Sunday, August 23

The influence of the Sun, Venus and Uranus today tends to make your day a little unpredictable. You may even experience love at first sight, whether you are single or already in a relationship. Someone you've never met before exerts a powerful attraction for you.

Be careful how you react, this could cause you lots of problems. At work too you may suddenly be tempted to speak your mind loud and clear. Such frankness is not always well received, especially at work, so expect some lively reactions from your colleagues if you succumb.

When it comes to finances you're unlikely to be jumping for joy. Your bank account may be looking a little depleted this August 23. Lucky for you that today only lasts 24 hours. Let's hope things are getting back to normal by tomorrow.
