Spending with care

You want to feel safe with money today
You may feel strongly about money, both good and bad. Let the feeling pass before you decide anything. A calm mind makes better choices with money.
Contracts and agreements deserve a careful read while Mercury passes through your sector of commitments. Ask your questions now rather than discovering awkward surprises after you’ve already signed.
With the Moon in step with Mars, you have a useful burst of drive, so tackle the job you’ve been dreading while the motivation lasts.
Thankfulness for your comforts strengthens your footing, so notice what you already have and appreciate it.
The Moon moves into Cancer at your time, turning attention to communication and learning (your 3rd house).
Love
8/10
Romance feels a bit brighter today. A compliment or a small surprise can bring you and someone else closer. Today the Moon meets Venus at a good angle in the sky. Venus is the planet of love, so this is good for love. The Sun is in Scorpio, your house of partners. The Sun there gives love a little more warmth.
Career
5/10
Your work life is calm today. There is little pressure, and there is also little extra push to help you. Today the Moon meets Venus at a good angle in the sky. Venus rules your house of work and health, so this helps your work along. Saturn, the ruler of your house of career, is in Aries. Saturn is at its weakest in Aries, seems to move backward and sets after the Sun. That makes work harder.
Energy
6/10
Your body has the usual amount of drive today. Effort feels normal, and you recover from it in good time. Today the Moon meets Venus at a good angle in the sky. Venus is your own ruling planet, so this lifts your energy. Venus, your own ruling planet, is in Libra. Venus seems to move backward, sits near the Sun's glare and moves slower than usual. That lowers your energy.
