HOROSCOPE

Born today, you are determined to achieve balance in your life between your strong desire for professional achievement and your deeply rooted need for personal contentment. You recognise that it would be quite easy to sacrifice one for the other, and you look upon the experiences of others as cautionary tales, warning you against the excesses of being too dedicated to work. You are capable of having both a rich and satisfying family life and a lucrative career. You also understand that each can inform the other as you work to balance the two. Without family, work becomes meaningless to you; without work, you cannot live the kind of family life you so desire and so you will always keep these two essential aspects of your life in careful equilibrium.

You can be quite emotional, but you will learn how to keep from hurting yourself or others when your feelings roil unexpectedly to the surface. Like so many Scorpio natives, you will learn to use those emotions in your daily life, especially in your work, where personal investment can really pay off.

Someone you know well is willing to show you the ropes today, and very soon you'll get the hang of things and be able to progress.

You can be both creative and pragmatic today; it all depends on just how much headway you expect to make when addressing a certain issue.

Once you get started, you'll have no trouble advancing at a pace that satisfies you and your boss. But getting started isn't easy today!

You'll have trouble justifying what is required of you today — but why justify it? Simply get it done as quickly as possible!

You may wonder if someone has asked you to break the rules in some way, but you can be sure that he or she had no such intention in mind.

You'll receive an announcement that has you balanced between elation and disappointment today. A friend offers a dose of realism.

You may have to show someone something unpleasant about himself to effect the change that is desired by both of you at this time.

You can anticipate coming events with remarkable clarity and accuracy today. There is some information you'll want to keep to yourself.

You can't avoid the financial issues that have been hounding you any longer; you must address them if you're going to put them to rest.

You're eager to add a little spice to the proceedings today, but take care you don't offend someone who doesn't know what you're up to.

You're eager to explore the potential offered by a new relationship that is just taking shape but don't move too quickly today!

The more realistic you are about a current situation, the more likely you will be able to solve it before the deadline. Follow the rules today.
