A conversation with a family member could throw a whole new light on a past event that has been troubling you. By looking carefully at the emotions and feelings it arouses in you now, and talking them through with a sympathetic friend or relative, you will be able to put this matter to rest once and for all. Why not participate in a creative recreational activity, perhaps with your partner? It could really lighten your mood, so go on, have some fun.

Be open today to new and exciting prospects, especially in matters relating to your home and family. With the link between the electrifying planet Uranus and your ruler Venus, it indicates a strong drive within you for innovation and the unusual. You may decide to direct this creative energy into your homestead, and it would be a good time to commence a project of this nature. On the other hand, you may concentrate on your closest relationships and here you will look for ways to add sparkle and scintillation. You might even top that by taking a chance on the kind of love that is controversial or totally out of character for you.

The Moon/Mercury link suggests your thoughts will turn to the things that matter the most to you. This can be on several levels. Firstly you may direct your attention to your material security, and so you may review your financial affairs. You may also be pondering on intellectual and spiritual issues too, and here you will want to discuss the things that hold the deepest significance to you. Try not to become too distracted from the central theme, or you will find that long conversations are not providing the stimulation you really seek.

As the Moon moves into your sign, the current powerful emphasis on Cancer is strengthened even further. Your intuitive faculty will be extremely high now, as will be the depth of your emotions. It is important for you to be aware of this, and of the fact that you are extremely sensitive to the atmosphere prevalent around you now. You could inadvertently pick up on the moods and emotions of those around you, so try to take care with the company you keep.

Your intuition is strong, and it is possible for you to use this faculty to guide you successfully. For example, now might be a good time to explore an issue that has been in the back of your mind for a while, and to use your instincts to determine which would be the best course of action to follow. Sharing your observations with a close female friend could prove to be very helpful, so don't be too proud to approach her. Independence is the key word for you and your partner if you don't have a degree of space then you are sure to cramp each other's style which is the perfect excuse to find comforts and excitement elsewhere.

Your friendships and associations can be very emotionally rewarding under the present planetary forces. With the Moon moving into the nurturing sign of Cancer, there is an especially caring and protective quality prevailing. For you, this is most likely to be centred on the mutual regard and affection you experience with your friends and close acquaintances. One caveat though is to be aware of any possessive or imperious feelings that may arise, as these could jeopardise an otherwise happy and companionable day.

This is not a time for ordinary expected things, but rather one when you look for excitement and innovation. With Uranus strongly influencing Venus you may enjoy both social occasions and relationships that are somewhat different from your usual ones. Join in with a group whose ideals and motivations may suit your mood, and you will enjoy the mental stimulation and fresh interest that it provides. Don't be afraid to experiment with new ideas. Be bold and adventurous - it will be fun and is sure to turn you on. Someone is very attractive to you which is strange as not so long ago you wouldn't have touched their type with a barge pole.

The desire to learn about new things or to extend your knowledge in a certain area, is very strong now. In fact until you make a positive effort to broaden your horizons in some way, you are likely to feel quite restless. Rely on your intuition to guide you. You may suddenly feel inclined to study, or travel, or explore a new discipline, for example. By so doing any unsettled feelings will subside and you will gain a tremendous amount of added insight and understanding. A day when the carnal Scorpio will want to do something sexually risque, outrageous even.

Some of your connections with other people are likely to be quite intense and provoke deep emotions in you. The way you deal with these situations can vary from encounter to encounter, depending on how you feel at that particular moment. It might not be easy to be especially steady or unwavering, however you can rely upon your natural instincts to guide you. If you use this time to amass information and reflect upon it, you will soon be able to come to rational and considered determinations.

Close one-to-one relationships, particularly with women, will be especially meaningful and helpful. It will be easier than usual to discuss personal matters that are important to you, and expressing your feelings on certain issues might not pose the problems you have imagined that they might. This is an excellent day for both debate and for finding the middle ground, particularly if you allow yourself to be guided by your intuition. Try to keep focussed on the issues at hand, and you will soon resolve any differences.

Getting things done in the most efficient and effective way possible is your main priority at the moment. At the same time, you are very much influenced and guided by the way you feel, and so the tasks you choose to undertake are likely to be ones which bring you the most satisfaction and fulfilment. Once you have decided upon your course of action, you will follow it through with tenacity and persistence until you accomplish what you set out to do. With Uranus opposing Venus it's sure to be a day of contradictions when you won't be satisfied with anything or anyone - time to lift the lid on the mundane and do something completely wild, crazy and impromptu.

Relationships are the focal point, perhaps in particular those with children or a love interest. You can be quite emotionally sensitive, and perhaps feel inclined to look after and care for your loved ones. Within romantic relationships too, you will attend to the practical matters at hand, even though you may inwardly desire more exciting and stimulating experiences. To avoid any tension building up, it would be helpful to suggest some interesting activities and pursuits you can enjoy participating in together.
