If there’s something you want to get off your chest, saying it straight may be harder than usual. It brings up new territory between you and someone close, so don’t force it. Stick to cheerful banter or a spirited debate with friends instead. Better still, get the endorphins pumping with a new group exercise class. The people you meet could be the best part. Pick lottery numbers with a Leo.

Today is designed to show you that nothing stays the same forever. There are new chapters opening up, but focus less on immediate answers and more on how a plan can take shape. Realise that some promises being made are not written in stone, and that you can’t hurry love. Laying the groundwork is vital if you’re going to build something that will always be authentic.  

The feel-good factor is strong today and you may still be on a high from recent events. Enjoy your fire sign nature – be motivated and have more fun. Is love one reason you’re in such a good mood? Or perhaps, you’re proud of a child? Prioritise other people and learn how to create and sustain loving relations. Opt for a healthy evening down the gym.

Today isn’t perfect for having everything figured out. Deal with what’s in front of you, leaving the bigger questions for another day. With the children back at school or a regular commitment ending, you’ve got some time back. Try not to fill it with chores. Make room for creativity instead. Someone lets you know how they feel at the last minute. Better late than never, or just a little too late?

There’s no substitute for personal effort. If you want something doing well, the best person for the job is usually you. Don’t stress if things are not happening as fast as you would like. Having to take the scenic route could turn out to be your lucky break, especially when it comes to romance. Single? Pay close attention to the person claiming your attention this evening.

Family emotions run high about housing and living arrangements and if you’re feeling bullied, or suspect someone is pulling the wool over your eyes, step back and be logical, not emotional. The New Moon brings chores and tedious paperwork but they’re worth doing if you’re chasing a dream. Give in, though, if a sociable partner insists on more evenings out with friends. You know he or she is right.  

If you’re in a relationship, make time for your other half today. It’s good to talk especially if you have a sense that the one you love is pulling away. If you’re single, be wary of falling into victim mode and steer clear of the drink. Spending time at home or with your family is comforting up to a point but you need something else to look forward to.
