Are you coming on too strong? Wield power from behind the scenes today in smart and subtle ways. Being an iron fist in a velvet glove is better than scaring people away with your Scorpio intensity. Attached Archers, do something exciting and adventurous with your partner. Single Sagittarians, a long-term platonic friendship could suddenly take a surprisingly romantic turn. You are an expert at multi-tasking, but try to complete current projects before you launch the next batch. With Saturn visiting your solitude zone, it’s also time for some serious contemplation. All types of travel are favoured, Aquarius, as you extend your usual horizons and venture into exciting new territory. Study, education and social networking will also expand your world today. Do your best to stay grounded today, Pisces. Also, channel your compassion and creativity into projects that lead to practical outcomes. Resist the urge to overspend with cash and/or credit. The stars boost your independent streak, and fire up your desire for freedom and adventure. However, they also stir up your brusque and bossy side, so strive to be a diplomatic daredevil today. When it comes to a romantic or platonic relationship problem, clear communication is the key to a satisfactory outcome. Don’t make a snap decision today. Take your time and think things through. Don’t allow yourself to be bored. A curious and proactive approach will add plenty of sparkle and pizzazz to your day. Also, make sure you get some exercise, preferably outdoors in the fresh air. When it comes to work and business matters, don’t play it too safe. If you hesitate for too long then you will miss lucky opportunities when they come along, often from the most unexpected places. Curious Cats are in the mood to study, learn, travel, explore and communicate, especially via social media. However, if you post a hasty comment, you may regret your impulsiveness later on. Virgos are such perfectionists, but things won’t run according to your schedule today. If you adapt to changing circumstances — and accept disruptions with good grace — then you’ll manage just fine. Luxury-loving Venus is visiting your sign, which can increase overindulgence and laziness. Relaxing and having fun is fine, as long as you’ve completed urgent jobs and important tasks first.
