Be proactive and waste not a jot of time in getting to grips with personal or professional problem. Once you're sure in your own mind about the direction you want to take, you'll not waste time procrastinating. Whether you propose to enlist the help of other people, or have a solitary endeavour in mind, it does not matter, so long as you are able to call all the shots. Planning and structuring your ideas will come easily, but explaining them to others might be a different matter. A practical, detailed approach will be best; give others the opportunity to make suggestions or amendments.

The younger you are the more problems you will have with the older generation. A positive time to master the intricacies of a productive and creative occupation that interests you. You are able to focus your attention well, and concentrate on all the small and complex matters required for such a task. You are likely to seek out the company of people who are particularly free-spirited and who have a taste for adventure. Their influence on you could be profound. You may even find yourself acting in the same way - and enjoying it!

Difficulties abound with an authoritarian boss but make no career choices just yet. You may find yourself making plans, and thinking of ways and means to improve your domestic situation. Even though your natural inclination might be to withdraw into yourself for a little while, frank communication would be the better option, but perhaps not the easiest. Are you seeing things clearly at the moment? Being realistic is one thing - but watch it doesn't turn to pessimism. Chatting to a family member will give you a totally fresh perspective so don't be afraid to confide in them.

A bitter person is determined to prevent a plan coming to fruition, bide your time. For the next few days, enjoy the wonderfully liberating and anticipatory period of the Sagittarian Moon. It can bring a breath of fresh air into your daily life, and leave you feeling far more optimistic and happy with your lot. Be determined to look at the positive side of your current circumstances. If friends or associates take a different view, that is their concern, and need not influence your mood at all. Delays in communication could cause some unforeseen problems if you don't have a fall back plan.

Accept a financial challenge and that means gathering facts and data to come out on top. A dodgy day to undertake important negotiations, discussions, or business transactions. It is true that you are capable of structuring your thoughts and ideas, but presenting them in the best possible light might not be an easy task to accomplish. Try to postpone a meeting until another day if you can. A domestic project could get out of hand unless you are very careful. Are you being a bit over-ambitious? It might be worth scaling things down to a more moderate and achievable level.

Dismal and depressing you must take heart or you could turn into your own worst nightmare. Unless you make a determined effort to the contrary, a despondent and melancholy day will transpire. Make sure you do not take a chance comment to heart, or dwell too much upon it. It is not likely that any criticism was intended. The current link between Saturn and your ruler Mercury does tend to bring out any negative tendencies, but they can be overcome. Look to your everyday friendships and acquaintances for a little light relief.

You are your own worst enemy today because you allow a neurotic nature to overwhelm you. Making the right impression is difficult, as you may be unable to rely on your usual eloquence. Because of this, you may prefer to keep your thoughts to yourself for the time being. You may also be especially wrapped up in your own personal cares and concerns, and this may make working with other people a tricky prospect. Important meetings and links will be far more congenial in a day or two; so don't worry too much about them today.

There's wisdom and there's negativity don't mistake one for the other. You are firm and resolute in intent and keen to share new ideas with your friends and contemporaries. Your sincerity and openness in explaining your desires to them will not go unnoticed. In fact, it is likely to attract their respect, and may even have the fortunate result of encouraging them to follow your lead. Try not to pre-empt their suggestions and risk coming to the wrong conclusions! Be patient and open-minded and listen to what is being said. It may prove to be extremely useful.

A person in high office has a downer on you so do nothing to provoke him or her today. Deep soul-searching is likely as you look to your deepest thoughts and intentions for answers. Whatever the circumstances that have triggered this self-enquiry, you are likely to need some time to figure things out. The current period of the Sagittarian Moon is an excellent time for getting things done. Before a relationship in your professional or working life worsens, be the first to make an effort to patch things up.

Travel for business or necessity is fine but any other journey is out of the question. Structuring your thoughts and ideas and consolidating them into a workable plan is one of your strengths. This talent of yours is especially strong at the moment, with the Mercury Saturn alignment in force, so use this aptitude to improve both your day-to-day practices and your knowledge and skills. An emphasis on your hopes and dreams for the future may prompt you to set some goals, but be sure they are within your reach. It is better to be realistic than to leave yourself open to disappointment.

Don't let society dictate what is or isn't normal; to your own self be true at all times. However detailed and accurate a proposal is, you will tend to question its validity and strengths. No aspect of any scheme will be too small for your inspection and queries. Being practical and prudent is one thing, but watch is does not restrict your vision. Small-scale plans are unlikely to hold your attention for long; this is the time to think big. Be bold and adventurous in your targets. Set your sights high and reach for the stars.

You'll feel betrayed by someone you've supported and helped but didn't you expect it to happen all along? In your professional or business life, your present circumstances may not be fully satisfying to you, but you won't sit around grumbling about it. In your current optimistic and far-seeing frame of mind, your one aim will be to make the best of the situation whilst aiming for progress and betterment. Communication between you and your partner may not be as perfect as you'd like. If you feel misunderstood or overlooked by them, why not suggest a quiet dinner for two where you can sort out your feelings in calm surroundings.
