Your energy levels might be somewhat uneven, so it will be important to conserve effort for important matters. There may be several things you hope to accomplish within your home, but perhaps your confidence to initiate action is not forthcoming. On the other hand it is possible that a desire for excitement and sensation will have the upper hand and this will draw you away from more mundane tasks. Either way, exchanges within your close relationships will be central to the day ­ so do not neglect them.

A desire to pep up things within your intimate relationships will dominate your thoughts and actions today. If you are in a committed relationship then you are likely to demand more excitement and glamour from your partner ­ so why not suggest a short trip or excursion that you could both enjoy together. If you are unattached, then you may delight in flirting with someone in your immediate environment ­ but keep it light-hearted. Social occasions could be especially enjoyable as you long for convivial and lively company.

Serious and important matters seem to have been dominating your thoughts of late so it is time to lighten up. Although it might not be easy as your mind is apt to flit from one issue to another, try to bring it gently back to the matter at hand. It might also help to keep your communications with other people on a light note, as you may be particularly sensitive to what you perceive as any challenges to your views, and it will serve no purpose to become discouraged.

With the Moon in your own sign of Cancer, you will be particularly sensitive to the feelings of those around you. Because of this, you will be able to offer others a shoulder to cry on if they need it. As your compassion and sympathy can be easily invoked at the moment, it could make you a little vulnerable to the ploys of some unscrupulous individuals ­ so be sure to take sufficient notice of what is going on around you.

This is an especially good time to reflect upon your most cherished dreams and hopes for the future. You may want to spend a part of the day in solitude to contemplate these things, and perhaps you will also be drawn to the study of some mystical tradition that appeals to you. At the same time, there is an overall feeling of wellbeing around you, and this is conducive to harmonious relationships with friends and acquaintances whose company you might enjoy socially.

Conversations in your working environment could become a little heated as your emotions are aroused over a certain issue. Perhaps there is a particular objective you have been working towards, and other people do not share your enthusiasm about it. This could be quite frustrating. Perhaps the best course of action would be to walk away from any confrontation, and allow things to settle down before approaching the subject again. If you can let go of any preconceived ideas and remain open to new ones, it will have a very positive effect on the outcome.

Under the current skies, you can release old ideas and ambitions and allow new innovative ones to formulate. Whether it concerns your public life, your career, or artistic pursuits and hobbies, your mind will be very open to accumulate new experiences and information, and this you will be able to incorporate in your speculations and plans for the future. Close personal relationships can be very impassioned now, and this is extremely favourable for an existing partnership, or may even indicate a new attraction.

Opening yourself up to new experiences and knowledge is the focus now, and this could be sought in many different ways. For some, travel will appeal, whilst others will prefer to study or look into a spiritual discipline. Your own personal views and opinions may be strongly entrenched, even when other people try to persuade you otherwise. Watch a tendency to try persuading others of the efficacy of your ideas, they may react in a way that you do not like, and this may well evoke some disquieting feelings.

A desire to delve into the deeper aspects of life may occupy your mind and consequently influence your actions. There is an exact link between Jupiter the planet of expansion and the Moon which relates to you emotions, and this indicates that mystical and spiritual matters could be the focus of your attention now. If you feel drawn to explore these regions, then you may encounter experiences that will transform your thinking from this point onwards and bring you moments of insight and awareness.

Seriousness and reserve are the order of the day as you reflect on past events, and endeavour to keep your emotions in check. It is not that you feel in any way downhearted or burdened by these memories, it is merely that you are experiencing a more sombre mood. Your thoughts may also turn towards your most intimate relationships, and here too you may be musing on how to bring a spark of romance and excitement into your life. A new love interest could enter your life now.

If it is your desire to enhance your creativity, then the present planetary configurations are very helpful. You are able to devote yourself wholeheartedly to whichever artistic pursuit that appeals to you. Try to formulate a picture in your mind of what you want to achieve, and work steadily towards it. It might require consistent effort and dedication, but you will be pleased at the standard of work you are capable of, and the positive feedback of other people will be most satisfying.

You feel very warm and tender towards your loved ones, but the one thing to keep in mind is a tendency towards possessiveness. It would be a pity to spoil the day with an emotional outburst so if at any time you feel disquiet arising in you then take a deep breath and count to ten...or twenty if necessary! Sharing an artistic endeavour with a child or lover could be an extremely illuminating experience, so why not organise something you will both enjoy participating in.
