ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★ Today you are sensitive to the wants and needs of parents, bosses, teachers and the police. This is because your antennas are fine-tuned. Tonight: Patience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Your idealism is aroused today, along with your appreciation of beauty. However, you might easily fall for the rhetoric of someone who is preaching from a soapbox. Therefore, trust your hunches. Tonight: Work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Today you feel concerned about someone’s welfare, especially if they’re less fortunate. If so, you will use your wealth or the wealth of others to help them. Tonight: Take it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ You might admire a friend today. You also might want to help someone in need. Some of you will lend your efforts to a charitable organization in order to do this. Tonight: Check your finances.
