HOROSCOPES

Moon alert: We’re clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21 — April 19): Today: Tread carefully because arguments with parents, bosses and authority figures can arise. The moon is in your sign, which makes you more volatile and emotional! Plus Mercury is in your sign at odds with your ruler Mars.

Sunday: It’s an unpredictable day because surprises, arguments and emotional situations will catch you off guard. This means it will be hard to maintain your cool. If you can maintain your cool, kudos to you.

This week: Do your best to solidify your financial situation because you’ll encounter some unexpected speed bumps in the next few years. In fact, this week, you might have a quarrel with a friend about money or a particular possession. How appropriate that the New Moon on Tuesday is perhaps the best day all year for you to think about how you handle your possessions or what you own. And also, to think about the best way that you can feel financially secure. Are you happy about the way you earn your money? What would your dream job be?

Taurus (April 20 — May 20): Today: You might be angry about something, but you feel you can’t speak up. Perhaps you need to respect the feelings of others? Perhaps you need to respect your elders? Perhaps you need to respect your in-laws?

Sunday: Unexpected events might grab you out of the blue and trigger arguments and indignant discussions. You can only cope with so much before you have to say something. (And say something you will.)

This week: So much is happening in your sign. The sun is in Taurus, Mercury is in Taurus, the new moon Tuesday is in Taurus, and now Uranus is moving into Taurus. Spend time on Tuesday to think about how to improve your image in the world, especially how you look. Avoid power struggles with parents and bosses on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Uranus will definitely bring changes to your life in the next seven years. But ultimately, you’ll feel freer. And of course,

Saturn in your fellow Earth sign will stabilize things in the next two years.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20): Today: Be patient with friends and members of groups. Don’t bark at anyone and don’t let anyone bark at you. That’s because your ruler Mercury (communications) is at odds with Mars (god of war).

Sunday: A friend might do something that you least expect or they might throw a zinger at you, which makes you angry. This might happen so fast you have no choice. But if you are aware and if you have self discipline, then you can avoid an argument.

This week: There’s a lot going on behind the scenes. The new moon Tuesday is a wonderful opportunity to become more aware of your spiritual values. What guides you? Keep your eyes open on Wednesday because someone might be working against your best interests. There’s a chance that Uranus will bring spiritual breakthroughs and epiphanies to you in the next several years. These will help you to be wiser and to function on a higher level.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22): Today: Be patient when dealing with authority figures today because who needs a fight? The only function of anger is to make everyone miserable. Instead, contact a friend because things are positive with friends right now.

Sunday: Who needs egg on their face? I mention this because conversations with parents and bosses and the police might get quickly out of hand today. All too easy to say something you later regret. Caution!

This week: The next two weeks are excellent to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself. Meanwhile, there’s a lot going on with respect to your friends and groups to which you belong or deal with. You will talk to younger people more than usual. You might also encounter farout ideas that are enlightening to you. These ideas might even make you modify your future goals. Speaking of which, Tuesday is an excellent day to think about your goals. Wednesday is the day to avoid confrontations with others. You’ll meet some real characters in the next few years.

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22): Today: Some days, it’s fun to discuss profound subjects. But some days, people get riled up and it’s unpleasant. This is one of those days. Avoid controversial subjects, especially racial issues, religion or politics. Be smart.

Sunday: Travel plans will be interrupted. Be careful because this is an accident-prone day, especially regarding travel (most likely ground transportation) as well as conversations with others. Avoid dicey topics that make people excited.

This week: You’re high visibility because the sun is at the top of your chart. People notice you,

especially bosses and VIPs. They admire you! In fact, the new moon on Tuesday is the best day of the year to think how you can improve your relationships with authority figures. Ironically, the very next day, Wednesday, you might be at odds with a boss or parent. Remember — people notice you now, therefore, do not blow your cool. Uranus will be at the top of your chart until 2026 causing you to radically change your life direction.

Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22): Today: Relations with authority figures are warm. Nevertheless, you might be at odds with someone about shared property, inheritances, the division of responsibilities or even differing values.

Sunday: Disputes about money, shared property, inheritances or something that someone owes you or something that you might have borrowed are likely today. These little arguments might explode out of nowhere. Put a lid on things. Be polite.

This week: You have a strong focus on travel, higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Tuesday’s new moon is the perfect day to think about what you want to achieve in those areas. Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues Wednesday because confrontations are nasty. Grab every chance to travel because you need a change of scenery. In the bigger picture, Uranus will introduce new ideas, beliefs and consciousness-raising experiences for you in the next six years.

Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22): Today: You like peace and harmony. This means you need to run the other direction the minute you see a fight starting with a close friend, partner or spouse. Tension and conflict at home always drain you.

Sunday: Conversations with partners and close friends are a bit explosive. But arguments will only destroy your peace of mind, therefore, walk away. Just for today.

This week: You have a strong focus on matters related to other people’s wealth. (For example, inheritances, taxes, debt and anything you own jointly.) Discussions about these matters are likely this week. You might encounter a power struggle Wednesday about how to divide or share something. Looking down the road, do your best to solidify your financial situation because Uranus might shake the pot a little when it comes to relying on your partner’s income or the income of others in the next few years. It’s the perfect year for you to save money.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21): Today: Squabbles about the job, your health or even pets might arise. But you can sidestep these squabbles because you have the power to do so. Focus on romance, friendships and close partnerships instead.

Sunday: Work issues might create problems for you. Arguments with co-workers are likely. You might also be disturbed or concerned about a health issue. Pet owners might be suddenly excited because of something.

This week: The sun, the new moon, Mercury and the new arrival of Uranus all take place opposite your sign. What does this mean? Your primary focus is now on partnerships and close friendships and this is also where you will get some surprises. Tuesday’s the perfect day to ask yourself what you want from your closest relationships. Wednesday, avoid ego battles with someone. In the bigger picture, you want a partnership that gives you freedom and allows you to grow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21): Today: Lovers need to be patient with each other because it’s a dicey day for romance. Likewise, parents need to be patient with kids; participants in sports need to avoid fights. This is a brief influence, but it does exist.

Sunday: Parents, this is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Know where your kids are at all times. Remove them from hazardous situations. Likewise, romantic couples might be quick to argue.

This week: Your health, your job and, for many, a relationship to your pet, are your top priority this week. The underlying current with everything you do is your desire to be efficient. At the beginning of the week, think about what you most want to achieve in your health and your job. On Wednesday, avoid a dust-up with a co-worker. In the bigger picture, Uranus will demand that you feel satisfied in your job in the next six years. It will also encourage many of you to become self-employed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19): Today: Be patient with family members because a quarrel might erupt. This is not good because then resentment festers and the whole family can feel the vibe. You value family, 2.5 kids, a white picket fence, God, motherhood and the flag.

Sunday: Be patient with family members because something at home might put everyone on edge. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur or people are upset about something. Try to keep the peace.

This week: Romance, sports and children are tops on your menu. Some of you are also focused on the hospitality and entertainment industries. A power struggle mid-week might arise between lovers or with your kids. Don’t let this ruin things. Be reasonable for your own peace of mind. Uranus will introduce opportunities for unexpected romance as well as sudden vacations and opportunities in the arts in the next several years. It wants you to break free and value your creative talents!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18): Today: Some people are looking for a fight today, so be patient with contacts and relatives. Don’t make a big deal about anything. When the annals of history are written, will this really matter?

Sunday: It’s an accident-prone day for your sign. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Expect the unexpected … except how can you do that? We never know what the unexpected will be.

This week: Your focus on your personal life is strong this week. Lots of discussion and activity. Younger people are in the picture more than usual. Some of you are ready to tackle home repairs while others are involved in family discussions. Note: Beware confrontations on Wednesday. You have a lot of aggressive energy because Mars is in your sign and you might not be aware of it. In the next few years, you’ll make changes for the better within your home environment.

Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20): Today: Quarrels about money or possessions might erupt. People are never casual about money. They just pretend to be. Respect the point of view of others, but don’t be a doormat. Might this be a discussion better saved for another day?

Sunday: Keep an eye on your money and possessions because something unexpected will impact them. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might be harmed, lost or stolen.

This week: it’s a busy, fast-paced week. Short trips, conversations, errands, increased reading and writing and appointments make a lot of demands on your time. Stay on top of your game so you can handle all this. Avoid confrontations with relatives and contacts Wednesday. It’s an exciting, energetic week for those of you market, sell, act, teach or write. In the next six years, your life will be buzzing with residential moves and job changes.

If your birthday is today: Actor Emilio Estevez (1962) shares your birthday. You have high standards. You’re determined and exacting, but you’re funny. Exciting changes and new beginnings await you this year. Now’s the time to clarify your goals. What you begin now will unfold in the future because this is the beginning of a new cycle. Your physical strength will increase this year as well.

If your birthday is Sunday: TV host Stephen Colbert (1964) shares your birthday. You’re easygoing, generous and reliable. You’re confident, yet modest — almost always even-tempered. It’s a wait-and-see year. You need rest and rejuvenation. It’s a time of co-operation. Focus on your business and personal relationships. Look for ways to practice kindness and be helpful to others.
