Aries

If you don't have the authority to act, you need to ask and re-examine the situation. Finding the hard information is the key to your overall plan. A loved one may not be so easily pacified if you've been careless with your words, but the emotional bonds deepen with your sweetheart.

Taurus

This is another day for enjoying your social life whenever you get the chance. If you weren't intending to do anything sociable today, change your mind in order to make the most of this wonderful influence. Arrange a get-together with someone on the spur of the moment or visit a favorite club.

Gemini

If you're trying to make your money stretch as far as possible, this is a good day to discuss ideas with someone who's financially minded, and can give you some useful input. It will also be helpful to bounce your ideas off them and use them as a sounding block. If you've been hoping to turn a colleague into a lover, work your magic on them now.

Cancer

Be sure to do your homework before getting involved in a financial venture if you want to play safe today. Plans for a pleasure trip turn out to be important. You may seek contributions for an event that combines entertainment with networking. Control your fears, as love captivates your thoughts.

Leo

Hold fire if you're supposed to sign an agreement or contract today, because things could easily go haywire. You might find that you've agreed to something that you don't want, the whole process could turn into a pain in the neck or you could change your mind when it's too late to do anything about it. So make your excuses for the time being - it will be worth it.

Virgo

Take care today, because the emotional landscape will be full of pitfalls during the running week. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than bury them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.

Libra

Personal concerns have the greatest importance for you today and you won't really be interested in anything else. You'll try to steer the conversation round to yourself, whether you've got something important to say or you simply want to tell someone what you had for breakfast. That's fine if they're willing to listen, but don't drone on if they've got things to tell you.

Scorpio

Today's is a better day for friendships and plans for the future, so you'd be wise to concentrate as much as possible on these. Make sure you're open to new ideas as well, because some of the concepts that come to you now will be far too good to ignore and you'll long to get started on them.

Sagittarius

Your work goes really well today and you'll enjoy feeling that you're in control of what you're doing. At some point you could have an interesting conversation with a colleague or client, especially if it brings you closer together. It's also a good day for discussing a health matter to someone who knows what they're talking about.

Capricorn

You're eager to make things happen, particularly at home. Take a look around, decide what needs to be done and get on with it. You'll soon get into a rhythm and take pride in what you do. If you need to sort out a problem with one of your nearest and dearest, get to grips with it now while you're in the mood to stand up for yourself, if needs be.

Aquarius

You want to think the best of people today, and you'll do your utmost to give them the benefit of the doubt or make excuses for them if needs be. This is a sign of your compassion, but unfortunately, there's a chance that you're fooling yourself about someone's motives or character, and are ignoring some nasty but glaring truths.

Pisces

You simply don't have as much energy, as usual, today, so you'll have to pace yourself accordingly. If you try to force yourself to do too much you'll simply run out of stamina at some point and have to admit defeat, which will make you feel embarrassed and possibly even slightly depressed. So do yourself a favor and take things gently for a change.
