What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Friday, March 9, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Avoid discussing politics, religion and racial issues today, because you might end up in an intense argument. You want to keep a low profile right now.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Disputes about inheritances, shared property or insurance issues will be nasty today. Get your ducks in a row, and think about before you speak.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Be patient with partners and close friends today, because the Moon is lined up with Mars. This is a sure indicator of arguments and aggressive conversations. Be cool, and avoid angry outbursts.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

You might become aggressive at work today. Instead of lashing out, use this same energy to accomplish important tasks. Don't focus on others; instead, focus on your job!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

This is a classic day for lover's quarrels. Sports-related fights and difficulty with your kids also might mar your day. (Keep your shirt on, even if you have to get something off your chest.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Don't get sucked into family arguments today. Instead, use this same energy to work at home. Vacuum or shove furniture around!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

You can avoid arguments with siblings and daily contacts today if you don't get hung up on being right. You can be right or be in the relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Squabbles about money or possessions might arise today. Just let these go because by tomorrow, it will be history. Don't get hung up on this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Don't let your emotions let you get carried away! The Moon is in your sign today lined up with Mars, which is an aggressive, jumpy combo. Stay chill.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Behind-the-scenes agitation might break out today, because someone (possibly you) has been harboring resentment. Wait until next week if you can. Be smart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

You might feel competitive with a friend or a member of a group today. For some reason, anger might arise, especially during physical competition or sports. Stay on the high road. Be solution-oriented.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

If you feel angry or aggressive today, do not take it out on bosses, parents and authority figures, because you will regret this later. Be smart, and do what's best for you.
