ARIES

TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Because your home routine might be interrupted today, get dressed and stock the fridge. Be patient with family members. Once the dust settles, a conversation with someone older (perhaps a parent) might give some structure and direction to things. Tonight: Relax at home.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★

CANCER
(June 21-July 22)

LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★

★★★
Very likely, this is a restless day for you. It could be because of money and possessions, because these things are on your mind.

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
A friend or a member of a group might surprise you today. Or, alternatively, you might surprise them. Travel plans and issues related to medicine, the law and publishing are unpredictable.
