ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You might find it challenging dealing with someone older or in a position of power today, because they might rain on your parade.

Tonight: Stay calm.
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.

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, it might create more work for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★ Your home routine will be interrupted today, very likely because you are dealing with a parent or an authority figure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Keep an eye on your money, your bank accounts and your possessions today, because something unexpected will impact your wealth.

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. Tonight: You have energy!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Today you might feel lonely or cut off from others. This makes you feel restless and a bit helpless. This is really an illusion. Ironically, tomorrow is a lovely day! Stay positive and hang in there. Tonight: Research will pay off.
