Overview

The main reading

The Moon in Capricorn is a great time to reunite with old friends and meet new people, say Astroyogi astrologers. Taurus, someone whom you meet today will become very close to you. This may be the starting point for a long lasting friendship for you. Friends come and go all the time but this particular one will stand by you in hard times. Go that extra mile to help someone who may need it and is unable to tell you so openly. The help you lend will convert what was just a casual friendship into a long-lasting one. 5 pm to 6.30 pm will be your lucky time and wearing white today would prove equally lucky for you.

Love

Romance and relationships

Love beckons as someone attracts your attention today. It would enable you to enter into a new world and discover new emotions which will bring excitement in your life. It would also make you realise that there is a sense of wonder when you are in love for the first time. Therefore, pursue this person and see if this relationship is more than just a fleeting attraction.

Career

Work and ambition

All your pending projects will get completed today. All they need is a final review and a little bit of tweaking. Work at it and finalise it. Some of you who want to shift departments may go ahead today. Take this as an opportunity to broaden your knowledge and enhance your career prospects. Multi tasking is the order of the day and this switch may be the best thing that could ever happen to you.

Finance

Money and resources

All activities related to land will go well today. If you`re a farmer, you`ll have a good harvest. If you`re a gardener, those rare flowers will bloom. If you`re a land developer, your plans will get passed by the authorities, so all of you can celebrate! This is a day for you to reap the rewards of actions you had taken in the past. You will be on top of the world. Make the most of this.

Health

Body and energy

Watch your blood pressure today as you may suffer some problems in this area. If you find yourself under excess stress, then moderate this condition immediately through yoga, deep breathing or other means in order to bring that blood pressure down. If you can`t get a handle on it, see a doctor.
