HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21 — April 19) Today: Sudden travel opportunities might fall in your lap, or an unexpected chance to get further training. Whatever happens, your window of opportunity will be brief so you have to act fast.

Sunday: People are supportive in a behind-the-scenes way. Others might not be aware of it, but you will. In a few instances, you might not be aware of the favour someone does for you.

This week: You need a change of scenery because four planets are hyping the area of your chart that governs travel, higher education, publishing, medicine and the law. This means you want to expand your world! Be careful by the end of the week. An argument with a loved one could be explosive. On the upside, gifts, goodies and favours will come your way. Taurus (April 20 — May 20)

Today: Unusual news or something that catches you off guard could pertain to shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues. Stay alert. These are areas where you don’t want to be caught napping.

Sunday: This is a lovely day to enjoy the friendships of female companions. People are mutually generous to each other. This is also an excellent day to ponder your hopes for the future. Someone’s input could encourage you to tweak your goals.

This week: Big-money deals might be taking place. This is a good time to explore getting a mortgage, or a loan or dealing with inheritances, shared property, insurance issues, taxes and debt. Unfortunately, in the next year, you might receive less from your partner or external source, which means you have to generate income. Meanwhile, partnerships are close and warm. In fact, sex can be hot! Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: A friend or partner might surprise you with an unusual suggestion. If so — be open to it. They might also introduce you to someone different or very interesting.

Sunday: You look wonderful in the

eyes of others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. They see you as successful, even affluent. You might travel. If so, there will be a glamorous aspect to it.

This week: With four planets opposite your sign right now, you are focused on partnerships and close friendships. This is an excellent time to explore discussions with someone close. Meanwhile, relations with kids might be dicey by the end of the week. However, good news about your work (and even your health) will come to you by the end of the week. Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Today: Your work routine will be interrupted by something — power outages, computer crashes, staff shortages, cancelled meetings or perhaps the introduction to your job of something new and hightech. You have to adjust quickly.

Sunday: Travel will be a rewarding experience. If you can travel anywhere, do so! You will welcome any opportunity to learn something new by getting further education, or talking to someone from another culture or country.

This week: You have a strong focus on work because of the placement of four planets. You will take a very hands-on approach to what you’re doing but you will be rewarded with praise and possibly a raise. Relations with co-workers will be supportive. A similar focus might be on your health. Meanwhile, something unexpected and a bit wild might take place at home toward the end of the week. Fortunately, romance, parties, good times and relations with your kids will be great. Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

Today: Surprise invitations to fun events might thrill you. One of the surprises could be an unexpected flirtation. You’re full of creative ideas. However: this is an accidentprone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Likewise, be careful to avoid accidents in sports.

Sunday: This is a great day to settle issues with insurance disputes, inheritances or questions about shared property because you will be laughing all the way to the bank. Be generous to someone.

This week: It’s tough to settle down and work unless you are working in the entertainment world, hospitality industry or sports. Leos want to play right now. And play, you will! Grab a vacation if you can. Make social plans with others. Enjoy sports events, the arts and gettogethers. Romance will flourish. The end of the week is an accidentprone time for you. Fortunately, it also promises fun activities with family and potentially profitable opportunities in real-estate deals. Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22) Today: Something unexpected will impact your home routine. Small

appliances might break down. Surprise company might knock on your door. For starters, get dressed so that you are ready to cope with the unexpected. You might want to stock the fridge.

Sunday: This is a warm and friendly day. You will enjoy the company of others and vice versa. You will attract people to you who will promote an enjoyable time. If you have a chance to help someone, you will.

This week: Your focus on family and your private life continues. Keep up with plans to do home repairs and redecorating projects. This week is also a great time for family discussions and get-togethers as well as family businesses. Keep your eye on your cash flow and your possessions toward the end of the week because something unexpected might impact your earnings or something that you own. Fortunately, some kind of good news or a visit with a relative or sibling will lift your spirits at the end of the week. Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22) Today: Today is full of surprises. You might hear news that interests you. You might meet new people. You might see new places. Be prepared to go with the flow because it’s a fast-changing universe.

Sunday: Work-related travel will take place for many. This is also a day where your health feels robust. Because everyone is in such a positive mood, anything you do will be a positive, rewarding experience.

This week: This continues to be a busy time. You’re juggling visits, social occasions, errands, short trips plus increased reading, writing and studying. It’s exhausting, so it’s important that you get your sleep. I say this because Librans are often very erratic with their sleep. Fortunately, you can make money from your words, which is good news for those in sales, marketing, writing, teaching and acting. Be careful at the end of the week because something will blindside you. Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21) Today: Keep an eye on your assets because something unexpected could impact them. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might be lost, broken or stolen. Keep your eyes open.

Sunday: This is a fantastic day to have fun! Slip away on a vacation if you can. Enjoy romance, flirtations, sports events, the arts, movies, the theatre and fun activities with children. You feel generous, which is a winning combination.

This week: You’re focused on money this week. The good news is many of you are full of moneymaking ideas. Trust your intuition because it looks sound. You can probably boost your earnings. You’re also tempted to buy beau-

tiful things for yourself and loved ones. However, something going on behind the scenes might catch you off guard toward the end of the week. If you’re suspicious about something — trust your hunches. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21) Today: Mercury is in your sign dancing with wild, wacky Uranus. This means today is stimulating and a bit exciting. It’s a particularly excellent day to tackle problems you were unable to solve because you can think outside of the box.

Sunday: You will enjoy time spent at home because people are in a good mood and so are you. You might want to entertain at home. If so, this will be a mutually enjoyable situation. However, you might also want to enjoy your own solitude at home — and that will work out perfectly as well.

This week: The sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all in your sign. This gives you lots of energy. You’re keen to shmooz, in part because you easily attract people. For some time now, you’ve been more involved with friends. Some of this involvement has been competitive. Be careful because at end of this week, this involvement will mushroom into something like a palace revolution! You might be at odds with someone or a group. Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19)

Today: You have that feeling that something is going on behind the scenes. Or perhaps you feel like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Don’t waste your time doing this because it is invariably ugly and in the wrong size.

Sunday: Short trips and conversations will be stimulating and fun. You’re in a giving frame of mind and because of this, others will respond in kind. Exchanges of information, short trips plus a chance to learn something new will inspire you.

This week: So much is going on behind the scenes. You know about it — but does anyone else? Probably very few. It could be because you are making private plans. For some of you, this privacy is because you’re dealing with a secret love affair. Whatever the case, a lot of stuff seems to be on the hushhush. Of course, some of the reason for keeping quiet about things is many of you are saying goodbye to people, places and possessions. Meanwhile, your ambition is strong. Don’t let your ambition threaten your relationship with an authority figure. Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18) Today: A friend might surprise you. Or perhaps you will meet someone new who is avant-garde or different in some way. Even your interaction with groups will be stimulating because something new will present itself.

Sunday: Business and commerce are favoured. Trust your moneymaking ideas. You might also travel with the thought of boosting your earnings. If shopping, you might spend too much but you will be pleased with what you get.

This week: Your popularity continues! Keep up this pace of shmoozing, enjoying friendships and being involved in groups, clubs and associations. Younger people and creative types want your input. Toward the end of the week, be careful regarding travel plans or anything to do with legal matters, higher education and medicine because a surprise might catch you off guard. But your reputation will shine by the end of the week. You might be in a position to help in a way that makes you look heroic. Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20)

Today: Conversation with a boss or parent might surprise you. If you don’t like the sound of things, don’t quit your day job. However, more likely, you might get a promotion or be offered an opportunity to do something different. It might give you more freedom.

Sunday: This is an upbeat day. The moon is in your sign dancing with your ancient ruler Jupiter. This makes you feel happy and interested to share good times with others. Pass those homemade cookies!

This week: You are high visibility because the sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are at the top of your chart. This calls attention to you, especially with bosses, parents and VIPs. You’re in the driver seat and can go after what you want. However, something unexpected might impact inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt, insurance issues or anything you own jointly. Make friends with your bank account. Don’t be caught napping! Fortunately, travel plans might suddenly open for you. Or perhaps it will be opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

If your birthday is today: Actor Joel Kinnaman (1979) shares your birthday. You’re sensitive, sentimental and compassionate. You’re also creative and affectionate. This is a year of new beginnings, adventures and exciting changes. It’s time to define your goals. What you begin now will benefit you in the future. You might even take on a leadership role.

If your birthday is Sunday: Cartoonist Charles Schulz ( 19222000) shares your birthday. You’re positive, determined and focused. You’re also an excellent listener. This year will be slower paced. You want to rejuvenate. Focus on business and personal relationships. Look for ways to practice kindness and be helpful to others. Find relationships that are mutually beneficial. It’s an intuitive year, so listen to your inner voice.
