If you’re halfway through cleaning or even decorating, it’s still home so don’t wait until everything’s perfect to invite people round. A friend who loves your taste will be asking you to help with their place next. As romantic Venus backtracks in the sky, a late-night message from an ex could get your heart racing so don’t believe unfinished business is your only reason to reply.

You operate best when you can see things clearly, in black and white. Write things down instead of trying to keep everything in your head. In family life you’re also not in the mood for guessing games, but some messaging in your WhatsApp group will clear things up. In love it’s especially worth keeping things light. New love starts with someone who singles you out.

You’d like to see an ex again as a friend but that could be a big no-no as far as someone else you’re with now is concerned. Old jealousies run deep so avoid any secret liaisons. Let your love-life take a back seat and put energy into house and home. There’s more cash available for DIY – for you or parents – so get going and make a transformation.  

Be honest with yourself if you’re hiding what’s really going on in a relationship. You don’t have to put up with the threat of anger or control. Turn to a sibling or neighbour who can offer you support. If you’re still smarting about a job coming to an end, give yourself time to process things fully. Next weekend’s New Moon could bring a new opportunity.

If your partner is harder to read than usual, don’t automatically assume the worst. Just make it clear you’re not willing to take a pay cut in love. Who says being healthy has to be boring? Dancing on a Friday night counts as exercise, whether it’s in the kitchen or a club. Single? One lingering look could make it feel like the world has stood still.

Money matters to you, not for its own sake but because of the beautiful things it can buy. This is a dodgy time, though, for any kind of overspending. Do your homework, compare the options, and surprise yourself. Your love life is also putting you to the test. Be your partner’s rock, but on the dating scene be cautious. If you sense that someone has secrets it’s because they have.

You’re a down-to-earth sort but someone in your life needs you to go deeper. Whether you’re talking about a taboo issue or a conversation about sex is on the cards, be willing to walk on the wild side. Who might have a clever idea about money? Get in touch this evening. A Scorpio’s business idea could lead to a lucrative partnership opportunity. Dare to say yes.
