Overview

The main reading

As Moon makes its presence felt in Cancer your attitude may undergo a sea change today. You are likely to be drawn towards things that are practical and rational. A situation or experience has the potential to change you today and as a result you will see benefits from this change in outlook. Others will also appreciate the new you. This may be the beginning of a new chapter in your life where you realize your dreams. Astroyogi astrologers recommend that your luckiest hour of the day lies between 2 pm to 4 pm. Blue is your lucky color for the day.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today you will feel like chucking aside all your responsibilities and just spending some romantic time with your partner. You may feel like seeing an afternoon movie, or having a romantic dinner - anything to get away from the daily routine. Though normally you can`t play hooky from life like this, you can make an exception for today in order to blow off steam and reconnect with your loved one.

Career

Work and ambition

Try to keep your cool in the office today as you are prone to flying off the handle a bit. An excessive workload may keep you on edge whole day and you may blow your lid. Some small arguments are indicated with those who work for you, but you must show restraint and maintain your professional demeanour. These small matters will work themselves out over time if you try to just let them pass.

Finance

Money and resources

Today is a day to pay off pending bills and debts and get your financial house in order. You are inclined today towards safe investments and are looking to feel like you have a stable and secure source of income. Do not make any hasty financial decisions; today is a day to stay on the course.

Health

Body and energy

Today your health may falter slightly. Just be cautious about what you eat and try to avoid oily and spicy foods. To maintain your energy and good health, take it easy today and don`t be too adventurous in trying new foods. Show some restraint.
