Overview

The main reading

Ruled by the planet Venus, you love beautiful things and anything related to artistic pleasure. If you had your way; in order to relax; you would simply retire at home and into your beautiful done up den; shutting out the outer world. But today, the Moon in Capricorn will make you want to socialise. You keep a small group of steady friends who are reliable. You may join them for some shopping or fine dining. For you, since family is everything, you may even want to try buying something for them or doing something new with them. This will give you immense happiness. 3.45 pm to 5.15 pm will be especially lucky for you today; any task undertaken during this time is likely to yield successful results.
