Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

You may feel like keeping a low profile these days, and it's no wonder -- the stars heat things up to a high temperature.
Don't be too surprised if something you did in the past catches up with you.
There's nowhere to run once it finds you, so you may as well face it.
Try to give your attention to a personal challenge that comes up too quickly to be ignored.
You're lucky to have so much inner strength at your disposal.

OK.
