A busy, bustling Monday when the rays of the Moon mingle magnificently with stern Saturn and nebulous Neptune. It’s a day for getting on with routine matters whether you’re dealing with money and budgets or arranging a medical check for yourself or one-of-the-family. Efficient and effective, take this chance to put your affairs in order.

Whether you’re putting a couple-of-bob on the nags or speculating millions on the money markets you’re tempted to have a flutter, take a risk and find out if fate’s on your side. Your motives may be pristine and altruistic but you won’t tempt Lady Luck to smile in your direction. Don’t take any risky gambles and exercise caution with cash.

Domesticity claims your attention Monday clipping your wings in a most delightful and affectionate way. A family conference is called for so you can catch up on the latest developments and find out what you’ve all been up to. It’s too easy to get wrapped up in your own actions and forget about the drives and dreams of the rest of your clan.

You’re a sucker for any sob-story that’s packed with emotional appeal, but can you afford to shell out cash to ease someone’s hardship? You could find your generous charitable nature is being used and abused so before you part with a penny find out where your money’s going and get some copper-bottomed assurances that it won’t be wasted.

It’s fascinating and entertaining listening to pals or colleagues setting the world to rights and propounding their plans for a better society. You shouldn’t take their radical ideas too seriously for they’re only armchair revolutionaries, enjoy their enthusiasm but keep your feet firmly on the ground and don’t lose sight of practicalities.

Normally you’re a pretty self-sufficient sort of sign, able to get on perfectly well on your ownsome, but every-now-and-again you feel in need of a little companionable company and moral support from the folk you can trust. Make time to be with your family and friends Monday and you’ll be a much more calm and contented, rested and relaxed soul.

If you’ve become embroiled in a financial entanglement that’s costing more than you thought now’s the time to call a halt and review the situation. Quotes and estimates may need revising whilst a pecuniary partnership that’s based on you shelling out whilst your other half’s raking in the benefits should be thought through more thoroughly.

Whatever your hopes and wishes for the future may be you should make sure you broadcast them loud and clear this Monday. There’s no point in keeping your ambitions and aspirations to yourself; but before your reach for the megaphone, check and see if you’ve got all the back-up resources and support you need and don’t just trust to luck.

When a friend passes on a snippet of information your grey cells snap to attention! You may have thought you were doing all right and your professional progress was assured but once you begin to discuss your feelings with companions and colleagues your illusions could be shaken. A change of plan soon puts you back on the right road.

It may be Monday and though you’re physically in a train, car or bus on your way to the shops or work, your mind’s a million miles away as you dream of sun-drenched beaches, oriental temples, azure skies and seas. Have you chosen your holiday destination yet? You couldn’t pick a better time to finalise travel plans, so book your berth now.

Intimate affairs are bathed in sentimental starlight encouraging and tempting you and your beloved to experience ever increasing ecstasy. Single Aquarians needn’t lose heart, there’s lots to keep you occupied Monday, especially if you’re concerning yourself with making money or investigating the ins-and-outs of an inheritance or benefice.

You have some great and grandiose plans for a future filled with travel, adventure and opportunity. But hold on a minute! Are you sure you’re not taking on more than you can handle financially? Before you commit yourself to a course of extravagant expenditure you should be sure you can afford it, or you and your beloved may end up disappointed.
