Overview

The main reading

The Moon in Capricorn will curb your impatience and impulsiveness and the feeling of contentment will pervade you. Always wanting to be on the ‘go’, today you want to just sit back and relax. Although for Aries, taking up something challenging is what gives you the utmost happiness but being on a perpetual adrenaline high can be exhausting after some time. Your compassionate nature will come to the forefront and you will enjoy being helpful to people around you. In the same breath, you will be thankful for whatever life has given you. This will ‘up’ your confidence level. The colour yellow is lucky for you today and an auspicious time on this day lies between 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today the lesson for you in the world of romance is that if you want to receive love from your partner, you may have to give the same to him or her first. You cannot keep playing hard to get and expect others to keep showering you with affection. Be forthcoming with your feelings and others will feel safer and more comfortable sharing their emotions with you.

Career

Work and ambition

Today you will need to sit back and reflect on your current career trajectory, as some obstacles in your work sector are forcing you to slow down. Use this time to your advantage and clear your head about what you want from your career and whether your current job is giving it to you. Today is a day you may want to start thinking about moving on if the opportunities for growth are low here.

Finance

Money and resources

Today it is not auspicious to invest in a new automobile, so it is recommended that you not purchase a vehicle today. Vehicles bought today are likely to bring some trouble and tension to their owners. Try to put this decision off for a while. Instead of spending money on a new vehicle this week invest in something that is guaranteed to give you returns for a long time to come.

Health

Body and energy

Avoid accidents of all kinds as you are a bit accident-prone. Be mindful when you are carrying heavy objects or while walking on a slippery surface. Try not to be clumsy today as you may face bigger problems than you expect. Relax at home if possible to stay safe and sound. It will also help you bring your stress levels down and ease off any mental tension. Headaches are likely today.
