ARIES
A somewhat low-key day, but you'll be busy tidying up some loose ends and getting on some unfinished projects. The rate of productivity is a matter of great concern, so a pleasure trip may be abandoned for now. A social event beckons but you have other plans in mind. Sensitive emotional issues should be handled very tactfully

TAURUS
Do your best to keep your cool today, otherwise annoying silly things will really get on your nerves. It's one of those trying days when people are irritating and you're sorely tempted to say so, but will that achieve anything? Clear the air if you're really provoked or someone has stepped out of line, but don't let yourself get worked up over trivial matters

GEMINI
You may have to play hardball to get anywhere today, Working in peace and quiet seems to be out of the question. Ugh. Don't rely too heavily on the promises made by others. You may have to rearrange your priorities at some point during the day. Romance may be re-defined in a curious

CANCER
The focus turns to your personal interests and immediate needs. Is this the opportunity you need to cash in and take the lead over your competitors? Don't break the bank on pleasure, as expenses mysteriously appear under various guises. You are all fired up and eager for spicy possibilities in your lovelife.

LEO
Be sure to do your homework before getting involved in a financial venture if you want to play safe today. Plans for a pleasure trip turn out to be important. You may seek contributions for an event that combines entertainment with networking. Control your fears, as love captivates your thoughts.

VIRGO
Hard work put in recently can provide you the freedom you need after all. Being a little liberal with your ideas could bring about important change in the outlook of your peers towards you. You can discover a most interesting way of making profit through a deal. It's time to do something different in your love life

LIBRA
Plans may need to be changed quickly in order to accommodate the needs of an important person. Elders can help you steer a venture in the right direction, but trying to improve things could take up too much of your time and energy. Unrealistic demands may prove disappointing.

SCORPIO
Excitement is in store as a beneficial opportunity comes through a social connection. Try to be clear in your actions; mixed trends can affect your personal picture now. You're pleased with news from afar. Although shopping might be expensive, the items should last a lifetime. Romance is delightful but your beloved may pinpoint some concern

SAGITARIOUS
Don't mix business with pleasure today if you want to avoid a bad time. Though you are ready to live up to challenges, you feel the need for support. Guard your privacy on this somewhat intrusive day. In personal affairs, you could feel somewhat detached, but you'll enjoy the new zest in romance that you're craving for

CAPRICORN
Make this a day for keeping in touch with people. You'll enjoy catching up with all the local gossip by talking to a neighbour or by having a long session on the phone with some friends. You'll doubtless hear something very interesting and may even have to pass it on. On the other hand, you may prefer to put pen to paper by writing letters or cards

AQUARIOUS
If you don't have the authority to act, you need to ask and re- examine the situation. Finding the hard information is the key to your overall plan. A loved one may not be so easily pacified if you've been careless with your words, but the emotional bonds deepen with your sweetheart

PISCES
You work better as part of a team than you do alone today, If you fudge the paperwork, you might find yourself ending up in quite a mess. Ugh. Mess, the enemy of Virgo! Secrets have a tendency to generate controversy, but a twist of fate will be quite amusing. This evening promises to provide a delicious dish on your romantic menu.
