For Tuesday, August 20, 2019 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Tread carefully today. You're feisty and you might find yourself at odds with a parent, boss or someone in authority. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Something going on behind the scenes might bother you today. Perhaps you see it as the breakdown of something that you hate to see happen.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

It's easy to be at odds with a friend today, because many issues can turn into a power struggle. This means it's all about power and control!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Don't go up against bosses, parents, teachers or the police today, because it will be a nasty confrontation. You are a sensitive person. Be good to yourself.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will get out of hand fast! (Then you'll be at loggerheads with someone.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

This is a poor day to discuss shared property, inheritances or insurance disputes, because people feel combative. Some people are looking for a fight. Run away!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Be accommodating and understanding with partners and close friends today, because it's easy to let things disintegrate into a battle of egos. You don't need this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Equipment and machinery might break down at work today. Likewise, relations with co-workers might suffer from obstinacy or a clash of wills. Take the high road.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Parents must be patient with their kids today. Likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other because it's easy to have a falling out. Patience is your best friend!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Avoid a standoff with an authority figure in the family today because, what's the point? It's all about power and control, which means there is no logic or common sense to what's happening. Don't get involved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Although you want to have a serious, heart-to-heart talk with someone today, make sure it doesn't deteriorate into a clash of wills. If people are responsive, fine. If not, let it go.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Quarrels about money and possessions are likely today because some people are obsessed about something! (This is a poor day for a calm, logical discussion about finances.)

YOU BORN TODAY:

You are warmhearted and sensitive. You are also confident and comfortable being in the limelight. Your hard work will begin to pay off this year! Therefore, start to simplify your life and focus on how to build solid foundations. Work with purpose. Physical exercise will be important, which is why you should explore any physical discipline that you enjoy.
