You will be busier than usual, and this may include having to make several short journeys, phone call and e-mails. This will be demanding, but it is not all work though as your desires and passions lead you to seek liaisons of a more romantic kind - what do you expect with the two planets of amour in a close conjunction. Your affections may be fervently aroused, but try to approach your amour in a relaxed and placid manner, as this is most likely to arouse their interest. Being too ebullient will merely have the opposite effect.

As the Moon moves into you sign today it indicates your inherent need for security may be especially pronounced. This could manifest in one of two ways. Perhaps it might work through your emotions, in which case you may find yourself acting a little domineeringly towards the people you care about. On the other hand, it is possible that you will concentrate your energies and efforts upon your material possessions and finances. Either way, calm deliberation is the key to success.

You are like a human aphrodisiac with Venus and Mars conjunct in your sign. Feelings of hot passion and romantic restlessness could abound, so try to arrange your schedule to allow time for socialising. Being with other people, conversing with them and enjoying their company may be the best way to appease any disquietude. Close personal relationships could also be very satisfying, and provide you with the desire and intimate companionship you are looking for. This is not a time to sit quietly at home, so get out and mingle with others ­ you'll certainly feel much happier if you do.

Career and professional concerns could be somewhat testing, so all your powers of diligence will be called for. The Moon moves into zodiac zone of the future, and this suggests that the best course of action is not to be too impetuous, but to take time to weigh up all sides of an issue before coming to a firm and determined decision. In this way, when you do act, it will have authority and conviction, so that others will sit up and take notice. A time to draw close to true friends and to stick up for them come what may.

It is your personal ambitions that concern you the most at the present time, and you can actively work towards them. It is possible that you will want to incorporate other people into your plans, as your team spirit is especially pronounced. Joint undertakings are very rewarding now, and this enjoyment of camaraderie will spill over into your personal life. Here, friendship and love are intermingled, bringing you much joy and satisfaction. Socially, you are the life and soul of the party ­ so mix and associate with others.

The desire to achieve and accomplish the goals you set yourself is extremely strong, and impels you onwards. You are prepared to work hard and long towards this aim, and in fact will probably very much enjoy it, but be careful that you do not neglect the other areas of your life in the process. Take time to meet other people ­ perhaps from different walks of life, or immerse yourself in a spiritual or philosophical subject. The break from your usual routine will do you good.

You could feel a strong affinity to another person with Venus' hot link to Mars, and this will be a very illuminating even sexy experience. They may bring fresh ideas and views to your attention, and through doing so, open your mind to vast areas of previously unexplored knowledge and erudition. Whether or not this relationship has the potential to have romantic overtones, this encounter will make you feel truly alive and spirited. Social contacts will thus bring you much pleasure, and your affections will be electrified.

Your intimate relationships will be very intense and deep, and you will find that sexual attraction can be very strong. If you are in a close relationship, then this can be a wonderful and exhilarating time, when you are both captivated by each other's presence. Should a new relationship begin under the present planetary configurations, then it holds the promise of being an intense and exciting association, and perhaps one that will really have a profound influence upon your life from now on.

Working within a close partnership will be very rewarding, as understanding and co-operation here is high. Whether it is with a close friend, marriage or business partner, this is an excellent time to air any little niggles or minor irritations that have been bothering you, as they can be easily and harmoniously dealt with today. Should you enter a new joint endeavour, it is likely to prove successful. This being so, it would be a good day to commence a business arrangement, or a shared financial commitment.

As the earthy Moon promotes careful deliberation before any decisions are reached you will seek quiet reflective times today. Once you have things clear in your mind, you will be able to discuss any practical matters, or tentative problems that you want to resolve within your close relationships. It is indeed important to you to feel you are getting things done, but at the same time, do not let it blind you to the fun side of your relationship ­ be creative ­ do something completely different together to add a sensual nuance to your affair.

The innovative and creative side of your nature is accentuated and so you will want to do something exciting and different. You may choose to express this within some form of artistic occupation that you enjoy, or perhaps more likely, it is through your close relationships that you will find fulfilment. You may experience an intense attraction, or perhaps someone will be compulsively, sexually attracted o you. Either way, finding an outlet for your feelings and passions will be the motivating factor of the day.

You will derive a great deal of pleasure and peace of mind through your contact with the familiar things in you daily life. Your possessions and belongings assume a deepening importance, and you may find yourself reflecting on certain of the happy and cherished memories they invoke. In your personal life, the warmth and security you share with your partner can now be even more expansive, or you may meet someone who will introduce you to some new and exciting experiences.
