=Daily Horoscope=

Communication hasn’t been easy lately. It gets back on track today. That’s a great relief to know.

It’s a marvelous opportunity to be decisive and to put forward ideas.

Do you know what you’re doing?

You’re going to enjoy relaxing with your nearest and dearest. You’re tempted to push the boat out in some way.

You should enjoy the comforts of home

and not do anything too strenuous.

Do you want to garden?

Tidy up around the house?

You’re not going to slog your guts out. That’s where you draw the line.

Today is a great day to talk about your feelings. Allow loved ones to do the same.

Look on it as the chance to get things in the open, particularly things swept under the carpet. Things you’re afraid might provoke arguments.

The more honest and open you are the better.

You are absolutely determined.

Remind a certain person that you’re an individual, too.

You want the freedom to do your own thing. 

You tend to fall apart completely when you think you’re being restricted in any way

especially by expectations or responsibilities put on your shoulders without your consent.

You long to rebel, but you have to be careful.

Don’t give yourself a bad name.

It’s so difficult to concentrate; your mind is on other things. You’re floating off in your own world at every opportunity.

You come across as vague and absent-minded.

At the same time, you tune in acutely to the surrounding atmosphere; you’re very good at this. Trust your instincts.

Someone seems to be a walking encyclopedia judging by their determination to hurl facts and figures at you. You lose interest very soon but do they stop talking? No! Resist the temptation to engage them in a battle of words. The winner will simply be the one

who talks the longest and the loudest. Instead, keep changing the subject. Each time bring up something more and more interesting.

Domestic relationships are under a strain;

be wary of misreading them.

Try not to give anyone the wrong impression;

refrain from saying anything important.

Avoid signing any documents or agreements.

Just in case.

Are you being led up the garden path without all the facts?

You’re very vulnerable emotionally, highly sensitive to rejection even a hint of it.

You imagine you’ve been given the cold shoulder when it isn’t true.

It’s a great time for investing. If you have the money.

You’re feeling very sympathetic towards the plight of others.  You’d do your best to help anyone who's going through a bad time. 

Sometimes you might even know someone’s in trouble without them having to tell you. 

You pick it up through their mood or body language.

Remember, though, you can’t just wave a magic wand and make everything better.

If a loved one needs a shoulder you’re ready.

You’ll draw them to one side and encourage them.

You’re easily distracted and could get into a muddle.

Better take care.

Your mind is on other things.

Shy away from anything that seems too much trouble or too demanding.

There could be a mix up with an older friend or relative who isn't clear about what they expect.

What if you were to just outright ask: “What do you want from me?”

Why not put artistic talents to good use around the house? Maybe the place needs a facelift?

Nothing drastic .           

Maybe just rearrange the furniture. Change some knickknacks. Clean the curtains.

It’s difficult to handle older people with grace because such strange things are going on between you.

How do you cope with someone who is being a law unto themselves? Someone who is behaving very erratically?

It’s unsettling and irritating.

There may not be much you can do about it.

Grin and bear it.

Is that really so hard?

You’re feeling bright and bubbly. Your dark mood has entirely evaporated.

Now is the time when you should make contact

with as many people as possible. You’re in such a lively frame of mind.You’re at your most charming.

If you need to say something tactfully you should do it now.

If a duty or obligation has been getting you down you should think about how you might lighten the load or at least alter your attitude towards it.

You could try to approach things from a fresh angle and see if that makes a difference.

Who knows? Someone might even appreciate all your effort and hard work. That would be a nice surprise.

How are those career plans and long-term goals coming along?

If they've been sidelined recently, then it's time you did something about it.

On the other hand, if you’re already feeling totally bogged down by responsibilities to the detriment of your home life what you need to do instead is get things back in balance

as quickly as possible.

You’d better watch out. A certain person is in a very willful and self-centered state today. They’ll walk all over you if given half a chance. Even prepared, it will be difficult to know how to handle this for the best.

If you stand up to them you could have quite a fight on your hands, but if you let them get their own way you’ll be setting a damaging precedent. Either way, you’ be wise not to  provoke their anger unless it's inevitable because you might unleash something very powerful.

You suspect that someone thinks they're on the road to sainthood and they want everyone else to know it. They do someone a favor and then tell everyone all about it. You have to do my best to avoid the same trap.

If you do something for someone, it doesn’t mean you're the most wonderful person in the world.

The inspiration you gain from others stimulates me to physical action.

Getting things done will be more difficult to accomplish by yourself than it might be with a partner or partners.

Even if you want to be left alone, other people will find a way to physically intrude.

Other people make the first move, leaving you to react.

More than one open confrontation is in the wind, but such encounters need not be hostile if you keep my wits about me.

If you make a real effort to understand someone and get to know them better, your relationship with them will take a giant step forward.This will be true whether they’re neighbors, members of the same family, lovers or friends; you’ll benefit in many different ways as a result. But you must be prepared to be honest and open about your thoughts and feelings. No hedging your bets!

A heart to heart with a loved one could work out really well. If, that is, you're both prepared to say what we really think while still considering the other one's feelings.

But are you?

If this were the early stages of a romantic relationship, it would be a delightful day to edge closer together, whether physically, emotionally, or both.

If.

If.

If.

So many ifs.

You're suddenly showing a lot of commonsense. You should turn it to your advantage.

Could be an excellent opportunity to do some financial planning or to lay down the foundations of a money-making scheme that will grow in time. You might not be interested in anything that's risky or dodgy and it wouldn't go well even if you tried it, but you could succeed with some kind of solid, sensible scheme.

A certain person is being very idealistic . They’ve they've set their sights on something or someone that is virtually unattainable. 

If you try to tell them this they won't listen or they'll accuse you of being a spoilsport. You may have to reconcile yourself to watching them break their heart and then helping them to pick up the pieces.

You hope you're not talking about yourself here.

Guess-who isn't exactly the most pleasant companion? They're in a bad mood and they're coming out with some cutting comments that immediately put me on the defensive.

Before you lay all the blame for this at their feet, you ought to consider how you may be contributing to the situation.

Perhaps you're being sulky, provocative or equally sarcastic?

You should be careful not to get so carried away when it comes to making domestic plans.  It can be a struggle, though, to keep your feet on the ground.

First, you indulge in all sorts of wonderful flights of fancy, and then you dismiss current difficulties with an airy wave of my hand. You can be very imaginative, but you don't have to lose all sense of reality in the process!

A certain person is eaten up with curiosity that could quickly turn to suspicion. They’ll grill you with all sorts of searching questions. It's as though they've already convinced themselves that you're guilty of something and they're now looking for the proof. This is bound to put you on the defensive. It would be better if you were to ask them what game they're playing.

The atmosphere has improved dramatically, thank goodness, and you're in a very sunny and triumphant mood.

You're keen to make the best of any situation in which you find myself, and everyone around you will enjoy your optimism and bright outlook.

It's a time for having fun, especially if that means venturing fairly far afield or visiting somewhere for the first time.

Good news about loved ones over the next two weeks. The imminent arrival of a baby? An invitation to a party or wedding? You'll have some reason for breaking open the champagne and getting out your best clothes. If a love affair gets off the ground, this is the time it will make your heart sing with happiness.

Aaaah!

You asked someone's advice about money and got a disappointing reply. There might be two reasons for this. It might be because this person is talking sense and you need to listen. Unfortunately it's just as likely to be because they've developed a severe case of sour grapes that makes them want to pour cold water on your ideas and bring you down to their miserable level.            

Neither situation will be easy to deal with.

You know someone’s kidding themselves acting holier than thou.

Another dose of it today. Its amusement value

wears thin.

Who does this person think they are?

Be careful.  

Don't get sucked into competition.

You're just as wonderful.

You don't have to sink.

Do you?

It's party time!

Enjoyment is uppermost in your mind today.

You'll find any excuse to let your hair down, open a couple of bottles and whoop it up.

Ideally, you should do this with some of your favorite people because they'll help the whole thing to go with a swing. But you'll make a big effort to socialize with whoever happens to be around whether loved ones or perfect strangers.

The bold bright Moon zips into Aquarius your ninth house, bringing with it an urge for adventure and freedom.

You may want to charge off a few friends in tow and look for somewhere interesting to go.

Try a new foreign restaurant or take in a foreign film.

Perhaps it's just a matter of getting in the car and driving to the wide open spaces.

The next three weeks may bring snafus at work

and troubles with your health. Mercury

turns retrograde in your sixth house. Double check everything and get second opinions as the Winged Messenger goes astray.

This is not a good time to begin anything new.

Misunderstandings and confusion reign.

Pay attention to detail.

Make sure all the t's are crossed and the i's dotted.

You have a very open mind today making you receptive to all sorts of ideas and concepts.

You'll also enjoy exploring topics with a spiritual or mystical theme.

However, you need to keep your feet on the ground and not be persuaded into believing

what’s obviously a load of bunkum; if that happens you could be duped in some way.

This isn't a good day for trusting Lady Luck

or crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, especially when dealing with property,family matters and red tape.

If you do, you'll watch things spiral out of

control.

Instead, you must be adaptable ready to think on your feet, and also to accept that someone

may try to change the goalposts.
