HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert: We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you must be patient because Mercury is now in the part of your chart that deals with communications (plus it’s the planet of communication); and today specifically, it is at odds with Mars.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid disputes about financial matters or something you own because it’s very easy to be at odds with someone today, especially about money and wealth. Perhaps the dispute is about earnings? Either way, anger will not help. Be cool.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

“It was Monday. It was Monday all day.” Heads up. Your ruler Mercury is in your sign now at odds with fiery Mars, which is at the top of your chart. This could trigger arguments with parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. Stay chill.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you might be doing a slow burn about something. You are not happy. This unhappy feeling might be triggered by the media, the news, dealing with a foreign country or something to do with medicine or the law. Whatever the case, let it go. For your own peace of mind. You come first.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

An argument with a friend or a member of a group might erupt today because Mercury is at odds with fiery Mars.

This could relate to funding or how something is divided or shared. Regardless of the issue at hand — for your own peace of mind, don’t get involved.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mercury is your ruler and it’s at the top of your chart right now at odds with Mars. This is bad news for dealing with authority figures — parents, bosses and the police. Hey, don’t take the bait. Remain calm. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you might fall into an argument about politics, religion or racial issues. So easy to do right now when people are so divided and biased. Step away from his argument.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of disputes about inheritances, shared property and insurance issues. Perhaps you are unhappy about expenses related to kids and social events? Whatever the cause of this conflict, do your best to avoid it because it benefits no one. (Especially you.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Steer clear of arguments with partners and close friends because they can easily occur today. Each person things that they’re right. That’s how people end up at loggerheads. Remember that optimism and a positive attitude are what you need in life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Work-related arguments might occur today, which benefits no one. Not only do these arguments make people unhappy, they are antiproductive. Likewise, disputes about a pet or possibly something related to your health might arise.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Parents must be patient with kids today to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Everyone is too ready to argue and disagree with each other. But what does this accomplish? It only makes everyone miserable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family disputes are par for the course today because of the placement of Mercury and Mars in your chart. Do be aware that you might be coming on too strong. “Moi?” Yes, you. Step back and give each exchange with someone else some breathing room. Whew!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Mary Elizabeth Ellis (1979) shares your birthday today. You are loyal and tenacious. You give careful thought before you make an important decision but then you stick to it. This will be a more relaxed year for you.
