ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★★
You’re impulsive and highly creative. Today you might have an original idea that surprises everyone. Don’t hesitate to share what you think, even if it sounds a bit touchy-feely or too “out there.” Meanwhile, keep working hard, busting your buns. Tonight: Conversations.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
You might have some unusual ideas about making money or increasing your earnings. Admittedly, something unexpected also might impact something that you own.

GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★★★
This is an unusually powerful day for you because the Moon is in your sign enhanced by several planets. You’ll be an effective communicator who might inspire a friend or a group. However, guard against impulsive, rash actions, because your moods will change quickly. Keep your eyes open! Tonight: You win!
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
You might feel restless today. Make no assumptions when dealing with authority figures (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police), because there is a possibility of confusion or misunderstandings. Today you have strong ideas about shared property, inheritances and debt. Tonight: Enjoy privacy.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
A friend might say or do something that catches you off guard today, or perhaps a member of a group. Possibly, something unusual, even in the news, makes you feel sympathetic to someone and you want to help. Meanwhile, conversations with partners and close friends could be intense. Tonight: Be friendly.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
Keep your eye on authority figures today, including parents. They might do something that you least expect. (“Busted!”) It can be minor, or it could be major. Don’t break the rules. Ask for permission. Some of you will look for ways to improve your health or your job. Tonight: You’re admired.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Travel plans might be interrupted today. Or you might suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so. Romantic exchanges as well as interactions with kids might be intense. You might even feel jealous. Meanwhile, you’ll want to help a partner or someone close to you. Tonight: Explore!
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Think twice before you make an important financial decision today, especially if giving someone else money or sharing something. Don’t be rash. Give everything a sober second thought, even if you want to help someone. Also, guard against an obsession! Tonight: Check your finances.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball today. Be ready for something unexpected. Someone might be jealous or they might misunderstand something, even a gesture of generosity or caring on your part. Fortunately, you make a great impression on everyone. Tonight: Be cooperative.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
Your work routine will be interrupted today. Equipment breakdowns, staff shortages, late deliveries – something will occur. Guard against being obsessed about something, perhaps meeting a deadline or going by the rulebook. Stay flexible. In the passage of time, will this really matter? Keep things in perspective. Tonight: Get better organized.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Furthermore, information about social outings, your kids and sports events might be confusing or misleading. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Tonight: Have some fun!
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or something unexpected could happen. Someone might appear at your door. Stay cool.
