Overview

The main reading

Dear Scorpio, things may go wrong since the Moon is now in Libra. As a consequence of this, you can also suffer from low self-esteem. Today it's essential to keep a level head and not allow your emotions to get the better of you. You must be aware of the risks associated with allowing a close friend or family member to take advantage of you. Always remember that you are competent and confident; you should have faith in your intuition and act as the best judge of your circumstances. According to Astroyogi, astrologers, the color wine red will bring you good fortune today.

Love

Romance and relationships

The influence of the planets in your love life today may actually bring you a surprise in the form of an old friend or partner coming back into your life. It will seem like you were together just yesterday and the memories will come flooding back. Don`t get too attached to this person`s presence again, as they are likely to leave once more, but do enjoy the reminiscing that it brings.

Career

Work and ambition

Good news from overseas may be coming your way today if you are a student. Most probably it will be related to an application that you had made. There are very good prospects indicated for students of engineering. If you are graduating then it is highly likely that you have a job offer coming your way today for a position overseas. Consider it seriously-this will be a great opportunity for you.

Finance

Money and resources

You have a lot of work-related travel on your schedule these days. This is a day to consider whether your travel is essential for you or not. You may find that these trips are not as productive or fruitful as you need them to be and it might be more productive if you postpone them. You will find that dividends from travel to distant places now are neutralised by expenses nearer home.

Health

Body and energy

You find that you are heading to the doctor to get a handle on some minor ailments that have been plaguing you recently. This is a good choice because you don`t want undiagnosed small problems to have the chance to become big problems if left untreated. Just follow your instinct and seek out the advice of a qualified specialist in order to get your health back on track.
