Horoscopes For Today: 2/23/2006
You're optimistic, eager and anxious to take a chance -- at least one. So now, when the universe taps you on the shoulder, and asks that you leap before you look, simply because it feels right, you'll be
more than happy to accept the challenge, and more than confident enough to pull it off. You've paid your dues for some time now. How about letting the warrior side of your personality have some long overdue fun?

I’ve always considered it a weakness of mine that I –always- leap before I look. It has caused numerous problems and an untold amount of heartache in my life to live this way, but I always had. For the last few years though, I haven’t. I was in a situation where every moment had to be analyzed thousands of times before I could do anything or make any decisions all for the sake of making someone else comfortable and happy. In the end, it made me miserable and turned me into a person I am not and who I don’t ever want to be again.

Everyone should just take a leap of faith. Jump!

Today I’m nervous. My annual review is in an hour and I am hopeful that the significant raise that was promised to me will actually be granted. But in the midst of a hiring freeze and rumors of the company being bought out I am worried. It doesn’t help any that I was late to work today just because I was up late on the phone, was already tired, and –really- needed to get a cup of coffee.
