HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or big decisions from 11 AM until 2:30 PM EDT today. After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Caution: First off, you have the Moon Alert to be aware of today. (See above.) Secondly, disputes about shared property, inheritances, children (or perhaps the cost of raising children) might occur today. The challenges that you face will require patience and diplomacy. Got it?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You like to be on top of things because after all, you are an Earth sign and “strong like bull.” Today however, communications are goofy, subject to errors and definitely subject to disputes. Therefore, postpone important communications until Monday. (Tomorrow is dicey as well.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Conversations with people at work and daily contacts as well are a bit challenging today. Misunderstandings are likely. People are impatient, including you. Therefore, if something important surfaces between you and someone else, postpone this discussion until Monday.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might be at odds with a friend today or perhaps a member of a group. This could relate to social occasions, sports events or something to do with kids. It might even impact money, possessions or your earnings. Whatever the case, consensus is not likely.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be at odds with someone today. This could be a family member; or it could be a boss. Just be aware of the fact that if you do have words for you lose your patience, other people will likely notice this because you are high viz. today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid touchy subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today. Even then, you might have a falling out with someone from another culture or a different country. Disputes about publishing, the media, medicine and the law might arise. It’s all small stuff but people are prickly!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might get involved in a disagreement about money, funding, shared possessions or something to do with a group today. Fortunately, it’s small potatoes. But even small things can make one fume. (You’re not being petty; you just have a good memory.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a poor day to discuss anything important with parents, bosses, VIPs, teachers, partners and close friends. Have I left anyone out? It’s not as if the sky will fall in or anything like that. But people will disagree! And you will be sucked into this dynamic. Why not dodge this one?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be patient with coworkers because today is classic for errors and mixed-up communications. Deliveries might be late. Difficulties dealing with foreign interests are also likely. (It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you work with turkeys.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be patient with others today because things can come unglued. Don’t be judgmental. In other words, cut people some slack, especially if you are involved in a group. A snide comment will be remembered. We always remember what irks us.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It’s difficult dealing with authority figures today (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police). Minor annoyances, especially involving a partner or close friend, will be hard to overlook. But you can try. (Hear no evil; see no evil; date no evil.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be mindful and aware today because a minor argument with someone could be the kind of distraction that triggers an accident. Be patient with coworkers. The heart is generally wiser than the intellect.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Cartoonist (“Garfield”) Jim Davis (1945) shares your birthday today. You are dynamic, energetic and open. You have a strong sense of responsibility; and are quick to understand the needs of others. Good news! You are heading into one of the most powerful years of your life - a time of accumulation. It’s an excellent year to buy and sell. Whatever you have done in the past will now ripen because it’s your time of fruition. At last!
