Competition at work is a source of stress. Continue to work hard and your efforts will be rewarded. The opportunity for some new training or to learn a new skill may present itself. Spend wisely right now and be careful to avoid injury or accidents during travel. Now is the time to rethink your priorities. You are focused on your achievements at work as well as spending quality time with loved ones. Investments and bets may be fruitful soon. Resist the urge to go buy the latest gadget. Instead, repay any debts and focus on financial freedom.

Stand strong as the Taurus moon opposes Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and your eighth house of desire, dangling forbidden fruit in front of you. Your willpower will be MIA, whether you’re tempted by retail therapy or an ill-advised flirtation with someone unavailable. Since the messenger planet is rewinding, that temptation may arrive with a familiar face attached. Rather than gratifying your impulses, make a more constructive choice. Pulling a statement item from the back of your closet and pairing it with basics isn’t as thrilling as buying a whole new outfit. But the rave responses on social media will provide a dopamine hit!
