Some things are best left unsaid and if I were you I'd keep quiet till mid October! Productivity efficiency and order in the workplace should be your motto, no dilly dallying for you! Wherever your responsibilities lie - office, factory, home or some place else - your attitude is cool, calm, collected and geared towards success. Try to be sure that all your communications are clear and unambiguous with the people you are closely affiliated to, such as a spouse or business partner. The things you want to say may be absolutely clear in your own mind - but are you making yourself clear to others?

Inefficiency will start to tell unless you organise your life properly and refuse to delegate. Drawing up resourceful and ambitious plans is likely to be your immediate reaction to any restless feelings. Mundane small ideas just will not do, you want to think big. If you were to contemplate a journey, it would be long haul, or if you wanted to learn a new skill or aptitude, you'd only consider embarking upon an intense course of study. Attend to the details of your plans. A little precision now could save you hours reviewing them later on.

Mercury's retrograde which means take it easy on the love and fun front for a wee while. For the next few weeks, you would be wise to ensure you are as straightforward as possible in your communications. Mistakes or misunderstandings could easily occur otherwise. From a casual chat with a friend, to intimate conversations with your partner, try to make sure your feelings and ideas come over the way you want. In business transactions too, a little care is called for. After all you do not want to have to do the same task twice.

Kids require all your tact and patience but that doesn't mean you should be at their beck and call. Your attitude to your spouse or intimate friend may outwardly seem cool or even a wee bit reserved. However this may be unintentional thanks to you being so absorbed and distracted by recent events and developments. Reliving old memories can be helpful if they allow insights into current life questions, so keep focussed on the present. The relationship between you and a business partner could be most efficient and productive if you harness the cautious and circumspect qualities of the Capricorn Moon.

What's said in haste or anger is not really meant but the same can be said of promises too. Your life at present is likely to be busy, eventful, and full of interesting people and circumstances. The sheer number of phone calls e-mails and letters you have to deal with may seem a little overwhelming at times, but with the creative and innovative approach you take to most situations, you will get through it all. In your contacts with other people, both on a personal and professional level, keep everything as clear and specific as you can and this will stop any misunderstandings developing.

A financial mistake or error will be picked up before November so take care with cash. For a commercial or business transaction to work out in your favour, you will have to put in maximum effort. Preparation is everything here, and the better informed you are the more likely it will be that you get the desired results. This principle can be applied to everything from making an everyday purchase, to signing an important contract. Concentrate on fully understanding the finer points of the deal and don't leave anything to chance.

Indecision mars your life over the coming weeks so commit to nothing until your birthday has been and gone. You may find yourself involved in going over and over the minutiae of a personal matter in your mind. It may not be easy to come to a firm conclusion as your thoughts could jump from one detail to another at a break neck speed. Try to calm things down by talking to a friend. A confiding chat could be the answer to your needs, and you'll soon see any worries or misgivings will melt away when they are examined in the cool light of day.

Don't trust your intuition or you will misjudge a person or situation to your own detriment. You may be a private person, but keeping a problem all bottled up is not a good idea. Going over the matter again and again in your mind might just accentuate the perceived difficulties, and won't bring about the answers you need. You may be so good at concealing any inner uneasiness that others are unaware of your dilemma. A friend will offer a sympathetic ear, but you will have to open up and speak your mind.

A younger friend is all mouth and trousers in other words don't believe a word they say. Should youthful folks join in with your circle of friends they will bring a breath of fresh air, while their natural exuberance rekindles the your own enthusiastic drives and ambitions sparking off a new train of thought and activity. Your approach to spending and monetary matters in general is cautious and prudent over the next couple of days so reviewing and organising your finances could prove to be beneficial.

Check and check again anything and everything connected to your career or ambitions to ensure accuracy. As the Moon enters your sign, you may come up with definite and constructive plans to better your life. Whether the ideas will come from you, or have been suggested by someone else, is an unimportant fact. Putting them into practice is your priority. Watch that your communications at work are clear, straightforward, and that any instructions you give or receive are understood, otherwise problems are possible.

If travelling over the next month be warned of hitches, delays and hassles you have been warned. For those of you preparing to embark upon a journey try to have a back-up plan if possible. The prospect of transport delays or breakdowns has to be taken seriously and catered for. However don't let this detract from your anticipation. By being willing and ready to make some alterations to your plans, the whole experience will become an adventure. Even though you may initially be a little cautious, an intuitive answer to a recent problem could be the best way forward, but will you take it?

Emotional blackmail is rife but mainly because you believe what you want to believe - call their bluff. Your interactions with other people may call for your sharpest perceptive skills over the next few weeks. Encounters of all kinds could give rise to misconceptions, and so clear precise and unmistakable wording is called for. Whether discussing a joint purchase with your partner, or arranging an important financial commitment, full comprehension of all the little details is paramount. Should a potentially awkward situation arise between you and a friend, a sense of humour will go a long way to lighten the mood.
