HOROSCOPES

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

Aries (March 21 — April 19)

Today: Your Spidey Sense is working. You have hunches you can trust, and you think you know what some people are going to say before they say it.

Sunday: This is a feel-good day and you are content. You trust the support you need from others will be forthcoming, which boosts your optimism. Competitive sports and activities with groups will please you. It’s a fun day!

This week: In the next four weeks, you want to experience life at a more feeling level. You’ll be compulsive. (You might not understand this.) This is because a hidden part of yourself is getting more energy. Naturally, this promotes psychological selfinquiry, perhaps with a professional who can help you understand your inner world. This influence lasts for a month once a year and often produces a psychological transformation. It also increases your involvement and concern with finances, shared property and anything you own jointly with a spouse or a business partner. The next four weeks are passionate and intense! Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Today: Your idealism is strong, which is why you will do what you can to help someone or a group, especially if its mandate is charitable or it benefits those who are less fortunate.

Sunday: This is a lovely day to schmooze, especially with a female colleague or some members of groups. You might want to share your hopes and dreams with someone because their feedback will help you. You might be introduced to someone who is different.

This week: The only time all year that the Sun is opposite your sign is during the next four weeks. This means you will learn more about yourself through your oneto-one encounters. You will examine your close relationships to see if they do or do not fulfil your needs. This is not the time to go it alone. It’s an excellent time to consult an expert — lawyer, psychologist, doctor or astrologer. You might experience conflict personally or legally. Meanwhile, you need to get more sleep.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: You might idealize a parent or someone in a position of authority. Just make sure you don’t have Vaseline on your lens. Get the facts.

Sunday: Relations with bosses, parents and VIPs are solid because they see you have wisdom and vision and they want your input. Travel opportunities look promising. You might have an intriguing discussion with someone from another culture.

This week: In the next four weeks, think about how to best manage your life and what responsibilities need your attention. You want to be productive. This is why you will refine your technique or procedure for doing something. (Note: You might also have to work according to someone else’s wishes.) Focus on your health and start to do what you think you should to be the best you can be. Begin by stopping harmful habits and cultivating healthy ones. Go for a walk! Cancer (June 21 — July 22)

Today: Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, you will enjoy art galleries, museums, beautiful parks, gorgeous architectural buildings and any place that inspires your love of beauty. Give yourself this treat. You will also love to discuss profound ideas.

Sunday: Because you’re hungry for adventure and a chance to expand your world, you will enjoy travel or meeting people from other countries so you can learn more. In fact, any kind of profound, interesting discussion will appeal to you. Enjoy movies, the theatre and craft fairs.

This week: The Sun is now in one of the “happiest” parts of your chart for four weeks, which means you’re free to be who you are! Your main goal will be to get out and have a good time! Romance and love affairs will flourish. A vacation would be perfect. You will enjoy socializing, going to sports events, movies, musical performances plus eating out and meeting friends for Happy Hour. Your relationships will be lighthearted and playful. You will enjoy fun activities with kids. Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

Today: You will feel rewarded if you know how to help those less fortunate, especially through fundraising or using the wealth and resources of others. This will be a meaningful activity. After all, kindness is the most important thing. Never miss an opportunity to be kind.

Sunday: This is a good day to ask for help. You might want to borrow something from someone; if so, they will probably say yes. Today you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others, especially if the benefit affects your home or family.

This week: The flashy part of your life will slow down in the next four weeks as you focus on home and family more than usual. What you want now is a solid base for what you’re doing. You might also be involved with a

parent more than usual. Welcome the chance for privacy, especially in familiar surroundings. Basically, not only are you giving yourself a home base to accomplish what you want to do; you are also giving yourself a chance to regenerate. You will recall old memories from your youth because these images bubble to the surface of your mind. Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22) Today: This is a good day for a heart-to-heart talk with a close friend or partner because each of you will feel sympathetic. There will be a common agreement and a common understanding, which will be gratifying.

Sunday: This is a great day to schmooze! Short trips, chats and conversations with neighbours and relatives plus exploring new ideas will please you. You need to get out and be seen as well as see people.

This week: Fasten your seatbelts because, in the next four weeks, your daily pace will accelerate! You face a jam-packed schedule of short trips, errands, tasks, conversations with relatives plus increased reading, writing and studying. But it will be “fun busy”! Slip away on a vacation. Note: Your primary thrust for the month ahead will be communications. You want to enlighten others. You want to tell someone how you feel. This is excellent. However, be aware that communications are a two-way street, so remember to listen! Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22)

Today: You might find yourself in the role of amateur psychologist because someone needs your advice. Or perhaps someone needs a sympathetic ear? Sometimes that’s all someone needs — a sympathetic person to listen.

Sunday: For those of you who are working, this is a productive day. Work-related travel is likely. You might also see ways to boost your income. Even if you are not formally working, whatever task you set for yourself will be enjoyable and productive.

This week: Right now four planets are in your Money House of Earnings: the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. This means you have money-making ideas. Venus will attract money to you and enhance your ability to negotiate. Jupiter will increase your earnings, especially with foreign interests. The Sun makes you assess your wealth and how you use it to be happier. This is why you will also ponder your values. Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21)

Today: This is a great day for those who work in the arts, the movie industry, anything to do with children as well as sports. Romance will be particularly affectionate and caring because you are in touch with your soft heart.

Sunday: This is a playful, flirtatious day! Get dressed and go out in full dazzle! Enjoy sports events, fun activities with children, the arts, and socializing with others. Seek out activities that teach you something new

and give you fresh experiences.

This week: This is a dazzling time because the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter are all in Scorpio! This is the classic example of “Make hay while the Sun shines!” You have many advantages. The Sun energizes you and attracts people and favourable situations to you. Mercury makes you articulate. (You sound smart.) Venus makes you diplomatic and charming; and Jupiter attracts good fortune to you and makes life easier, richer and more rewarding. That’s why this will be one of the most powerful birthday months you’ve ever had. Admittedly, home is chaos and frantic activity. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21) Today: You feel strong sympathy for a family member and if you can help someone at home, or perhaps a relative, you will do so. This is wise. You will never regret it because family is gold. And of course, what goes around, comes around.

Sunday: You will enjoy cocooning because you need to catch your breath. You often lead a busy, outdoorsy life; and sometimes, you have to take a moment to ground yourself. A conversation with a female family member could be significant.

This week: You’re outgoing, friendly and breezy; however, in the next four weeks, you will withdraw from the busyness because you feel the need for privacy and getting in touch with your subconscious self. For example, childhood behaviour patterns that have outlived their usefulness will be more obvious to you. You realize they’re no longer relevant. As your birthday looms, your personal year is ending. Now is the time to look back over the last year to see how well you are managing the art of living. What changes do you want to make? Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19)

Today: Don’t worry if you spend time daydreaming because it’s just one of those days. We all need days like this where we need to mentally escape to give ourselves a breather. Imagination is a wonderful thing.

Sunday: Conversations with others will stimulate you. Enjoy schmoozing. Take a short trip if you can because this will please you. You might also make plans to make improvements for your home and family.

This week: You’ll be more popular in the next four weeks. Because friendships are important, you will examine the role they play in your life. You want to be who you are without violating your integrity. Also, because your idealism is aroused, you will be more involved with clubs and associations. However, once again, examine the role these organizations play in your life. Do they exemplify your own goals? Romance with a friend might develop. Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18); Today: Be careful about spending too much on something elegant

and luxurious. For your own best interests, keep your receipts and the box! This gives you a chance to have some second thoughts.

Sunday: Look for ways to boost your income. Respect your money-making ideas. Admittedly, you might also go shopping and spend a chunk of change. Be aware of the Moon Alert above. Be smart with your hard-earned dough.

This week: A gaggle of planets is at the top of your chart! The Sun casts you in a flattering spotlight, making you look capable to bosses and parents. You can use this to push your agenda forward. Mercury at the top of your chart makes you plan and encourages discussions with bosses. Venus at the top of your chart attracts people and circumstances to you that will help you. (You might be involved in design, office redecorating or doing PR.) Venus will also trigger a romance with a boss or someone older or in power. A powerful month! Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20)

Today: Your sensitivity to your surroundings is strong as is your empathy. You’re willing to listen to a friend’s problems. You will easily pick up the moods of everyone around you.

Sunday: The Moon is in your sign dancing with Jupiter, which promotes domestic happiness. It’s also a great day for doing business. (Check the Moon Alert.) Make travel plans or enjoy talking to people from other cultures. Do something to expand your normal, everyday world!

This week: You long to travel and break free of routine. Anything that offers stimulation and a chance to learn something new will appeal to you in the next four weeks. It’s a great time to get outta town. Mercury will make it easy to study and talk to teachers. Venus will enhance your appreciation of beauty. You might fall in love with someone from another culture or someone different. Jupiter will attract opportunities to travel and broaden your views on life.

If today is your birthday: Actor John Krasinski (1979) shares your birthday. You are compassionate, friendly and fair-minded. You bring enthusiastic creativity to any project. This year it’s time to embrace change and new opportunities. Expect excitement! Get ready to act fast. Make your personal freedom one of your goals this year. Enjoy travel opportunities and chances to expand your horizons. Enjoy!

If Sunday is your birthday: Novelist Ursula K. Le Guin (19292018) shares your birthday. You have a charming personality and excellent communication skills. You are optimistic and genuinely interested in people. Service to others is your theme this year. Focus on your responsibilities to family as well as yourself. Take care of yourself so you are a strong resource. Nurture relationships you value. Explore the arts, enrol in a class.
