IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actress Tantoo Cardinal (1950) shares your birthday today. You have a stable personality. You are loyal and take your own responsibilities seriously. It’s encouraging to see your hard work starting to pay off this year! Channel your energy and focus on building solid foundations now and for the future. Work with purpose. Physical exercise will be important, which is why you might want to explore something physical that you enjoy doing.
Aries (March 21-April 19): It might be intimidating to deal with authority figures. “I’m just chopped liver.” The truth is there is always a difference between us and someone in power — but today could feel overwhelmed. Relax.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): It’s easy to feel cut off from others. You might feel it’s pointless to try to talk to them, especially if this person is close to you (like a sibling, relative or neighbor). Many feel this way today. Fortunately, it’s a brief influence.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Your financial scene looks glum. (Why is there so much month at the end of the money?) Actually, this year you can benefit from the wealth of others. For example, it’s easy to get a loan or help from the government.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Discussions with a partner or close friend might be difficult. This is because the sun is opposite Saturn and this creates a gulf between people. In a way, the gulf is always there, but today it seems to be overwhelming.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t worry if you feel cut off from others. Situations that are discouraging are exaggerated today. It’s tough to deal with bosses, teachers, parents and the police. It’s easy to feel weak if you encounter someone stronger, older or richer. (This is temporary.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A friend or a member of a group who is older or more experienced than you might make you feel diminished today. But it might be that you yourself are deciding that you are “less”? Don’t give in to this idea. In a day or two, this feeling is gone.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Whatever you try to do today, you will feel blocked by circumstances or people. It’s as if someone is ready to thwart your efforts or stop you. There is nothing you can do about this. It is what it is. Just accept this and wait till this passes in a day or two.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is a difficult day for communicating with teachers, professors or people in other countries or from other cultures. There seems to be a gulf that is difficult to bridge. There is a lack of understanding or a lack of sympathy. You might feel shut down by someone. Fortunately, this is temporary.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Financial stress is likely today because it’s hard to get the cooperation of others. If you want permission or authority to do something, the response will be, “Talk to the hand.” It’s discouraging. However, this is a temporary setback — just a few days.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is a touchy day to talk to others. Don’t ask for favors. Don’t push your opinions on anyone. Be aware that communications are poor today, and they are especially poor if you’re dealing with anyone in a position of authority. Take it easy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This could be a challenging day at work if you’re dealing with bosses, supervisors or the government. Whatever you try to do will be blocked by someone or circumstances that do not favor you. Work with what you’ve got. Don’t push the river.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Children might feel like they are an increased responsibility. (And they might be.) Meanwhile, romance is stiff or strained. Don’t take this personally. The vibes are a bummer for all kinds of social relationships today.
