A surprise encounter will leave you excited at the prospects in store. Watch out mid morning for an emotional rebuff coming from someone you thought was a help but they are more of a hindrance. This afternoon onwards is excellent for business matters.

Tuesday has strong financial tones. Undertones strike a difficult chord this morning when demands are made on you. Check the paperwork before coughing up. A much more harmonious cash tune is played from this afternoon when a golden opportunity arrives.

There’s an air of excitement around you Tuesday. But don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched this morning. A person feeds you with ideas that are more ridiculous than sublime. This afternoon brings more reliable and stable stars into your orbit.

You are likely to get out of bed the wrong side this morning. A problem with a woman concerns you but don’t take it out on others. You’ll feel so much more in control later on in the day. You’re more able to deal with the highly charged emotions then.

As a Leo you don’t like being bossed around. This morning you might have to bite your lip as you hate being told what to do. By this afternoon the boot will be on the other foot and you will be called upon to put right what someone got wrong earlier on.

Having to cope with peoples’ egos isn’t easy at the best of times and this morning isn’t the best of times. Take eve-rything in your stride and all will be well. After noon the stars turn in your favour. Professionally you’ll knock rivals into a cocked hat.

Anything to do with travel early on is fated to cause you headaches and dismay. You’re best off leaving a journey until later in the day to avoid traffic or delays. Most importantly check your own transport for problems before you set off on the road.

Underlying emotions rise to the surface this mor-ning. Jealousy, envy, manipulation you name it and many obsessive te-ndencies are thrown into a complex equation. Thankfully this afterno-on you can sort many of your problems out as a result of simple logic.

Your relationships founder under a welter of moods and power-play this morning. If you want to live happily ever after then you must put your other half’s feelings before your own. This afternoon you’re a dab-hand at business deals and negotiations.

You are slightly down mentally and physically below par in the morning so don’t do anything you don’t have to do. Leave important matters until after three when you’re much more up to tackling health or work issues. Listen to the voice of experience.

A conflict with a hotheaded child who think they know better makes you mad this morning. Let them stew in their own juice and don’t give them the pleasure of rising to their juvenile bait. A creative enterprise is given welcome backing this afternoon.

The family are at odds with one another this morn-ing. You won’t be able to make sense or headway until later on in the day. Allow your head to rule your heart for so long as reason prevai-ls all will be well. If decorating go for blacks, whites and greys.
