Today's Horoscope

Don't get upset if things aren't progressing the way you'd like them to. Be patient.

The silent treatment will not get you anywhere today, so if you're using that tactic, you'd better come up with something else. Hey, here's a crazy idea -- how about conversation? It can be hard to start the discussion, but it won't be hard to continue it once you know you are being heard. There is no communication without an exchange of ideas, so break down your wall of silence and open up. You will prove a bigger point by talking than you ever could by being silent.

* hmm... somehow I just felt today's readings a bit not right... guess sometimes, quiet moments can be a good thing... communication is always the big 'C' that is giving people problems, whether at work, at home or at any place...
