The Moon is confronted by Mars, your ruling planet, so be sure and tread lightly in a sexual or emotional relationship. If love has been elusive, it could be because you are impatient to get more out of someone than they have to give. Resist the urge to view every acquaintance as a potential lover. Desperation is a definite turn off.

Entertaining your family could stretch your nerves beyond the breaking point; prepare to overlook a relatives' weak points. You won't be able to enjoy yourself if you're too busy listening for sarcastic remarks or backhanded compliments. Don't give your rivals the satisfaction of seeing you sweat; take a deep breath and smile.

You're going to have to be honest about your financial situation if a romantic relationship is going to move forward. There's no sense in pretending any longer. A long, honest talk will help draw you together and face any economic hardships head-on. You'll never be able to achieve the intimacy you desire until you come clean.

Healthy sparks may start to fly between you and a partner; it's nice to know you can still get under each other's skin. Trying to mould your mate into something they could never possibly be is sure to end in tears of disillusion. The sooner you come to terms with their shortcomings, the happier you both will be.

Job or business conditions are starting to feel positively toxic; take your concerns to a person who can do something to change them. Suffering in silence will only hurt you in the end. You may have to become a regular nuisance in order for you to turn this situation around, but you'll be more than pleased with the results.

An emotionally charged confrontation could prompt you to start work on an artistic project you've put off for months. Your emotions are evidence of your humanity; let them flow freely whenever possible. If not, you may start to lose touch with your intuition, and that can be positively deadly.

Redecorating your home may be more costly than you realise; it will be more economical to make small changes over time. The room that needs the most attention may be a metaphor for your own troubles. Fix the kitchen if you feel neglected; remodel the living room if your social life is suffering; spruce up the bedroom for a better sex life.

It feels as though the sun has finally broken through the clouds; seize this opportunity to end a situation that has caused you heartache. Loyalty is definitely overrated, especially if the person or organisation involved has been less than good to you. Make a clean break and start afresh; the future is limitless.

Surrounding yourself with status symbols won't make you feel any better about your station in life. The real work you need to do is on the inside. Why haven't you been living up to your potential? If the answer is laziness, you can still redeem yourself. Make a list of steps you need to take to realise your goals.

You may be able to anticipate a terrific disaster, but there's nothing you can do to avoid it. The best thing you can do is to busy yourself with other matters. The less you dread the future, the easier it will be to handle the difficulties ahead. A friend or relative's loving words of support will carry you through.

Steer clear of controversial topics if you want to preserve a long-standing association; such talks can lead to hurt feelings. When you really think about it, it's far more healthy for you to have relationships with people whose views are different than yours, otherwise, how will you ever learn anything new?

Someone’s reluctance to help you out of a tough spot makes you angry and frustrated; don't blame your problems on others. You got yourself into this situation, and it's up to you to find your way out of it. Consider sacrificing what's left of your security in order to pay off debts. It's better to have freedom than peace of mind.
