, problems perplex us quite unnecessarily. We come across a door that won't open and we feel frustrated. We completely overlook the fact that it leads only to a cupboard full of junk. Something is now making you feel very fed up. You are, though, actually being rescued from a situation that you really don't need to have anything to do with.
Same site, weekly 'scopes: For Leo: 'The higher you climb, the further you have to fall.' There's some truth in that old saying. It's the reason why a lot of people prefer to keep a low profile. If they don't have big expectations, they can't experience big disappointment. But, of course, there's another side to that coin. If you don't try, how can you ever hope to succeed? Your big obstacle this week is a direct result of your optimism. You can solve a lot of problems almost instantly, just by resolving to be less adventurous. But you deserve better than that. Keep striving and despite the difficulty you face, you will yet succeed.
And Libra: It's all very well deciding that good things are never going to happen, just because they don't seem to have happened in quite a long while. If you adopt an attitude like this, though, you practically force fortune to give up on you. You see, for as long as you are nurturing the idea that things will work out OK, you will keep trying out different ideas and exploring new possibilities. You won't feel daunted if they don't work, you will just redouble your efforts. But if you allow yourself to feel as if there really is no hope, you won't even try. This week, the sky is supplying the opportunity. You just have to add the optimism.
From this site, for Leo: Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby is the best Hollywood movie of 2004, said A.O. Scott in the New York Times. But Salon.com's Charles Taylor panned the film, calling it leaden and boring, "a compendium of every cliché from every bad boxing melodrama ever made." I suspect that you will get equally contradictory reviews for your life and work in the coming week, Leo. For instance, some people may regard you as a magician who has transformed rot into splendor, while others may think of you as a dabbler with too much self-esteem. Both are wrong. More importantly, their opinions, whether good or bad, shouldn't concern you. Be your own judge.
For Libra: In a recent study, researchers could not train blue jays to postpone their desire. After a thousand repetitions, the birds still kept gobbling down a tiny chunk of food instead of waiting a short time for a much bigger piece. Many scientists believe that humans are similarly hard-wired for instant gratification. If that's true, Libra, you must resist it with all your power in the coming week. A better, more substantial prize will soon become available if you can stop yourself from grabbing the meager treat that's in front of your nose right now.
