HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21 — April 19):

Today: This is an interesting day. You might take a short trip. Later in the day, relations with an authority figure might cool your jets. Or you might run into someone who spouts rules and regulations. Tread carefully.

Sunday: This is a pleasant, easygoing Sunday. You will feel sympathetic to a family member, probably a female. By evening, you’re in the mood to party, which means this is a good time to invite the gang over so you can enjoy entertaining at home.

This week: It will be interesting to know that when Mercury hovers at 24 degrees throughout this coming week, it will be doing so in your sign! Actually, it will be a bit like being in a hallway. In other words, you’re not in one room or the other — you’re in between. Sometimes this is a good place to ponder where you have been and where you are going. Taurus (April 20 — May 20): Today: Something unusual might impact your finances. This might be good news; it might be bad. Later in the day, you are restricted in financial matters related to others.

Sunday: This is a busy day but it’s also a positive day for you. You might spend time daydreaming or being lost in fantasies because your imagination is heightened. By evening, you might join wellwishers to encourage someone or acknowledge their good fortune.

This week: This will be a strong week for you because the Sun in your sign will embolden you to go after what you want. You are empowered. In particular, you feel empowered financially. You have ideas about how you want to earn money and many are making major purchases as well. The influence of Mercury staying at 24 degrees for the entire week is taking place in a hidden part of your chart. Therefore, this week you will do a lot of soul-searching and self contemplation. Gemini (May 21 — June 20): Today: For most of this day, the Moon is in your sign and you feel impulsive. You seek adventure and a change of scenery. However, later in the day, someone older or more experienced might clip your wings a bit.

Sunday: If spending money today, be careful about going overboard because you might be tempted to do this. Luxury and excess will appeal. It’s definitely hard to live on a beer wallet when you have champagne tastes. Join the club — we number millions.

This week: In one way, you want to relax and hide this week because you need to catch your breath. In another way, with fiery Mars in your sign, you are out there flying your colours whether you want to or not. When your ruler Mercury hovers at 24 degrees this week, it will impact your relationships with friends and groups. You might have a meaningful exchange with a friend. Cancer (June 21 — July 22): Today: You might be involved with something behind the scenes. Someone in a position of authority or a parent might encourage you. Ironically, later in the day, someone in a position of authority might discourage you.

Sunday: Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Neptune and Jupiter. Neptune makes you feel sympathetic and imaginative. Jupiter will, of course, promote domestic peace and happiness. This is a good day for business, but be careful about going overboard. Fortunately, you don’t go nuts with your money.

This week: This is a social week, which means you will enjoy shmoozing with others. However, the phenomenon of the planet Mercury hovering at 24 degrees for the entire week will affect your relationship with bosses, parents and VIPs. Something might come to a head this week. You might have to make an important decision. Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22):

Today: Relations with a female friend will hold a few surprises. You might meet someone from another background who is different or unusual. Later in the day, responsibilities with children or a code of conduct in sports will make you sit up and pay attention.

Sunday: Today you might prefer to work alone or behind the scenes because you feel a need for privacy. Certainly, if you get a little privacy, you will enjoy it. You also feel sympathetic and generous to those who are less fortunate than you, which is why you will make big gestures and help someone out, especially a sibling or relative.

This week: You will continue to be high visibility because the Sun is at the top of your chart and this is the only time all year this occurs. This means people in authority notice you and they admire you. Meanwhile, travel opportunities abound, so keep your bag packed because you’re going places! This week you might ponder future possibilities about further education, publishing, the media, medicine or the law.

Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22):

Today: Be aware that you are high visibility today. People notice you. It’s good to know this because you will be caught off guard by something earlier in the day. This could be because of something someone says or your boss might do or say something. Later, domestic responsibilities will require your attention.

Sunday: Friendships with others are important, especially with a female companion. You might want to discuss your hopes and dreams for the future because your imagination is strong. Although this is a good day for business and commerce — don’t go overboard.

This week: It’s appropriate for you to focus on ways to boost your income because you can do this during this week or this month or this year. ( Yes, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.) However, this week in particular, it will behoove you to focus on taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances and insurance issues because your financial involvement with others requires your attention. Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22): Today: You are hungry for adventure and a change of scenery, and you just might get this. However, later in the day, someone older or more experienced might challenge you for some reason. Don’t be discouraged. Simply hear them out and make your own call.

Sunday: You are high visibility today. This is probably a good thing because people see you in positive terms. They might even put you on a pedestal. Meanwhile, you feel warm and generous to others, which is one of the reasons you make such a great impression.

This week: The planet Mercury, which usually clips along at about two degrees a day, is going to hover at 24 degrees for the entire week. This will take place in Aries, which is 180 degrees opposite your sign, which means that your focus on partners and close friends will be stronger than usual right now. Quite likely, you will have clarity about what is going on in the relationship. Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21): Today: Something unexpected might occur related to the wealth and resources of others. Someone might give you something, or they might ask you for something. Whatever happens, it will be swift. Later in the day, you might question what happened. Just stay true to yourself.

Sunday: Travel plans look exciting. You are pondering future travel possibilities that might have once been a dream but are now a distinct possibility. Ah yes, dreams are excellent for shaping future goals. You start off with perfection and then keep paring down until you get a realistic possibility.

This week: The Sun is opposite your sign, which means your energy is flagging a bit. In turn, this means you will need to get more sleep. Respect this. Nevertheless, life does not stop just because you are tired, does it? Disputes about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances continue. What is most curious is that something unusual might take place at work. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21):

Today: A friend or partner might surprise you. Or you might meet a real character. This is the interesting part of the day. The less interesting part of the day comes along later when you realize that you have more responsibilities and obligations than you thought.

Sunday: You feel generous to others today and, fortunately, they feel generous to you. You might be able to help a family member in need, which is a good thing. The family that pays together stays together.

This week: With fiery Mars opposite your sign this week, you have to be patient with others even though they are annoying. What’s the alternative? A fist fight? Anything that gets you embroiled with someone else puts you in an unpleasant situation, and why would you want to be there? Therefore, demonstrate grace under pressure. Be patient because you are only doing yourself a favour. Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19): Today: Something might upset you about your health or your job routine might change. You might have some disconcerting news about a pet. Whatever the case, it will keep you on your toes. Later in the day, duties and responsibilities will become an obligation.

Sunday: Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This requires a bit of tolerance and accommodation — no biggie. Fortunately, you will not mind because today, bosses and people and authority admire you.

This week: Your play time continues this week so plan on having lots of fun! In fact, this is the perfect week for a vacation. If you’re not on vacation, then make a point to arrange lunches, dinners, theatre dates and sports events so you have a chance to have a great time. The one area that will be a bit more curious is anything to do with home and family. Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18): Today: A surprise invite somewhere might please you. Children might also be a source of surprise today. In fact, love at first sight could be kindled. Nevertheless, as this day wears on, things become more sober and realistic. The responsibilities of children and social events will

rest on your shoulders.

Sunday: Work-related travel is likely for many of you. This is an excellent day to get along with coworkers. You might also feel positive about your health. Another area of pleasure and happy feelings might relate to a pet that you own.

This week: This week you will continue to focus on home, family and your private life. Quite likely, an interaction with a parent will be significant. You will also be active with kids, especially competitive sports or any kind of competition. Nevertheless, regardless of what is going on, privately you feel mentally thoughtful and reflective. Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20): Today: Something unusual will impact your home routine today. You might burn the toast. You might break something or someone unexpected might drop by. Go with the flow and do not be discouraged later in the day if someone makes you account for yourself. There’s one in every crowd.

Sunday: This is a flirtatious, fun-loving day. Meet with good friends and family to enjoy good times. Sports events, the theatre, the arts and playful times with children will be a source of pleasure and delight. Quite possibly, someone will treat you or pick up the tab.

This week: Your busy pace continues because you have places to go, things to do and people to see. Not only that, your home and family life is chaotic and super demanding this week. You can’t ignore anything. But the big news seems to be related to your earnings and your cash flow. This is where you have true question marks. Is something going to happen to boost your earnings? Is something going to happen to reduce them?

If your birthday is today: Actor/ comedian Jerry Seinfeld (1954) shares your birthday. You are a spiritual person who enjoys learning. Security is important to you. This year many of you will be a student or teacher because your capacity for research and understanding is at its very best. It’s a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. This will not tend to be a year of action, but rather a year of waiting and development. If your birthday is Sunday:

Actress Kirsten Dunst (1982) shares your birthday. You love the good life and you appreciate beauty. This is a power year for you. Whatever you have done in the past will now come to fruition. This is a year of big decisions and major achievements. Activity is your keynote. You will be very involved and occupied.
