A friend may clue you into an opportunity that really is too good to be true; don't set much stock by this rumour. Instead, make inroads to social circles that have previously been closed to you.

Your public and private personas battle it out today as the Moon squares your Midheaven. Are you letting family problems seep into your professional life?

Is that really such a bad thing?

Pay careful attention to the criterion you use to judge others. Are you being unfair to someone just because they remind you of a person from the past?

Your confidence is at an all-time high now that the Sun has slipped into your native sign. Take this opportunity to let your outside express your inside.

You and a close partner may be at odds over your living arrangements. If it feels as though you're being pushed out of your own home, consider the reasons why.
