IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actress Emma Mackey (1996) shares your birthday. You are career oriented, which means you are a good boss and a good employee. You are practical and always willing to do more than your fair share. People like working with you. This year is a quieter, gentler year. Your focus is on friendships and partnerships. Be kind to others and they will be kind to you.
Aries (March 21-April 19): You might find it challenging dealing with someone older or in a position of power because there’s a strong likelihood that they will rain on your parade. Whatever happens will surprise you or catch you off guard. (Possibly, this person is unusual or someone you did not expect to encounter.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Tread carefully today, especially when dealing with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. You might find that your dealings with someone in a position of authority will squelch you. (Aggh!) Someone might refuse or deny you something, which you did not expect.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Travel plans are challenging today. Expect delays and hang-ups with redtape details. (For some of you, this could mean that you suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so.) Either way, sudden changes due to legal matters or personal obligations are likely.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Be wise and double check your bank account today, as well as your credit card charges because something restrictive might occur; and yet, it is also something you might not expect to happen. When it comes to money and debt, stay on top of things.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Because the moon is in the sign that is opposite from your sign, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This happens for two days every month; and when it does, it means you have to be tolerant and cooperative. Meanwhile, you might be surprised by someone who has demands.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At work today or with any task that you are doing, keep your eyes open because something unexpected will happen. Whatever it is might create more work for you. (Grrr.) You might feel rebellious; nevertheless, increased restrictions in some fashion will cause problems.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Parents: Please make an effort to be on top of things with your kids today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids, in addition to which, something unexpected might occur. Double check details, especially regarding transportation. Social plans might suddenly change as well.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your home routine will be interrupted, very likely because you are dealing with a parent or an authority figure. For some reason, rules and regulations will likely be part of the picture. This could create a problem that you did not anticipate. Tread carefully.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your eyes open because this is an accident-prone day for you. You might also feel worried about something. Don’t let your worries get the best of you. Mark Twain said that most of the terrible things in his life actually never happened. (Most of our worries never come true.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep an eye on your money, your bank accounts and your possessions today because something unexpected will affect your wealth. You might find money; you might lose money. Someone in authority might deny you what you want. Be alert.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Obligations, duty and orderliness will be important today. This is not a frivolous day. Au contraire, something might catch you off guard, possibly related to rules and regulations. Watch what you do and make sure you go by the book.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today you might feel cut off from others or lonely. This makes you feel restless, and, yet, at the same time, it makes you feel a bit helpless. This is really an illusion. Ironically, tomorrow is a lovely day! Stay positive and hang in there.
