Overview

The main reading

Today, the Moon in Virgo will make you feel sensitive to people’s barbs around you. Some close relative or friend may say or do something to hurt you. Don’t allow anyone to make you feel small or make you regret some decision which you had not taken in their favour. Stick to whatever you decided. After all, when you made the decision, it was not at the spur of the moment, but a carefully thought out one. So, don’t allow yourself to get pushed into changing it. Sometimes, the closer a person is to you, the more are their expectations from you. Purple is the lucky colour for you today. 10:00 am - 11:00 am is going to be of immense productivity for you.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today you will find that you are the centre of attention socially thanks to your charm. You will feel like all eyes are on you and you will enjoy this privileged position! Don`t let it go to your head, but do enjoy it. Your joy at being noticed will give you a joy that makes you even more attractive to others. Make sure you show your charming personality, though, and not just your good looks.

Career

Work and ambition

Today you will be glad to see that you are able to meet your work targets. There are some deadlines looming over you today and thankfully you will be able to complete your work ahead of time. Students as well, you will manage to complete your studies prior to the big exam. This is all thanks to your hard work!

Finance

Money and resources

Today guard yourself against schemes based solely on speculation. Use your common sense and hold on to your money as long as possible. Others may be trying to separate you from your hard-earned cash, but make sure you show them that you are not so quickly outsmarted. Today is a day to be fiscally conservative.

Health

Body and energy

Avoid handling dangerous objects because the chances of an accident are high. You tend to be accident-prone today and therefore should try to stay away from sharp objects such as knives so that you don`t injure yourself. Also avoid using electrical appliances as you may receive a shock. Make sure you are very careful while handling fire.
