Overview

The main reading

A good thing about you is that you like to do your home-work about anything new before you go ahead with it. That way, you are prepared for the pros and cons of the task to be taken up. The Moon in Capricorn will encourage that ambitious streak in you today, while at the same time, keeping you carefully reigned in. You may want to jump into a new project, but not before wanting to study everything about it first. Being a stickler for details and perfection, you do not want to look foolish if anything goes wrong later. Avoid wearing Green at all cost today to ward off negative energy. Lucky time for you is between 4:30 pm and 5:15 pm so plan accordingly.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today is a day for you to get real about what you are looking for in a partner. You have a tendency to look in all the wrong people for the qualities you think you are looking for. Be honest with yourself today and think about your long-term happiness. Choose someone who respects you and can help you be happy for many years to come.

Career

Work and ambition

Your adversaries would love to put you in bad light, so you should be very careful with your actions today. Your rivals are looking for an opportunity to put you down, and today seems to be the day when they will finally manage to do so. Do not worry; you will be able to handle the situation with some diplomacy and tact.

Finance

Money and resources

Today is a great day to give in to your recent desires to donate money to a good cause. This will not only encourage you to help someone in need but give you peace of mind as well. There are plenty of worthy causes, and your recent feelings of generosity will bring great relief to someone else. You will also experience the joy associated with giving today. Give away the money wisely.

Health

Body and energy

Sheer recklessness may cause a minor accident today, so do exercise caution. You might be tempted to be rash on the road, however it is advised that you exercise great caution today as accidents and injury are highly indicated. Your careless and aggressive driving may result in a serious accident, which can cause damage to your vehicle and may injure you also. Be extra careful today.
