IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actor Forest Whitaker (1961) shares your birthday. You are enthusiastic and confident. Generally, you are relaxed and laid-back because you don’t put pressure on yourself. Looking good! It’s your time of harvest, which means you are starting to reap the benefits of the efforts you made in the last decade. You deserve this time of success! As a result, you might enjoy increased influence and leadership in all your relationships.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Power struggles are challenging today. They might be about improving a family situation or making improvements to your home. Nevertheless, there is disagreement. Put your cards on the table and be honest. That’s the best way to save this situation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Avoid dangerous places with high crime rates because today it’s easy to attract negative and violent attention. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Definitely avoid arguments with others, especially about race, politics and religion.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Disputes about financial matters, earnings or something that you own or perhaps about a will or an inheritance might arise. People are headstrong! Make sure that whatever you are pushing for is fair because whatever you do today will come back to you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Power struggles with partners and close friends are likely. Perhaps each of you has a specific idea about how to improve something. Instead of being trapped in a Mexican standoff, learn to work together. What common goals do you share?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Although you want to introduce reforms and improvements to your health or your job, for some reason today you are being blocked by someone or something. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Do not feel you have to have your way. Go gently.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might butt heads with someone today. It could be a friend or a person in a group or an organization. Basically, it is an ego battle — a battle of wills. What are you trying to prove? Even if you are the head of something right now or you are in charge — listen to what others have to say.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is a classic day for an intense encounter with someone, especially someone in power. In fact, it could lead to a breakdown in a relationship. Your best chance is to air your grievances and make everything clear to everyone in order to see if you can push past this problem.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): No matter how much you want to usher in sweeping and fundamental changes, you don’t have enough power to do so. This might frustrate you today. Nevertheless, this is a poor time to go it alone. Look for those who think like you and work with them.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a classic day for breakdowns in relationships and also in machinery. You might have to stop and repair something today. Note: it will need to be stripped right down to the basics. Patching it up won’t suffice. (Put your Band-Aids away.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s definitely tension between you and someone else today, someone close to you. Your best approach is to be honest and lay your cards on the table. Then look for common goals or shared objectives to turn this into a win-win situation.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be blocked in your efforts to try to make improvements around you in your job or even your health. These improvements might even relate to a pet? The problem is that obstacles are in the way. Go gently. Don’t be pushy. Patience and discretion will pay off.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a classic day for lovers’ quarrels because of different values, wants and needs. People tend to be stuck in their ways today. Likewise, you might have difficulty dealing with your kids. (Hissy fits and meltdowns.) Be understanding and loving.
