Expenses are linked with increased responsibility. Even if you aren’t exactly living beyond your means, it would be wise to start looking after the pennies and cutting back in everyday spending. With Saturn square the Sun you can’t afford to be profligate.

The Sun/Saturn square is a heavy number for you to bear. People are unsympathetic to your personal plight. An older person or bureaucrat could come to the rescue but first you must prove you’re worth the risk. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Commands, demands and instructions come at you from all directions. You’re expected to know about everything including the small print, so to be on the safe side, check you’ve heard right and consult documents if you cannot remember data or details.

Time-wasting projects and consultations lead nowhere. Pedantic people spend too much time dotting I’s and crossing T’s and that means you are delayed on all fronts. Conscientiousness leads to a failure to delegate which is at the root of the problem.

A joint venture needs a detached and objective approach. You care strongly about an issue but others don’t necessarily share your same strong feelings. Try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and be more explicit about your own and other folks’ duties.

The acceleration that takes place on the job front has a big impact on your personal life. Further changes are possible but take stock of the situation as a whole, before committing yourself absolutely. Don’t take any chances when dealing with bureaucracy.

A promise is a promise so be sure to keep your word even if your feelings about something have completely changed. An emotional issue needs to be resolved. Push it into the background and it will only resurface later so sort it out before it plagues you.

If your spouse or partner is depressed and takes it out on you, don’t feel guilty or blame yourself. With the powerful link between the Sun and Saturn there are many things you both have to work out, which could stem from your upbringing or parents.

You aren’t in control of your tongue especially when discussing work-related issues. If a slovenly person has cut one too many corners then you’ll be the one to suffer. In future be sure they go through the proper channels and follow a correct code of conduct.

Is this a good day? Much depends on how you handle a friend or lover. Treat their ideas with enthusiasm and deal with their problems with understanding and you’ll get on fine but cut them out or play hard to get and you’ll be the one who’s sorry.

Your heart is set on achieving a personal goal but you are thwarted and frustrated by old fogies. With the Sun and Saturn at odds in the heavens you are bound by people who display perfect dog-in-a-manger traits. They use it by blocking your progress.

Discussions, negotiations and interviews will go well if you refuse to allow emotions to diffuse logic. Where things may fall flat is when your thoughts are elsewhere and you fail to concentrate on the business to hand. Keep your eye on the ball, dear.
