Be vigilant in joint commitments, as all may not be as it seems - check the small print before you sign! It's better to err on the side of caution than to be duped. If you find that dealing with the harsh realities of life is too taxing you should indulge yourself by immersing in a world of escapist daydreams. There's no harm in this at all as long as you keep the distinction between fantasy and reality clear in your mind.

Romance is in the air but don't get carried away as the cold light of day has other plans. With Venus the planet of love linked to both the Moon and the mysterious Neptune, it will be difficult to come back down to earth. The one hitch to look out for is that you might idealise a situation or person to such a degree that there is little hope of them living up to your expectations. Enjoy flirting but keep a wee bit grounded too.

Whatever you do today, you bring a weird artistic flair to it that makes you stand out from the crowd. Creative and imaginative ideas flow and so the mundane and ordinary can take on a renewed sparkle and glamour. This liveliness can also spill over into your thinking as you enjoy playing with fun ideas and concepts. Let your imagination roam free. There is no need to justify the time spent in reverie - just enjoy it and take pleasure from the images that pop into your head.

A leisurely dreamy day when you'll be absorbed in fantasy but only reality can help you out. The planets can expand your imaginative powers to such a high degree that everyday reality might seem a tad dull in comparison. But, should a new romance begin at this time, try to come back down to earth and be realistic - ask yourself - have you put this person on a pedestal? And - are you seeing them as they really are or how you'd like them to be?

Deceit and confusion fill your head and heart someone is up to no good is it you or your other half? A woman is manipulative and difficult to understand. Trying to get your head round anyone's motives is hard and even yours are slightly tackier than usual. I suggest that you spend the day watching the telly, indulging in the arts, music or merriment as you're no use nor ornament elsewhere, in fact if you try to lead a normal day you'll have the wool pulled over your eyes - unless you're doing the pulling!

Before you rush off and spread the word be sure the information you hear comes from a reliable source. You don't want to be accused of circulating inaccurate tittle-tattle do you? The things you buy, and in fact any other type of financial dealings whether large and important or small and trifling may also require careful verification. Better by far to make sure that no mistakes, deliberate or unintentional are lurking in the woodwork.

With the present emphasis on Neptune, your sympathies are easily aroused but are you being too gullible? Pets in particular could be the recipients of your devotion and care, and if any small furry animal needs a home then their plight will certainly tug at your heartstrings. If it has been on your mind to purchase an objet d'art painting or other item to beautify your home, then be sure it is the genuine article before you part with your hard-earned cash.

Focus all your imaginative skills on cultural pursuits and you'll be more than happy with the result. Your creative juices are flowing so any occupation which requires style and flair will benefit from this burst of artistic energy. Not only are you likely to concentrate on aesthetic activities, you may also decide to use some of this dynamism to make a few personal changes in your bearing, manner or relationships. My only concern is don't trust a female as far as you can throw her!

Secrets abound and the problem is you're the last to hear, so keep your ear to the ground. Your emotional radar can alert you, so rely on any hunches you experience - more than likely they will be spot on. Unresolved issues in a relationship that come to light now have a good chance of resolution if you put your mind to it. If not, then ask yourself if this connection was all you thought it was in the first place.

Not everything you hear or read will have the ring of truth lies and dishonesty are rife in your life. If you are selective in what you do and where you go and who you spend your time with, then no problems should arise. Hopes dreams and intentions loom large in your thoughts and you may find you prefer to languish in the land of daydreams rather than deal with the practicalities of daily life. It will do you good to relax for once.

In all one-to-one concerns, take care you are seeing things as they really are and not as you'd like them to be. Set realistic goals and you will not be disappointed. In commercial and fiscal matters too scrupulous attention to detail is called for. There could be a tendency for someone to take the easy way out of a complex situation, so be alert for trickery or duplicity. Don't be tempted by inane or fantastic claims until you have thoroughly checked them out.

It's a here today gone tomorrow kind of day so be aware of this if you fly away on the wings of love. It is their out of the ordinary experiences ideas or views that will fascinate and intrigue you. As long as you are fully aware that the picture you are building of this person is based on imagination and fantasy no harm will come. Your intuition is a powerful tool at present so listen to your inner promptings. If you follow them you'll not go far wrong.
