Overview

The main reading

You are such a balanced person Scorpio, that you should not get sensitive about issues that don’t concern you. The Moon in Aries may provoke you today to vent out some strong and angry emotions that you may have been suppressing for some time now. Your opponents or enemies may have been instigating you to lose it. Don’t fall for their bait, Scorpio. It is your magnetic personality that others could be jealous of. Ignore them. Do something constructive by trying to break out of your normal routine. You could soon be getting some good news out of an ongoing personal or professional relationship. Schedule important meetings and other important activities between 9:00 am and 10:30 am for better results. Blue is your lucky color for today.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today is a day when you may meet someone who intrigues you. Take a few extra minutes this morning to get yourself ready, as you don`t know when or from where this person will arrive. This person may not be the partner of your dreams, but at least they make today a little more interesting! You will find yourself feeling flirty today.

Career

Work and ambition

On the professional front, you may find it difficult to withstand the pressures of work. Keep your energy levels high to deal with this problem. Be careful because hasty decisions taken today may prove wrong and give rise to problems. Think through all your actions carefully in order to avoid problems. At the end of the day don`t forget to recharge your batteries by resting adequately.

Finance

Money and resources

If you have been trying to get a raise in your income recently, today is a day when you will likely hear good news. Though it may have taken a long time to come through, keeping the faith has served you well as finally your patience should pay off. Use these funds wisely, however, as it is important that the benefit they give you is not quickly lost.

Health

Body and energy

Be very careful around fire today. Indications are that there is a greater risk than normal of injury due to fire and hot objects. You might suffer from minor burns which will cause you pain. Keep water handy when handling hot objects just to be safe. If you exercise caution today then you will be just fine. You will find yourself drawn towards meditation in order to relax your mind.
