The following astrological forecasts should be read for entertainment value only. These predictions have no reliable basis in scientific fact.
Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3: 30 a.m. to 5 a.m. EDT today (12: 30 a.m. to 2 a.m. PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.
ARIES ( March 21- April 19)
✩✩ Something might hamper your social plans today. Or, perhaps, your responsibilities with children will increase for some reason. In fact, anything to do with the arts, sports and the entertainment world might make greater demands on your life. It’s just for today. Tonight: Serious planning.
TAURUS (April 20- May 20)
✩✩✩ Your involvement with a parent might be more important today, or there might be increased responsibilities regarding taking care of a parent. Work with what you’ve got. Tonight: Time to budget.
GEMINI ( May 21-June 20)
✩✩ Plans for a short trip or your involvement with daily contacts, including siblings, relatives and neighbors, might be hampered by something today. Something might restrict you. Someone might tell you why you can’t do something. Hey, don’t let this get you down. Tonight: Practical decisions.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
✩✩ Financial matters might be a concern today. Your access to finances might be restricted. You might be disappointed in your fair share of something, or you might find it difficult to deal with banks, financial institutions or partners. Bide your time. Tonight: Research something.
LEO (July 23- Aug. 22)
✩✩✩ You might feel cut off from those who are closest to you today. Don’t let this drag you down. Don’t be discouraged, because many people feel a bit removed from others today because the Sun is opposite Saturn. Tonight: Respect elders.
VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22)
✩✩✩ Don’t be discouraged if you feel cut off from others or even lonely today. This isn’t an illusion, but it is certainly a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Many people feel this way today. It will be gone by tomorrow. Therefore, go with the flow. Tonight: Earn someone’s respect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22)
✩✩✩ You might be disappointed when relating to groups, clubs or organizations today because something might thwart your attempts to deal with others or push through your ideas. Tonight: Study or make travel plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21) ✩✩ This is a poor day to ask the boss or a parent for permission or approval for anything, because, very likely, their response will be, “Talk to the hand.” Knowing this, table your request for another day. Meanwhile, keep your head down and your powder dry. Tonight: Take care of red-tape details.
SAGITTARIUS ( Nov.
22- Dec. 21) ✩✩✩ Today you might encounter rules and regulations, which limit your plans or your activities. Go with the flow and don’t make a fuss. Don’t be discouraged. Tomorrow is more promising! Tonight: A serious discussion.
CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ✩✩✩ Financial matters might discourage you today. You might be especially disappointed when dealing with partners or others regarding taxes, debt, inheritances or insurance issues. Red-tape limitations, rules and regulations might get in the way. Tonight: Work is rewarding.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18) ✩✩✩ Don’t be disappointed if you feel your relations with a close friend or a partner are a bit distant today. Conversations might feel like two ships passing in the night. This influence affects everyone today, and it is mildly limiting and possibly discouraging. But it’s brief! Tonight: Practice makes perfect.
PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20) ✩✩ Something to do with your health, your job or even your pet might cause you concern today. You might have to make an extra effort to get the results you want. Or perhaps you cannot do something because you are limited or you are restricted by some situation. Patience is your best ally. Tonight: Work at home.
