Daily Horoscope: Sagittarius

It's up to you to bring light rather than heat to the situation. Accent the positive instead of stating the obvious.

Mars in your sign rekindles all of your trailblazing tendencies. Where others see obstacles, you see a road less traveled.

You're an optimist by nature so it's never a good sign when you catalogue grudges. Tear up the scorecard. It's bringing you down.

Somewhere along the way you got caught up in others' expectations and lost sight of yours. Touch base with what you want before it disappears from view.

Is that wave of optimism here to stay or just a passing mood? It's here to stay. In fact things are about to get a whole lot better in a few short days.

Several things have changed recently and you're feeling overwhelmed. You're in transition. Take the next couple of weeks to review old assumptions in a new light.

Although the end is in sight, it's still out of reach. You're going to have to live with the transition a little longer.

You've done the best job you can buoying people's spirits, but how can they expect you to be in their corner if they're not there themselves? They have to believe in themselves too.

The next six months promise to be eventful. Granted the first three won't be easy, but the following three will make up for the trouble.

Sometimes it's not tough talk, but commiseration that gets people back on their feet. Share a tale or two from your own experience of the school of hard knocks.
