ROYAL STARS
The day ahead: ★★★★★ = Dynamic; ★★★★ = Positive; ★★★ = Average; ★★ = So-so; ★ = Difficult
MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or important decisions from 2:15 to 3:45 p.m. today. After that, the Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius. ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★ Often, Aries has a short fuse. (You know who you are.) Therefore, if you’re unhappy about financial matters today — or if dealing with banks or talking to someone older or someone in authority — zip thy lip. You’ll be glad you did. Tonight: Explore!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Today Mercury is in your sign at odds with Saturn, and an opposing Moon, which means it’s easy to fall into an argumentative mode or be grumpy with others. There is no upside to this. Your best choice is to demonstrate grace under pressure. Tonight: Check red-tape matters.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Today you have to make an effort to cultivate a positive frame of mind because it’s easy to default into a bad mood. The thing about a bad mood is it makes others unhappy, and you feel lousy. (A smile is a frown turned upside down.) Tonight: Patience.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Avoid squabbles with friends and members of groups today, because they will easily arise. Likewise, you might have disputes with your kids or about banking issues, inheritances or shared property. Remember, patience is the antidote to anger. Tonight: Work.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★ This is a classic day for family arguments, arguments with partners and spouses, and arguments with parents and bosses. (It’s hard to keep your shirt on when you want to get something off your chest.) Be patient with others. Tonight: Play!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Steer clear of political issues and controversial subjects like race and religion, because they will quickly escalate into an argument, which is something you don’t need. Put yourself first. This means don’t engage in arguments; instead, value your own peace of mind. You matter. Tonight: Cocoon.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Financial disputes are likely today, especially about inheritances, banking matters or something to do with your kids or the cost of a social event. Meanwhile, you are one sign that needs harmony in your environment. Remember this. Tonight: Socialize.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with Mercury and Saturn. Avoid squabbling with friends and family over plans. It’s far better to chill out with a movie or something fun. Tonight: Repair possessions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ You might disagree with how a work project is going today. Or perhaps your disagreement is based on something you’ve been worried about, which means you feel sensitive about this subject. You’re anxious. Instead, channel your energy into sports or some fun diversions. Tonight: You win!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Don’t threaten a warm friendship or relations with someone with angry squabbles today, which can easily happen. They might relate to a social occasion, your kids or something to do with the arts or the entertainment world. Stay chill. Tonight: Privacy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Today you’re high-viz. All the more reason to avoid arguments with bosses, parents and authority figures, because why end up with egg on your face? Not cool! Tonight: Friendships.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ This could be an accident-prone day because of your emotions. That’s because you might be angry at someone, and this anger distracts you from what you’re doing. Fortunately, Venus will soften your words. Tonight: You’re high-viz.
