Overspending on luxury items might have you feeling the need to tighten your belt a little. This could make you feel downhearted. Don't blame yourself too much. We all do this from time to time.

Minor family problems might make you gloomy today. Perhaps a family member is away, or there may have been some petty squabbles in your household.

Once they're out of your conscious thoughts, the solution may come spontaneously.
Friends or groups could make excessive demands on your time today. As a generous and service-oriented person, you tend to go along with what others want. This is OK, but you're not serving anyone by letting them step over the line. You can also delegate. Keep busy, but don't overextend yourself. You need to save some energy for tomorrow.
Though you're usually outgoing, today you might feel more shy and reserved, perhaps because of melancholy thoughts about love or friendship.

Be discriminating.
Information regarding spiritual or philosophical matters that may not be all that trustworthy may come your way. Don't take what you hear today at face value.

Group activities or get-togethers with friends may not go as well as usual today.

A touch of melancholy and moodiness might have you feeling distanced from your entourage and so you could throw yourself into solitary activities. Your concentration may not be what it should be.

You feel romantic and sexy today, but you won't have the opportunity to do anything about it.

Today you may extend an invitation to someone close to visit you in your home, but don't count on the person being able to make it. Something may come up.

Move away from the problems instead of stepping into them. You may not be able to see the potholes, so consider taking another road. Don't waste time falling into a hole you can avoid.

This attitude won't serve you today.
This is a terrific day in which you'll be able to cut through the falsehoods and get to the essence of the issue. Don't waste your time on superficial conversations and situations.

There's a terrific intensity to today that may have you running for cover. You may be tempted to say your peace and run for the hills.

You make your own rules and set your own standards.
There's a terrific, warm, and nurturing quality to the day. The people around you are validating your inner and outer aspects.

You may be uncomfortable with the emotional intensity that's likely to seep into every part of your day. You may wonder what the big deal is and why people are so hopped up over nothing.

There's intensity in your relationships now, and you may feel like every situation is life-or-death. Calm those voices in your head. Meditate, take a yoga class, and breathe deeply.

You may feel weighed down by the emotional pall hanging over everything. Don't let this feeling overwhelm you, although at times this may be impossible. A good friend could call on you for help and emotional support. Don't end up turning the focus around and talking only about your experiences. Loyalty and compassion are keys for today.
Whatever you do, infuse it with passion. You tend to overanalyze things when you should follow your intuition. You know in your heart which way to proceed and how to treat the people around you. Don't try to force the situation or manipulate it into something it isn't. This is a wonderful day. You have a chance to share yourself with others. Receive the love and understanding you deserve.
Dive deep. This isn't a day to stay in shallow waters. This is a day to go beyond your normal limits. Although there may be a great emotional charge accompanying everything you do, let this be the excitement that fuels your passion and not the reason to stop. Getting started may be tough, and you may want to spend the day in bed. Once you get going, it may be hard to slow down.
