Overview

The main reading

As Moon moves into Taurus today, it is indicated that a special honour may come your way. This should not come as a surprise to you; after all, you are well-liked and appreciated. The honour may be as small as a piece of praise from your superior at work or as a promotion or even an award. Accept it graciously and let it be a light to guide your path ahead. Do not get complacent on receiving this recognition. Wear silver to attract positive energy from the universe. Time between 11:30 am - 12:30 pm is indicated to be good for you.

Love

Romance and relationships

You want your love life to be more than just physical. Perhaps you feel like your partner has been using you for somewhat shallow reasons and has not been as emotionally invested in the relationship as you have been. This is a day to air all those grievances and make sure that the two of you are on the same page. If a superficial relationship is not what you are looking for, make sure you are not in one.

Career

Work and ambition

Career-wise you will find that today is relatively smooth for you. If you have some large projects on your plate then today you will finally feel that by the end of the day you were able to make significant headway on them. Not all days go this smoothly, so use today to your maximum advantage and try to work through as many pending items as possible.

Finance

Money and resources

Foreigners and distant shores promise to be full of lucrative business opportunities. If you work in a business that deals with overseas clients or overseas markets, then today is indicated to be lucrative for you. Put in those extra hours to profit from today`s auspicious position, and reap as many rewards as possible. Your hard work today will surely pay off for you at the bank.

Health

Body and energy

Excessive worry about your health can be just as damaging as actual illnesses. Reduce your anxiety and you`ll improve your health. Practice some yoga today or go out for a walk or a jog and it will do you a world of good. Beware the illnesses that you make up in your mind.
