HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9:30 AM to noon EDT today (6:30 AM to 9 AM PDT). After that the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Dealing with your kids is challenging today. (I have childproofed the house, but they keep getting in.) Best recourse is to be patient. Goethe’s advice for working with kids was, “Criticism does much but encouragement does more.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a poor day to go headto-head with parents, bosses and authority figures, especially later in the day. If you do so, you will fac loss or regrets because angry confrontations will be the result.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Avoid controversial discussions about politics, religion and racial issues because they will escalate into something nasty. This is because people are looking for a fight today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Disputes about money will arise today. Could be about financial matters or negotiations or a debt? It could pertain to insurance disputes, inheritances or perhaps “responsibilities”. Whatever the case, this is a bummer.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign; however, it is also at odds with both fiery Mars and stern Saturn. Yikes! This can promote accidents. It can also promote arguments and impulsive actions that you might later regret. It can stir up problems at home as well. (Time to send out for dark chocolate.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient with coworkers, customers and supervisors at work today because it’s easy to get into an argument. (As you well know, it’s impossible to keep your shirt on when you need to get something off your chest.) The best way to handle these dark feelings is to do nothing. Nada.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be patient with friends today. Likewise, be patient with members of groups and organizations with whom you might be dealing with today. Anger and resentment might arise. You might feel isolated and cut off from others.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This will be a challenging day at home and dealing with family members because arguments might arise. Things might be said that people will later regret. Someone might feel left out or unloved. You get the picture. It ain’t pretty. Be patient and forgiving - family is forever.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s easy to fall into negative thinking today, which in turn, can promote sullen conversations, arguments and difficulty dealing with siblings, relatives and neighbours. It’s a tough day dealing with others today because people are defensive and critical. Yikes!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Money squabbles are likely today. Disputes about negotiations or property and possessions can easily arise today. Or you might encounter obstacles and difficulties dealing with people about the earnings? Don’t ask people for money today - that’s for sure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, as well as opposite fiery Mars and Saturn in your sign. This is a serious standoff. (Real John Wayne stuff.) Don’t do anything to make matters worse. Don’t try to win because that isn’t going to work either. Sit this one out, if you can.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel depressed or discouraged with matters related to work, or your health or even your pet. Life seems hard today. Things are not flowing easily. It’s tough to get cooperation from others, and any way, do they really care? You feel like chopped liver. Relax.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Jesse Plemons (1988) shares your birthday today. You lots of energy and willpower. You have a “take charge” quality that makes you a natural leader. It’s time to identify future goals because you’re entering a year of exciting new beginnings! What do you want for yourself in the next several years? Be proactive.
