ARIES
(March 21-April 19)

TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
A dispute with a friend about money, the cost of something or perhaps a possession that you own might arise today. It could create a sudden rift. This issue also might take place with a group instead of a friend. Keep your eyes open to avoid losses. (Gulp.) Tonight: Warm friendships.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)

LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)

VIRGO

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Today is unpredictable, perhaps even explosive. It’s also accident-prone. Therefore, keep your wits about you. Patience will be your best friend. Think before you speak or act. Don’t make a big deal about anything. (Five years from now, will this matter?) Take it easy. Tonight: You win!
