Overview

The main reading

Moon moving in Virgo may test your diplomatic skills, dear Scorpio. This transit may make you a little restless and impatient. Keep your emotions in check and make sure you do not say or do anything inappropriate. You may find that someone is crossing your boundaries in a way you find irritating and you will need to figure out how to make them stop. Use your words to be firm without being aggressive and you will get your message across clearly. Wear something in green for peace and calm. 6 pm to 8 pm will prove to be your lucky time today, say Astroyogi astrologers.

Love

Romance and relationships

If you are tired of staying single, then today you are going to get a reprieve from it. There are strong indications that you will be successful in turning a friendship into a loving, committed relationship. However, make sure you are both on the same page in terms of what you want in order to ensure that no one gets hurt.

Career

Work and ambition

Today you need to put a little extra effort into your work in order to meet your deadlines. A touch of laziness on your part as of late has caused you to fall behind. Never mind-you can still catch up and meet your deadlines with just a little extra dedication and perseverance from you.

Finance

Money and resources

Today it is not auspicious to invest in a new automobile, so it is recommended that you not purchase a vehicle today. Vehicles bought today are likely to bring some trouble and tension to their owners. Try to put this decision off for a while. Instead of spending money on a new vehicle this week invest in something that is guaranteed to give you returns for a long time to come.

Health

Body and energy

Hypertension patients will have to be a little careful today as chances of aggravating the problem are high. If you are still suffering from a weight problem, try to get rid of this at the earliest because weight reduction will lead the way to good health. Take only vegetarian food and exercise regularly to keep you fit. You will be highly be benefited if you make meditation an essential part of your daily routine.
