Find the things that both you and your partner find mental engaging and interesting and talk about them!

Your underlying philosophy about health corresponds to your self-esteem. It's the little things that matter.

By tomorrow make your answers yes!. This is a day for celebrating all that you have to be thankful for, Taurus, as it is an important time for gratitude and appreciation.

Spend time among nature, especially at night looking at the stars if you are lucky enough to have clear skies. Star-gazing can be particularly therapeutic and relaxing for you, keeping your energies warm and balanced.
You tend to deal with confusion by ignoring it. You are naturally territorial, and confusion does not mix well with your instincts! Going deeper into yourself is a necessary practice for someone with your nature.

The day's planetary energy can be of great benefit to you. The aspect at play asks you what you need to feel good, and helps you by highlighting the areas in life that matter to your health. The planets do not lie. They may make you see the world through rose-colored glasses at times, but they can also give you the facts of the matter in easy to understand terms. For instance: diet and exercise? Water as an element of life?. This is a positive time for gathering your bearings and making sense of all that has confused you lately, Virgo. The astrological significance of this day brings you a strong sense of determination and a desire to tie up loose ends. Don't be disheartened by things that don't pan out the way you initially expect. Always expect the unexpected; this also helps you move further out of your comfort zone, which can be debilitating without you realizing it at times. Try and drink plenty of fluids such as oat and nut milks, spring water and teas such as black, oolong and goldentea.
Your creative efforts are beginning to show fruit, and this is cause for celebration. However, do not begin to neglect the regimented program you have been trying to follow regarding diet and exercise. Now more than ever it is important to keep the internal pathways open - physically and energetically. At least three times a week you must exercise your body to let fresh energy bubble forth and old energy recycle on through the universe. You are aware of being part of something larger - act like it!. Being at one with yourself and the world is highly on the agenda, Libra. This is a high energy day for you today but it is important for you to retain a sense of peace and balance within yourself so you don't feel as if you're going off the rails. Spending time with loved ones and having deep discussions can be very healing for you; spring into action when it comes to your hobbies and enjoyments, but be sure to keep a balance between your thoughts and emotions. If you feel one or the other spiralling out of control, close your eyes and count backwards from one hundred until you feel rebalanced again. The more practice with this, the more effective it will be.
Whether it's your job, your relationship, your family or your dreams for the future, you will feel the need to resolve or at least clarify deep issues right now. Be careful when doing this, as you may feel the urgency more than others who are involved. Focus this "getting to the bottom of it" energy on yourself, and benefit from the rigorous activity it demands. Your own body might benefit if you can turn your mental energy into physical exercise. With focus, it can be done.. Watch out for your ego today, Scorpio, as feelings of resentment or obsessiveness with a person or issue may rise to the surface. It is important to you to have a hold on your emotions today so practicing some strong grounding work is essential for you. Words can sting and you possess a sting that is particularly potent. Practice mindfulness and gratitude in order to soften your sometimes hard shell and use your powers of empathy to help keep you focused on all that truly matters to you. Listening to soothing meditation music is highly recommended and can keep you feeling stable and secure, promoting greater peace and wellness.
Today's planetary alignment can make you feel a little slowed down. You may not be comfortable with the way things feel in your head these days. Something is off - and you can't seem to identify the source. This "creepy" feeling needs to be handled with gentle attention. Ground yourself with deep breathing exercises - at a yoga studio or at home - especially close to bedtime. Your sleep can be affected adversely, so take care to exercise enough to make you tired for bedtime.. This is a positive time for getting things done, Sagittarius, so it is not a day for being too laidback; instead it is a day for energy, high action and being positive about your endeavours as much can be accomplished today if your energy is directed towards the right tasks. Fruits such as dragon fruit, passion fruit, grapes, plums, pears and apples are all highly recommended for you at this time; sugary snacks are too your detriment and it is best to cut down on these or cut them out entirely. You benefit from hot baths and massages which you can treat yourself too, especially if you find yourself on your feet all day or highly active! A wind-down activity is highly recommended for a good night's sleep.
A deep sense of "knowing" pervades you, and yet you aren't going to be satisfied with this alone. Stay on top of your game with exercise and eating a light, balanced diet. Avoid eating excessive amounts of bread and other carbohydrates. Fish, salad and legumes are good things to eat right now. Consume plenty of water and get plenty of rest. While you are enforcing this kind of discipline in your physical life, your mental and emotional life may "take off.". Today is a good day to focus on your skeletal structure, Capricorn, which may be somewhat vulnerable today. Ensure to eat plenty of calcium and get enough movement in your routine so you are not stagnant for too long. It is also good to remain calm and composed today, as you may be feeling more fiery than usual. Crystals such as sodalite and fluorite can help you remain calm and focused on things that are important to you and not engage in petty conflicts. Stay away from alcohol as this is in detriment to your sign; instead, kombucha and any types of tea are recommended for you.
Your creative efforts are beginning to show fruit, and this is cause for celebration. However, do not begin to neglect the regimented program you have been trying to follow regarding diet and exercise. Now more than ever it is important to keep the internal pathways open - physically and energetically. At least three times a week you must exercise your body to let fresh energy bubble forth and old energy recycle on through the universe. You are aware of being part of something larger - act like it!. Today you may feel more mentally alert and physically robust than usual, Aquarius, so it's time to focus on your passions. Tempers may flare somewhat today so it's important to keep your cool in fractious situations and keep plodding on with your goals. You may struggle with focus if your mind is bouncing all over the place, so it is good for you to have a set plan and routine for you to focus on at this time. Writing down your plans can be very helpful in helping you retain focus; eating brain-power foods such as oily fish and turmeric are also wonderful in keeping you grounded and mentally agile.
A feeling of peace or contentedness is available to you now and though you might not know the source, it feels "a long time coming." Typically, it's possible for you to go about finding the source of this feeling in what others might call a "backwards" approach. Begin a discipline now of healthy practices. A diet of light foods and plenty of water along with physical activities might reveal to you the source of this peaceful feeling.. This is a positive time for you to focus on your passions and hobbies, Pisces, as you may be feeling full of energy and positivity today. It is not a time for doing little, but a time to reach for your aspirations! Spending time with others who have similar goals as yourself is highly recommended as this can also provide inspiration for you and your creative energies are particularly high for you today. Taking inspiration from historical figures or moments in history that inspire and elate you are highly recommended for you as these can help your creative juices flow even more and help you feel elevated and propel you towards joyful and fulfilling experiences.
Other people are likely to try to talk you into some grand scheme that they have brewing. Do not be fooled. It is very unlikely that this big idea is going to materialize as planned. What seems like nothing but talk is exactly that. It's a tense time for you. Your closest relationships are fully supportive of the goals you've set for yourself, particularly those involving your financial picture, and your career is expanding. So much is going on in your life now that you may feel overwhelmed, underpaid, and underappreciated. Rest as much as you can. It’s going to be difficult to figure out where you stand with someone today, Aries, so if you’re engaged with anyone in a professional matter know that you need to tread carefully right now, at least if you don’t want to sink the ship, that is. The intuitive Moon is moving through Cancer and your 4th House of home and family, which can make you a little more emotional than most transits. This is normally a fine time to nest and rest, but today the Sun in Libra and your 7th House of one-on-one partnerships and legal contracts will form a tense square to la Luna. Perhaps discussions with a partner reach a boiling point and leave you holding back tears, or a contract keeps getting revised over and over without any clear results. Try to back off and take care of yourself today, Aries; you can focus on money matters in a few days.
Whether you are on the clock today or not, you will find yourself window-shopping for work-related gadgets and tools. You can't help but look for things that will make your workday go much more efficiently. Feel free to make a purchase. Though your mind is on both travel and learning at this time, furthering your education may be the better bet. Certification classes can bring more cash flow and establish you as a force in your particular industry. Meanwhile, you're urged to focus more on how you can expand your client base. Sales of goods and services depend on it. To go out and play or get down to work? There is going to be a bit of conflicting energy in the stars overhead so it wouldn’t be all that surprising if you find yourself trying to straddle these two options. The intuitive Moon is moving through Cancer and your busy 3rd House of local communities and friendships, so it’s more than possible you’re going to be in high demand today, bounding from one place to another with a cool coterie in tow. Well, that’s all fun and games until work calls your name; the primal Sun is currently moving through Libra and your efficient 6th House of work and wellness, so Monday is ready and waiting to get started, regardless of anything more fun on the horizon. If work obligations throw a wrench in your plans for the day just breathe and accept it for what it is; Taurus knows how to put the pedal to the metal so under this energy your work should be worth it.
Be selective with whom you share your secrets. Others will want the information you have but this doesn't mean you need to give it to them. This is important whether you find yourself at work or not. Gossip of any kind will lead to trouble. You may have the market cornered on the hospitality and event planning industries, but this week the Universe is asking you to branch out and use your skills in a new way. There's tension between your family and romantic life and your debt sector. Spending may have become more than your budget can handle recently. This is wreaking havoc with your long-term plans. Cut back accordingly. Work or play, Gemini? Well, which is it going to be? You’re probably not sure yourself thanks to the conflicting beams in the stars overhead. The intuitive Moon is moving through Cancer and your 2nd House of earned income and material possessions, so even if other people have their eye on enjoying themselves, you’re still in the mood to make today count. That’s fantastic and I’m glad you’re experiencing so much positive drive, but that firepower is about to get checked by the primal Sun in Libra and your pleasure-loving 5th House of fun and romance. Rolling up your sleeves and getting to work might happen for part of the day, but you might be removing more articles of clothing before you know it thanks to a certain someone pulling your attention away from your finances. Enjoy the pleasure cruise for what it is, Gemini, and get back to work in a few days.
The momentum that has been building all week hits a climax on this day whether you are at work or not. Regardless of where you are, stress from work-related issues is still with you. Do your best to not let this stress ruin your weekend. There are some issues in your home, where you're just dying to spend. From wanting a larger space to engaging in improvements, it's crucial to determine in advance what you can afford. You'll want to entertain and impress those with whom you do business. Don't worry. All of it comes in due time. First do the work and then reap the rewards. Don’t push yourself too hard today, Cancer, because that’s the surest way to burn out. The intuitive Moon is moving through your sign and your 1st House of self-expression and action; this transit can give us a lot of drive but it can also make us a lot more sensitive than normal, so trying to plow away at some projects may not be the simples thing, especially since the Sun and Moon are going to be causing a ruckus in the cosmic arena. The primal Sun is currently moving through Libra and your foundational 4th House of home and family. With so much going on in your emotional zones you’re not going to really feel like yourself–yes, you have emotions Cancer, and they’re bubbling up today. Check out from any hard work endeavors and focus on self-care right now because you need it and you deserve it. You can make it rain in a few days, okay?
Engage in high-intensity exercise this morning. Use this as a personal cleanse to get out any anger or tension that is left over from the workweek. Doing so will help clear the air so that you can fully enjoy your time off this weekend. So much is going on in your working life that you may have to guard against becoming rundown or overwhelmed. The opportunities are there, though, to build your own little empire. Your influence broadens over groups, so make sure your message is polished and ready to go. Money follows when you're true to who you are and what you want to say. It could be a little difficult to tell whether you’re coming or going today, Leo. The stars are coming together in a way that will leave you more than a little unsure of yourself as well as the people you interact with, but this is a temporary transit so don’t let any curve balls throw you for a complete loop. The intuitive Moon is moving through Cancer and your 12th House of the subconscious, so you’re going to have a rather difficult time reading your own emotions, not to mention that life can feel more than a little nebulous at this time. Throughout the day the Sun will reach out from Libra and your 3rd House of communications to form a tense square to la Luna, so words could wound under such a transit. Hold your tongue and try not to engage with anyone who you don’t trust; there’s no room for unsupportive people on team Leo.
Your mind is clear and sharp, but every once in a while, you get lost in a dream world and can't seem to find your way back to reality. Don't pressure yourself to step down to reality at this time. Instead, you should take this time to dream. You're not just dreaming up the next great invention, you're figuring out how to build it and finance its manufacture. You're also considering how to get some of your best financial ideas into print by writing an article or book. You have something important to share, so don't sell yourself short. What you put forward now yields favorable rewards for your family later. To get down to work or go out and play? You might feel the urge to do both today, and chances are you can figure out a way to make both happen if you just play your cards right. It’s Monday morning and the week is kicking off with a bang thanks to la Luna moving through Cancer and your outgoing 11th House of social groups and global communications. With such busy energy in the sky above you’ll be only too happy to spend the day partying with friends and seeing what activities you can discover beyond your own backyard. Work might come calling your name, however, as the Moon forms a tense square to the primal Sun in Libra and your 2nd House of earned income and material possessions. Roll up your sleeves and check off any boxes you need to, Virgo; chances are these projects will be well worth the effort, even if they do require a little more effort than you’d like.
People are talking about things that you simply have no interest in. Don't try to jump in the conversation just to try to prove that you do indeed have an interest. Your time and energy is better spent elsewhere. Do whatever YOU want to do. Think about how to save and invest your hard-earned cash as well as how to bring in more cash overall. Spending a few minutes each day to study IRAs, 401Ks, and other investment vehicles makes you a financial winner in the end. Not that you weren't already, of course. You may have more tied up in your home than you realize. Monday is here and while you might have some exciting plans brewing on the backburner I want you to try and make today really count on the work front, Virgo, because chances are your effort will be well worth it. The intuitive Moon is moving through Cancer and you ambitious 10th House of career goals and professional success, so even if it is your day off you’re still ready to hit the ground running. This vibration receives an extra boost of energy thanks to a very strong beam from the primal Sun, currently parked in YOUR sign and your 1st House of self-expression and action. The Moon is on her monthly tour of your professional sector, while the Sun is doing the same on his annual tour of Libra, making you the celestial favorite du jour, so make this cycle count! It’ll be hard for people to miss you on a day like today, just be careful not to push them out of the way during your ascent to the top.
You are feeling good and are happy to spread this feeling to others. Your spirit is high and you are getting along with everyone. Whether you are at work or not, now is the time to make important contacts with the people around you. You're in a phase of redefinition now. People may have gotten used to you playing a certain type of role in their lives, which hasn't been the best for your financial life. No matter. You're more beautiful and magnetic, and there's lots of luck in your house of communication. You may find that the more you're seen and heard, the more you can get your financial needs met. The planets are giving you the day off, Scorpio, so even if you have work to do you’ve got cosmic clearance to let your mind wander because your mind is going to be going just about each and every direction if you let it. The intuitive Moon is bounding her way through Cancer and your adventurous 9th House of foreign cultures and travel, so you’re going to be thinking about far off vistas rather than the money in your bank account. You could use this transit to try and dream up some new ways to earn money, but chances are you’re not going to really feel up to the task as the Moon forms a tense square to the primal Sun in your sleepy 12th House of the subconscious. While the Sun is moving through this part of your chart it can be very difficult to muster your inner strength when you really need it; just accept today for what it is and look forward to a fun week.
You will continue to be surprised as the events of the day unfold. You can't expect anything to turn out as you have planned. Put all work and all thoughts about work aside and truly let yourself go with the flow. Be spontaneous. You're facing a time of financial decisions. Your moneymaking endeavors are expanding and helping you bring in more than ever. You may be so busy, in fact, that you don't have time for friends and social contacts. You may need to strike a balance between work and money responsibilities and the need to blow off steam every once in a while. You've certainly earned it. Things could get a little, uh, intense today, Sagittarius. As far as money-making ventures go you’re not entirely screwed, but people are not going to be as supportive as normal so I’d recommend working away at things on your own then holding off on your big reveal next week if not later. The reason for this is that the Moon is currently moving through Cancer and your secretive 8th House of security and major finances, so it wouldn’t at all be a bad day to either get your spending in order or search for more ways to increase your net worth. Despite this don’t go around asking just ANYONE for their opinion or input; la Luna will square off against the primal Sun, currently in Libra and your 11th House of social groups, so it looks like people won’t be as positive as you might like. Don’t worry, this is only temporary so they will be wowed by you soon enough.
Socializing with others in an easy-going and relaxed atmosphere will bring you the most enjoyment out of this day. Talking about work and being able to laugh at yourself and the events of the week will help heal any stress that has accumulated. You know what you want, financially speaking, and are putting together a foolproof plan to help you achieve these goals. Aspects are facilitating new achievements in this area of your life, and you're feeling more confident than ever. But merely having a large personality may not be the best way to get others on your side. Strike a balance between making your case and listening to what co-workers have to say. There’s going to be a bit of a conflicting mood to the day, Capricorn, and it looks like you’re going to be caught in the middle of it. The intuitive Moon is in the midst of her monthly tour of Cancer and your 7th House of one-on-one relationships and legal contracts, orienting your attention to the status quo partnerships in your life. This is generally a great time to make sure everything is on the up-and-up and perhaps even join forces with someone else to make it rain, but today you might be more concerned with your own career trajectory rather than anyone else’s. The reason for this is that throughout the day the Sun in Libra and your 10th House of career goals and professional success will send out a distracting beam to la Luna. It might be difficult to decide whether to pursue your own agenda or follow a partner’s guidance; try to find a middle ground or remove yourself from any situations where you feel you can’t be impartial.
Helping others is key to ultimately helping yourself. Do good deeds. Take time out to assist others without asking for anything in return. The good karma you build for yourself through this process will be extremely valuable in the weeks to come. This week you're planning how you can arrange some time off from the grind in order to rejuvenate. Activity in your house of travel, education, metaphysics, and languages asks that you bolster your existing skills in one or more of these areas. You may find that you have a hidden skill, perhaps left over from a previous incarnation. Work what you have for maximum profit. Other people simply don't have your unique mix of abilities. Time to get down to work or follow your fantasies off into the great big yonder? There’s going to be a bit of a conflicting mood thanks to today’s distracting square between the intuitive Moon and the primal Sun. La Luna is moving through Cancer and your 6th House of health and work, urging you to hone your focus on the finer details of life and make sure everything is in order as you start a fresh work week. Well, it might be all well and good and you might be full of good intentions, but when the Sun steps into the picture in the morning your plans for premium efficiency are going to take a bit of a hit. Instead of going through your account books you’d rather browse travel blogs and plan your next big getaway. You’re normally so on top of yourself so why not take today to let yourself daydream? You can get back to making money in a few days, Aquarius.
Your spirited nature is highlighted even though you are moving through a rather rough period overall. Being able to maintain a sense of humor about everything, including your work situation, is especially important thought this difficult time. You may be considering how to achieve long-held hopes and dreams. Friends, social contacts, political maneuvering, and appealing to larger groups helps you get a leg up and establish yourself as an expert in your field. As you expand your influence in these realms, do all you can to preserve shared investments and property. If need be, spend to maintain or improve until you can sell these outright. There is some rather conflicting energy in the sky today, Pisces, so don’t be surprised if you’re having a hard time deciding where your intentions lie. The intuitive Moon is moving through Cancer and your outgoing 5th House of fun and creativity, so you’re probably in the mood to enjoy yourself and leave more serious things like financial matters for another time. Well, that’s all well and good but a distracting beam from the primal Sun could sideline any plans for fun and instead force you to sit down with all your account information and make sure every penny is accounted for. The Sun is currently bounding through Libra and your security-minded 8th House of financial matters, so the Moon’s vibrant mood will be rather at odds with this very serious energy. Whether you lean into the transit or try and resist it just know that whatever comes your way will eventually move on, so remember to breathe if things get a little too intense.
