ARIES
(March 21-April 19)

GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)

Financial discussions will definitely present a squeeze play for you today. Very likely, someone older, more experienced or in authority will tell you why something can’t be done. Do your planning, but play your cards close to your chest. Tonight: Check your finances.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)

Relations with spouses, partners and close friends might be strained today because people are critical or cold. This makes you feel out of touch with others. (And you are a sensitive sign.) Let this go. This is a fleeting dark cloud on your horizon. Tonight: Cooperate.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)

VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Financial issues look tight today, which is why spending money on leisure activities or your children may seem questionable. (“Should I do this?”) You’d rather save your money.

Tonight: Check your money and possessions.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Life looks worse than it is today. Keep this in mind and remind yourself to stay positive – because you can. Sometimes happiness is a state of mind; it’s a choice.

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Home and family are your focus, and today you want to socialize. Nevertheless, for some reason, you feel cut off from others, which is why you might seek solitude. Don’t listen to criticism. It’s not real. Things look worse than they are today. Courage! Tonight: Solitude.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
You might be disappointed in a friend today. They might criticize you or fail to respond to your needs. You might even feel cut off from someone.
