Daily Horoscope: Virgo

You don't like being made to explain each and every step, but if anyone can beat a nitpicker at his own game: it's you.

A transaction doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Don't be angry for having high hopes; be thankful you caught it in the first place.

At first it feels like you gave away the game, but hold on because a slip of the tongue reveals that a rival may have beaten you to it.

Problems in somebody else's corner of the world could mean a delay in getting paid. You feel for this person but money's money. Gently press for a pay date.

You warned a friend that s/he was walking into a trap and now it's sprung. Lend a helping hand but avoid saying "I told you so."

Be open to what a friend has to say today. You'll walk away with renewed hope for a situation you believed to be hopeless.

You always give sensible advice, but now's not the time. What a friend needs is a shoulder to lean on. And grab a box of tissues while you're at it.

Just about everyone wants to confide in you. It's flattering, but be careful. You don't want to get dragged into their spidery intrigues.

Going out with someone different introduces you to a world you didn't know existed. Enjoy having your horizons broadened.

You're happy to help out as long as a friend doesn't drag you down. Set parameters before lifting a finger.
