Passions will run high in a romantic liaison but try not to be too pushy or you will risk ruining the amorous mood. Make sure your wishes and desires are known, but if you leave a little room for flexibility in your plans you are far more likely to get the best out of the situation. Sorting out your daily routine and schedules will not come easy as you feel disinclined to tax yourself with making too many decisions right now. With Mercury entering your opposite sign of Libra it's time to realise just how important it is to make contact and conversation with your other half.

The more time you spend in quiet contemplation the more you will be able to change the way you feel. If something has been bothering you, this is a fine time to take positive steps to improve matters. You can be honest with yourself, and express your views openly to others, so endeavour to clear the air once and for all. At present you can open up your heart and mind effortlessly in a sympathetic and gentle way, so you will not offend anyone by saying what is on your mind. Healthwise give your nerves a break but taking some time off for yourself.

You will be interested in taking on fun and entertaining projects and not intellectually demanding ones. As Mercury your ruling planet moves into your fellow air sign of Libra, activities that require concentration and concerted effort will not be high on your list of priorities. You would much rather enjoy spending time with people who are young in age or spirit so don't wait around for an invitation, be the one to organise a get-together. Channelling your talents and gifts into a practical form will be the basis of a successful enterprise or work network.

You are eager to get ahead with plans that have the potential to enhance your domestic world or career status. You are so enthusiastic about these ideas that you need to watch that this does not become a fixation so you end up flogging a dead horse. With so much mental activity it is difficult to relax, but to be at your best this is what you need to do. Chat with friends, neighbours and relatives and this will help you to unwind and bring a little balance into your life. A visitor will make their way to your door before September is through - who can it be?

Look up prospectuses, leaflets, brochures and flyers to glean fresh ideas for your future edification. You are not a person to stand still for long so now would be a good time to make some enquiries regarding interesting and mind-stretching activities or pursuits that have come to your attention. While you are in this enthusiastic frame of mind, balance up your money accounts and other financial arrangements and you will have a better idea of what you can afford to go ahead with. Socialising now will open up the door to person who could play a key role in your drama of life.

Whatever is on your mind to say to someone you will be able to do so in a considerate and thoughtful way. It does not matter what the subject is, with Mercury moving into the equitable sign of Libra, take the feelings of others into account before you launch into any conversation or disclosure. Try to keep a check on the multifarious ideas running around in your head. There is no immediate hurry to make any decisions so take your time and weigh up all your options first. This is the start of a most profitable phase in areas of commerce, merchandising, buying and selling - get your gift of the gab ready!

One of the best times for travel and study starts from today so don't let the grass grow under the feet. Mercury, essentially the planet of thought and communication, enters your sign today, and so making quick decisions is as easy as pie. Relax and think things through carefully though so you don't make any mistakes. The right answer will come to you as your mind ticks along like clockwork. Be bold and assertive with a partner or close associate if you have something to say - get it off your chest now.

Be as enterprising as you possibly can when you execute your responsibilities and duties. Put old and outworn ideas to one side as you replace them with the fresh and incisive plans that come into your mind. Friendships and social contacts alike can be especially rewarding and companionable at this time. You are able to relate to other people in a particularly amicable and equitable way, and they are likely to respond very favourably to this side of you. Your intuition is razor sharp from today.

You are in a quandary about a work or career issue and to make matters more interesting you see a vacancy for an opening that would suit you down to the ground. Question is do you go for it or not? Making up your mind on this matter is not easy so instead of trying to make a definite decision leave things in the lap of the Gods. Getting involved with a new club or group will introduce you to a younger person who could show you the way to the future and reintroduce you to something you've missed.

Enjoy participating in stimulating conversations about everything with a particular slant on your ambitions. Professional, cultural and philosophical queries will become much clearer after a confab. Steer clear of any controversial or debatable issues as you must preserve an equitable and harmonious atmosphere between you and your companions or co-workers. In your home life take the initiative put forward adventurous plans for improving your living conditions and family relationships.

An intellectually demanding encounter or conversation could effect a radical change of opinion in you. The issues under discussion could be obscure and equivocal, but by taking your time before offering opinions or views, you won't commit yourself to a flimsy ethic or ideal. Luck will come your way if you are involved in any negotiations that have an international air - the more you can network with other countries or languages the more likely your happiness and success.

A close relationship looks amicable on the surface but there is more to this affair than meets the eye. There is a psychological barrier than needs leaping over and it's linked to sex or cash - either way it is forming a blockage between you and a loved one, you can work it out over the coming weeks, if you've a mind to. Business negotiations are favourable, and any joint agreements or commitments entered into now can be successful and fortuitous. Be open and forthcoming when dealing with Government departments or people in uniform.
