Overview

The main reading

Dear Scorpio, avoid getting involved in any conflicts especially small tiffs with your superior or anyone else at work. At times, it is better to be diplomatic than be correct, so pick your battles wisely. Astroyogi astrologers affirm that you will not regret doing this as things will surely work out in a way that benefits you. It would also be a good idea to avoid taking your work problems home and instead enjoy some good times with your family. This will surely lift your spirits and that of others. Your lucky time will be somewhere around 5 pm or 6:30 pm and your lucky color is bright yellow.

Love

Romance and relationships

You may attend a social or family function today and may find that someone very interesting is in attendance at the party. It may be that a family member is able to introduce you to a special guest with whom you share many interests. This will be a safe place for you to meet someone new as your family will be there and you will be looking your best!

Career

Work and ambition

If you are a manager in an office then you may find that today you are likely to run into some problems with your staff. There is some misunderstanding which creates a tense atmosphere and makes it difficult for everyone to focus. You may have a particularly stubborn staff member who refuses to respect your authority. Be firm but assertive and try not to let it become unprofessional.

Finance

Money and resources

News from abroad spells profits. If you work in an industry that serves clients abroad then today may be a very positive day for you. Watch out for those orders to roll in and gear up your production to meet the demands. Don`t compromise on quality, though, as you could see your gains slip as quickly as they came. Also concentrate on expanding your business and branching out into new cities.

Health

Body and energy

Diabetic patients will have to pay a little more attention to their ailment today. It is time for you to realise that it has long-term implications that could give rise to other problems. You should therefore get rid of any stress, as well as increase your activity level and improve your eating habits.
