Born between:
Although you often give the impression of being carefree and happy-go-lucky, underneath that cheerful exterior you can be very sensitive and easily hurt. And this is one of those days when you feel particularly vulnerable and exposed, making you highly attuned to the merest hint of emotional rejection. So if someone can't spare you much time, you'll automatically put the worst possible interpretation on it even if this is far from the truth.
Love relationships are rather low-key today, and might even be hard work, but they are worth persevering with because the results will be great. For instance, you might go through a sticky patch with your beloved, but if you have the guts to sort it out you'll both develop a greater understanding of what makes your relationship tick and the level of stress that it can endure.
You're taking life very seriously today, especially when it comes to your work and health. Why worry that you can't do your job properly, even though you can? Are you dissatisfied with your reflection in the mirror? The trick lies in knowing when you're being pessimistic and overly critical of yourself, and when you're being realistic. Why take a gloomy view? Decide to see things as they really are.
It's very difficult to make an emotional connection today. There seems to be a big gulf between you which is almost impossible to cross. Try to work out what's wrong, but don't imagine that the situation is worse than it really is. Try not to retreat into a protective sulk that makes the other person feel they're being rejected, because then you'll be setting up a vicious circle.
What is normally a close relationship, feels unhappy and out of your grasp today. Whether you are separated physically or emotionally, it feels as though there's a huge gulf between you. It's putting you on the defensive and you may even toy with the idea of ending the relationship rather than cope with this rift. But don't throw in the towel just yet, because things could soon get back on track or you may realize that they weren't nearly as bad as you feared.
Your emotions are in rather a fragile state today, and you're quite likely to imagine that someone has slighted you when that isn't really what's happened at all. Maybe they're simply too busy to spend as much time with you as you'd like. Resist the temptation to tell yourself that this is the end of the road, or that you're going to finish the relationship through sheer pique. Wait and see what happens during the next few days before taking such desperate measures.
You're taking things very seriously today and could easily misconstrue what happens with a certain person, especially if they're too busy to spend much time with you. You might interpret this as a brush-off or a put down, even if it's no such thing. There could also be a rift between you and someone over a religious or ethical parting of the ways. Don't make more of it than it is already. Uplifting colours are khaki and copper. Lucky numbers are 11 and 45.
This is a rather low-key day, but it could still bring you some very satisfying emotional experiences with a friend. It's a great opportunity to give this person your support and also to work at making your relationship even stronger than it already is. However, don't expect lots of fireworks to accompany all this because the atmosphere will be much more muted than that.
Emotional matters are a minefield today. You're feeling so sensitive and so easily hurt, that you'll read all sorts of sinister motives into the behaviour of loved ones. Quite honestly, you might be better off by yourself until this tricky mood blows over, provided you don't spend your time brooding over imagined slights or nursing your grievances. Rejoin the world when you're feeling more positive.
You're in a very sober and reflective mood today, and it will affect your emotions. As a result, you won't be nearly as demonstrative or loving as usual, which may make certain people wonder what's going on. If they seem to be hurt by your current attitude it's only kind to tell them how you feel, otherwise they'll wonder if they've done something wrong or whether you're going off them.
Emotionally, you're in a very vulnerable position today because you're highly sensitive to any hint of rejection from other people. You may even imagine that you're being given the cold shoulder when this isn't what's happening at all. If you've got the money, it's a great day for investing it sensibly in schemes that will grow in value over the years.
It's a tricky day, so be careful. You're in need of company but the people you seek out won't have as much time for you as you'd like. They may be genuinely busy with other things, but if you aren't careful you'll convince yourself that they're making excuses because they don't really want to see you. Try not to believe that you've been given the brush off unless the evidence is overwhelming.
Strange things could happen with a friend during the next two weeks, giving you an entirely new perspective on them. You might decide that you need to have a word in their ear about something, particularly if you don't want it to happen again. Or you could realize that your feelings for them are changing and you need to do something about it.
Today's Full Moon is one of the most important of the year for you because it's encouraging you to cut out the dross from your personal life, whether this is a situation that's gone on for too long, a relationship that no longer has anything to offer you or a habit that you need to kick. Grit your teeth and start making changes that you know are long overdue. They'll lead to a new you.
Pay close attention to your cash flow during the next two weeks, especially if you've had lots of outgoings recently. You might have to tighten your belt to get you through a lean financial phase or promise yourself that you'll avoid the shops so you aren't tempted to make lots of impulse buys. If your priorities in life always take a back seat to more pressing but less satisfying activities, try to redress the balance now.
Tidy up your immediate surroundings during the next two weeks, especially if you're starting to accumulate a lot of clutter. Get rid of anything you no longer need, or put it in a safe place until you can decide what to do with it. You might also take part in some neighbourhood activities, especially if these involve solving a local problem.
If a family matter has been worrying you recently, try to sort it out during the coming fortnight. And if it would be impossible to fix it that quickly, at least you can make a start. This will also be a very good opportunity to come to terms with a poignant episode from your past that still has the power to upset you. Take it gently, and seek professional help if you think it's necessary.
If you're currently working on a creative or artistic project, think how proud you'll feel if you can put the finishing touches to it during the coming fortnight. You'll then have the confidence to start something that's even more ambitious and which stretches your talents still further. This will also be a good time to smooth over any problems with a loved one that have been bugging you recently.
If you're worried about your health, or that of someone dear to you, try to do something about it during the next two weeks. Seek medical help if needs be, or talk to someone who can give you some useful advice. If you want to lose weight, give up a habit such as smoking, or get more exercise, this is a marvellous time to begin. Take it gently and don't expect overnight miracles.
Today's Full Moon highlights your relationships during the coming fortnight, and matters with a certain person could come to a crisis. If so, you'll have to be very careful about the action you take. You'll have realized that you can't stand idly by any longer, yet you won't want to do anything that makes the situation worse rather than better. Be guided by your sense of what's right and fair.
Reassess all your joint financial arrangements during the next two weeks, making sure that there are no loose ends waiting to trip you up. Are your tax affairs up to date? Have you paid your latest credit card bills? If you're fed up with the so-called service provided by your bank or building society, this is a good opportunity to take your custom elsewhere.
The next two weeks will present you with some interesting problems concerning your morals and beliefs. You'll be faced with a difficult question that can't be resolved as easily as you might at first imagine, and you may even have to do some soul-searching before you can come up with a satisfactory solution.
You've been feeling very agitated about certain responsibilities and expectations lately, and today's Full Moon is encouraging you to reach some sober decisions about them. If you feel they're running your life and making it a misery then maybe it's time to reduce the number of obligations that have fallen on your shoulders.
Today's Full Moon is urging you to face up to any worries that are currently nagging away at the back of your mind. Although you'd probably like to pretend that such anxieties don't exist, they aren't going to vanish of their own accord. Instead, you've got to do something about them, and the sooner the better. It will be a relief to take some constructive action at last.
This is a good day for getting together with some of the family because you'll enjoy one another's company. However, someone could get their knickers in a twist, which will lead to a tricky atmosphere and possibly even some raised voices. This is especially likely if the conversation strays into memories of the past, with people arguing about what really happened.
It's horribly easy to get caught up in tiny details today, so that you eventually lose sight of the bigger picture and become obsessed with the minutiae of life instead. This is especially likely if you're tackling some paperwork or you're doing something that should have been finished a long time ago and which you now feel guilty about.
Someone is full of talk, but they can't back up what they're saying. They might be making promises they can't keep, or giving you a load of hot air. Alternatively, your conversation may be blighted by confusion that originates from both taking subjective viewpoints or making unfounded assumptions.
It's a slightly tricky day. Is your heart is ruling your head, or vice versa? Avoid veering wildly between taking a very logical stance about something and then becoming extremely emotional about it. No one will know where you stand on the subject, least of all you. Avoid making decisions while you're in such an uncertain mood.
A loved one is blowing hot and cold, so you don't know where you stand with them. One minute you're in favour and the next you're in trouble. Try not to take this personally because it isn't really directed at you. Instead, it's saying a great deal about the erratic and quicksilver state of this person's emotions. Maybe you should ask them what's wrong?
Be careful because you're being very subjective today, and you're quite likely to make snap judgements about people based purely on what they look or sound like. Logic won't enter into it. As a result, this isn't the day to get involved in a sensitive discussion because you simply won't be able to manage it without getting incensed about the smallest little thing.
You're torn between logic and emotion today, with the result that you'll keep changing your mind about what you think. This will be made worse if you ask others for their opinions because you'll quickly decide that they're right, before moving on to the next person and probably revising your views again in the light of what they say. You'll end up going round in circles if you carry on like this!
It's impossible to guess what your partner is going to do next because they seem to be acting completely on a whim today. Maybe they're on a quest for excitement and new experiences, even if this causes problems for you. They certainly won't appreciate it if you cling to them or try to tie them down, so do your best to give them the freedom they need at the moment.
Are you feeling agitated or annoyed about something? Then do something constructive about it, otherwise you're likely to take out your feelings on whoever happens to be around. This means you might pick a quarrel with them over something really silly, simply so you can let off steam. It will help to stay busy and physically active.
The atmosphere is rather fraught today, which could soon lead to a ding-dong with someone. The vexed questions of money and sex are especially likely to make the fur fly, so mention them at your peril. If you aren't the one who wants to pick a fight it will be your other half, and they'll be like a terrier with a bone. Do you honestly have the energy for it?
Someone seems to be a walking encyclopedia, judging by their determination to hurl facts and figures at you. You'll very soon lose interest but will they stop talking? No, they won't. Try to resist the temptation to engage them in a battle of words in which the winner is the one who talks longest and loudest. Maybe you could change the subject to something more interesting?
If a friend is recounting a story to you, bear in mind that they aren't the most reliable witness in the world right now. They may be placing undue emphasis on certain aspects of their tale, perhaps because they want to gain your sympathy or make you reach a particular conclusion. You may also be guilty of this, even if you aren't aware of it at the time.
If there have been problems with you-know-who recently, this is a good day to sort them out. You won't have to make a huge production out of it, either, because a few quiet words in their ear might be all that's needed to get things back on track. Alternatively, if someone wants to reason with you, you'll be very receptive to what they're saying.
You're in a very dreamy and preoccupied mood this Saturday, so you seem to be wandering around in a world of your own. Ideally, you should take the day off so you can relax in peace, without having to worry about making mistakes or giving people the wrong impression because both of these are easily done right now. Try to steer clear of alcohol, because that will make you feel worse.
You're in a highly-charged emotional state, making you vulnerable to your shifting moods. If something upsets you, it's not the end of the world, but if something makes you happy you'll feel delirious with joy. Try to keep away from anyone who's draining because they'll have a bad impact on you, and you'll soak up their mood like a sponge.
Watch out when handling money today. You're slightly absent-minded right now and may not notice mistakes that take place until after the event. You could be short-changed or someone might charge you the wrong price for something you buy. If you are steadfastly ignoring some unpleasant financial facts, you'll have to face up to them sooner or later.
You need to slow down! You've been working at full tilt recently but today you realize that you can't keep this up for much longer without a break. Try to do as little as possible as often as possible, especially if this means relaxing with your feet up and forgetting about all the chores that are waiting for you. It will also be easy to unwind if you're in or near water.
You don't have much energy today and all you really want to do is to slump in a comfortable chair and do as little as possible. It will certainly do you good to have a break now and you'll struggle to do anything every energetic. Ideally, you should spend some time with loved ones, perhaps with them waiting on you hand and foot. Now that's more like it!
Take care of yourself because you won't have as much stamina as usual. This means you could get worn out quickly or want to spend the day in bed. It will do you far more good to rest and recuperate than to push yourself to the limit. However, if you have no choice but to keep busy, at least give yourself plenty of breaks and make sure you're eating and drinking sensibly.
If you're currently in two minds about your relationship with a certain person it will be even more difficult to work out what's going on today. For a start, you aren't thinking as clearly as normal so there's a chance that you might talk yourself into believing what you want to believe. You're also very susceptible to this person's charms and don't want to hurt them.
Your Cancerian intuition is working well today, particularly when thinking about a close partner. You might instinctively know that they're about to phone you, or you have such an intense dream about them that you can't stop thinking about them when you wake up. It's a day for following your gut feelings and you may be getting a strong hunch about this person.
It will be difficult to concentrate today because your mind is on other things. In fact, you're floating off into a world of your own at every opportunity, and this will mean you come across as very absent-minded and vague. You're keen to tune into the atmosphere around you, and you'll be very good at this. So trust your instincts and listen to what they're telling you.
Be careful today because your emotions are in a state of flux, which could lead to confusion and mixed messages. You should be especially aware of this when dealing with people of power or influence, in case you give them the wrong impression. It will also be difficult to keep track of your thoughts, so you'll appear to be absent-minded or distracted.
Your heightened emotions could be your friend or foe today. It all depends on how you use them and what's going on around you. If you're with people that you can trust, you'll have some profound insights into your feelings about them. But if you're with people who put you on your guard, your imagination will start to run riot and you'll end up feeling confused about people's motives.
Boredom is just a blink away today, so find constructive ways to keep it at bay. The moment you start to get fed up you'll want to stir up a little trouble or do things that make people sit up and take notice, both of which could land you in hot water. Is your present mood further proof that your daily schedule is tedious enough to make a chronic insomniac drop off to sleep? If so, you must decide what you're going to do about it.
You need to prove that you're an individual in your own right today, and you won't like it one bit if someone is trying to fit you into a neat stereotype or make you toe the line when you don't want to. You may even feel compelled to do something reckless or drastic in order to get your point across, but only do this if you've exhausted every other avenue without getting anywhere.
Carelessness with money could cause endless problems, Aquarius. Double-check, you might overlook something important, especially if you're dealing with an official financial matter such as your taxes or an insurance policy. You must also guard against a tendency to be slipshod, or to take reckless decisions on the spur of the moment.
If you're fed up with your current image, or the opinion that most people seem to have of you, do something about it now. Even if you want to have instantaneous results, try not to to overdo it. You might wear some clothes that grab everyone's attention or which make a dramatic statement, so everyone gets the message loud and clear.
Don't take your eye off the ball if you're working on something fiddly or complex today because that's when mistakes could happen. You'll kick yourself if you mess up something through a momentary lapse of concentration. Ideally, you should double-check anything important to make sure that you've done it properly and haven't overlooked a vital element.
Expect the unexpected today and you won't be disappointed. For a start, a partner could keep you on your toes when they do something you weren't expecting or they make a surprising announcement. Alternatively, you could be gripped by restless or impulsive urges that are screaming for expression. Handle them with care or they could cause havoc.
You're in a very erratic mood today, making it difficult to settle down to anything for long before you start to get bored or irritated. Ideally, you should have as many distractions and changes of pace as possible now, to keep yourself interested in what's going on around you. Concentrate when using sharp or hot objects to avoid becoming accident-prone.
Are you fed up with your image? Bored with the way everyone expects you to behave? Then it's time to do something about it. However, you must be careful not to go over the top because that won't be very helpful even if it's fun at the time. You should also be prepared for certain people to resist these changes that you're making because they make them feel threatened or envious.
A loved one could be careless of your feelings today, making what seem to you like crass or insensitive comments. Or maybe they're accusing you of something similar? It's difficult to keep a check on your emotions right now because you're in the grip of some rebellious feelings that demand to be expressed. But try to limit the damage as much as possible.
Introduce plenty of variety into your day, otherwise life will start to take on a rather stale and sluggish quality. Once this happens you'll do almost anything to liven things up again, which might mean stirring up trouble. It will be far better to skip your usual routine and have a change of scene, preferably involving some exercise so you can burn up any excess nervous energy.
You are absolutely determined to remind a certain person that you're an individual in your own right and that you want the freedom to be able to do your own thing. You'll cut up rough if you think you're being restricted in some way, especially by someone else's expectations or worldly responsibilities that have been put on your shoulders. You're longing to rebel, but be careful how you do this. You don't want to give yourself a bad name.
If you get fed up with being thought of as a placid or pragmatic Taurean, you'll jump at the chance to show a different side to your personality today. In fact, the more you suspect that you've been put into a pigeon hole by other people, the more you'll want to do things that make them sit up and take notice. It's a question of how outrageous you dare to be!
You're in a competitive and adventurous mood today, making you keen to get involved in all sorts of interesting activities. You could even be inspired to do something for the first time, especially if it presents you with a bit of a challenge. Although you'll enjoy feeling your adrenalin racing around your veins, don't do anything totally rash or foolhardy.
You're in a very dynamic mood today, so you're approaching everything with plenty of zip and enthusiasm. It's an especially good day for getting other people involved in your own projects because you'll soon be able to advertise the merits of what you're doing. However, it's important that you know when to try to persuade someone into doing what you want and when it would be better to hold back and not push them any further.
Is it your imagination, or is a colleague coasting along and hoping you'll cover for them? There may be a good reason for this, but that doesn't mean you have to like it. On the other hand, you might be the one who's trying to do as little as possible and who is desperately hoping you won't be caught out.
Your partner is being very affectionate and loving today, which makes you feel great. However, the situation could quickly alter if you can't spare as much time or energy for this person as they would like. They might start to feel neglected, or accuse of you having more important things to do with your time. Do your best to pacify them and to explain what's going on.
You're in a dynamic and go-getting mood today, and you won't want to feel that the grass is growing under your feet. Far from it! You'll be a real live wire if you're busy at work, and you'll attract some admiring glances from people who are very impressed by your energy and enthusiasm. If you've been thinking about applying for promotion you may decide to go ahead now.
Your emotions have the upper hand today, influencing your actions and speech. As a result, you could get quite heated over things that mean a lot to you. Try to be aware of a possible tendency to try to get your own way or to believe that your needs should be satisfied before anyone else's. If you can control such impulses then all will be well and it will be a good day.
This is a really good day for dealing with anything that's been on your conscience recently. It will be a huge relief to take some constructive action at long last, and it will also go better than you might have imagined. You have quite a lot of energy right now and you'll enjoy using up some of it in domestic chores, such as doing some cleaning or gardening.
You're ready to throw yourself into your social life at every opportunity today. It's great for casting caution to the winds and doing something a little bit daring, provided you don't actually risk life and limb. If you've been hoping to catch the eye of a certain person and drive them into a frenzy of desire for you, launch stage one of your fiendish plan now. Good luck!
If you're supposed to be counting the calories at the moment or not allowing a morsel of fat to pass your lips, you'll struggle to keep to your resolve today. That's because you'll be very tempted by all those treats that are currently forbidden, especially if you feel in need of some emotional comfort. Giving someone a hug or listening to music will be better than raiding the cake tin.
A certain person is never far from your thoughts today, and after a while you'll long to see them. If they live a long way away, you'll have a tendency to dream about them or to look through old photos so you can see their face. If they're close by, you'll want to get together with them and could get quite huffy if they aren't available or they've got other fish to fry. Take it easy!
This is a great day for talking about your feelings and allowing loved ones to do the same in return. Look on it as the chance to get things out into the open, particularly if they've had a tendency to be swept under the carpet or to provoke arguments. The more honest and open you can be now, the better for everyone concerned.
An older woman is feeling emotional and might even become overwrought at some point today. As a result, you'll feel you've got to tiptoe around her to avoid a scene. But maybe all she really needs is a big hug or some kind words. Try to oblige, even if she isn't exactly your favourite person or you're getting fed up with what you see as her histrionics. What will it cost you, anyway?
Mind your Ps and Qs over the next few days because there's a strong chance that you'll accidentally say the wrong thing or send out the wrong signals. Misunderstandings will be rife, and there could also be other communications glitches such as letters that get mislaid, phone calls that aren't answered and gadgets that go on the blink. If you've got to write an important letter, it might be wise to delay it until 2 September when things get back to normal.
Take care of yourself during the next three weeks because you'll have a distinct tendency to skimp on your food and sleep. You may have so much work to do that it's difficult to find time for much else, but allowing your energy to run down will eventually make you less efficient and also mean that everything takes longer than it should. You are no good to anyone if you don't look after you first.
During the next few days it will be hard to make yourself understood when communicating with partners. With crossed wires, double-talk or total misunderstandings, the situation won't sort itself out again until after September 2. Therefore, during this short phase, avoid getting drawn into discussions as they could easily go pear-shaped.
This promises to be one of the most enjoyable and satisfying days, thanks to an optimism washing over you in great waves at the moment. You're on to something exciting and can't wait to carry on with it. If you collect a particular item, such as stamps or teapots, you might find another piece to add to your collection now.
If travel arrangements have recently become snaggled, now is the perfect time to sort things out. In the meantime, you may have changed your mind about some aspects of your plans, such as deciding to use a different airline or visit another destination. You may even decide that you're thankful for the delays!
The next couple of weeks are an ideal time to give some thought to your career and anything else that boosts your self-esteem. If your ego has taken quite a hammering lately, now's the time to consider how you can raise it again. You'll also excel at speaking in public and taking charge of large groups of people.
Children will be even more playful than usual until early September so you have to keep an eye on them. Make sure they've got plenty to occupy their active brains, otherwise they might get into trouble. Older loved ones could also be up to a few pranks, such as playing practical jokes on you or teasing you at every opportunity. You'll want to give as good as you get!
The coming couple of weeks are ideal for thinking about your hopes and plans for the future, especially if you want to start mapping out your strategy. You'll enjoy grappling with a few mental challenges, too, so won't be too fazed if some of your plans don't seem to add up at first. Activities with an intellectual slant will also appeal to you now.
Do some hard thinking between now and the end of August. Ideally, you should re-evaluate decisions that you've taken recently and make sure that you're happy about them. Once you've done that, you can extend your thoughts to the past and reflect on some of the things that have happened to you in your life. You may get an entirely new perspective on them as a result.
During the next few days it will be almost impossible to avoid mix-ups and muddles, but try not to make the situation worse than ever by being unclear about what you mean. For instance, if you don't want to do something it would be better to say so loud and clear than to hedge your bets and pretend that you might be persuaded to change your mind later on.
Ideally, you should get all dressed up and then head for the nearest social event because that's exactly what you're in the mood for today. You're feeling very convivial and outgoing, whether you're with people that you know like the back of your hand or total strangers. If you've recently moved house, you might meet one of your new neighbours and quickly turn them into a friend.
Between now and the start of September you should think carefully about any family or domestic plans that are currently in the pipeline. Unforeseen snags could crop up, forcing you to re-evaluate your ideas and possibly even come up with some different solutions. Alternatively, projects may go cold for the time being and you'll just have to be patient.
Do you believe in telepathy? If not, you soon will because it's working strongly for you right now. For instance, you might be thinking about someone only to have them ring up a minute later, or you and a loved one might both start talking about the same thing at the same time. If distance separates you from a certain person, you may feel their presence as though they were standing next to you.
You need to take things gently today, especially if you're expected to get through a stack of work. It isn't what you're in the mood for, and you may struggle to concentrate after a while. It will help to have plenty of short breaks by yourself, so you can recharge your batteries and enjoy a little peace and quiet before re-entering the fray.
Friends are considerate, sympathetic and on exactly the same wavelength as you. This is a lovely day for relaxing with a favourite hobby or leisure pursuit, whether you do it in tandem with others or enjoy it on your own. It will do you good to forget about everything else in your life for a while.
Is something worrying you? If an anxiety is nagging away at you, it won't leave you alone until you've done something about it. This may require some boldness, especially if you have to admit to yourself that something is wrong. But the more you try to push something to the back of your mind, the more it will dominate your thoughts.
Keep an eye open for anyone who's struggling at the moment and could do with a helping hand. This might be a neighbour who's having a bad time and who would appreciate it if you could do their shopping for them, or a close relative who's feeling lonely and would be thrilled if you gave them a ring. Do this with a glad heart and a big smile, so they needn't worry about being a nuisance.
You need some gentle escapism today, especially if that means staying at home and having some time to yourself. You might decide to curl up on the sofa with a good book and a bar of chocolate, or to listen to some favourite music while lying in the bath. You could also be tempted to buy yourself something that makes you feel safe and contented.
Get a grip on your emotions today before they get a grip on you. You're feeling things very intensely and will have a tendency to get in a state about anything that upsets you or which triggers painful memories from the past. You might also get very wound up about a domestic matter that you'd usually shrug off. Try not to turn it into a full-blown saga if it doesn't deserve it.
Spend time with some of your favourite people today because you'll get even more pleasure from their company than usual. You don't have to do anything special either, because simply being together will be enough. You'll also enjoy expressing some of your creative abilities, and this will help you to get rid of any pent-up emotions that are currently bothering you.
If you're a typical Cancerian you have a very big heart and it's much in evidence today. You might decide to tuck someone under your wing or give them a hug because you know they're going through a bad time. You're also prepared to listen to their tale of woe without taking sides or giving them unsolicited advice, and they'll be everlastingly grateful to you.
The emotional temperature is climbing today, leading to a rather intense hot-house atmosphere. A partner might get a bee in their bonnet about something, making them determined to bang on about it for as long as possible and probably to make you feel wretched about it at the same time. Try to handle the situation with grace and understanding.
Still waters run deep today, so even if a loved one isn't saying much it doesn't mean that they're impervious to what's going on around them. You can bet that they're taking it all in, and probably getting into a bit of a state about it. If you suspect that someone is brooding, it's a good idea to encourage them to talk about what's on their mind, even if it makes uncomfortable listening.
It will do you good to spend time with a kindred spirit now. You'll enjoy talking about subjects that mean a lot to both of you, particularly if they have spiritual or philosophical overtones. Conversations like this will help to bring the two of you closer together. If you haven't heard recently from a friend who lives far away, make contact with them now to check that they're okay.
If you want to get on with your work today and you're surrounded by other people, you'd better wear some ear-plugs. Otherwise, you're likely to be distracted by a lot of chatter and gossip. Do your best to confine these chats to your breaks or lunch-hour. When you are able to work you'll find it easy to put your thoughts down on paper, so get writing.
Tensions are building up between you and a certain person today, leading to some sticky moments. If you've been desperately trying to swallow your irritation with this person, that could go by the wayside now when you finally erupt in a big show of anger. It will certainly be better to blow your top than to simmer any longer, but don't let things get out of control.
A typical Aquarian can't bear people who are possessive or jealous, so you'll take a dim view of a certain person's current behaviour. Are they demanding that you spend all your spare time with them? Or do they keep questioning you about your movements whenever you're out of their sight. Put your foot down, and establish boundaries!
Open your mind to all sorts of new possibilities, or you'll miss out on many exciting experiences. The prospect of long-distance travel could appeal now, or you might consider enrolling in a college course that starts next term. You're full of curiosity about the world and you won't be satisfied unless you can find out as much about it as possible.
This is a great day for talking to someone who has the sort of wisdom, experience and knowledge that you really admire. This might be your boss, some other authority figure, an older relative, or anyone else who you feel is your mentor. They could give you some helpful hints, point you in the right direction or simply listen as you pour your heart out.
This is a fantastic day for getting involved in mind-stretching conversations that encourage you to take a wider view of the world. Once you get started you won't want to stop, especially if you're talking to people who stir up your imagination and who are prepared to listen to your views. You'll also have fun if you can meet a chum for a good old natter.
This is an excellent day for talking about things that are dear to your heart or which you normally like to keep secret. You'll be choosy about who you talk to, because you'll have to feel that you trust them. If someone wants to confide in you, make sure that you can keep their secrets. If you can't it might be better to suggest that they talk to someone else.
What a chatterbox! I'm talking about you, by the way. You're reluctant to draw breath today and will thoroughly enjoy nattering away about whatever pops into your head. However, you'll have to be considerate about this and not hog the conversation if it's perfectly obvious that your companion is bursting with things to tell you. A little give and take is needed.
If you're currently having a clash with someone over what both of you deem to be most important in life, try to talk it through now. There will be plenty to get off your chest but you must allow the other person to get a word in edgeways too, otherwise they'll soon add that to their list of complaints.
Let's face it, you could talk the hind leg off a donkey or the ears off your best friend today. You've got plenty to say and you'll jump at the chance to get it off your chest. You may have a burning desire to impart some fascinating news, but try not to hog the conversation completely so that everyone else has no choice but to listen or to walk away. If you aren't careful, they'll do the latter through sheer boredom. Not good news.
Gather some of your loved ones around you and talk to them. You're in the mood for some clever conversation, although that might be rather difficult if certain people get their own way and manage to hog the limelight. You might also have more visitors or phone calls than usual, so get set for a day full of pleasant interruptions and little incidents.
There's nothing you'll like better today than having a good old natter with whoever happens to be around. Ideally, you should get together with someone who makes your world go round and then chat away about whatever pops into your head. If you meet someone new now you'll share a relationship in which communications are highlighted for some reason.
Life will be very pleasant and enjoyable during the next four weeks, with plenty of things to keep you amused. Much to your delight, there will be times when you're the centre of everyone's affection, which will do wonders for your ego. The atmosphere between you and your favourite people will be even sweeter than usual, so there's a lot to look forward to.
Your sense of identity will be strongly coloured by the state of your relationships during the next four weeks. If you feel lonely or on the shelf, you'll think that this reflects badly on you and you'll want to do something about it. It will certainly be an excellent time for any sort of teamwork, because you'll do your utmost to make sure you pull your weight.
Close relationships will be even more important to you than usual during the next four weeks. Put extra effort into your relationship with your partner, especially if you've been together for so long that you have a tendency to take one another for granted. If you're single, you could soon become heavily involved in a relationship that seems fated in some way. Perhaps you were meant to be together?
Your horizons are widening, but the question is how brave do you feel about exploring them? You've already faced some exciting opportunities and there are more on the way, but they won't be much good to you if you can't muster the courage to make the most of them. Take things one step at a time, it's much less daunting.
You've been doing a lot of hard work recently, and you may have started to despair that you'd ever get anywhere with it. Well, don't worry because your ship could come in during the next four weeks. That's if you've done your job properly, of course. If you've been getting by with the minimum effort and covering up all your careless mistakes, you could soon be found out. But if you've done your very best, you'll have nothing to worry about.
Friends will play a big role in your life during the next four weeks, so make sure you've got plenty of time for them. Maybe you should get out your diary and start making lots of dates and arrangements, especially if you haven't seen much of certain chums recently. This is also the perfect opportunity to increase your social circle if it's looking a bit thin, so consider joining a group or organization that might contain some possible friends.
During the next four weeks there will be times when you long to be left to your own devices. That's because you'll be feeling quite solitary and contemplative, and you won't want to make the effort to be sociable. You may have to explain these phases to your nearest and dearest, so they don't think you've suddenly gone off them or that you've got something to hide.
Your self-confidence rises by several notches from today and continues to ride high during the coming four weeks. This will be a fantastic chance to push ahead with projects that will increase your self-esteem and teach you more about your abilities. As a Virgo you have an innate tendency to do yourself down, but right now you need to remind yourself how wonderful you are. And that's an order!
During the next four weeks there will be occasions when you'll be very interested in the value of things. This might be the spiritual value of a belief or activity that gives extra meaning to each day, or it could be the monetary value of your possessions. Although this is a good time to concentrate on your finances, don't do it to the exclusion of all else, or judge people purely by what they do or don't own.
Now you'll enjoy improving the way you communicate with others, as the blazing Sun dives into Virgo and your third house of communications and creativity. Why not invest in a new program or upgrade your computer, boost your mobile phone or simply treat yourself to some writing paper and a book of stamps. Take more trouble with the way you express yourself, especially if you sometimes give people the wrong impression.
During the next four weeks you'll want to devote plenty of time to your home and family. You may also be surprisingly reluctant to stray too far from your own front door, but that's exactly as it should be right now because you're in the mood for familiar faces and places. Anything or anyone that offers comfort and emotional security will be all right by you.
Life has been good fun recently but from today you realize that you've got to start paying more attention to your work. Boring! Or is it? It doesn't have to be, especially if you're prepared to put your heart and soul into your job. If the thought of that is laughable in the extreme, then maybe this is your chance to start looking for a job that offers you better prospects or more satisfaction.
There's a lot of pleasure to be gained from getting on with domestic and other routine chores today. You'll enjoy gradually ticking them all off your list of things to do, and you'll also take trouble with them so you do them to the best of your ability. If you can spare the time you'll enjoy pottering about in the kitchen or throwing out old belongings you no longer need.
It's a good day for taking care of everyday chores and practical tasks, in order to ensure that your life will run as smoothly as possible. You might want to do some filing, so that you can lay your hands on important paperwork whenever you need it instead of scrabbling around in drawers while being assailed by waves of panic. So get organized, and feel proud of yourself for doing so!
You're much more positive and upbeat today, thank goodness. Spread your cheerfulness as far as possible by mixing with lots of different people. If you're feeling fed up with your current surroundings visit somewhere completely different for a change, especially if you've never been there before.
It's a good day to discuss topics connected with bureaucracy, important financial matters and your long-term goals. Seek out a sounding board, and listen carefully to what is said on the subject. If you've got to concentrate on some important paperwork, you'll get on with it much better if you can do it in private and away from any distractions.
If this is a free day, try to get away from it all for a short while. You might decide to jump in the car, or on the train, and have a mystery tour. It will certainly go you a lot of good to get out and about, and preferably to visit somewhere for the first time. If it's steeped in history or culture, then so much the better.
If you're currently grappling with a problem or you need to unburden your soul, cast about for a suitable confidant today. Once you've found them, it will be a great relief to be able to tell them what's wrong. Even if they can't wave a magic wand and make everything OK again, you'll feel so much better for having shared your thoughts with them.
Give yourself some light relief today, whether that means going out with friends, attending a big social event or losing yourself in a favourite hobby. You're about to enter a more reflective phase now, so make the most of this chance to kick up your heels and make merry. You might make a new chum along the way, which will be a bonus.
If you're visiting the shops today you'll be very tempted to buy yourself some little treats. Now, before you get carried away you should read this: they don't have to cost a fortune. So remember that when your hand strays to the most expensive item in the shop or you start to convince yourself that your life won't be worth living without that extremely expensive sweater. Hold it!
Keep on the move today because you'll enjoy making contact with lots of different people. What's more, being active will help to stave off any hint of restlessness or boredom that might otherwise steal over you. If you're going shopping it will be fun to take someone with you for company or to arrange to meet them afterwards for a drink or a meal.
If you need to cheer yourself up after yesterday's miserable mood, a little retail therapy won't go amiss. You'll especially enjoy looking for items that will brighten up your home or turn your kitchen into a 21st-century temple of efficiency. If you're feeling broke at the moment, you'll have to restrict yourself to snapping up bargains at the grocers or the supermarket. Oh well!
It's a day for making the most of your social life, and you won't have to stray far afield in order to do so. You'll enjoy taking part in a local event or neighbourhood activity, and will do your best to make the whole thing go with a swing. If you haven't spoken to one of your favourite people lately, pick up the phone or send them an email to let them know you're thinking of them.
Put on your best clothes and make a beeline for the nearest social event or party. It's exactly what you're in the mood for and you'll be on sparkling form. This is just what you need if you're hoping to woo a certain person with your charms so they fall in a breathless heap at your feet. Both you and I know that they'd be a fool to resist you when you're in this sort of mood.
Why the long face? You're feeling rather downcast and lacklustre right now, and everything seems to involve too much effort. Do your best to face up to whatever is wrong, and also to view it in a rational light. That's because it is highly likely that you're making mountains out of molehills, and allowing even minor snags to get you down. A short break might help.
The emotional temperature is below par today, so you're feeling chilly and rather sorry for yourself. Maybe a loved one is annoyed with you for some reason and they're taking it out on you by withdrawing their affection or being rather aloof. Yet you may also be sending out signals that make others want to retreat in self-defence, even if you aren't aware of what you're doing.
Have you really got the cares of the world on your shoulders? Maybe you've got to plough your way through acres of work, and you don't know how you're going to do it. Perhaps you're feeling tired and defeated. If even the smallest task seems beyond you, don't lose heart. Holiday plans can be restructured, if a snag arises.
Someone is looking at life through very serious eyes today, which won't exactly make them a barrel of laughs. You may even suspect that they're taking some sort of perverse pleasure from being such an old misery. If you aren't careful, you might start to behave in the same way because this mood is infectious. Do your best to resist it.
A conversation with a friend is really interesting today. You'll enjoy talking about things in depth, and you may even learn new things about one another. Grab the chance to clear up any difficulties with someone before they get any worse, even if this means giving them your abject apologies. Right now you'd rather speak from the heart than say something insincere.
Examine all your appliances today and make sure that they're in good working order. It might be a good idea to check that your car is behaving itself or that your computer hasn't developed any strange glitches. If you find that something's wrong, either get it mended or replaced as soon as possible because you're bound to need it again soon.
A social event could end in disappointment today. It might not be nearly as much fun as you'd hoped, or someone who's essential to your enjoyment can't be there. There could also be delays in getting things off the ground, or maybe you simply aren't in a sociable mood. Try not to see all this as a total disaster, and be philosophical about what happens.
You're taking a serious view of life today and have a tendency to worry about all sorts of things. Try not to keep these thoughts to yourself because they will only depress you and make you believe that things are worse than they really are. Instead, either confide in someone you trust or pour everything out on paper. You'll soon feel better.
Your domestic life leaves something to be desired today, thanks to the low-key atmosphere. Maybe someone is feeling depressed and their mood is affecting everyone they meet, or perhaps you're the one who's down in the dumps. Either way, you won't help the situation by brooding on it, feeling sorry for yourself or taking out your feelings on whoever happens to be around.
If you ask someone's advice, be prepared for them to sound positively gloomy. They're taking the worst possible view of everything and will quickly infect you with their miserable view of the world. This isn't a good day to spend money because you'll suffer awful pangs of guilt afterwards, even if you know full well that you can afford to have a splurge.
You've got a lot on your plate today and it's getting you down. This could have an impact on your health, making you feel tired or lethargic, and possibly even making you susceptible to any germs that happen to be flying about. If you're really struggling to get everything done in time you may have to ask for help or accept that you can't work miracles and something's got to give.
Someone tries your patience today when they behave like a boring old fuddy-duddy or they persist in being as doom-laden as possible. For instance, you'll offer them a biscuit and they'll give you a lecture on saturated fats, or you'll mention your plans for the house and they'll suck their teeth and look doubtful. Let them get on with it but don't be affected by it.
A friend is prone to some very erratic thinking today, so there's no knowing what they're going to say or do next. You may even suspect that they're taking a perverse delight in keeping you on your toes or being rather contrary. Try not to take what they say as gospel in case they're talking complete nonsense.
It's one of those days when you'll have to anchor your eyebrows with heavy weights to avoid them going into orbit when you hear what some people are saying. They may be spouting complete nonsense, as far as you're concerned, or being so futuristic that you feel you're in the middle of a science fiction film. Try to listen to what they say with an open mind, because there's a chance that you're being reactionary and a bit of a stick-in-the-mud. Yes, you!
Treat money matters with extreme caution. Maybe you're being given conflicting advice, or you suspect that someone hasn't got a clue. If you hear some surprising, even shocking news about your finances, query it in case you've been given the wrong information or someone has made a massive mistake.
What is going on today? There is too much information, or perhaps you keep being interrupted by visitors, phone calls and e-mails. A sense of controlled chaos will soon start to play on your nerves. Try to keep calm and not get rattled.
It's difficult to keep track of what you're doing today because your thoughts are flying in all directions. At times it will be almost impossible to concentrate for long, which is bad news if you're supposed to be doing something that's very detailed or complicated. Ideally, you should postpone it until another day when you're able to do it, and yourself, justice.
Once again you're in a feisty and rebellious mood. This is making you outspoken and defiant, and it won't go down very well. If you need to stand up to someone or speak your mind, then so be it, but try not to say things that are deliberately calculated to shock. If you aren't the one who's behaving like this, it will be a loved one and you'll wonder how to handle them for the best.
Everything seems to be happening at once today. There could be lots of distractions that you've got to cope with, important pieces of paper might go astray or you may have to deal with an appliance that refuses to behave itself. All this is likely to make you want to tear your hair out with frustration unless you can somehow distance yourself from all this mayhem and keep calm.
It's difficult to keep track of all the ideas that are shooting through your head today, and the situation won't be improved by the tendency of everyone around you to all talk at once. It seems a bit like a free-for-all, with everyone wanting to have their say regardless of who else is speaking at the time. This will frazzle your nerves in no time at all if you let it get to you.
Once again you're being enticed to throw caution to the winds and do something reckless. You might be tempted if you're worried about being seen to be a killjoy or stick-in-the-mud, but once again there are compelling reasons why you should avoid doing whatever is currently being suggested to you. Better to be derided as a scaredy cat now than as a complete fool later.
Someone is giving you far too much information today, making it very difficult to process what you're being told. Maybe this person is barely pausing for breath, so everything comes out in a never-ending stream of consciousness. You'll also encounter someone who's making outrageous comments that are designed to wind you up. Will you rise to the bait or manage to remain cool, calm and collected?
It's another day when people are being wayward, awkward and laws unto themselves. Today you've got to listen to someone who's spouting complete drivel as far as you can make out. The trouble is that they don't want to know what you think, and may even be quite rude about it. To save your sanity, give yourself a complete change of scene until you've both calmed down.
Steady! A certain person has the uncanny ability of being able to wind you up like a spring today, and they may not even need to use words since their body language or general behaviour will be just as controversial. Before you completely lose your cool, ask yourself why they're determined to get you to rise to the bait and then don't give them the satisfaction of watching it happen.
Someone dear to your heart has a habit of shooting from the hip and saying whatever pops into their head today. As a result you could hear some rather uncomfortable home truths, and this person won't seem to care what effect their words have on you. Don't they have any consideration for a person's feelings? Not at the moment, it seems. But maybe it's something you should listen to, all the same.
Are you feeling brave Aries? If so, you'll have no qualms about standing up to someone who's in a very vociferous and opinionated mood. You might have quite a ding-dong, with neither of you prepared to concede an inch. You can't change the other person's attitude but you can do something about your own, especially if you're in danger of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
It won't take much to get you rather hot under the collar today, which will lead to a tendency to make unfortunate comments in the heat of the moment. Your mouth is working faster than your brain right now, so watch out or it will have some disastrous consequences. Even so, you may say things on the spur of the moment that need to be said, even if you do drop a brick in the process.
A certain someone is extremely headstrong and wilful, and it seems they're determined to prove a point even if they create havoc in the process. Treat this person with extreme caution, because they believe that the ends justify the means. Don't get involved in any financial transactions with them because they aren't acting rationally.
Someone has very strong opinions and you'll soon hear all about them, because they seem unable to keep them to themselves. Expect to be treated to their views on all sorts of topics. Be careful at this point because this person is so wedded to their beliefs that you won't be popular if you fail to validate them. Yet you aren't prepared to lie, either. It's going to be a lively conversation!
Kick up your heels and cut loose today, even if it makes you unpopular. You're gripped by such a strong desire for independence, you don't care how you achieve it. Hang on.... you don't really want to spoil everything that you've worked for with headstrong displays of temperament do you? Find another way.
You're in a very rash and impulsive mood today, which isn't good news if you're supposed to be toeing the line or behaving yourself. Rather than live up to someone's high expectations of you, you may deliberately do something that raises their eyebrows or which shows you in a bad light. What's going on? If you want to rebel, and it seems that you do, try to do it in constructive ways.
It's a strange day because there's a lot you want to say, but there may be reasons why you feel you have to stay silent. Perhaps you're worried about hurting someone's feelings if you blurt out your thoughts, and that's certainly possible now. You might also accidentally reveal more than you intended if you speak without thinking it through first. So be careful!
To say that a certain person is being strongwilled is a huge understatement. They seem determined to get their own way, even if this causes tremendous upheaval or sets everyone else against them. It's a waste of breath telling them what you think, and it seems that the only way they can learn from this experience is to reap the results of their actions. Stand by!
Someone is being very impetuous and daring today, and they're dead keen for you to join in. But should you do this? Although they'll do their best to encourage you, probably by minimizing the disadvantages and emphasizing the benefits, you should be wary of getting involved in anything risky, illegal or likely to cost you an arm and a leg. There is too much at stake.
Someone is determined to go their own way today and there doesn't seem to be much you can do about it. Actually, the more you try to persuade them against taking their current approach the keener they will be to prove their point. This means that even if you think this person is making a grave mistake, you'd be wise to keep your opinions to yourself for the time being.
A loved one seems to be operating much faster than usual. They may be talking nineteen to the dozen, so you can barely keep up with what they're saying, and their thought processes have also been speeded up. This will be fun but unfortunately it may also mean that they soon start to get impatient if they think you're lagging behind. Try to keep the atmosphere light-hearted to avoid things degenerating into a row.
You're able to blend caution with optimism today, particularly when considering some of your long-term hopes and wishes. You'll know which ideas are worth pursuing and which will never see the light of day. A friend is a terrific support right now, and you'll realize how lucky you are to have them in your life. Maybe you should say so?
If you want to make things happen or move a project one step closer to completion, roll up your sleeves and give it your best shot now. You're feeling sure-footed and confident, and this will carry you through any sticky patches that might crop up. Things will also go well if you're in the throes of buying or selling your home, with people being surprisingly co-operative.
You're in a very realistic and sensible mood today, yet you won't be so wedded to commonsense that you become stuffy or hidebound. Instead, you're able to combine a practical approach with an ability to look on the bright side of things and be positive about your future prospects. A relationship will flourish as a result of your marvellous attitude.
You're ultra efficient and practical today, which is great if you're at work or you're busy with some important financial business. Stay aware of your limitations, but don't feel stymied or restricted because you'll manage to operate within them perfectly well. If you're going to a job interview you'll be really pleased with the way you handle it.
You're able to combine practicality with creativity today, and that will be a very constructive combination. You stand a good chance of achieving whatever you set out to do, especially if you're relying on other people to give you their support or co-operate in some way. A relationship will also flourish now because you're both putting so much effort into it.
You've certainly got your head screwed on the right way today, in good Capricorn fashion. It's easier to think things through carefully, and also to keep your mind firmly focused on what you can and can't do. It's an excellent day for making careful decisions connected with religion, education, travel or the law, especially if you discuss your ideas with someone else first.
You've certainly got your head screwed on the right way today, so make the most of it while it lasts. Your thoughts are running along very practical lines, yet you aren't averse to some positive thinking when you consider it's necessary. You'll score a resounding success if you're taking part in a discussion or negotiation today, because you'll know when to speak up and when to maintain a tactical silence.
You're blessed with a very practical approach to life today, particularly when it comes to anything connected with your home or finances. And if you can combine the two in some way then you'll really strike it lucky. If you're currently involved in a property deal, things will go in your favour and you might even end up much better off.
You're very sure about what you're doing today, which gives you an air of efficiency and competence. This is just what you need if you're hoping to impress a boss with your prowess or self-confidence. It's an excellent day for making your money work for you, perhaps by sinking it in a rock-solid investment or putting it into a venture that will boost your reputation. But don't take unnecessary risks with it.
This is a terrific day for brainstorming with other like-minded individuals and hatching some plans. You'll be happy to take a chance when necessary yet you'll avoid anything that seems too risky or which is more like an impossible dream than a realistic goal. You may also get a very good idea of who your friends are now, and of who you can count on.
You strike a good balance between reality and optimism today, so it's a brilliant chance to make plans and lay the foundations for future projects. You're also full of common sense without it turning you into a stick-in-the-mud. You'll do well if you can work by yourself for a while, because that will help your mind to focus on whatever is most important at the moment.
This is a terrific day for making some practical decisions connected with your finances. You know what you want to achieve, but you won't do anything rash and you'll know when to stop. It's also a good opportunity to make a serious investment in something that will bring you a good return over the years, although you may want to keep it under your hat for the time being.

Don't be too complacent about your chances of success because things won't automatically land in your lap without any effort on your part. Being prepared to take the initiative or venture down a new path every now and then will be a very wise move.
Your emotional, physical and spiritual welfare are highlighted by today's New Moon, so concentrate on them as much as possible during the next two weeks. If you're involved in a situation that is making you feel ill, or draining your energy, you now need to do something about it. This will also be a good time to begin a new health regime.
If you've been wondering when to have a family pow-wow about something, this is a great day for it. Everyone concerned is in a considerate and tactful mood, which is a major bonus for a start, and they're also interested in talking about whatever's on the agenda. You'll manage to choose your words with care so you can avoid treading on any toes or ruffling any feathers.
You're blessed with a great deal of tact and diplomacy today, so put it to good use. It's the ideal opportunity to smooth over any problems that have emerged with a certain person recently, and you may even manage to eradicate them completely now simply by choosing your words carefully and, if necessary, admitting that you were in the wrong.
It's a super day for talking to other people, whether they're colleagues, friends or an intimate partner. You'll enjoy sharing your ideas with one another, and if this leads to a discussion you'll manage to have a considerate and courteous debate. This is also an excellent day for talking about topics that are very dear to your heart, or which are preying on your mind.
This is a fabulous day to take part in a discussion or serious conversation. You'll have plenty to say for yourself, but encourage everyone else to have their say too. You're interested in knowing about other beliefs and ways of life, especially if you're getting them straight from the horse's mouth.
The best way to get someone on your side is to talk to them. Draw them out of their shell, so you get a better idea of who they are and what they like. This will be good advice whether you're chatting to an older relative at home or trying to keep on the right side of a boss at work. It's also a good day for discussing your goals with someone who knows you very well.
This is one of those uplifting days in which you want to concentrate on what draws you close to other people rather than what separates you. It's especially good for talking to someone who comes from another background or culture to yours, because you'll be interested in sharing your experiences and finding out how much you have in common despite your apparent differences.
If someone's looking for a confidant, you'll be their natural choice. This might surprise you, especially if you hold them in high esteem or you can't imagine them ever having any problems. Well, right now they need to talk to you and you'll want to do what you can to help. Make sure you listen carefully and don't be too hasty about reaching conclusions or arriving at quick-fix solutions.
You have the happy knack of being able to say and do exactly the right thing today, particularly when you're with friends. You'll be charming, tactful and great company. This is just what you need if you're hoping to turn someone's head or make them realize that they can't live without you. If you're involved in a group activity you might be asked to take the lead now.
Seize the opportunity of an in-depth conversation with someone who's on your wavelength. You'll enjoy talking to them, and possibly even sharing some secrets with them. If you're hoping that this person thinks of you as more than just a friend, you'll get a good idea now of whether you're barking up the wrong tree or they reciprocate your feelings.
You're blessed with charm and discretion today, so it's the perfect opportunity to discuss anything that requires a gentle touch. You should manage to navigate your way around any conversational difficulties with no trouble at all. Things may even go so well with a certain person that you'll wonder why you haven't tackled them before now, and will marvel that you were worried about doing so.
Concentrate on your priorities in life today, because they'll make you feel good. They will also remind you that there is more to life than hard grind and problems. After all, you've had a very difficult couple of months and you're overdue for some light relief. Pamper yourself in some way and your cares will vanish for the time being.
The best way to get on well with someone now is to spend time talking to them. If you can't see them in person, give them a ring or write them a letter so they know you're thinking about them. Any form of discussion will go smoothly now, so it's a good opportunity to bring up any difficult topics you've been avoiding.
There are three things you're after today - enjoyment, love and laughter. As a result, you'll want to steer clear of anything that smacks of hard work, drudgery or duty. It's a lovely day for being with some of your favourite people, perhaps sharing a meal or a having a drink together. A trip to a beauty spot or the cinema will also appeal to you now.
If you spend too much time alone today you'll soon feel as though something crucial is missing from your life, and you'll be right. It will be people who are missing, because this isn't a day for being by yourself if you can possibly help it. However, you may have to fight against a slight tendency to cling to others or to seem too dependent on them.
It's a highly emotional mood, although you won't want to advertise the fact. You might even want to keep your feelings to yourself, or only confide in someone you trust completely. If you start to suspect someone's motives, you could soon allow your imagination to run riot and create all sorts of terrible possibilities that aren't true.
Do yourself a favour and abandon your usual Saturday routine. Do something totally different instead. It's exactly what you're in the mood for and you'll have some fun in the process. If you have to carry on with your usual schedule, approach it from a different angle or introduce some fun elements in order to relieve any potential boredom or staleness.
You have a strong need to be in the limelight today. It's not that you necessarily want to occupy centre-stage all day long, but you definitely want to be noticed. Actually, if you do find that you've been sidelined or ignored, you'll manage to come up with some strategy or other that draws attention to you, even if you're not aware that you're doing it.
Get together with friends at some point today because you'll really enjoy their company. It's good to be with people who are on the same wavelength as you and with whom you have plenty of things in common. Something else that you'll enjoy now is being busy with a leisure pursuit that drives all other thoughts out of your head.
At some point today, try to have a little time to yourself. You need some solitude and peace, even if the only way to get it is to lock yourself in the bathroom or go for a long walk. There are certain things that you need to mull over, and you won't be able to do that properly if lots of other people are milling about. You might also enjoy doing some meditation or creative visualization.
You're wrapped up in your own feelings and needs today, making it difficult to switch off and think about anyone else for long. That's exactly the way it should be right now, although other people may not agree, especially if they want you to turn your attention to them. So you may have to tear your thoughts away from personal matters at some point.
This is a super day for assessing your values and priorities in life, and making sure that you're giving them enough of your attention. You won't be interested in simply passing the time with activities that don't mean much to you, and you'll also be reluctant to talk to people that you don't really care about. This may make you seem uncompromising, but so be it.
You'll be happiest if you can stay in a familiar environment today, such as your own neighbourhood. You'll enjoy chatting to the people you meet along the way, such as the person standing next to you in the supermarket queue or a fellow passenger on the bus. If you've got the time you'll enjoy catching up with your reading.
Right now you've got a hankering for anything and anyone that's cosy, familiar and unchallenging. You need all the emotional security you can get today, so you'll naturally gravitate towards people that you know inside out and will be slightly wary of meeting anyone for the first time. You might also want to do some serious comfort eating at some point.
You gain a lot of comfort from immersing yourself in your daily routine today. Sometimes it seems boring or restrictive, but right now it has a certain charm. Food will play a big part in your life, so consider buying something special to eat or cooking a delicious meal. If you're doing some entertaining, you'll probably make much more food than everyone can eat.
Some of the people in your life are very unpredictable today, and as a result social arrangements could face lots of disruptions. Do your best to go with the flow and to see where it takes you, because it could lead you in some highly enjoyable directions. You might also be strongly attracted to someone who isn't normally your cup of tea but who is definitely to your taste right now.
Love takes you by surprise today. It might even knock your socks off, so stand by for some interesting encounters. There's even a chance that you could meet someone new and be completely smitten by them, or become involved in a hectic flirtation which leaves you wondering what's going to happen next. It's certainly going to be a fun-filled and exciting day!
Are you worried that it's Friday the 13th? Well, you don't have to give it another thought because this promises to be a really enjoyable day. Mind you, you won't know what's going to happen next, which could be rather disconcerting if you're the sort of Aquarian who's wedded to your routine and who doesn't like it when it's disrupted by unexpected events. Go with the flow.
Someone has a surprise up their sleeve for you today, Capricorn. They might organize a treat for you on the spur of the moment or visit you when you weren't expecting it. If you're out and about, you could bump into the very person you were hoping to meet. There's also the chance of a delightfully flirtatious and light-hearted encounter with a certain person.
A loved one keeps you on your toes today. It's good fun and you'll enjoy not knowing what they're going to do next. They might make a suggestion that you have to think twice about before admitting that it's a good idea, or do something on the spur of the moment that completely brightens up your day. You might also have an unexpected but delightful visitor.
Don't worry about the inauspicious date because you're all set for a fabulous day. It's enjoyment, entertainment and excitement all the way this Friday, especially if you jump at the opportunities that come along. You might have a delightful flirtation with someone, or possibly even fall head over heels with someone who's too charismatic and intoxicating to resist.
There are some very pleasant surprises in store for you today, especially where your work is concerned. You might hit it off so well with a colleague or customer that it almost seems as though you're flirting with each other n and maybe you are! If a relationship gets off the ground today it will be fun-loving, unusual and very entertaining.
There's no need to worry about the unfortunate date because this looks like being a really enjoyable day. You could have a delicious surprise courtesy of a friend or loved one, or unexpected events might turn out to be exactly what you needed. If you meet someone new today you'll be dazzled and charmed by them, and could soon be swept off your feet into a hot affair with them. Wow!
Life is full of delicious surprises today, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. Your beloved might sweep you off your feet all over again or persuade you to do something daring together. If you're currently unattached, your heart might miss a beat when you clap eyes on someone who's never appealed to you in the past. But they'll really get you going at the moment.
Anything could happen today, so be prepared! You might meet someone who has an electrifying effect on you, even if they aren't your usual type. You might only have a mad flirtation with each other, or this could be the start of a long-term relationship that will teach you exciting things about yourself and introduce you to a world that you never knew existed.
There's no need to be superstitious about today's date because things will go really well. In fact, there could be some lovely surprises in store, especially if you've currently got your sights set on someone older, richer or more influential than you. You might also hear some unexpected good news about a financial matter that is working out to your advantage.
Don't panic - it's Friday the 13th but that's no reason to worry. In fact, you're all set for a really enjoyable day, even though there could be some surprising events along the way. At some point you might have an unexpected visitor or a loved one could drop a mini bombshell that catches you completely unawares.
You're in an incisive frame of mind, which is perfect for reaching decisions. Right now you have no desire to beat about the bush, nor to fudge the issue, and so you'll want to go straight to the heart of the matter. You'll use no-nonsense language, which some people might find uncompromising. Nevertheless, you have to speak as you find at the moment.
You have a lot of authority and self-command today, so you'll create a really good impression if you're taking charge of a group of people or doing something important at work. It's even better if you're taking part in an important meeting or job interview, because it will be obvious that you know exactly what you're doing.
You're filled with creative energy today, especially if you want to change situations for the better or make some radical alterations to an area of your life. This will be very exciting and you'll soon be looking around for other improvements that you can make. But don't get carried away and impose your ideas on others without consulting them first.
This is a marvellous day for making some powerful and long-lasting changes to your life, especially if these will affect your financial arrangements or a close relationship. Changes you make now are important and might therefore be rather daunting, but it will be liberating to take charge of situations that have worried you. Do something about them.
You're capable of making some very creative and exciting changes to your life today, Archers. How exhilarating to realize that you have much more control over your destiny than you might have imagined! Try to work with people rather than against them, and choose options that are for the good of everyone concerned and not just you.
If you're a typical Scorpio you're good at handling money. Well, this is certainly an excellent day for getting out your calculator and doing some sums. This might mean catching up with your accounts, paying bills or devising the budget for a forthcoming enterprise. You'll also do well if you're telling others how to spend their money wisely.
If you're holding grief or resentment from the past, this is a marvellous day for clearing some of it. It might be impossible to wipe the slate clean in one fell swoop but you'll have made a start and you might discover that it's easier than you imagined. The lift in your spirits and the relief at putting a difficult situation behind you will encourage you to carry on the good work.
Get cracking on creative projects today because they'll go really well. In fact, you could surprise yourself! Whatever you do now, you'll want to put your heart and soul into it so will feel cheated if you've got to do things that don't really matter to you. If this happens, make up for it in your spare time with activities that require your complete involvement.
Can you improve your working environment, making it more comfortable or attractive? Scrutinize it as much as possible today, taking note of any changes that can be easily made as well as those that will require more thought or trouble. If you work from home, you might want to repair or replace any appliance that has been playing up or has outlived its usefulness.
This is the perfect day for taking part in some form of negotiation or discussion because you're perfectly prepared to put your thoughts into words in whichever way will be most helpful and straightforward. Right now, you have no desire to hedge your bets or pull the wool over anyone's eyes, and you'll be very annoyed if they do this sort of thing to you.
The more understanding you can show towards a certain person, the better you'll get on with them now. Even if they're a bit of a mystery and you can't work them out, they'll appreciate the effort you're making to find out what makes them tick. You may never end up being bosom buddies but your present attitude will make them more sympathetic towards you.
The more open and receptive you are to what is going on around you, the more you'll learn now. If you're serious about making big changes to your life, another piece of the jigsaw will fall into place today, giving you a better idea of what to aim for in the future. There's a strong sense that destiny is holding you in its hand, yet you're also able to call a lot of the shots yourself.
Someone is in a very sentimental and nostalgic mood today, and you may end up having to placate them to avoid them going off the deep end or bursting into tears. If you're the one who's gazing at the past through rose-tinted spectacles, have a lovely, nostalgic wallow and then bring yourself back to the present. Above all, resist the temptation to rewrite history and make yourself believe things that never really happened.
Even though some of your relationships will be tricky during the next few weeks, you see no signs of that today. Instead, you're able to enjoy a wonderfully affectionate and happy rapport with some of the special people in your life. Make the most of it while it lasts! It's also a super day for doing something creative, such as sewing, dancing or painting.
Work? It's a four-letter word as far as you're concerned today. It's also one of the last things you want to dirty your hands with right now, although you may have to grit your teeth and get on with it, especially if a certain someone is breathing down your neck. It's a rough day if you're supposed to be on a diet, too, because you'll long to indulge in every forbidden food you can find.
You have such a strong desire to be with other people today that you'll feel as though something is missing if you spend too much time alone. If you're a solo Capricorn, you might start to brood about being on your own and wonder when you'll find Mr or Ms Right. They might be just around the corner but if they aren't you'll have to get your companionship from friends instead.
Are you battling with red tape at the moment, Sagittarius? Slice your way through it today by being direct and to the point. Get on the phone to someone who can help, or see them in person, and start negotiating. Treat them as a fellow human being rather than the enemy, and you'll see a big difference in their attitude towards you.
This is a super day for indulging yourself in some way, preferably by doing something you always enjoy or getting together with some special people. You're easily moved now and find a spiritual or mystical meaning in almost any event if it touches your heart. If you can spare the time, a trip to a museum or art gallery will make you feel good.
Play your cards right and you'll be able to form a strong emotional rapport with someone you admire and respect. If you're really lucky, they might tuck you under their wing or grant you some favours. It will help if you're polite to them but don't fall into the trap of buttering them up too much because that will make them wonder what you really want from them.
Ideally, you should keep busy today. It's exactly what you're in the mood for and you'll love being active. It's a really good day for arranging a forthcoming social event, especially if this requires a lot of energy or persistence. You may also have to put someone in their place now, although you'll do it with such good nature that no harm will be done.
You're longing to be swept away by romance today, so you'll be putty in the hands of you-know-who. This is great if you trust them and you have a good relationship, but be wary of allowing yourself to be manipulated by anyone who may not have your best interests at heart. Right now you're feeling very idealistic and not able to protect yourself when necessary.
Your feelings are close to the surface today, making you sensitive to what's going on around you. It will be very difficult to preserve a cool, calm and collected image if something ruffles you, because it will show on your face and in your behaviour. There's nothing wrong with that, but try not to over-react when dealing with things that don't merit such a fuss.
It's a super day for going shopping because you've got plenty of energy for tearing around the shops and seeing what's on offer. You're also interested in getting to grips with some energetic domestic chores, such as the gardening or housework. You'll really put your back into them all, and you'll be thrilled with the great results.
A local event or neighbourhood activity goes really well today, helped along by your current ability to bring out the best in others. A few well-chosen words could make all the difference to what happens now, and you'll definitely prefer to mollify people than to rub them up the wrong way. Remember that if you've got to do something that you aren't looking forward to.
The next six weeks will be a fantastic opportunity to cram as much fun into your life as possible. You'll have a very strong desire to enjoy yourself whenever you get the chance, and that will include making the most of your love life. If you get involved with someone new, the thrill of the chase will be a big part of the fun. Take care, though, not to confuse love with lust.
Some of your relationships will be rather fraught between now and late September, thanks to a sudden inability on your part to compromise and allow others to go their own way. You want to call the shots, and to have a lot of control over partners, even if this drives them round the bend with irritation. So expect some heated encounters unless you can tone things done a little.
During the next few weeks you can put stacks of energy into activities that have a lot of meaning for you, but you won't be nearly so enthusiastic over things you can take or leave. In fact, you could get rather ratty if you're expected to spend too much time on activities that seem inconsequential or superficial. You'll also have plenty of energy to devote to your sex life, as you'll be feeling extremely passionate and sensual.
You're up for a challenge from today, and you'll jump at anything that gives you the opportunity to prove your worth or push yourself further than usual. This could be very helpful and inspiring if you're usually the sort of Capricorn who likes to play safe, but it may not be such good news if you're always fairly headstrong, because during the next few weeks you'll want to stretch yourself, and your luck, to the limit.
Between now and late September you'll feel a strong urge to push ahead with your goals and ambitions. There will be phases when this seems extremely urgent and you'll be reluctant to waste valuable time. Although you'll be able to achieve a tremendous amount, you'll be most successful if you know when to pace yourself. Avoid making management feel that you're after their job and snapping at their heels.
During the next few weeks you won't want to waste any time in making progress with your plans for the future. You may even have a strong sense of urgency that pushes you forward and won't allow you to relax for long. Maybe it would help to set yourself a reasonable deadline, so you have something specific to aim for and you can pace yourself accordingly.
Get out and about as much as possible today. Ideally, you should forget about your usual Tuesday routine and do something completely different for a change because it will be a real tonic. You'll also enjoy getting together with people who have a refreshing take on life and who can help you to see it from another angle.
Personal communications won't be easy between today and the 25th, so take extra precautions. You might not realize that you're sending out mixed signals or that you're giving a misleading impression about something. This won't be a good time for making important personal decisions because you might change your mind about them further down the line.
If you're waiting for someone to repay a debt, do your best to chase them up during the next few weeks. You'll make it plain that you aren't going to let them get away with it, and you'll keep reminding them that you're waiting for your money. Money in general will be important to you, but don't let it make you unduly materialistic or acquisitive.
The next few weeks are great for putting as much effort into your communications as possible. If you've got something to say, this will definitely be the time to say it, especially if it requires courage. However, will you know when to be quiet? There's a chance that you might say too much at times, or come across as too aggressive and demanding. So take care!
Domestic relationships start to come under strain from today and they won't sort themselves out until the beginning of September. So be very wary about misreading situations and try not to give anyone the wrong impression simply because you haven't said something important. Do your best to avoid signing any documents or agreements until this tricky phase blows over, in case you're being led up the garden path or you haven't been given all the facts.
Keep an eagle eye on paperwork and files during the next couple of weeks because they'll have a nasty habit of doing their own thing and causing havoc. This isn't a time to trust to luck or hope that everything will magically look after itself because that isn't going to happen. There could also be mix-ups over appointment times, so check these carefully.
Someone is being awfully defensive and edgy today, making it difficult to talk to them without feeling that you're being put on the spot or they're waiting for you to say the wrong thing. This is especially likely when talking to members of the family, so bear this in mind if you'll be spending time with a relative who always seems to be hovering on the brink of a major huff.
You could hear some uncomfortable truths about yourself today, so be prepared not to like everything you're told. Although your instincts may tell you to deny what you're hearing, it would be far better to listen carefully. There may be a lot of truth in what you're told, even if you don't like to admit it to yourself.
Someone is very combustible and bad-tempered. It's Monday, so they're looking for a row and it won't be long before they get one. Trigger points include anything connected with your home or family life, and they'll also be very defensive if they think you're having a go at them. You may decide it's best to have a row so you can clear the air.
This is one of those exhausting days when you've got so much to do that you don't know where to start. Don't lose your sense of perspective, or your objectivity. Your mind changes like the wind and you'll soon start to hum with pent-up nervous energy. Take things one at a time, and do something active if you feel that you're reaching screaming point.
A certain person has an awfully high opinion of themselves today. You'll know this by the way they talk down to you or give you instructions that are an insult to your intelligence. Probably the best way to respond is to rise above it all and pretend that you haven't noticed. If you're determined to stand up for yourself then so be it, but don't get caught up in such minor complaints that you sound petty and small-minded.
Put on your tin hat because you're highly likely to have some clashes with partners and older relatives today. The trouble is that everyone is feeling moody and irritable, and they're also showing a marked tendency to be bossy and argumentative. What starts out as a simple conversation could descend into a row because everyone wants to defend their opinion at all costs.
Money could quickly become a source of problems now, particularly if a certain someone is convinced that they know what you should be spending your cash on. Naturally, they'll disagree with you about what you want to buy, and they may even be prepared to go into a sulk if you don't play by their rules. As this is the last thing you'll do, so a row seems almost inevitable.
Be wary about making wild statements or exaggerated claims today because they'll come back to haunt you. You are likely to be caught out, which could leave you with a red face. Although you're very steamed up about something that offends your principles or beliefs, try not to turn it into a major drama or use it as an excuse to lose your temper about other things.
There's no arguing with you-know-who today. They've got an answer for everything and it's likely to be delivered at full speed and top volume. You may decide that discretion is the better part of valour, especially if you've had more than enough of their moods lately. Don't let this distract you from your work, nor make you take out your irritation on other people.
Busy? You bet. The trouble is that there simply won't be enough hours in the day for getting everything done, and as a result you'll quickly get in a flap. Once that happens, spats and quarrels look more than likely, thanks to your lack of patience and the temporary departure of your sense of humour. But don't be horrid to people just for the sake of it.
Is something bugging you? It certainly seems that way, because you're feeling hot and bothered. You've also got a tendency to latch on to tiny details as though they were utterly essential, and then to pursue them doggedly. For instance, you might put someone through some rigorous questioning because you aren't quite sure what they're talking about.
Watch out, because you're in a rather combustible mood right now and it won't take much to make you go off bang. What's wrong? You could be feeling got at, especially if a loved one has been nagging you or is being grumpy. There is also a chance that you're subconsciously goading someone into losing their temper so you can have a rip-roaring row with them.
You're in a very practical mood today and you want to get to grips with anything that currently needs your attention. For instance, you might want to go over some accounts or pay a few bills, or you could have to check the terms of an insurance policy. You won't flinch from whatever it is that you have to do, even if it isn't very interesting or fun. You'll simply do what you've got to do.
If you've been wondering when would be a good time to have a word with a certain person, do it today. You're in an easy-going and positive mood, making it easy to hit it off with everyone you meet. You'll also enjoy getting out and about at some point, so maybe this would be a good opportunity to drop in on a neighbour or venture a little further afield and have a day out.
You're in a very positive frame of mind, a welcome relief after the angst of the past few days. Enjoy your home comforts with some of your nearest and dearest. You don't have to do anything very ambitious, either, so simply getting together with the rest of the family for a delicious meal will be enough to keep you smiling.
Someone is a good companion today. They're being friendly, supportive and helpful, and you're grateful to them. If you can't return the compliment at the moment, at least you can let them know that you appreciate what they're doing for you and that you'll try to help them whenever it seems appropriate. It feels good to know that they're giving you their backing.
This is a great day for being with people you admire and respect. You might even pick their brains about something if you think it's appropriate, but don't take advantage of their good nature. There could be some good news about your job prospects or someone might offer to pull a few strings on your behalf.
An old saying has it that a day without laughter is a day wasted, and you'd certainly agree with that this Sunday. So you'll do your best to fit in as many chuckles and belly laughs as possible by choosing funny companions. This is also a terrific day for taking part in a group activity that unites you with some kindred spirits or introduces you to some new friends.
You're exuding optimism from every pore today, and it feels great. No matter what life has thrown at you recently, right now you're convinced that you can take it on the chin and come up smiling. If you're a free agent today you'll enjoy having a complete change of scene, especially if you visit somewhere that's steeped in history, culture or spirituality.
You're feeling good, especially if the limelight is on you and you can demonstrate your talents. You'll also be thrilled if someone you respect pays you a compliment or makes it obvious how highly they regard you. If you're out shopping, you could spot a status symbol that you long to buy.
A friend proves that they're a staunch supporter today, much to your delight. They won't want to make a big song and dance about it but you'll know that you've got their backing if you need it. You might also benefit from a chum's feedback, when they draw your attention to the facts but stop short of telling you exactly what to do.
Spend time with loved ones today if possible. Being with your nearest and dearest is exactly what you're in the mood for, especially if you can take care of them or spoil them in some way. If you're cooking, you'll have a tendency to make much more food than anyone can eat, so resist the temptation to scoff all the leftovers when no one's looking....
Life is a cabaret today! Well, you may not want to put on the fishnet tights and the bowler hat, but you certainly feel like dancing and singing. What's brought this on? It may be nothing more than a sense of being at one with the world, and a determination to look on the bright side and make the best of whichever cards life has dealt you. When you think about it, what else can you do?
You'll be happiest if you can gather your loved ones around you now. You want to know that they're okay, and the best way to do that is to see it with your own eyes. Even if you go into mother-hen mode at some point because you're concerned about someone, you'll manage to do it without making too much of a fuss, which would be self-defeating.
Over the next couple of days try to find the time for a good, long look at your home and garden. Could they do with a facelift? Even a few minor adjustments, such as moving around the furniture or buying some new cushions, could make all the difference to the mood and feel of your surroundings. However, beware of a tendency to blow your budget and then spend even more money.
Harmony means a great deal to you during the next few weeks, and you'll do your utmost to create it in your relationships. This means you'll try to compromise with people rather than clash with them, and give them the benefit of the doubt when necessary. All the same, it would be better to stand up to them if you think they're taking full advantage of your good nature.
Explore your emotions in depth during the next four weeks, because this will be a marvellous opportunity to discover how you're feeling about certain things and people. You should also be prepared to be much more passionate and intense with loved ones than usual, because you'll get back what you give out and it will be thrilling.
If you're a solo Scorpio at the moment and looking for love, you could find it through travel, further education, politics or religion between now and early September. If you're off on vacation you could have a delicious holiday romance, or you might lose your heart to your destination and yearn to return in the very near future.
It's another day when relationships bring problems. Either you or a loved one is seething with pent-up emotion and buried anger, and looking for a satisfying outlet. Unfortunately, this probably means blowing off steam to whoever happens to be around at the time. If you're the one who goes bang, don't get so steamed up that you make the situation worse than ever.
The next four weeks emphasize your relationships with people who are older, wiser or more influential than you. You might even strike up an intense or significant friendship with someone who comes into this category, leading to an improvement in your status or power, or a boost to your ego. However, you must be honest with yourself about what you want from this person.
The next four weeks promise to be a glorious time for your love life. This might mean a really wonderful interlude with you-know-who, in which you fall in love with each other all over again, or someone new might enter your life. Or you might simply have a marvellously happy time with loved ones, friends and children, knowing that you all cherish one another's company. Fab, fab, fab!
The coming four weeks are a fantastic time for being with friends and kindred spirits. It will do you the world of good to be with people who are on the same wavelength as you, and you might even find that you've got a lot more in common than you first realized. There is even a chance that someone who starts as a friend ends up as a lover or partner.
Romance lights up your life during the next four weeks, much to your delight. You might experience this at second hand, perhaps because a loved one is walking around with stars in their eyes or because you'll revel in watching some soppy films. Alternatively, you could get drawn into a deliciously romantic phase with a certain person, and you'll be walking on air.
Between now and early September you'll jump at the chance to pamper yourself. And you'll want to do it as often as possible! If you're still toying with the idea of changing your image in some way, it will be almost impossible to resist it this August. So treat yourself to some clothes, a change of hairstyle, some flattering make-up or anything else that appeals.
Beware of an extravagant streak that takes control of you from today and lasts until early September. It will encourage you to spend money like water, and also to splash out on all sorts of treats and luxuries. You won't want to stint yourself, and that will cause problems if you're supposed to be carefully controlling your budget.
During the coming four weeks you'll excel at bringing out the best in the people around you. For instance, if a neighbour is usually a total pain in the neck, you may even manage to perform a miracle by appealing to their better nature and keeping them sweet. So make the most of your tact and diplomacy, because they'll be your best friends this month.
You're able to make some very powerful and long-lasting changes to your life today, provided that you follow some important rules. For a start, you should consult anyone who'll be affected by what you're proposing, and if possible you should get their approval or co-operation before going ahead. You must also keep control of your emotions and be very aware of what you're doing.
Prepare yourself for a difficult day. For a start, you seem riddled with self-doubt and a lack of direction, and this will be exploited by anyone who wants to get the better of you. You're also facing big changes connected with a relationship or financial arrangement, and right now you aren't very keen on the idea. But can you do anything to stop it?
Someone is gripped by the need to make some radical and dramatic changes, but things aren't going their way. Maybe you're opposing their proposals, and are prepared to resist them to the bitter end. If you're the one who's trying to introduce these changes, consider the other people involved and do not ride roughshod over their feelings, even if that means scaling down your plans.
It's so difficult to be straight with yourself about the current state of a relationship, Aquarius. Although you're normally one of the most logical signs of the zodiac, right now you're avoiding reality like the plague and are shunning any unpleasant facts you don't want to acknowledge. You could easily deceive yourself about a certain person. Watch out!
You have very strong ideas about what's good and what's bad today, and you're prepared to stand by them come what may. That's fine, but where you could come unstuck is if you insist that other people play by your rules or if you're actually harbouring doubts about what you're doing. You could be a powerful force for good now, but only if you're convinced that you're in the right.
You're capable of making some profound and long-lasting changes to your life today. You'll be especially effective when it comes to improving your job prospects or focusing on your long-term goals. However, it's important that you know when to hold back and when to move forward, and also that you get some influential people on your side, rather than set them against you.
You're very keen to make some changes or improvements right now, but these won't go nearly as smoothly as you'd like. That's because someone might feel threatened by what you're proposing and try to stop you in your tracks, or your ideas may be over-ambitious and therefore impractical. Beware of a tendency to believe that you're automatically in the right over a moral issue.
It's time to make some long-lasting and serious changes to your domestic life and family set-up, even if this is a daunting prospect. For instance, you might realize that it's time to move house even if you'd love to stay put in your present home. Or you could have to make a tough decision about one of the family. The trick will be to keep control of your emotions and your desires.
You normally have a healthy dose of self-confidence but it could easily evaporate today, thanks to the dispiriting or ego-sapping behaviour of a certain person. You might suspect that they're looking down their nose at you or they're deliberately trying to make you doubt yourself for some reason. This may be true but it might also be all in your imagination. So take care!
If you usually pride yourself on having both feet on the ground you'll wonder what on earth is going on. You might be in a very escapist mood or you may struggle to grasp what's happening, especially where financial matters are concerned. This isn't the best day for reaching decisions because you're in two minds about many things. You may also be undermined by others.
During the last couple of months it's been made perfectly clear to you that certain relationships need very careful evaluation, and also that it's only a matter of time before some vital changes are made. Well, this is a day for a major transformation in a relationship, provided it will be to everyone's benefit. Resist the temptation to do things in which only you will benefit.
One of the major themes in your life throughout 2004 is change, and you're reminded about it once again this Friday. You're becoming increasingly aware of the need to make some radical transformations, especially where your health, work or beliefs are concerned, and these take on a sense of urgency now. If you've been scared of making the first move, you're now ready to give it a try. In fact, you've reached the point where you realize that you've got more to lose by holding on to the status quo than by surrendering it and taking your chances.
This is a super day for getting on with whichever chores are currently top of your list of priorities. It will be good to know that you're doing something about them, so take pride in doing them to the best of your ability. The atmosphere between you and a colleague is reassuring and enjoyable, so you'll work very well together.
This is a fabulous day for mixing with people. You're feeling gregarious and outgoing, and you'll love seeing friends. If you want to improve the atmosphere with someone you see on a regular basis, such as a neighbour or close relative, this is a super opportunity to invite them round for a drink and discreetly butter them up.
This is a super day for being with loved ones, because you'll draw a tremendous amount of comfort and reassurance from their company. You don't have to do anything terribly exciting either, so simply gathering your nearest and dearest around you at home might be all you need. This could be a good opportunity for a family pow-wow about some forthcoming plans.
You're in a much more upbeat mood than you've been during the past few days and you're ready to get the most out of life once more. In fact, this looks like being one of the most enjoyable days of the entire month so put as much effort into it as possible. It's terrific for getting out and about, and preferably for visiting somewhere that captures your imagination.
You'll excel if you're at work today, because you're being so efficient and capable. This is good news if a boss or someone else in authority is watching your progress because they'll be highly impressed. If you've been considering switching jobs, you could hear about something that seems eminently suitable now.
Make the most of your social life today, whether that means going to a big party or simply having a quick drink with a friend. You're in a very gregarious and outgoing mood, which is guaranteed to attract plenty of attention, especially from the opposite sex. This is just what you want if you're hoping to dazzle a certain someone with your charms and leave them gasping for more.
You're normally quite a private person but you'll gain a lot of pleasure from expressing your emotions today. You might have a wonderfully soppy and romantic encounter with your beloved, which sets you up for the rest of the week and makes you feel all warm inside. Or you could have an in-depth conversation with someone you trust.
You long for a break from your usual routine, and you'll be counting the minutes until you can get away if you're about to go on holiday. This is exactly what you're in the mood for right now, so plan something else that you can look forward to if a holiday isn't on the horizon. How about arranging a weekend away or inviting a friend to come and stay?
If you're trying to sort out a financial problem, don't hesitate to ask for expert advice. This might be your accountant or financial adviser, someone in your local bank or building society, or a friend whose opinion you respect. On the other hand, you may be the one who's doling out the advice, in which case you'll do your utmost to be as fair and sensible as possible.
It's been a difficult month so far but things will be much more easy-going today, so cheer up! This is a marvellous day for taking part in social activities and mixing with as many people as possible. You're feeling gregarious and outgoing, and will enjoy catching up with people you haven't seen lately. It's an especially good day for getting together with friends and neighbours.
You're in a sentimental and emotional mood today, without going overboard or getting worked up. In an ideal world, you should surround yourself with loved ones, or spend time with one special person, and revel in their company. It's also a super day for luxuriating in your home comforts.
You're wreathed in smiles today and feeling much better than you have so far this August. You've recaptured your joie de vivre and you'll find all sorts of ways to enjoy yourself now. Play one of your favourite pieces of music when you're in the car, treat yourself to a delicious snack with your coffee or get in touch with someone who always makes you laugh.
Watch out for someone who's thinking and behaving like a martyr. They obviously want your approval and respect, but they're going about it in the wrong way. There may also be more than a hint of self-satisfaction in their behaviour, making you suspect that they're actually on an ego trip. But whether you dare to say any of this is another matter!
A woman in your life needs plenty of love and attention today, otherwise she'll make her displeasure known. Even if you're busy on other things, it will be much better to give her what she wants than to ignore her and then have to patch things up later on. A quick hug, a phone call or a five-minute chat will do the trick if you can't spare the time for anything else at the moment.
Your finances are rather volatile at the moment and things could go slightly haywire on that front. Once again you're in an extravagant mood, tempted to splash out on virtually anything that takes your fancy. Who cares about the price tag? You'll be so much more interested in how this yummy purchase makes you feel.
It's easy to get on well with other people today, especially if they're permanent fixtures in your daily routine. Expect a very happy time with workmates or a good chat with a neighbour. The only snag is if you're expected to do some work you're not in the mood for, because you'll find any excuse not to get on with it.
You're still feeling churned up and vulnerable, but try not to over-react to any problems that you face today. You might feel unloved because a special person can't spare you the time you crave, or you could get in a tizz about a minor domestic problem that looms large in your life at the moment. You feel as though it's the end of the world but this phase won't last long.
A certain person wants your attention and they won't be very pleased if you appear to be withholding it. They may even accuse you of losing interest in them or they could stage a jealous tantrum. Ho hum. You should also be wary of loved ones who believe that the best way to show that you care is to spend lots of money on them. Oh really? Give them a hug instead - it's much cheaper.
Life is full of intensity today, and you have a tendency to take things more seriously than usual. Your emotions are near the surface, too, and could erupt at an embarrassing moment. For instance, you might display a lot of emotion when you're in a public place or when all eyes are on you, and your Virgoan modesty will curl up at the very thought.
The closer you are to someone, the more likely it is that the atmosphere between you will be highly charged and slightly tense. Maybe one of you is feeling neglected by the other one, and you're craving their attention. There could also be a hint of jealousy or possessiveness in what happens between you now, and you'll have to proceed with caution.
It's easy to be carried away by romantic thoughts today, but the trouble is that they may have very little bearing on what's really happening. For instance, you might indulge yourself in a delicious reverie about you-know-who, neatly forgetting that what you're imagining is unlikely ever to take place. Fantasy is one thing but don't confuse it with the facts.
Is someone indulging in some attention-seeking behaviour today? You must admit that it looks that way to you, because they're doing things designed to make all eyes swivel in their direction. Unfortunately, they'll make more and more of a fuss until they get what they want. They may even have an emotional outburst at the most inconvenient time.
A friend needs plenty of attention at the moment which is okay if you can spare the time, but can you? It's highly likely that you've got other claims on your time, in which case you'll have to be very tactful if you're to avoid upsetting this person or making them feel that they aren't important enough to you. You may also receive an invitation that you can't get out of, even if you would like to.
Ideally, you should steer clear of anything that really stirs up your emotions today, otherwise you're likely to go over the top in some way. That, of course, is easier said than done because your heart is definitely ruling your head right now. Be particularly careful when dealing with topics that touch on your fears or stir up painful memories that you've been trying to bury.
This is a good day to make sure that your domestic and family plans are running smoothly. You'll want to check up on all sorts of details, without getting caught up in trivia or worrying about things that will never happen. If you've been concerned about the welfare of a loved one, have a chat with them to make sure they're OK. They'll appreciate it.
Relationships are much more easy going and enjoyable today, thank goodness. Everyone seems to be going out of their way to be friendly, and you're also at your chummiest. It's a wonderful excuse to get together with someone who always makes you laugh, because life will look very different after you've had a good giggle together.
If you're organizing a social event, people will soon cut up rough if they don't like what you're suggesting. For instance, there could be a dispute about how much things will cost, with someone using this as an excuse to have a mini-tantrum or dredge up past grievances. You may also meet resentment through someone who wants what you've got. Or maybe you're feeling jealous of what they've got?
A certain someone is talking a lot of sense today, though they may not even be aware they're doing it. You could also have a very positive and constructive conversation with someone you respect and admire, or who is much older than you and has plenty of experience of life.
Long-buried emotions could come back to haunt you today, leaving you in a tetchy and tense mood. You might find that you're worrying about something that happened such a long time ago that you couldn't do anything to change it now even if you wanted to. What's really bothering you and how can you fix it? Try to be objective and constructive, and don't brood.
Put on your thinking cap today and you'll come up with some really good ideas. You're at your most practical, rational and sensible right now, yet without being tedious or humourless. If you're busy trying to organize a holiday or some long-distance travel, this is an excellent day for doing some research into the cost of fares or hotels, or for simply making sure that everyone is doing what's expected of them.
Approach life from as practical an angle as possible today. You aren't interested in theories or suppositions - you want to deal with the facts. This makes it an ideal day to sort out problems at work or to unravel a tangle of red tape. If you're talking to someone important on the phone, it will help to take notes of your conversation in case you need to refer to it again.
If the tension from the past couple of days has started to get to you, try not to use this an excuse for a dramatic scene. Right now you have a tendency to blow problems out of all proportion and to create a song and dance about almost anything. If you need to let off steam, do so in productive ways that help to reduce your nervous energy, such as going for a brisk walk.
If you're going shopping leave your credit card at home, because you're in the mood to splash out. None of them may cost very much by themselves, but the total will soon mount up if you give into temptation every time you see something you want. It will be hard to stagger home because you're laden down with so many carrier bags!
Any form of study will go well today because your powers of concentration have returned with a vengeance and your mind is behaving itself once again. You'll also take pleasure from gathering new facts or doing some research, and the results will be great if you can take a systematic and logical approach to what you're doing.
If you're feeling guilty about what's been happening over the past couple of days, you'll want to make amends and may even go over the top in the process. If some grovelling is required then that's what you need to do, but try not to get into someone's good books again by promising them the earth because you'll only have to let them down when you fail to deliver the goods.
Put your brain to good use now because you're in a very rational and logical frame of mind. It's a super day for showing how organized and practical you can be, without getting bogged down in details or becoming a stick-in-the-mud. If you get involved in a discussion or negotiation, your intellect and common sense will shine through.
Today you're very keen on any activities that will brighten up your life and give you something fresh to think about. As a result, you could become interested in a new hobby that seems to offer you a lot of scope, or you might consider joining a club or organization that's slightly unusual. Some of your ideas may also seem quite radical to you, yet they are worth following up.
Whether or not you were responsible for yesterday's ructions, you're in a very restless and agitated state today. It's hard to settle down to anything for long, and when you do you'll quickly get bored and want to move on to something else. You have excess nervous energy right now and need to find some constructive outlets for it, otherwise it could make you do something reckless or shocking.
You're in a very impetuous mood and looking for ways of livening things up still further. Control the grip of sudden, probably irrational urges, or you won't be able to stop yourself going ahead with them. You might jeopardize something you value, whether it's a relationship or a possession, if you feel like taking risks with it. Be careful, Aquarius!
If you're still reeling from yesterday's events, take the opportunity to talk about them. Your brain is bubbling and you have to talk it through in an effort to make sense of it. You can't tuck everything away into a neat little pigeonhole at the moment, because you still need to come to terms with what's happened, and also to absorb its significance.
You are likely to be caught up in details and forget to keep an eye on the bigger picture today. This means you start to fret about things that don't really matter while possibly ignoring something that's much more pressing. If you're trying to get on with your work now, you may have to cope with lots of tiresome or trivial interruptions. Perhaps you could shut yourself away from everyone else for a while?
A loved one is in an excitable mood and it will take all your energy to keep up with them. They may keep changing their mind about something so you aren't sure of what's going on, or their emotions are blowing hot and cold. The best way to entertain them is to do things on the spur of the moment and to accept that they're currently acting on emotional whims. This phase will soon pass, so there's probably no need to make a big thing of it.
Your energy levels are very erratic today, making it difficult to get through the day smoothly. Try to treat your body with respect, because existing on a meagre or unhealthy diet will only make the problem worse. If you're at work, a colleague might blow hot and cold, or there could be an unexpected encounter with a certain person that leaves you wondering what on earth is going on.
It's another difficult day, with partners saying what they think and a general atmosphere of tension. Try not to get sucked into petty squabbles or time-wasting arguments over ridiculous details, because these will make you feel very unsettled and leave a bad taste in your mouth for the rest of the day. Try to see the funny side in what's happening.
Your partner could take you by surprise today, perhaps by making a suggestion that you can barely credit or by doing something that makes you see them in a new light. Although there could be some shock value in this, it will also help to liven up the day and give you something to think about. And you may decide that you like what they're suggesting, after all.
This is another day when your thoughts are flying in all directions. It may mean that you're rather absent-minded or distracted, so watch out if you're supposed to be concentrating on something important. At some point you could get embroiled in an argument about someone's beliefs or ideas, especially if you totally disagree with everything they're saying. Ouch!
Be very careful when dealing with people in authority today because the atmosphere will be fraught and irritable. If you're trying to toe the line with them you'll be annoyed about it, and may unconsciously say the wrong thing. You'll also get very bogged down in details if you're sorting out paperwork or filling in forms, so do your best to remain objective. If the worst comes to the worst, have a break from what you're doing so you can clear your head.
You're in rather an eccentric mood right now, which means you might do anything given half a chance. Although it will be liberating to do things on the spur of the moment, try not to behave in reckless ways that will only lead to trouble in the long run. You should also be wary of trying to shock people out of what you see as their complacent attitude. This might be masking deep feelings that deserve your respect rather than your ridicule.
Your mind is racing, filled with a whole host of different ideas. Keeping track of them will be about as easy as catching all the seeds from a dandelion, but write down as many of your brainwaves as possible without censoring them first. This isn't the right day to evaluate your thoughts because you've got your work cut out trying to capture and record them all.
Someone is being really outspoken, and possibly even shocking, today. They seem to be deliberately going out of their way to say things that cause a commotion or bring them plenty of attention. Now, the big question is whether you're behaving in the same way, in which case you need to get a grip before you say something that will land you in boiling hot water. What's up with you, anyway?
Be very choosy about who and what you believe, Aquarius, because certain people appear to be talking absolute nonsense. Well, that's the impression they're giving, at any rate. Are they making things up as they go along, or are they deliberately trying to wind you up? Be especially wary if they're trying to persuade you to give them some financial backing because this isn't a good day for making such important decisions.
Something shocking or controversial may take some getting used to, dear Goats. You may even doubt the evidence of your own ears, or wonder what on earth has possessed this person to say such a thing. The question is whether they're deliberately being provocative, they're speaking the truth or you're being much too reactionary and stubborn. Think it through carefully.
Your thought processes are operating much faster than normal, making it difficult to keep track of your ideas. No sooner has one thought occurred to you than it's followed by another, and you'll probably end up forgetting most of them. This will make you seem absent-minded and distracted, so it will help to jot down whatever it is that you have to accomplish before it slips your mind.
It's as though you're receiving too much information today and you don't know what to listen to or think about first. Your mind is a whirl of thoughts, impressions and ideas, making it almost impossible to think straight or keep a grip on what's passing through your brain. Write down anything important so you don't forget it. Some moderate exercise may also help you to maintain some sort of control over your mind.
Is there any chance that you-know-who has been taken over by aliens? Weird as that may sound, right now it seems a distinct possibility judging by the strange things they're doing and saying. However, there could be some logic in their actions, even though it's escaping you at the moment. So try to go with the flow, be as open minded as possible and not make pre-conceived judgements about what this person is saying.
Technology is great when it works and a total pain when it doesn't. Unfortunately, it looks as though this will be one of those days when you're driven up the wall by machines that refuse to do what you tell them. Your computer might stage a big sulk or your phone might go on the blink. To make matters worse, you're being bombarded by too much information and you can't take it all in. What a day!
It's difficult to keep track of your thoughts today because they're whirling around in so many different directions. This will make you seem rather absent-minded to others because you'll be so easily distracted. There are also more interruptions to contend with than usual, making you long for some peace and quiet. So do yourself a favour and have some time on your own, otherwise you'll end up at screaming pitch.
Someone is being very outspoken today and they don't seem to care. As a result, they could easily put your nose out of joint or say things that would have been better left unsaid. The conversation might also turn to this person's desire for freedom of some sort, which could make you feel very uncomfortable, especially if you suspect that they're talking about their freedom from you! Wait to see what happens next before going into a panic because it may not amount to anything.
It feels as though you're being bombarded with information today, making it difficult to know who to listen to first. This will be even more confusing if you're trying to straighten out a financial or official matter and everyone is giving you different advice. You're in an impetuous mood and could agree to something on the spur of the moment that you'll regret when you've had time to think about it.
How wacky and unpredictable are you prepared to be today? It looks as though you're happy to go out on a limb if that will get your point across, but there's a problem in this because it means you're likely to get right up someone's nose. You could easily say things that are deliberately intended to cause a stir or shock someone, but this will backfire on you sooner or later. Yes, you want to rebel but you must be careful how you do it.
