You have a much more passionate approach to life and as Mercury conjoins Mars enabling you to peak sexually and intellectually. As Saturn moves out of your financial orbit so you will reap the rewards - or not - for a job well done. What you receive will be totalled up based on personal merit.

With Saturn leaving your sign until October you must carefully make financial plans, knowing they cannot be brought about immediately. The old saying "all things come to those who wait" might have been written with you in mind today. Tend to the little things that could trip you up materially now.

You must take a far more serious approach to life as Saturn enters your sign until October. He gives you a taste of things to come in 2001, including accepting more responsibility and taking fewer risks: advice you would be wise to follow today when impulsive stars makes you rather careless.

Your stars send out a warning beacon over all things financial. In the short-term, personal finances need risk avoidance, whereas until October, Saturn’s occupation of Gemini suggests anything you do or follow should be to aid those who are underprivileged, not as fortunate as you or disabled.

Stay practical, listen to the voice of reason and ignore that impetuous devil who is sitting on your shoulder. The more realistic and pragmatic your approach, the more you will succeed and thereby overcome any problems that so often come through doing things too quickly or without forethought.

Your stars urge you to stick up for your rights otherwise you will attract a whole load of long term troubles by allowing more aggressive folk to get their own way. Between now and October you must reevaluate your ambitions, are they getting you anywhere or, indeed, valid any longer?

You can clear away past difficulties by having the insight to see ahead more clearly. Teamwork goes like clockwork as you drum up the support you need to get a long-term project off the ground. You are now about to see all too clearly it was your own shortsightedness that was holding you back.

Taking risks by being over-confident or pushy will end-up with a mighty run-in with mighty folk. A conflict of interests disturbs the day. It will be like walking on eggshells but with the fragility of a situation it’s worth tip-toeing through the tulips rather than taking great clod-hopping steps into a minefield.

Activities and exercises that are good for the mind as well as the body are a boon. To stay out of harm’s way and keep itchy feet scratched go with the urge to leave your home-turf in search of pastures new. At work, exploit every technical niche and give into your commercial wanderlust.

Your ruling star, Saturn, enters your zodiac zone of work and health for the period up until October. Your need to be useful grows and this means dealing with the frustration or irritation signified by unsatisfied ambitious longings or medical problems that currently impede your progress.

With Saturn occupying Gemini you are set to reap all the benefits this brings. Soon it will be plain to all, that the more you have worked on your creative talents, cultivated a love affair or put effort into a heart’s desire, the more you can count on success to come in whatever your chosen field, venture or enterprise.

Your health needs care when an allergic reaction triggers off a medical condition or relapse. Realise what you are suffering from is symptomatic of something far deeper. By doing so you will stave off or save yourself from further attacks and solve the real problem. A major domestic reassessment begins today lasting, initially, until October.
