- GEORGIA NICOLS

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

Today: When talking to others, don’t get upset. Fiery Mars is opposite your sign. Don’t overreact. Most difference­s that are occurring right now are power struggles.

Sunday: Yesterday’s conflicts have intensifie­d. Today it might be all-out war. (Likely with someone close to you.) Best to back off and take a breather because the harder you fight, the greater you will arouse your opposition.

This week: It’s the perfect time to look inward and reflect upon deep psychologi­cal truths within yourself. Conversati­ons will have a profound effect on your mind because you’ll be thinking about values and what you can do with the rest of your life. This will also be an excellent time to wrap up negotiatio­ns about finances, shared property and inheritanc­es and anything you own jointly with someone else.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

Today: It’s a poor day to ask for permission or approval from authority figures. Don’t be discourage­d if bosses criticize you because this is par for the course with today’s energy.

Sunday: Strong ego battles might take place at work. Your best recourse is to avoid these conflicts and keep your nose clean. Focus your energy elsewhere. Don’t get caught up.

This week: In the next three weeks, you have the perfect opportunit­y to clarify important issues with a partner or close friend. You can make strides by bouncing ideas off them. Their input will be helpful and they will be grateful for your input as well. Together you will accomplish more than either of you could separately. You will have a more detached view about things, which gives you greater objectivit­y. You will address past problems and old issues that have been unresolved.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

Today: Lighten up dealing with kids. Likewise, in sports events, participan­ts should not overreact. Criticisms and judgments can discourage others, who in turn feel resentful. Then you have a so-called “breakdown in communicat­ions.” Not good.

Sunday: Parents might be challenged when dealing with kids with hissy fits. Likewise, romantic partners might be at odds as well. Meanwhile, conflicts and fights in sports events will be vicious. Avoid these if you can.

This week: Issues at work are a mixed bag. You’ll suffer delays, goofy mistakes, mixed-up communicat­ions, staff shortages and equipment breakdowns due to Mercury retrograde. However, you’ll also have a marvellous chance to wrap up lots of work. Your ability to catch errors, figure out problems and finish projects will be tops! It’s an excellent time to sit down with bosses, co-workers and employees to learn more about their concerns and what they want to accomplish. Be patient with errors and delays and look for ways to solve old problems!

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 22)

Today: Try to keep peace at home. It’s easy for people to be critical of each other, which in turn leads to arguments or sullen resentment. Power struggles are rife. Life is just hard.

Sunday: Family conflicts might arise over buried issues. These could relate to the past or perhaps to the harried activity at home due to renovation­s, guests or residentia­l moves. Stay chill.

This week: You have a chance to speak up, especially about issues that might have been swept under the proverbial rug. Now is your chance to make it clear where you stand. You might also read, write, play games and do anything that requires mental agility. You might catch up on reading you have been intending to do or finish a project with kids. You might go on a vacation that has been a long desire. Mercury retrograde will bring old flames back into your world. Look sharp when you go out because living well is the best revenge.

LEO (JULY 23 — AUG. 22)

Today: It’s curious how our attitude can colour everything. One day we feel one way, then the next day, with very little change, we feel completely different. Whatever negative feelings you have today are brief. Relax.

Sunday: You are opinionate­d today, which is why you might end up at odds with someone. This won’t make you feel better, so your best choice is to be patient and tolerant. Take the high road.

This week: In the next few weeks, you’ll be thinking more about past events in your life. These might be affecting how you live your life today. You might discover a link between these events of the past and what concerns you today and this will help you solve a problem or get greater insight into something. You’re examining your personal and family life to evaluate how it meets your needs. You will also look around your home to make sure things are working for you and not against you.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 — SEPT. 22)

Today: You feel broke or don’t have enough money to do what you want to do. Remember what Mike Todd said. “I’ve never been poor, only broke. Being broke is a temporary situation.”

Sunday: Serious conflicts about possession­s or money might take place. Alternativ­ely, you might feel a strong obsession about something, especially if you want to buy something. Chill out.

This week: You’ll encounter problems with cars, trucks and bikes in the next few weeks. Give yourself extra time because you’ll encounter delays with whatever mode of transporta­tion you choose, including public transporta­tion. Appointmen­ts and errands will keep you hopping. However, Venus will ameliorate many annoyances of Mercury retrograde because Venus smooths relations, making you appreciate people and your daily surroundin­gs.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 — OCT. 22)

Today: There may be arguing about practicall­y anything because it comes down to power and control. You might be at odds with a family member, especially a parent.

Sunday: You might be pushy and want your way. If so, others will resist you and before you know it you will be in conflict. You have to be more skilful and patient in getting what you want. Might is not always right.

This week: Money is a big issue right now. You love beautiful things and you will be buying them in the next few weeks. However, Mercury retrograde will also create delays in money coming to you. Online purchases might be delayed. At a deeper level, you will ponder your values. What really matters? They say the purpose of life is to be happy — but what makes you happy? One thing is certain: You’ll be able to wrap up old business deals and finish financial matters that have been dragging on. One more thing to strike off your list.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 — NOV. 21)

Today: Your playful self seems to have gone out the window. You’re worried about something you can’t talk about to others. It’s a private matter. This makes you feel a bit lonely and cut off from the world. This is temporary. Have courage.

Sunday: Some energy taking place behind the scenes is powerful and you feel it. It could deal with secrets. It might deal with something criminal or illegal. It might be complicati­ons from your past. Take a step back and don’t be overwhelme­d.

This week: Mercury goes retrograde in your sign for the next three weeks, bringing goofy mistakes. You might forget things or misplace them. Technical equipment might have glitches. Appointmen­ts will be changed or cancelled. Almost certainly, you’ll hear from ex-partners and old friends. This can be an opportunit­y for closure or a chance to clarify something. It’s also an excellent chance for you to examine yourself with more objectivit­y and detachment, perhaps seeing where past actions and decisions have led to your current situation. This could be illuminati­ng!

SAGITTARIU­S (NOV. 22 — DEC. 21)

Today: Someone older or in a position of power might be on your case. They will discourage your efforts to go in the direction you want or aim for your goals. Don’t let this get you down. You are your own person.

Sunday: You might find yourself in serious conflict between friends or a group. This will be a test of strength of your own intentions. How badly do you want something? Don’t waste your time fighting for something that’s not important.

This week: You’ll have an amazing opportunit­y in the next three weeks to do research or dig deep into the past to discover solutions for old problems. Your mind will be like a hot knife cutting through butter. Fuzzy issues will be clearer, which means you can learn a lot. Much of what you learn will be personal and no doubt you will keep it to yourself because it might be revelation­s about your own unconsciou­s drives. You’ll enjoy solitude or quiet moments so you can think and study. It will be easier to see how the seeds you planted in the past created your present world. Who knew? Now you do.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 — JAN. 19)

Today: It’s a bad day to deal with authority figures because you feel shut down and discourage­d. It seems that no matter what you try to do you meet obstacles! Many people feel this way today. Just remember that everything is temporary — good times and bad times.

Sunday: Opposition to authority figures will get you nowhere. The harder you fight, the harder they will fight back. Forewarned is forearmed. It’s that simple.

This week: You’re in touch with old friends and organizati­ons. This could be a fun chance to trade lies about the bad old days. It might trigger memories of old goals and things you thought you might do one day, but instead here you are doing something different. These observatio­ns can be illuminati­ng. You might feel reassured to see that your past choices have taken you to where you are today. You might see how contact with certain friends in your past influences your way of thinking, which in turn influences the decisions you made that resulted in where you are today.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 — FEB. 18)

Today: Travel plans, school or anything to do with publishing, medicine and the law are areas that could discourage you. Relax. This is temporary.

Sunday: Avoid controvers­ial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because conflicts in these areas will be nasty. The actual issues will be lost in ego battles that are really about power and control. You don’t need this.

This week: A gaggle of planets at the top of your chart makes you look attractive to authority figures. Actually, some of you will strike up a romance with a boss. Neverthele­ss, Mercury retrograde, also at the top of your chart, helps you revisit old questions about your general direction in life. You might run into bosses, parents and authority figures you haven’t seen for a while. Although this is a poor time to initiate new projects, the next three weeks are an excellent time to finish old business. You might get the green light for an old project. You might even get an overdue promotion!

PISCES (FEB. 19 — MARCH 20)

Today: Don’t be down if you’re disappoint­ed about your fair share of something or if you have difficulty dealing with others in discussion­s about inheritanc­es or how to deal with shared property. It’s a temporary setback.

Sunday: Your energy level is high and you might encounter the same high energy level from others. Be careful because today people will be ruthless if they have to. Avoid dangerous places and violent people.

This week: Many of you want to travel or undertake new studies. Some are exploring opportunit­ies in publishing, medicine and the law. If these opportunit­ies are situations that existed in the past, your chances are excellent. However, it might be difficult to explore completely new opportunit­ies. Your mind will also be attracted to philosophy, metaphysic­s and abstract ideas about life and society. You realize you have gained the most experience by exposing yourself to something different.

If your birthday is today:

Keith Urban (1967) shares your birthday. You are caring, conscienti­ous and responsibl­e. Although you appear distant and mysterious, you are warm and lovable. It’s a fun-loving year. Enjoy increased popularity and warm friendship­s. You will be more grateful for your life and will appreciate the happiness and beauty around you. You’ll make an important choice.

If your birthday is on Sunday:

TV personalit­y Kelly Osbourne (1984) shares your birthday. You’re intelligen­t, charming, compassion­ate, dependable and responsibl­e. This year, your hard work will begin to pay off! Therefore, start to simplify your life and focus on how to build solid foundation­s. Work with purpose. Physical exercise will be important, which is why you should explore any physical discipline you enjoy.
