Take today to get back on schedule and be ready to start on your work again soon.

Finance

Money and resources

A dip in your income is likely. Beware today of new business prospects today. Try to choose safe proposals which you are already well aware of, or insist on a salary that would bring you the level of financial inflow that you desire. You`ll find that even though some new ideas sound intriguing and potentially lucrative, they may have some major flaws that would lead to serious losses in the end.

There is a possibility of an injury; exercise great caution. Be careful today not to get any repetitive-motion injuries.
