HOROSCOPE

All signs: We have the all clear today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today: This is a mystical, mysterious day. Basically, you will feel laid-back and relaxed. In fact, you might be lost in fantasies and daydreams. It will please you to keep a low profile and work alone or behind the scenes. Take it easy and send out for dark chocolate.

Sunday: For the first half of today, you might feel a tad gloomy or cut off from others. Then as the day progresses, it just gets better and better. That’s because the Moon moves into your sign and lines up with Venus.

This week: You begin this week in a sensible frame of mind. Monday is a great day for serious discussions with others, especially older or more powerful people. It’s a good day to solidify goals. Quite likely, you will resurrect ideas that you considered in the past and now are ready to trot them out again with a new spin.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Today: You will enjoy the company of a female friend or companion today and you will empathize with her. If you can help her, you will. Be careful of idealizing this person or putting her on a pedestal. This is not ideal or realistic.

Sunday: At some point, you might have difficulty dealing with a woman or an authority figure. You might feel they squelch your style or hold you back. But this is temporary. Later in the day, you feel oh so pleased with yourself!

This week: It is all about you! Not only is the Sun in your sign for the next three weeks, this Wednesday the only New Moon in your sign all year will occur. This means this week is the perfect time to make resolutions and goals for your future. Give this serious thought. Define goals with deadlines.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: You feel sympathetic toward others today, especially a female or someone in a position

of power — perhaps your boss or your mother or another older woman or someone more experienced. It’s good to feel sympathetic for someone. However, remain realistic.

Sunday: You will be high visibility today, but it might be stressful. Perhaps it’s because someone in the position of authority singles you out for extra duties. Fortunately, this is short-lived, and you will enjoy good times with friends, especially females.

This week: You will blow hot and cold this week because there are contradictory influences for your sign. The placement of the Sun will coax you to pull away from the busyness of everything around you. You will prefer to lie low, with a nice drink in your hand. You might want to work alone or behind the scenes. However, in contradiction, fiery Mars in your sign urges you to jump into new situations.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Today: Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places, art galleries, museums and parks or, of course, nature. You might also be inspired talking to someone from another culture or a different country.

Sunday: Travel plans might disappoint. But very soon this passes and you will bask in the praise of others. As the day wears on, people will admire you and seek out your creative advice.

This week: This is a popular week for you. Wednesday, the New Moon is the best day all year for you to think about the friendships that you have. What kind of friends you have? What kind of friends do you want in your life? For that matter, what kind of friend are you to others? Travel for pleasure certainly appeals, especially if someone else pays!

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22) Today: If you are discussing an inheritance or how to divide something today, remain realistic. Don’t give away the farm. It’s good to be sympathetic to others. However, you cannot ignore your own best interests. Everyone counts — including you.

Sunday: Initially, you might feel a financial squeeze today. Or that others aren’t pulling their fair share or you’re disappointed with your fair share, which ain’t so fair. Fear not because on the heels of this, you start to enjoy good times in a different environment. People from other cultures will fawn over you.

This week: Because the Sun is still at high noon in your chart, you will continue to be high visibility this week. People notice you, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. Not to worry because

you look fabulous in their eyes. Knowing that you have this advantage, make your pitch to your boss. Mid-week the New Moon is at the top of your chart, which means this is an excellent time to think about where you want to be in the next three years.

Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22) Today: Be prepared to compromise with others and accommodate them because you have to go more than halfway today due to the fact the Moon is opposite your sign. In two weeks, when the Moon is in your sign, others will have to accommodate you. That’s how it works.

Sunday: Be patient with partners and close friends earlier today because after a bit of stress, things improve beautifully. In fact, you will be the beneficiary of the generosity of others. Just smile and say, “Thank you.” You deserve it.

This week: Both the Sun and the New Moon on Wednesday make this the perfect week to travel or make travel plans. It’s also a good time to plan for future education. Some will make plans in publishing, the media, medicine and the law because you want to expand your world and experience more out of life.

Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22) Today: You will be sympathetic to co-workers today. And quite likely, they will be sympathetic to you as well. In fact, these feelings will extend to your pets and anyone involved in your life in a medical way or related to your own health care.

Sunday: You might feel you have to work too hard or do something that is a bit dreary. Don’t worry about this because it will quickly pass and you will enjoy a popular time with others. Friends and partners will delight you.

This week: This is a passionate time for your sign. And yes, this passion will translate to the bedroom as well as to every aspect of your life. This week you will think about your values, and especially how your values differ from the values of others. You might also come up with a better approach to reducing debt, saving money and dealing with shared property.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21) Today: You are definitely in touch with your muse today, which is why this will be a productive day for those of you in the arts or anyone involved in a creative project. It will also bless those of you in the hospitality industry and the entertainment world. Go do that voodoo you do so well!

Sunday: Children might be a tough responsibility for you. (Like getting teenagers out of bed.) But after this initial bit of

“work,” your day mellows out and you will enjoy doing something that benefits everyone, yourself included.

This week: Your focus on partnerships and close friendships is very strong this week. With the New Moon opposite your sign (this is the only time all year this happens), it’s the perfect time to ask yourself what you want in a partnership or close friendship. How can you improve an existing relationship?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21) Today: Family discussions will be mutually sympathetic today because people feel kind-hearted and attentive to each other’s needs. There’s nothing phoney about this. It’s genuine. This is a good day for an interaction with a female relative.

Sunday: Initially, today holds responsibilities, duties and challenges dealing with someone older or in a position of authority. But soon after, you are in party mode! Everyone loves you and you love everyone else.

This week: Although you are entertaining at home and probably redecorating and fixing up your digs, your primary focus this week is on work because you want to accomplish a lot. Personally, you want to feel that you are getting better organized. You will want to feel healthier through an exercise regime and better eating.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19) Today: Don’t be hard on yourself if you spend a lot of time daydreaming today or lost in a woolly fog because it’s easy to do. And hey — we all need days like this. Just make sure it’s not a decade. Because your imagination is heightened, you can be very creative.

Sunday: Don’t be worried about something today because this worry is very temporary and will be gone soon. The truth is, you will enjoy a family event or a beautiful gathering at home. Or possibly, a beautiful real estate deal will fall in your lap. Things do get better!

This week: Lucky Capricorns are on vacation because you’re ready to play and have fun! This is a top priority for you this week. The New Moon on Wednesday is the best time all year to think about how well you balance play and work in your life. Balance is the key. All work and no play makes Jack’s wife a widow. And all play and no work makes Jack broke.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18) Today: If spending money today, you might be inclined to go overboard on luxury. And you might also be overly generous with someone. Remember: true generosity is giving what is needed. And remember your own welfare as well.

Sunday: Initially, you might be worried about money. But after this dismal little moment is over, you are suddenly happy, gregarious and keen to socialize with everyone. In fact, you will appreciate the beauty of everything and everyone around you!

This week: This week it’s all about home and your private world. In fact, the New Moon on Wed. is the best day all year to think about how you can improve your family relationships and even improve your home. The whole enchilada! Monday is an excellent day for serious discussions, especially how to deal with some past issues.

Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20) Today: Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with your ruler Neptune, which makes you sympathetic to everyone. You will almost instantly understand where people are coming from, which makes them respond to you in kind. It’s a dreamy, gentle day.

Sunday: At some point, life seems onerous and too much of a duty. Someone in a position of authority has you cornered. But later, you might buy something you really like or you might see ways to boost your income because something improves your mood. And it’s probably financial.

This week: Your fast pace continues as you juggle short trips, errands, discussions with everyone plus increased reading, writing and studying. It’s a busy time — accept it. At the beginning of the week, you will have practical, financial ideas or ways to tackle how to boost your earnings.

If your birthday is today: Actress/ comedienne Sherri Shepherd (1967) shares your birthday. You are an unusual combination of being hard-working and focused and yet, a unique free spirit. Something you’ve been involved with for nine years will end this year in order to make room for something new to enter your world. Although this is a year of service to others, it is also a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle in your future.

If your birthday is Sunday: TV host John Oliver (1977) shares your birthday. You are quick thinking and curious about many things. You have strong family ties. You are now in the beginning of a new nine-year cycle, which will offer you many new possibilities and opportunities.
