Hold your horses before donating time or money to a supposedly worthwhile cause, as according to the stars there are some deceitful dealings going on. Once these are brought out into the open you won’t want to get mixed-up in the ensuing scandal, as, remember, mud sticks.

With Mars at war with Neptune avoid taking everything to extremes. Push people around and they’ll fight back. Give someone an inch and they’ll take a mile. It’s neither a day to exercise too much control or complacency but one to say nothing, do little and keep calm.

You feel as if someone is having a go at you and instead of taking it on the chin, you’re more inclined to take offence. Do your own thing if you don’t want to waste your day, as you’ll only end up being guilty by association if you get too involved with others’ lost causes.

There’s more to a situation than meets the eye and what appeared obvious becomes less clear-cut the more you learn about it. You feel someone has been acting out of hand but they can justify their actions: but you’re still not entirely convinced of their honesty - and rightly so.

A career deal or partnership plan that looked a dead cert may be called off for no apparent reason. The writing was on the wall some time ago but you failed to see what was going on behind the scenes. Open your eyes and get real to what’s actually happening around you.

Watch out for tricksters who are out to con you. Whether it’s windows, plumbing or electrical work, if thinking about commissioning the services of a builder, check their credentials before handing over the readies. The more trusting you are, the more canny you must be.

Legal and financial matters are plagued with misunderstandings. You want to bury your head in the sand when only a pragmatic approach will prevent things from deteriorating further. A man in particular is no friend of yours; all you can be is extra vigilant today.

This is not a favourable day by a long chalk. Your weird obsession with rules and regulations means you are deluding yourself into thinking you’re in control when it couldn’t be further from the truth. Any cover-ups or past misdemeanours are about to be find out.

If something goes missing or doesn’t get done, check it out and you’ll find it was your fault. Admit to your mistake as trying to hide it will only accentuate the confusion. It’s no use ducking and diving an issue you know you’ll have to face up to sooner or later.

It’s in your interest to push money matters aside. The more you try, the harder it is to sift fact from fiction and the more you find yourself questioning someone. You smell something fishy but could be sniffing a red herring - today at least - all WILL be revealed but not yet.

Keep well out of the limelight and you’ll avoid the outbreak of treachery that is currently doing the rounds. Instead, spend time with those who are in touch with their spiritual-selves as this is a day for contemplation not false adulation from deceitful people.

Your emotions are like a roller coaster as you go through thoughts or feelings based on peculiar or past experiences. This brings out your tendency to use illness as a mask to get out of doing something you don’t want to do when all you are doing is prolonging the agony.
