Aquarius Jan 21–Feb 19

Virgo Aug 23–Sept 22

You may be too busy dealing with aspects of your personal life to concentrate fully on work today. However, this doesn’t mean less job satisfaction. Simply that the sight of an empty house, without all that mess, could leave you feeling a little bit icky inside.
