Take the First Step

I think it's a widely accepted fact that Yahoo! has become the dumber version of Google. They've added a lot of stuff in recent years to compete with Google (and compensate for the fact that their search engine isn't as productive as Google's search engine) and the website still is popular - heck, I still use it for Sports and Movies. Despite this, or maybe because of it, I decided to use the horoscopes on their site. I thought they might be fun and a little on the fluffy side. And in a way, they sort of are. Each horoscope is preceded by a "Quickie," I guess for those people who don't have time to read two sentences? "I'm supposed to read all this AND drink my morning coffee? Too much. Give me one that I can tweet so my 15 followers can read it too!" I will not be using the "Quickies" because I think that the idea of them is kinda dumb, but then again, this is Yahoo we're talking about.

Virgo: It's a really good day for flexibility, especially since so many of those around you are sure to be unsure of themselves. If you trash their opinions, you might also accidentally trash your relationships.

I'm actually not very good at this. It's not like I MEAN to "trash" people's opinions, I just kinda get carried away in conversations. And I'm pretty protective of my own opinions, so I defend them pretty heavily. So, apparently, I should be more careful in what I say. HOWEVER, I am given the slight loophole that I "might" accidentally trash the relationship. That doesn't mean that it's a definite. So for those of you around me that are unsure of yourself: I might act a little nicer to you but I'm not going to cut you that much slack.

I wish I would have read this earlier. I would have done some yoga before work.

Taurus:
You and an enemy actually share at least one common goal, so it may be a good time to rethink your attitude toward alliances. You should see about getting them to let their guard down -- but you go first!

I honestly think this is one of the first times that my Taurus and I have been told basically the same thing : Take the first step in being nice to people! So I guess that's a good thing. Except that the Tauruses are kind of being commanded to do it - and make more friends in the process - while us Virgos are just kind of being gently nudged in that direction.

So uh...that's the take-away I guess. We should be more receptive to those namby-pamby folks who we typically either don't give much adherence to or consider an adversary. Weak-willed villains of the world: I have a hug and a listening ear to give you!
