You cannot allow yourself to dwell on negative interpretations of what is going on in the world. On the contrary, you must force yourself to believe that even the bad things are part of the overall cosmic plan. Your belief will help make it a fact.

Don’t waste your time trying to get a straight answer from people you work with today, because the more you question them the more evasive they will become. Don’t let it worry you though – they simply have no idea what they are doing.

Don’t overreact if what you were planning to do next has to be postponed. This is one of those occasions when you will have no choice but to put creative endeavors on ice until the cosmic climate is more settled. The delay may even do you good.

Although you will be more sociable and chatty than usual now that your ruler Venus is moving through one of the more outgoing areas of your chart you must be careful not to reveal too much about yourself. Your opponents may be listening.

You will need to be on your guard today, especially where money matters are concerned. What a friend or colleague suggests may sound inviting but make sure you know how much it is going to cost – especially if you will be paying the lion’s share.

Stop worrying about things that will most likely never happen and use the improved cosmic climate to move up in the world. A positive attitude will attract the kind of opportunities that most people can only dream about – but for you they will become a reality.

At this time of year your natural self-belief can easily desert you, but now you know that you can take positive steps to limit any negative feelings you may have. Remind yourself often that behind those dark clouds the Sun, your ruler, never stops shining.

Ignore the fools who preach doom and gloom and act as if the world is a wonderful place – and it will be, at least for you. There may be a lot of serious things going on around you but if you keep smiling they won’t turn out so bad.

You cannot just ignore a problem and hope that it will go away. Well, you can, but common sense should tell you that it will remain a problem until you do something about it. It’s time to get tough and deal with that problem once and for all.

Watch your words over the next 24 hours, both in your private life and on the work front. With Venus and Mercury strong in your chart you may be tempted to speak up when it would be wiser to stay quiet. You don’t have to have your say.

Cosmic activity in one of the more sensitive areas of your chart means you must play by the rule book today. If you cut corners or ignore instructions there is every chance you will fall foul of the powers that be, who could punish you severely.

If you bring joy to other people today the universe will bring joy to you. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign means that while your needs and desires and other people’s needs and desires may look different, they are in fact very much the same.
