Overview

The main reading

Dear Capricorn, the Moon's position in Aries could make you disillusioned and irritated on several levels. Your performance may suffer, and you may become frustrated if the goals and objectives you establish for yourselves are not readily attained. This is only a temporary period, so please don't worry too much about these things. Astroyogi astrologers recommend dressing in golden yellow to boost our confidence. It is thought that between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. is your happiest day.

Love

Romance and relationships

You need to be very aware of your tone of voice and words today. You may come across as critical or insulting, even though that is not your intention. Buried anger may surface at all the wrong times and tinge your words with sarcasm. Monitor your thoughts, body language and all forms of communication. If you`re vigilant, you can prevent a meltdown.

Career

Work and ambition

If you are a medical student or are in the health care field in general, you are likely to find some leads for a good career opportunity today. For students as well this is an excellent period. This opportunity might come quite out of the blue, so keep your eyes and ears open. Your years of hard work have prepared you well for the career path ahead, so enjoy the fruits of your efforts today.

Finance

Money and resources

Self-indulgence is your priority today; you will not spare any effort or expense to spoil yourself. After all the hard work and perseverance, you deserve it. Go ahead and indulge! Just make sure you don`t go overboard to the point that you wind up in debt!

Health

Body and energy

Professionals may find that they are putting in long hours in the office and are becoming fatigued. Your desire to be successful and provide for yourself and your family are commendable. However, all these extra hours are likely to affect both your health and your relationships. At least try to keep your work and home lives separate so that no resentment grows among your family or partner.
