IntroductionSpecial month chartCompatibility with other signs

A prediction for each month could help a person to plan ahead for commitments, avoid any possible unhappy event and uncover the potential success the month might bring.

***Good Luck and Wishes Come True!***

HEALTH: Skeletal or joint injury is likely to cause serious pain to those that have been involved in an accident. One should not underestimate the seriousness of such old injury at this stage and IF one feels that the present treatment is not making much progress, then one should start to seek alternative treatment. Taking painkillers over a prolonged period is not likely to cure the injury, merely easing the suffering of the pain. Remember to abstain from eating acidic food and drink until one has fully recovered from the injury.

LUCK: Instead of adopting your usual determination to overcome opposition, first investigate the source of problems. Obviously this is going to take longer than envisaged. However you will begin a process of exploration that will reveal far more than the reasons behind the difficulties you are facing. Some involve changes in circumstances of which you were unaware. Others may make you realise you are fighting for something no longer of importance to you; it is about time to make some changes.

MONEY: The trick to handling current financial concerns about unruly circumstances, others' problems and your own is "to do nothing". It may sound strange or bizarre, but these are part of a much more far-reaching pattern of change that extends into early next month. Not until then will you have any better idea about what you are dealing with.

ROMANCE: Forgive and forget are likely to be the motto of the month especially for those that are having a bad moment with loved ones. One should have known by now that no human being is perfect on this planet, including oneself. Hence why kick up a major fuss over minor matters? The ability to balance the practice of giving and taking from both parties should certainly improve the relationship. Maybe it is time to have a hearty one to one talk; hopefully ironing out any misunderstanding.

HEALTH: There is no denying that certain events triggered by superb aspects are exciting. They combine new ideas, which one so loves to explore with potentially rewarding arrangements. Yet one is hesitant whether to proceed. This is not about what is on offer, but having to decide taking things further and perhaps abandoning activities that one regarded as central to the fabric of life. It's the gap in your emotional existence that one is worrying about. But one is unlikely to discover just how much until one takes a risk on what is on offer.

LUCK: One of your greatest skills is dancing around difficult subjects, either putting off discussions until he mood's improved or avoiding unappealing ones altogether. However there is likely to be outside party's interference creating considerable confusion and you are better off tackling even unsavoury matters. What comes to light as a result of these exchanges could reveal solutions for even the most frustrating of dilemmas.

MONEY: Typically before you make a plan, you try to ensure that everybody else is happy. However with so much changing round you and in other's lives, this could drive you round the bend. So the big question is - are you ready to make plans without holding discussions? And perhaps even more daring, you are considering changing them the next day without a word to others. This may be out of character but it will make life a lot easier.

ROMANCE: By now you have probably realised that urgent as certain obligations seem, the focus is on creating a balance between life's duties and pleasures. Until recently both seemed obvious, then events forced you to acknowledge that things must change. However that is not your biggest challenge, it is the painstaking review of priorities you should regard as rock solid.

HEALTH: It is perfectly natural and normal that one wants to know what one is getting into before reaching any agreements relating to personal or loved one's health. There is not much point or benefit in driving yourself and loved ones crazy with questions about minor details and practices that should work out anyway. Over-concern for their well-being may seem to be natural and a caring thing to do, but at times one should also try to let things rest and take its natural course.

LUCK: Obviously you want to keep meaningful arrangements afloat. However you are in the midst of a far-reaching pattern of change. Struggle to sustain plans and you will only need to rearrange them promptly. Regard them as tentative and when working with others, encourage them to do the same and together you will explore the wide range of options appearing. Knowing that when the time is right, you will be able to pick and choose.

MONEY: At the beginning of the period, you will finally realise that you must not take responsibilities for others' unwise decisions. Instead of worrying, discuss your concerns and seek solutions together. With the emphasis on new ideas, you are better off learning as much as you can. Add the facts that circumstances are shifting progressively, and life is about exploration, as an interim measure, tidying up loose plans into proper order would be recommended. Once the right note appears, strike without hesitation.

ROMANCE: For ages, someone close at heart has been hinting that if one could manage to be patient, something could happen that may resolve numerous issues involving personal relationship. No doubt one is dubious about the initial thoughts and since then one has become cynical about things ever breaking what one regards as a relentless pattern. Recent events could restore faith and one will be amazed when things that appear from out of the blue work out so spectacularly well.

HEALTH: Sudden changes in circumstances and run-ins with family members are about eliminating confusion. You have been glossing over tensions for ages, feeling there was little likelihood of remedying such persistent issues. Similarly misunderstandings involving medical fees or who is responsible for what have become so complicated that one has to focus on putting those behind you. In these situations, one should be outspoken about the facts and make your feelings known. Be prepared for disagreement with those affected.

LUCK: Discussions may be either irritating or require you to reveal more than you like. However within days they are bringing you far more - in terms of unexpected support and insights about others than you anticipated. This could be the spur for a new openness and flexibility in arrangements, personal or otherwise about which you have recently been rather protective. This is the perfect timing as it prepares you for coming unsettling but ultimately remarkable developments.

MONEY: Frustrating as delays may be, each offers a valuable insight. Some concern the situations you are dealing with. Even more important these are forcing you to move at a slower pace than is your style. Obviously this is irritating but it forces you to review the actual situations in question. While this may seem pointless now, you will be prepared for the swift decisions demanded in three weeks time, which promises to transform your life.

ROMANCE: You may already be experiencing the combination of excitement and anxiety that comes with this month's new moon. Remember this when facing this period's seemingly minor but unsettling changes. Question them but with an eye to learning where they could take you. Judging by the excitement this new cycle is triggering, this is only the beginning of a thrilling journey.

HEALTH: To you, life is too short to waste time counting the small change, both literally and metaphorically. However with the current intense focus on personal or loved ones health situation, everything from your time and ideas to events are forcing you to do exactly that and in several different ways. You may be shocked to learn that you are depriving those you care about most, while unimportant matters are getting the lion's share of your attention.

LUCK: Luck appears in many guises or formats and often what is ultimately most welcome is most disruptive in the short term. While you have felt restless for ages, you have had no clear direction, and as the world itself is in profound transition, but you will not be in the same situation; instead try to explore for the sheer joy of it and you will be amazed at what you discover. Either you can treat it as a miracle or something beyond your wildest dreams.

MONEY: Those who offer financial advice based on pure logic mean well but have no understanding of the nature of the situation you are dealing with and even less of your awareness. So listen politely, and you can choose to ignore them after that. Your instincts are telling you correctly that you simply cannot make decisions until after any life changing insights and positive events. Until then, explore absolutely everything and promise nothing.

ROMANCE: It is not that you dislike change; it is that before you get entangled in anything new, you want to know what is involved. However, recent developments that are triggered by social gathering will be so unexpected that even with a detailed explanation, you remain mystified. So try to do something completely out of character, plunge in headfirst. Challenging, as this may seem now, what you learn and discover may more than justify the courage required.

HEALTH: Strange as making pivotal decisions without consulting those involved seems, you have little choice. Instead of seeking others' agreement, you are forced to explore all sorts of unconventional options. This is not just informative; it substantially alters your perspective on the situation and sometimes loved ones involved. The resulting insights make you realise that you are on your own. Just as important, you realise even the simplest of plans must be regarded as tentative.

LUCK: Much as you dislike even considering the idea, it is possible that somebody is not being entirely straight with you. This could apply to practical, business or financial matters or those of a more personal nature. There were hints of such things not too long ago and if you followed these up, you may already have been dealing with the issues and the individual involved. If not, it is time to investigate anything that just does not add up.

MONEY: By now you probably begin to realise that some of the recent dilemmas you thought you would just have to live with are becoming part of the past. This is not merely a relief; it renews your faith about other equally complex situations. By the latter part of the month, positive circumstances accent your assets and financial situations, beginning a cycle during which some of these more persistent problems will gradually varnish completely.

ROMANCE: The rather tricky developments reshaping elements of your relationship and world around have already convinced you that progress must come in stages. Unlikely as it seems, many of the irritating problems and contentious issues you are facing actually offer an opportunity to get to the bottom of situations you have long regarded as suspicious. There is no better thing than to confront the issues head on whenever possible, but remember to exercise great diplomacy.

HEALTH: Obviously one must make personal views abundantly clear to loved ones or family members, so do not assume that one should resist the changes taking place concerning your health. Some of them may start to change your life style without consulting you. It may be true that one can be worried that others are taking over, but one is not capable of making certain vital decisions, one may just have to leave fate in the hands of those who know best under such circumstances. The situation may not be a bad as one fears.

LUCK: You have already sensed that elements of your way of living and working are in transition. Now you learn more about these potential changes. While every sign and indeed the world around you will be significantly altered by profound shifts. There must be some forthright conversations and serious improvements; otherwise these will have to go. Although you may not have all the facts, you already sense that something far better is coming your way.

MONEY: Do not mistake problems as a sign that promising events are going wrong. It is just that developments are moving so swiftly and are so far reaching that some chaos is inevitable. While your instincts are telling you this, others are obsessing about concerns, which actually worsens them. Tempting, as it is to defend your ideas, say nothing at this stage if you can. By the middle of the month, things will look very different and those huge anxieties should be history.

ROMANCE: The unceremonious changes currently causing certain chaos in elements of your relationship are best dealt with by thinking back to past situations that were equally negative but which as one is viewing them in retrospect, actually constituted a positive outcome. One seems to be reliving similar experiences or perhaps considers to be trapped in the "twilight zone", but should be wiser by now not to be repeating the same mistakes, do decide which route to take and hope for the best outcome.

HEALTH: As can happen to anyone, you may accidentally discover a situation in which you have acted unwisely. Ideally you catch it before others notice, so you can make emergency repairs. However during this month, you are unlikely to be able to keep anything under wraps. Your best strategy is not just to be open, but also to seek medical professional guidance. It is never too late to confront the issue promptly and there is nothing to feel embarrassed about personal privacy.

LUCK: When rather personal issues first arose, you tended to employ the techniques you usually use to avoid answering invasive questions. However you are now recognising that one or two individuals know more than you realise and are in a unique position to advise you. Trust does not come easy, yet if you are to benefit from their wisdom, it is vital. Bizarrely, once you reveal certain facts, you wonder why you struggled so to keep them under wraps.

MONEY: The unceremonious changes in your work or lifestyle triggered by the recent government's economical budget tightening regimes, may be causing disarray but they are also forcing you to recognise how draining certain activities or alliances are. There must be some forthright conversations and serious improvements; otherwise these will have to go. Although you may not have all the facts until mid-month that you already sense something far better is coming your way.

ROMANCE: What began as worrying discussions about which you care deeply, swiftly deteriorate into rather worrying setbacks. Obviously one is not happy about this. However this is only highlighting matters that need to be discussed or dealt with anyway. Doubts or feelings of powerlessness are never easy to face but once you are grappling with them, one will discover the appropriate solutions. They have always been there but due to anger, frustration or hatred, one failed to uncover the layers of obstacles.

HEALTH: One does not have to worry excessively about being slightly overweight and influenced by the obesity obsessed media publication. It is more important to stay healthy; enjoy life rather than having to slim down to meet public expectation. What is possibly beneficial to others might not necessarily be good for you. There is no guarantee that the majority of the slimming diets will work permanently. If one is still concerned about how one looks in public, then perhaps one could start by eating more sensibly, stay away from high sugar, protein or fatty foods and get more exercise. Adopting a sensible approach will be more effective than mere speculation.

LUCK: Urgent as things seem, responding swiftly to unsettling events will merely complicate matters. Even seemingly straightforward changes are part of a more complex pattern that may not be clear immediately. Well, until then life can seem restless. Acknowledging that, make whatever necessary adjustments you must or could, always conscious that you will be making lots more before all is said and done.

MONEY: You are not in any mood of exploration your options. Instead you are contending with worrying developments in several situations, which are not helping much. Urgent as these seem, the ground on which they are based is shifting continuously, which means the time you invest in putting things could be wasted. Unwise as it may be to allow things to disintegrate, what has the strength and energy to survive the current unruly period will last and what does not will be replaced by something far better or efficient.

ROMANCE: Frequent changing temperamental scenarios are affecting those in a relationship, especially those with a considerable age gap difference or from different cultural backgrounds. One needs to tread carefully and calm down before responding to arguments or confrontation. In such a relationship, situations can change under various circumstances and one should be mindful from the outset of the relationship. For younger lovers, they too are experiencing quite a heated or short-burst relationship during this period and hopefully will make-up in the end. Both parties need to control or suppress each other's unstable temperament.

HEALTH: When the body aches more than during the usual daily work or regular exercises, it is trying to warn you that the physical body is unable to cope and ageing quicker than the mindset. When certain weather conditions cause pain to certain parts of the body, it implies that the body is suffering from lack of nutrients and appropriate care. Hence it is about time to take corrective steps to rejuvenate or recuperate the tired body's needs before the whole situation becomes more acute. Never too late to prevent such condition from happening at this stage as long as one believes and decides to make amends in order to stay healthy.

LUCK: Between the unexpected developments creating upheaval in part of your life and fending off certain individuals who think they know what is best for you, life can be exhausting. Unwelcome as this chaos is, most of what is taking place is in your best interests. While your instincts are probably telling you that, there remains a huge resistance to leaving familiar elements of your life behind. Still what is coming more than justifies it.

MONEY: There are those who will ask your advice then totally ignore it and plunge into risky arrangement anyway. In the past you have bailed them out on various occasions. Recently you begin a cycle of intense focus and review your approach. Ultimately this will result in dramatic changes and it means that you simply cannot allow yourself to be distracted easily again by the dramas of others. Perhaps you have awakened to look after number one first.

ROMANCE: Ignoring pressure from those you care and love about is never easy. However good his/her intentions are, he/she is having little understanding about the situations you are dealing with. So thank him/her graciously for the advice, then quietly do what you know is best, even if you are conscious that eventually there will be comments. Perhaps, by then things will have revealed how wise your decisions were. Just bear in mind not to step onto his/her toes or hurt their pride.

HEALTH: You may have wanted to alter your approach to a better health but are unsure where to begin. This period, it gets you thinking what you are happy with, what not and what you like more of. You will be challenging relentless doubts and getting ready to confront obstacles, dislikes or medical facts. Difficult as it may be to ignore emotional feelings that you must face. There is no easy answer to your preference but the ultimate answer lies within you. If one decides to ignore healthy practices as recommended or suggested by the medical professionals, then do not blame others but only yourself.

LUCK: Illogical and disruptive as the obstacles you are facing seem, each offers a valuable insight. Some have to do with practical issues, others force you to change views based more on past experiences rather than the future. You are intrigued, but cannot be convinced about everything, at least not immediately. While there will be obstacles on virtually every front, they are minor. Actually these complex events are not your biggest challenge; it is maintaining a positive attitude when it is so easy to complain.

MONEY: Sometimes decisions others insist are pressing really are not that urgent. They are merely rushing things for their convenience. Now it is the reverse; even seemingly simple arrangements must be dealt with immediately or sudden changes in the circumstances involved could make decisions for you, meaning the opportunity simply vanishes. If in doubt, trust your instincts. In one or two situations, you have been rehearsing this moment for a while.

ROMANCE: Looking back recently, you will recognize certain insights as having changed your life. While you are living it out, however it will seem that circumstances are unfair and certain individuals uncaring. Part of the problem is they are more aware of potentially troublesome background activities and basing their decisions on that knowledge. They may simply be keeping this to themselves or when tried explaining, you may have dismissed it as pure fiction. It may sound that way, but you are going through a period of change. Acknowledging that is the first step to understanding what is happening and hopefully leads to love and harmony.

HEALTH: By now you have probably discovered that urgent as certain obligations seem, the focus is on creating a balance between life's duties and comforts. Until recently, both seemed obvious. Then events forced you to acknowledge that things must change. However that is not your biggest challenge; it is the painstaking review of priorities you do regard as rock solid. As they shift, you are discovering options that quite literally you never realised existed.

LUCK: Either you have done too much and should try to retreat to reflect on your present position, in terms of time, money and energy or perhaps you have over committed for the coming weeks. Once you actually begin to explore your options, you will discover what you have been missing. This is also a good moment, as friends, those at work and those at home are already discussing revolutionary change. While this means relinquishing what is familiar, you will soon relish the freedom you gain.

MONEY: The biggest challenge for you this month is recognising that even you at your canniest, you could not possibly have anticipated the events currently creating such disarray around you. Equally nobody can predict his or her outcome analysing developments. Instead, you will enjoy this thrilling and often-unruly cycle that lasts throughout this period, and is eliminating obstacles you thought you would simply have to live with for some time.

ROMANCE: It may sound odd to be told that you should pick and choose your passions. However, certain individual and pastimes are beginning to take over from those that are more important to you. Recent dramas further heightened the fascination of those latest interests and could even damage to what, ultimately means far more. While you cannot go back, you can think carefully about what you can do next.
