Feel smart; look smart.", "taurus": "If you find yourself encountering lots of differing style opinions, stick to solo style endeavors for a bit. Take a long walk or jog, tackle all that hand-washing or hem your own skirt. Beauty needn't be stressful.", "gemini": "Turn that beautiful brain of yours to any looming style decisions. Do you have a hankering for a new hair color? Are you bored with your current workout routine? Now's the time to come up with your next approach.", "cancer": "Try to roll with the punches for your greatest style success. Unseasonably cold? Use that pashmina as a blanket. Need to dress up your look? Sweep you hair into an elegant updo with just a pencil.", "leo": "Give as much energy to relationships as you do to primping right now. Let your sweetie take the first shower; visit the manicurist you haven't seen in a while; and make sure you leave your colorist an extra big tip.", "virgo": "Think before you share your pointers these days. Suggesting the new line of jeans, for example, will help a fashion-challenged pal more than criticizing her outdated sensibilities. Your tact is stylish!", "libra": "The stars are sending tons of interpersonal energy your way, which means it's time to tackle projects that require a little help. Hair cuts, facials, waxing appointments -- schedule them now, and you might make a new beauty best friend!", "scorpio": "Are you a dedicated fan of pumps? Sounds like you're due to give ballet flats a try. Do you always wear pants? Then get thee a pencil skirt! Just try on something new before that fashion rut gets any deeper.", "sagittarius": "Grab a like-minded pal to swap ideas and tricks with. You can tip her off to the great spa or salon you found; she can offer tips on brow shapes or defining your cheekbones. You'll both double your beauty options in the process.", "capricorn": "Plans are great, but it's always wise to have a backup. So start considering another outfit in case you can't make it to the dry cleaner today -- or throw a hair clip in your bag in case the tresses get unruly.", "aquarius": "Leave funky and innovative behind for a while and prioritize plain, old beautiful. Wear the soft colors you love, opt for glam cashmeres and silks, and showcase baubles that are particularly pleasing to the eye.", "pisces": "Join forces with others to boost your style success. Find a pal the same size as you and do some clothes swapping, or visit a salon's training night to get a steal on your new look and help a new stylist in the process!" }; // dailysingleslove.xml (File created: 11/13/2009) // Data for 11/22/2009 cs_scopes_dailysingleslove = { "aries": "Make a few plans today.

Sometimes weird is mildly alarming. If that person you'd preliminarily placed on the 'potential' list turns just a little bit too wacky, don't fret. Take them off the list and find somebody you like better.", "gemini": "Ever notice 'opinion' starts with an 'O'? As in, 'O, no, my opinion was wrong!' You could be opining an old opinion today, when you realize someone you didn't like is actually really great. Oh!", "cancer": "Emotion is like lotion -- it's great, but only in the right amount. If you squeeze out more than you can use, you end up with a big gooey mess. And it's wasteful! So measure your feelings today.", "leo": "Patience. It's not just your great-aunt's middle name. It's something you would do well to cultivate early on in a potential could-be relationship. So give them as much time as they need.", "virgo": "Well, you always knew you should be open-minded. It's just that sometimes it's so easy to lose sight of that. Today, focus on bringing something new to your romantic prospective.", "libra": "Today you get creative. You know what you like. You know who you like. But when it comes to how you like them, the sky's the limit. There are so many ways to express yourself!", "scorpio": "Maybe you should invite that potential honeybunch over to help paint your walls. Then again, maybe you shouldn't. Ask yourself: Do they want to paint your walls? The answer says it all.", "sagittarius": "If you're an electric socket, they're the plug. If you're the Internet, they're the wireless modem. That is to say, you two are really, really connecting. And boy, are you looking cute doing it!", "capricorn": "It's good to have some plans for the future. But it's not great to have too many. Especially if they rely too heavily on assumptions about someone else. For example that they automatically want what you do.", "aquarius": "Hey, who's that good-looking person looking at you in the mirror? It's you, silly pants. You're quite a good looker, in case you hadn't noticed before. Go ahead and give yourself a wolf whistle!", "pisces": "In love, even more than the rest of your life, it can be hard to be open to change.

You'll be surprised how much easier that second option is.", "gemini": "Your focus is all on work and your relationship may have to take a back seat to your professional life. That's okay -- your career is important too. Besides, you can make up for it this weekend.", "cancer": "You and your sweetie just can't seem to agree on anything lately. Stop going around and around and just agree to disagree. Then do something that you both love -- pizza and a movie?", "leo": "You're going to have to do your best imitation of a rubber band when it comes to dealing with your relationship. Don't understand what that means? Be flexible, silly! The more you bend, the happier your sweetie will be.", "virgo": "So your partner has this 'amazing' idea that they can't stop talking about. You, on the other hand, can't turn off your inner critic. Shh! Try to hear them out. The idea may not be as crazy as you think.", "libra": "One of the best ways to understand other people is to have a really good understanding of yourself.

They'll hear you out and offer some good, seasoned advice.", "sagittarius": "You and your mate are really going to connect tonight. You'll be on the same wavelength and enjoying each other's grooves. You'll be finishing each other's sentences, too. Why not skip the talking?", "capricorn": "If you and your love have a hankering for dinner out tonight, try not to break the bank in the process. Don't you know a picnic's more romantic anyway? If the weather's nice, try it.", "aquarius": "Share your crazy ideas with your sweetie today.

Share one or two tips, but turn the tables and ask about their life instead. They'll be diverted, and you'll keep your privacy.", "gemini": "You need to focus on the big picture right now. Let your housemates or family take care of the finer details like food shopping or taking out the recycling while you try and figure out how to weatherproof the house or install solar panels. What you bring to the mix are your uncanny sense of timing, a sharp eye for scale and a totally original sensibility.", "cancer": "Seventy-five percent of what Americans throw in the trash is recyclable, but only twenty-five percent of it actually ends up in recycling bins. It might make you feel a little weird, but go ahead and pluck those soda cans and plastic water bottles out of the trash when possible and put them in the proper place.", "leo": "You need to get out and about to keep your spirits up. Exotic voyages beckon, so don't ignore their seductive call. Take yourself on an escapade. But skip the wasteful hotels and go to http://www.homeexchange.com instead. Taking twenty minutes with a travel magazine could be enough to refresh you mind, body and soul.", "virgo": "Do a little experiment for a few days if you're a dedicated omnivore.

Pay attention not only to how it tastes, but how your body feels afterward.", "libra": "Aiming for a carbon-neutral lifestyle is a very worthwhile goal. But it's time to dial it down if you find yourself aiming for perfection. Stop being so hard on yourself. Do the very best you can everyday, but don't kick yourself if occasionally you don't daisy chain your errands while using your car.", "scorpio": "It's easy to confuse wanting things with wanting certain kinds of feelings in or out of your life.

Maybe that means talking to your family about conservation." }; astropromo = { 'promo1': 'Try Now: Life Path Reading', 'promo2': 'Try Free: Numerology Portrait' };
