Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Put more thought into the changes you want to make before you proceed. Make sure that your emotions aren’t overriding your practicality and common sense. Channel your energy where it will benefit you most and help bring in more cash, peace of mind and opportunities. When dealing with personal and professional relationships, trust facts, not hearsay.
