ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★
Right off the bat, be aware that your confidence might not be strong today. Furthermore, you’ll feel challenged, especially at work. It won’t be easy to get people to agree with you or to advance your agenda. Go gently. (And don’t worry about second-guessing yourself.) Tonight: You’re restless.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Discussions with a friend or a member of a group might be challenging today. Someone might make you feel diminished. Perhaps this person is older or more experienced, especially with issues related to kids, social outings or sports. Stand firm. Tonight: You might encounter a character.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★
This is a poor day to ask authority figures for permission. Don’t even go there. Today’s Lunar Eclipse is taking place at the top of your chart, which means your relations with authority figures (including the police) are challenged! Sit this one out. Tonight: Something unexpected.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Steer clear of controversial subjects today. They’ll be too difficult to handle. You might be railroaded by the law, rules and regulations — something that will oppress you. Furthermore, this is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Tonight: Possible travel.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
There’s a squeeze play today regarding your finances or something that you own. Or perhaps it’s something that you owe to someone else or the government. Yikes! Things are coming to a head, no doubt. Stay calm and don’t be rash. Let the dust settle. Tonight: Check your finances.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★
The Full Moon today (which is a Lunar Eclipse) involves your sign because it is in opposition of the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This is why you feel increased tension when dealing with partners and close friends. Take it easy. Don’t make a big deal about anything. Tread carefully. Tonight: A curveball!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Issues that are work-related or perhaps something to do with your health or a pet could be challenging today. Basically, this is related to the Full Moon energy that is coming to a head. It’s important to know this energy dissipates in 48 hours. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Tonight: Check your pets.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Parents should be cautious today, because today’s Full Moon could be accident-prone for your kids. It also might create havoc with social plans and issues related to sports, vacations or the arts. In fact, anything to do with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry will be dicey. Tonight: Plans change.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Today you might feel caught in a tug-of-war between the responsibilities of home and family versus the responsibilities of your career or your public reputation. (You’re caught between a rock and a hard place.) Increased responsibilities with a parent might be onerous. Cope as best you can. Tonight: Company!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Pay attention to everything you say and do today, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Also, resist the urge to be self-critical. Life will look different in a day or two. This is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon. Tonight: Be alert.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Financial situations will be challenging today. Something might fall through. You might feel broke. A bad purchase could create regret. It could be anything. Hang in there, because by Thursday, things will look radically different! Tonight: Check your belongings.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
This is a challenging day, because the Full Moon (which is a Lunar Eclipse) is taking place in your sign. This could create tension between you and partners, close friends and even members of the general public. Stay chill. It will be gone in 48 hours. Tonight: Freedom!
