The main reading

You are a confident, natural leader and are able to perform any given task perfectly if you stopped yourself from hesitating while making tough decisions. You should avoid trying to constantly please others as that may effect your own life adversely. Today, the Moon in Virgo could invoke a feeling of regret and self-condemnation about a recent happening. Maybe, you compromised on your own feelings while considering others and they have been ungrateful about it. You will feel hurt and frustrated, but maybe this could open your eyes to the selfishness of some people around you. Any task undertaken between 3:45 pm to 5:15 pm will yield successful results for you. Lavender is your lucky color for today.
