Mars, your ruling planet, makes a challenging angle to impulsive Uranus, so go easy on your credit cards and bank account. Put off a major purchase until later in the week, when you'll be less susceptible to fast talking salespeople. In the meantime, this is an ideal day to work on your sex life. Denying your physical urges isn't healthy.

Think before you speak, especially when it comes to discussing financial matters with your partner. A spending spree could have its source in a void that's been widening in your relationship. Fortunately, Venus, your ruling planet, is making a favourable link to responsible Saturn. A little patience is all that's required to mend this rift.

Resist the urge to voice your most controversial opinions in a mixed social setting; you wouldn't want to make the wrong impression. Your best bet is to look deeply into the eyes of the person you're speaking with and really take their words to heart. You can learn so much from others, provided you're willing to give them a chance.

Rushing through chores may result in an unfortunate accident; let "never hurry and never worry" be your motto. Try not to put pressure on a newcomer who is having difficulty learning the ropes. It's far wiser to lend a helping hand in these situations. Your health will be greatly improved if you stop dwelling on things you can't change.

Steer clear of a family squabble that will only lead to heartache; it's pointless to judge folks when you've all made mistakes. Just focus on being a better person to everyone involved. Your listening skills could stand to be improved. Practice speaking less in every conversation that you have. It's amazing what you miss when you're wrapped up in yourself.

You could be pressured into making a decision that you're not ready for, but it's nothing that can be helped. Sometimes it's easier to be pushed into an arrangement. That way, you feel less responsible for future events. In any case, you have to make the best of this situation, even if it does involve working with people you dislike.

Stop focusing on what you don't have and start counting your blessings; otherwise, you're fated to feel deprived. You're mistaking wealth for contentment. You'll feel better as soon as you stop agreeing to arrangements that make you unhappy. If that means hurting a friend's feelings, so be it. You've got to look after your own interests.

Playing the Devil's advocate may be entertaining for you, but it's pure torture for the object of your affection. Stop trying to get under their skin. By giving into their demands for a change, you'll forge a much happier future. After all, didn't you get into this relationship as a means to share? If not, there may be serious problems ahead.

Distractions are popping up in every corner; if you have some important business, it may be best to isolate yourself. Don't let a panicky relative pressure you into making a trip that you'd rather not take. Otherwise, you'll be playing catch-up for the rest of the week. Life's too short to let others control your destiny.

Postponing travel arrangements will finally enable you to attend to pressing personal business. There's no shame in being a little selfish. In fact, acting according to your own interests is entirely healthy. A money-making venture enables you to finance a stint at school. Be sure to take up a course of study that truly interests you.

Combative Mars squares up to Uranus, your celestial governor, causing you to feel worried and anxious. Trying to force a result is the worst thing you could do at this stage, particularly with regard to a relationship. Sit back and wait for the person in question to come to you. In the meantime, stay preoccupied with a favourite hobby.

Self-control is essential if you're going to meet a goal; temptation is really a disguise for fear. Why are you so afraid of achieving success? Is it because you're afraid that friends will no longer like you? If that's the case, stop worrying. People truly worthy of your affection will rejoice over your victory. Keep your eyes on the prize.
