Someone’s spending habits is a source of conflict now, but a compromise is feasible. It's even possible that an argument serves as a prelude to sorting out more intimate issues. There's nothing like a good fight to clear the air. Take care not to be hurtful in your remarks or a lingering resentment could build.

Don’t be jealous of your mate’s best friend or you'll create a most unhealthy dynamic in your relationship. It's hard not to feel resentful when powerful Pluto sends negative vibes to Venus, your ruling planet. Meeting this challenge is one of the most important feats you'll accomplish all year. Hang in there!

You can't afford to take your health for granted especially with the kind of planetary build-up you’re experiencing. Put a stop to dietary habits that make you feel sluggish and nervy. You wouldn't want to fall short of your career goals, especially now things seem to be heating up for you. Treat your body right.

Keep a blossoming relationship a secret until you are sure about your feelings for one another. The Venus/Pluto square prompts busybodies to come out in full force. However the up-front Mars link makes it clear that if your affair is right and true then it will come through all kinds of pressures or provocations.

Don't believe rumours about someone in your social circle; they're the product of the envy culture. You'll do yourself a tremendous favour by suspending judgement until you've had a conversation with the victim: then you can speak as you find. After all, you’d want the same consideration? Fairness and justice speaks volumes.

A usually harmonious relationship could become contentious. Steer clear of controversial topics like religion, money and in-laws. If you do end up in a fight, go ahead and apologise. Sometimes the fastest way to mend a rift is to look at a situation from someone else's point of view then you can see where they’re coming from.

An fixated person will try to undermine your career prospects; do your best to protect your work from prying eyes. You can't be too careful now that Venus is in such demand in the heavens. At any rate, trust only yourself. Even your worst enemies can appear benevolent under a transit like you have today.

Resist the urge to take a small financial risk, no matter how promising it appears on paper. You're better off putting your resources toward long-term investments. Why is it so difficult for you to plan for the future? Being prepared is half the battle in life. Stop short-changing yourself; the best is yet to be!

Social obligations are bound to drain you of energy; feel free to cancel a few engagements that don't grab you. You can't have a good time when you feel exhausted or listless. Venus's transit through your fourth house turns you into a wee homebody but be prepared to face an inquisition from a suspicious relative.

A volunteer organisation will pressure you into assuming more duty than you can handle. Don't fall for a sob story. Venus's tense angle to Pluto never fails to turn folks into martyrs. If push comes to shove, you can always donate your time elsewhere. There's no point in killing yourself for less than a good cause.

Your willingness to help out in every situation wins favour with an influential person. Don't be surprised if you're handed a promotion quite suddenly. Venus's positive aspect to Mars promises a wonderful day to make headway into areas that were previously blocked to you. Go ahead...press your luck button.

Don't let a personal prejudice prevent you from doing what's right; your reputation could be on the line. If a person resents your decision to pass them over for a better candidate, so be it. After all, it's not your problem that they aren't qualified. Psychological blackmail has a way of rearing its ugly head today.
