ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Tread carefully today, because it’s easy to get into an argument, especially with your kids or even a romantic partner. Very likely, the dispute will be about shared expenses, shared property or perhaps differing values. Do what you can to keep the peace. Tonight: Check your finances.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★
Issues with others might be stressful today because the Moon is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars, which is sitting in the part of your chart related to home and family. This is the classic indication of needless disputes, irritability, tension and grievances. Yikes! Run away! Tonight: Cooperate.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Avoid arguments related to your work, your health or even a pet today. There also might be disputes related to money, cash flow or something that you own. Instead, focus on playful, fun-loving times. You’re up for this! Go with what works. Tonight: Get better organized.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Home, family and interactions with a parent might be your focus today. However, disputes with romantic partners or your kids might arise, especially regarding disagreements about money, possessions and who should pay for what. Take the high road. (The view is better.) Tonight: Socialize!
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Squabbles with family members can arise easily today. Knowing this ahead of time, consider this an opportunity to practice patience, which is a marvelous virtue to cultivate. When you think about it, you can only practice patience when it’s being tested. Capisce? Today is your chance! Tonight: Relax at home.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Avoid silly, irritable squabbles with siblings, relatives and daily contacts. They might escalate into something nasty and regrettable. They can also ruin your peace of mind and the peace of mind of everyone around you. Instead, focus on the beauty of your daily surroundings. Tonight: An interesting conversation.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Did you know that people are more secretive about their money than they are their sex life? Oh yes, money is a big deal. This could be one reason you might be in an argument with a friend or a member of a group. Questions about money, cash flow and possessions will arise today. Be cool. Tonight: Check your possessions.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
This is a challenging day for you. The Moon in your sign is at odds with fiery Mars at the top of your chart, which is a signal that you might be irritated with authority figures – parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. How’s that working out for you? Demonstrate grace under pressure. Tonight: You win!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Be smart and steer clear of controversial subjects related to politics, religion and racial issues. These conversations will become arguments that could ruin your day – and someone else’s. Why even go there? Instead, be friendly! Tonight: Enjoy privacy.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Your reputation matters to you because respect is important. Right now people admire you because the Sun is at the top of your chart. You look good. Meanwhile, it’s easy to get bogged down in silly arguments with friends or groups about shared expenses and shared responsibilities. Remember: You’re noticed. Tonight: Be friendly.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Your main objective today might be to avoid saying something you will later regret. (I’m serious.) This is because people notice you, and you might get involved in an argument with a partner, spouse or close friend. Make smart choices. Tonight: You’re admired.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Avoid arguments and disagreements about political, religious and racial issues today. You’ll only end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) Instead, decide to use your energy to sort out things and get organized. Travel and explore new ideas. Avoid conflict. Tonight: Explore and learn.
