Aries: Although there is a danger of taking on too much, it should do you a world of good to expand your mind by delving deeper into a subject. Even philosophy can be understandable if well taught, as well as highly illuminating. The outlook is fair for travel. Do not overload yourself with luggage if you are going a long distance. It is impossible to prepare for every eventuality, so you just have to accept an element of chance. An unusual job opportunity could come your way unexpectedly. Unless you must respond immediately, it would be wise to take some time to think it over and then to discuss it with loved ones.
Taurus: Travel may be a problem. The best attitude to adopt is one of stoic acceptance; there is really no way you can hurry things along. Romance can get sidetracked for the silliest of reasons. You must let that special person in your life know what is on your mind. If you are disturbed, they will sense it, and probably fear the worst. It would not be wise to splurge on an expensive vacation without first checking that it is really going to fulfill a dream. Otherwise, disappointment is almost inevitable, and loved ones might blame you for building up their hopes and then letting them down.
Gemini: You as a writers should feel inspiration flow from the moment you wake up. Gather your energy and get to work as soon as possible; if you wait too long your enthusiasm is apt to wane. A romantic affair will go more smoothly if you are honest in talking about your hopes. Let that special person in your life know where they stand, so that they know what to expect from you. A more authoritative approach with youngsters may work better than trying to relate on their own level. Sometimes children need the comfort of being sure who is in charge and what they cannot get away with.
Cancer: Push ahead with current projects for self-development. Your determination to succeed is very strong. It is now possible to achieve more than usual, and every success will spur you on to ever greater heights. A romantic affair can advance to the next stage as you both begin to trust each other more. A deep connection gives you a profound sense of understanding without anything being said. Family events can help to renew relationships between relatives who have not met for some time.
Leo: A sudden windfall can give your finances a much needed boost. A romantic affair should be much more enjoyable if you allow each other some independence. The time you spend together will be all the more pleasurable for having separate concerns. Property negotiations are likely to be put in motion quite quickly. You will have to move swiftly in order to keep up with the process and make sure you get the best deal. Work offers you some scope for putting your basic ideals into action.
Virgo: A loved one’s confession could leave you feeling unsure about how to react. It is probably best to give yourself time to figure out exactly what the implications are. Be careful when using any electrical equipment; a faulty connection could cause a small shock. You can get to the bottom of a family mystery by asking those concerned a few pertinent questions. They might actually be glad to clear things up, allowing them to drop the emotional burden. Joint savings should be put into a sound, conservative investment, even if the returns are modest.
Libra: Put all your energy into pushing ahead with a personal goal and you stand every chance of a satisfying achievement. Being more extroverted than usual will convince other people of the seriousness of your intentions. It is important that any financial deal be absolutely ethical. Work off excess energy in the health club or on a jogging trail. Otherwise you may find it difficult to settle down to tasks demanding concentrated effort this evening. You can make your voice heard in a local meeting.
Scorpion: The day may get off to a scratchy start. Little things are apt to upset you more than usual, as if you are looking for an excuse to lash out at other people. Even if you have to make sacrifices in some other area of your life, the eventual reward will be worth it. Now is not the time to get itchy feet; an important project should be absorbing most of your energy, and it is vital to see it through to the very end. Work put in now should stand you in good stead later on; others who are involved will appreciate your efforts. Donate some time or money to a good cause.
Sagittarius: Your critical faculty usually warns you when people are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. A relative or friend may be trying to cover up a problem and buy time to patch it up, but this should not be allowed to go unnoticed. You are now more susceptible than usual to a sales pitch. Unless you have already decided to buy, try to restrain yourself. Pets may vanish for a while, but they are bound to be somewhere in the neighborhood so there is no need to panic.
Capricorn: Collectors could find a valuable new piece by looking in the least likely places. This is a time to think seriously about getting some additional insurance. Do not begrudge putting in overtime at work; the extra money will come in handy, and your positive attitude is sure to be noted by higher-ups. Nourishment should have more than physical value; your mind and emotions need healthy and regular feeding as well.
Aquarius: Do not invest too much time and emotion in a new romantic affair. Time alone will tell whether the relationship is going to last. Let it develop slowly and it stands a better chance of maturing fully. Financially you could be tempted in several directions. However, current funds are probably not sufficient to cover everything you want, even if you leave your family’s needs out of the equation. You are bound to hit slow, unproductive periods, but hopefully these will be balanced by periods when you can make enough money to build up your bank account.
Pisces: A mystery should be cleared up when a colleague confesses to some recent behavior that seems out of character. You may feel somewhat let down but not be inclined to take the matter further. A small legacy from a distant relative should finally come through, just in time to tide you over a difficult financial period. Do not hesitate to make use of insider information to advance yourself at work. All is fair in love and war, and you know that your rivals would not hesitate if they were in your place.
