Why try to convince your partner to do something that is contrary to their moral principles? You could do irreparable damage to your relationship if you carry on in a self-centred way. Things are strained enough. If you really want to affect change, begin with yourself. That way you cannot be accused of manipulation.

Don't be afraid to admit you have outgrown a series of dull responsibilities; there's no harm in being ambitious. The best way to prepare yourself for success is to sharpen your skills. The Sun's difficult angle to the Moon causes your ego to chafe, but you'll do fine if you keep your goals clearly in focus.

Someone who likes to challenge your authority occupies your thoughts, but don’t take their remarks as a personal attack. It's possible that this person is sexually attracted to you. If you decide to embark on a love affair proceed with caution for the Sun's angle to the Moon suggests there's a rocky road ahead.

You can't expect your mate to carry out traditions that have no meaning to them, so don’t make it an issue. If you want to forge a meaningful partnership, try spending more time together and create your own habits and familiar patterns - it’s called bonding. Don’t be tempted to rush things, carve out a mutual niche.

The Sun makes a tense angle to the emotive Moon, causing your ego to flare up. This makes working within a team particularly difficult as you want to be top dog. Just remember you don't have to pull rank in order to force people to work. Folks will be willing to help you when you give them the respect they deserve.

Don't expect to get any favours with regard to money; you're going to have to finance a big purchase on your own. Is your desire for social status getting in the way of your financial security? If so, maybe you should think about conserving your resources instead. You can't be too careful when with the current planetary pattern.

Personal matters have ground to a halt, causing you to feel frustrated and scared. Don’t dwell on these disappointments. Sometimes the best way to force a change is to readjust your focus. Go for a massage or take a long nature walk. Things won't seem so hopeless when you break out of your cycle of worry.

The Moon plays tricks on your subconscious today so you tend to make mountains out of a molehills. The more you allow petty disappointments trip you up, the less likely you will be able to meet your goals. Think back on people who have faced far greater obstacles in the past. Does that put things into perspective for you?

Be especially tactful with friends and family as contempt and familiarity make for an ugly confrontation. You can't afford to alienate the ones you love right now. If someone makes a remark that seems silly or unjustified, let it slide, after all, nobody is perfect. Not even you.

You can't afford to lock horns with authority figures, no matter how justified you think you are. A little humility will take you farther than you've ever imagined. Though your peers may express disbelief at your mild behaviour, they'll come to see the wisdom of your ways. Don’t glory in an I-told-you-so attitude.

You no longer feel confident about your station in life. Don't bother trying to suppress your emotions right now. Being honest with yourself is the fastest way to find your true path again. Actually, there's something wonderfully liberating about being indecisive, as it you can still have the best of both worlds.

Don't make the mistake of borrowing money or a cherished possession from a friend, or you could be inviting trouble. The Sun/Moon square could make it difficult for you to fulfil responsibilities now. You're better off doing without life's little luxuries until a more favourable time to indulge comes along.
