ROYAL STARS

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.

Today’s Birthday (April 21). You set high standards for yourself. You are gracious and hardworking. You’re also dignified, loyal and sensitive to the feelings of others. This is a year of service for you, possibly service to family. Therefore, take care of yourself so you can be a resource. (Is it time for a makeover?)

Aries

(March 21-April 19)

HH Tread carefully today if discussing finances or your possessions. Someone might want to borrow something. Or they might be critical of your choices. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Tonight: Avoid quarrels.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20)

HH This is a tricky time because the Sun is in your sign. However, today it’s at odds with big daddy Pluto, which means power struggles with authority figures might take place. Try to avoid this if possible. Tonight: Say nothing.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20)

HHH Keep silent today, even if you feel annoyed. If you express your displeasure, what’s the upside? Now everyone’s unhappy, including you. Consider this an opportunity to practice patience, which is a virtue. Tonight: Hide.

Cancer

(June 21-July 22)

HH When dealing with close friends as well as groups and organizations today, avoid discussing politics, religion or contentious issues. Things will go south in a New York minute. Some people are looking for a power struggle. (Avoid this like the plague.) Tonight: Be friendly.

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22)

HH This is the classic day for clashes with authority figures — parents, bosses, the police, teachers and anyone in a position of power. (Yes, this includes your landlord.) Postpone important discussions for another day. Tonight: Show respect.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HH Political and religious arguments might break out today because people are opinionated and insistent about wanting others to agree with them. This means that power struggles and clashes are likely. For your own peace of mind, avoid this kind of discussion. Tonight: Avoid controversy.

Libra

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHH You’re a people-pleaser because you want harmony in your environment. This is why you should avoid important discussions about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or anything that you own jointly with others. Tonight: Check your finances.

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Arguments with those who are closest to you are likely. It’s a curious thing that we seem to argue with those we love. But this is because we have so much emotionally invested in these relationships. Ttable important discussions for another day. Tonight: Cooperate.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid work arguments today or disagreements related to your job or perhaps even your health. This is also the classic day for power struggles about your pet. Basically, you’re an easygoing sign and you like to get along with others. Tonight: Work.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

HH Parents need to be patient with their kids today because hissy fits and meltdowns are likely. In fact, it’s also a rocky day for romance. Keep your words sweet in case you have to eat them later. Tonight: Relax.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HH Do what you can to keep the peace at home today. Avoid power struggles, especially with parents and authority figures. Postpone important discussions. Tonight: Cocoon.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20)

HH This could be a mildly accident-prone day. Heated discussions are likely, especially with neighbors, siblings and relatives. You don’t need this! Don’t try to convince others to agree with you. Keep the peace. Tonight: Listen.
