Your mood is so fiery and your temper so uneven it'll take very little for you to snap, steer clear of those who really annoy you. Although you want to be the ultimate authority in everything you do, that's not possible now. The sooner you come to terms with the fact that somebody else is calling the shots, the easier life will be. You can't expect to be given free rein when you have very little experience in a particular area.

Travel and fiery rhetoric are to be avoided like the plague as everything from road rage to a clash of opinions is forecast. Tackling a complicated project without the necessary training is like trying to light a fire with sticks instead of matches. Do yourself a favour and enrol in a class that will further your existing education. Your pride may be getting in the way of doing what is best for you. You are your own harshest critic.

A man in your midst is more trouble than he is worth he's after one thing; sex or money give it by all means but suffer the consequences. Taking advantage of a person's weakness is tempting, but try to take the higher moral ground. Relationships are more important than personal desires. Look on this situation as a cosmic test of your character. By helping this soul instead of stepping on them, you'll reap surprising rewards as the laws of karma have been evoked.

Not an easy day for a clash of your personal ambitions with someone elses desires makes for a battle to ensue with no overall winner. So why bother? It's a waste of energy to fight battles on such an angry day. You're tired of having to answer to others for every single move you make. Perhaps this is a sign that you should pursue a different profession or vocation. Contrary to what you may think, you have everything it takes to do your own thing. Choose what you want to do instinctively but not impulsively, as it could be a great way to branch out on your own.

From a headache to a temperature the first sign of ill health is nature's way of saying slow down, do it or make matters worse. People keep lecturing you about an unhealthy habit, and your first impulse is to rebel. Consider, though, how many folks you damage by continuing to abuse your body. It's all well and good if you want to jeopardise your health, but what kind of message are you sending to friends, family and impressionable wee minds?

If love hurts then it's due to you being vexed by someone who has a funny way of showing you mean something to them. Satisfying your need for pleasure must take a back seat to mundane obligations. At times like these, it seems like everybody is having a good time except you. Nothing could be further from the truth, though. Call off the pity party and put your nose to the grindstone. Your sour mood will lift before the day is over. Not a good day to provoke a child who will get their own back, and serve you right - well as far as they are concerned.

A warning comes from the stars to be aware of fire hazards either via faulty equipment or someone's acid mood. Family members lay a guilt trip on you, making it difficult to pursue a promising opening that could be good for you personally. If you want to be a people-pleaser, proceed as usual. On the other hand, if you want to be fulfilled, you need to defy those who seek to manipulate you for selfish purposes. Take control of your life.

Something is said in haste or ire, which you could live to regret, bite your tongue or count to ten but say nothing! Beavering ahead without knowing exactly what you should be doing is a serious mistake. Don't be afraid to admit that you need help with the tasks at hand. A patient and clever expert will be more than willing to show you the ropes, provided you stop trying to talk over them. Be meek, receptive, and open to learning from their vast experience.

The danger zone for you is money, doesn't matter what the currency is all you know is somewhere along the line you are being robbed. Grabbing the spotlight away from somebody else will make you look callous. Put your own agenda on the back burner while the person in question shows off their talent. It's hard not being the centre of attention, but try to enjoy your position as an observer. There's nothing more unattractive than a sore loser.

The Moon/Mars link tells a tale of misfortune but only if you are impulsive in your actions or are tempted by someone who doesn't know when to stop. Someone who needs help could interrupt a tight deadlined project. Your first impulse is to slam the door shut, but take care. You may need their assistance sooner than you think. Put your work aside and give them the care and attention they deserve. Being selfish doesn't come naturally to you, anyway.

Sleep is difficult to come by making you irritable and argumentative, keep your blood pressure down by avoiding crowds. Getting your ideas across isn't as easy as you think, as your intended audience seems distracted and bored. If you sense you're getting nowhere with this lot then remember this - pearls before swine, by dear! You don't want to appear too desperate, especially in front of your rivals. Shift your focus to small duties that were neglected this past week.

A friend in need is a friend you should avoid indeed or you'll end up the poorer whilst they are in the richer in one way or another. You keep using money as an excuse for why you're not spending more time on creative pursuits. Come on, change the record, this excuse is getting pretty old. There are plenty examples of folks who work on their art in their spare time. Getting started is the hardest part so have the courage of your convictions before another day gets wasted.
