HOROSCOPE

All signs: After 3 a.m., we’re clear today to shop and do business. The moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21 — April 19) Today: Keep your cool, especially dealing with family members. People are argumentative. Explosions with authority figures might occur. Be patient.

Sunday: You might have intense, over-the-top conversations with a family member (especially female), yet you’ll benefit from the resources of others. Something to do with shared property or an inheritance will favour you.

This week: Four planets are in your sign, including retrograde Mercury. Silly mistakes, mixedup communications, missed appointments, lost items, transportation delays and encounters with ex-partners are par for the course. Mid-week something unusual, fun and exciting will occur. Your ambition is aroused and will stay this way until almost June. By Friday, tension before the full moon opposite your sign on Saturday might arise. Cool your Jets. This is a fabulous year to get a mortgage, loan or benefit from the resources of others.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Today: Avoid arguments with relatives. People are aggressive (including you). This could be a response to an obstacle or being forced to deal with someone difficult. Cope as best you can.

Sunday: Intense discussions about race, religion or politics might take place. Relations with a partner or close friend are warm.

This week: A gaggle of planets in Aries is hiding in your chart, which means you’re busy but you’re busy behind the scenes. This will help you wrap up old business and meet deadlines you blew. Some of you will encounter unexpected love. Meanwhile, Mars continues to urge you to travel and explore opportunities in higher education, publishing, medicine and the law. Legal battles are likely. Saturday’s full moon could trigger problems with co-workers. Fortunately, relations with your main squeeze are yummy!

Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: Disputes about money

or possessions might occur. You might try to establish something, based on banking or the resources of others, but are blocked. This is discouraging.

Sunday: Power struggles about shared property, shared responsibilities or differing values might take place. Nevertheless, anything health related or job related will be a positive experience. You might also boost your income.

This week: Enjoy the company of friends, especially younger people. You’ll also hang out with creative types more than usual. Old faces will appear and amaze you. New love or exciting flirtations might excite you mid-week. You might also meet someone unusual. Meanwhile, your sex drive is amped and will stay this way until June. The full moon Saturday might introduce tension starting Friday with kids or romantic partners. Continue to enjoy wonderful opportunities to improve your job and health.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Today: It’s the kind of day where everyone wants to tell you why you can’t do something. Authority figures are tough. Even partners and close friends are not fully co-operative. Don’t expect too much from others.

Sunday: The moon is in your sign at odds with Pluto, which means your interactions are intense. However, the moon is dancing nicely with lucky, moneybags Jupiter, which brings fun, social diversions.

This week: You continue to be high visibility and make a great impression. Something midweek will delight you. It could be a raise, praise or a flirtation that leads to a romance with a boss. Whatever happens will please you. Meanwhile, you might experience tension with partners or a close friend. Patience is your only recourse. You’ll also need patience at the end of the week, when the full moon takes place Saturday, because this will stir the pot at home, especially with a female family member. The ace you’re holding is the sun is at the top of your chart making you look wonderful.

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22) Today: Conflicts at work are likely. Be the voice of reason. If you’re not sure what to do, do nothing. Be part of the solution — not part of the problem. But you know this.

Sunday: Don’t try to win a discussion today at work because it’s not worth it. The harder you try, the more opposition you will encounter. Just go with the flow. This is an ideal day to hide somewhere or cocoon at home among familiar, comfy surroundings. Junk food and daytime TV!

This week: Your urge to travel is strong! You’re hungry to expand your world, which is why you’re studying, reading, watching movie and visiting fascinating

places while you talk to captivating people. You want to be stimulated! Despite your desire for these exciting diversions, you’re busting your buns and working hard. (Mars will guarantee this until June.) However, be careful by the end of the week because the full moon introduces an accident-prone quality — both verbal and physical. Slow down and pay attention to everything you say and do. Be prudent. Be safe. Continue to explore real estate opportunities and chances to improve your home.

Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22) Today: Lover’s quarrels are likely. Likewise, you might find it difficult dealing with your kids because of meltdowns. Romantic partners might squabble about shared expenses or the division of labour. Relax — things look worse than they really are.

Sunday: Be patient with children. Likewise, be patient with a romantic partner or an argument might arise. The irony is you feel upbeat and ready to enjoy the company of friends and groups.

This week: The celestial heavens demand your attention about inheritances, taxes, debt, insurance and the resources of someone else. You might have to deal with someone’s values that differ from yours. This is where Mercury retrograde will help. You will be expedient and efficient in wrapping up loose ends that previously confounded you. A surprise gift, goody or favour will come your way mid-week. Competitive sports and love affairs are in the picture. Be patient at the end of the week about financial matters because the full moon will bring something to a head.

Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22) Today: It’s a poor day to ask for approval from an authority figure. Their response will be, “Talk to the hand!” Don’t even go there.

Sunday: Look for ways to boost your income because they do exist. Meanwhile, don’t get caught up in domestic power struggles with a family member because you won’t win. Go with what works and avoid what’s not.

This week: Discussions with or about ex-partners and old friends will occur. Something mid-week will surprise you. Relations with current partners are warm. (This strong emphasis on partnerships is because four planets oppose your sign.) Tread carefully at home dealing with family members because fiery Mars will create tension. This could be due to visiting guests, renovations or differing opinions. On Saturday, the only full moon in your sign all year takes place, further exacerbating your relationships with partners.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21) Today: Discussions are tense, especially with relatives. Even exchanges at work are charged with aggression. Never forget how

sensitive and touchy people are.

Sunday: Travel opportunities might drop in your lap. You might have big ideas about a school paper, manuscript or something related to the media, medicine and law. Meanwhile, avoid arguments and power trips with relatives and neighbours.

This week: You’re in hustle mode! This heavy Aries emphasis takes place in your house of employment and health and urges you to be productive. You also want to be trim and healthy. Motivation is everything. Don’t be down on yourself if you don’t follow through. Just stay motivated because the results will come. Midweek something surprising will delight you that is work-related or something to do with your health or a pet. It could mean money or a sweet gift. Mars gives you tons of energy until June to be active daily and to speak up.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21) Today: Financial matters and matters to do with kids and social occasions are up for grabs. Relationships with romantic partners might also be tense.

Sunday: It’s a good day to talk with someone about shared property, wills, inheritances or shared responsibilities. Quite likely, you’ll come out ahead in this discussion, especially in a financial way. But the conversation could be intense.

This week: It’s still fun city! Grab every chance to party or slip away on a vacation. Enjoy sports, the arts, playful activities with children, entertaining diversions, fun time with pals, romance and Sunday brunches. Do whatever lifts your spirits. Mid-week something will delight. It could be an unexpected flirtation. A surprise invitation. Joy through a child. With this fun schedule, no wonder you’re hemorrhaging money — but you’re also working hard to make it. Be patient at the end of the week because the full moon might create problems with friends, lovers or your kids.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19) Today: Arguments with partners and a family member might arise. For the most part, this is just an expression of ego. Does it really matter? Think about what you want, and let the rest of it go.

Sunday: Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the moon is opposite your sign. Fortunately, people will be upbeat and forthcoming. You might also have an intense competition with someone.

This week: Your focus on home and family continues. Relatives you haven’t seen for a while are back. A spontaneous party might occur mid-week. You might also buy something high-tech for your home. A family member will have pleasing news. Meanwhile, Mars is in your sign and will stay there until June, pumping your energy, making you proactive in everything you do. The full moon Saturday creates a conflict between home and family versus your career and reputation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18) Today: Refrain from getting into intense arguments, especially with relatives. Be patient with co-workers. You want to enlighten others about your ideas, not convince them. Just be yourself.

Sunday: Work-related travel might occur. If so, you’ll enjoy it. Something behind the scenes might be festering, and this might create some difficulties. Take the high road and deal with matters in a straightforward way.

This week: Your fast pace is plagued with transportation delays and mixed-up communications. Nevertheless, mid-week, something delightful will please you. It might be a spontaneous short trip. An exciting social occasion with a sibling or relative. It might be money or good news about a writing project or something to do with school. Meanwhile, if you think something fishy is going on, you’re right. Stay on top of things. The full moon at the end of the week might bring financial disputes about shared property to a head.

Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20) Today: Be considerate of friends to avoid an impasse. Likewise, be patient with children and romantic partners. Don’t get uptight about money issues or anything to do with something you own.

Sunday: Although you might have a dispute with a friend or a member of a group, this is a positive day. Enjoy sports events, outdoor activities and travel if you can. Romance will be special.

This week: You have a strong focus on money with a mixed message: Retrograde Mercury will delay money coming to you. Nevertheless, mid-week, a happy surprise will occur. It could be a raise. It might be a gift. It might be a spontaneous purchase. Physical activity and perhaps a competition will energize your dealings with friends and groups. Continue to look for ways to travel. Saturday’s full moon might introduce money tensions or disputes about property.
