ROYAL STARS

- YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE FROM GEORGIA NICOLS The day ahead: ★★★★★ = Dynamic; ★★★★ = Positive; ★★★ = Average; ★★ = So-so; ★ = Difficult

Moon Alert: Today the Full Moon in Aries peaks at 7:57 a.m. Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 7:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Be patient when dealing with others today, because everyone has a short fuse, including you. That makes this a classic day for friction and thoughtles­s comments and retorts. Fortunatel­y, after the Moon Alert is over, life will get mellow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Something might be going on behind the scenes or building up within you at a subconscio­us level that makes you easily irritated with others. Bite your tongue and let this slide, because once the Moon Alert is over today, you will feel happier.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Expect difficulti­es when dealing with friends and groups today, especially female acquaintan­ces, because the Moon is at odds with several planets. However, after the Moon Alert is over today, the Moon will be in a new sign, and you will feel a big shift.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ This is a poor day to challenge parents, bosses or authority figures. Don’t even go there. If you argue with someone in power, it could be nasty. After the Moon Alert is over, life will be much easier! Then you can ask for permission or approval. (And probably get it.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Steer clear of controvers­ial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will be intense and nasty. Nothing will be resolved. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Steer clear of disputes about shared property, inheritanc­es and insurance issues today until after the Moon Alert is over. Then you might be surprised at how easy it is to explore new ideas and put a new spin on things. People will be more receptive to you. Sweet!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Today you need to cooperate and be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Avoid dissension and arguments. However, after the Moon Alert is over, everything will be more relaxed and supportive. Be patient until then.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Avoid arguments about health issues, pets or anything related to your job or your work today. These might easily arise. The fact is it will be pointless to pursue them. (Trust me.) However, after the Moon Alert is over, you will establish an understand­ing with someone.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Lovers’ spats, quarrels about kids or intense debates related to sports or social plans might take place today. Definitely no fun. Therefore, be patient and bite your tongue. After the Moon Alert is over, you will be happier and ready to get things done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Avoid quarrels with authority figures, bosses, parents, teachers and the police today. Likewise, steer clear of domestic friction, because this will accomplish nothing and simply make everyone miserable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ You might be argumentat­ive today when talking to daily contacts, siblings or relatives. Be careful, because this could trigger an accident-prone situation, especially when driving.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Financial difficulti­es might arise today. Take note of the Moon Alert and restrict spending to food and gas. However, once the Moon Alert is over, it’s all systems go for your sign. Plus, you will be eager and happy to talk to others.
