HOROSCOPES

All signs: Caution: Avoid shopping or major decisions from midnight to 2 p.m. today.

ARIES

(MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

Today: Avoid arguments because something is making everyone edgy! The key to avoiding squabbles is to take a moment before you respond.

Sunday: You might find that discussions with people in authority are a bit dicey in the morning. By late afternoon, you have strong opinions — and so do they! This could lead to something exciting.

This week: You’re hearing from relatives you never knew you had. Some are sleeping on your doorstep. Oy vey! Even though this is a busy week, around Wednesday/thursday, your energy will flag. Like somebody let the air out of a balloon. Don’t worry; it’ll return.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

Today: Squabbles about possessions will likely occur. Since this will only upset your peace of mind and someone else’s, try to avoid this if you can.

Sunday: This morning is a poor time for discussions about politics, religion or racial issues because nobody wants to listen. .

This week: You’re the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week you’re still focused on money, assets and boosting your earnings. Be clear in all your communications because Mercury retrograde is almost upon us, which is why your daily interactions are having silly mistakes. Messages are mixed up. You might miss appointments. Your daily activities are dogged with silly errors.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

Today: Tread carefully; it’s very easy to butt heads with people. It might not be your fault or theirs.

It will happen because fiery Mars is at odds with the sun in your sign.

Sunday: Money squabbles might take place this morning. Avoid these if you can; they won’t be fun. Later in the day, you might have resourceful, clever ideas about how to use something that someone else owns or how to combine resources to achieve a particular result.

This week: You’re empowered with the sun in your sign; however, mid-week, your energy level will drop. In fact, Wednesday is the perfect day to play hooky. (Don’t shop — just goof off.) You might also feel discouraged midweek or beaten down by circumstances. Your self-confidence will have gone out the window. But this is just a temporary problem.

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 22)

Today: Steer clear of controversial subjects because with the sun at odds with fiery Mars, all hell could break loose! Take it easy.

Sunday: You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. In other words, be accommodating and co-operative.

This week: Life has its challenges right now. For starters, Mercury is almost retrograde in your sign. This is why you’re in contact with old friends and partners. This might be entertaining or horrific. You’re content taking a back seat and watching everything go by. You welcome a low profile and some quiet time so you can ponder what you want to achieve in your new year ahead after your birthday arrives.

LEO (JULY 23 — AUG. 22)

Today: An argument about funding, equipment or shared responsibilities might arise. Think of your long-term objective.

Sunday: You might feel low-energy this morning or concerned about your health. Ironically, as the day wears on, you feel more vim and vigour!

This week: You’ll enjoy interacting with others either online or in person. Friendships and your involvement in groups and classes are stronger than usual. In fact, your interaction with others might cause you to change your goals. At mid-week, you will experience confusion with friends or groups.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 — SEPT. 22)

Today: Do whatever you can to keep your cool. You might lose it talking to a boss, a parent, someone in the police, or perhaps even a partner or close friend?

Sunday: Parents must be patient this morning. Remember that how a day begins influences how it unfolds. Fortunately, tension will disappear and by afternoon, people are ready to play sports and fun activities!

This week: It’s tricky. Fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which makes you annoyed with others. Knowing this, you have to practice diplomacy and patience. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and flippant retorts. This is not the week for them. Exercise discipline and patience and don’t take the bait. Mid-week, you will have difficulties dealing with parents and bosses because of confused assumptions. You might feel inadequate.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 — OCT. 22)

Today: Disputes at work might arise because you want to introduce improvements. Actually, these disputes might arise if you suggest anything!

Sunday: Family squabbles might arise early in the morning.

This week: You have a lot of energy to work hard, which means you will accomplish a lot. Bravo! Because authority figures from your past are suddenly back, they might be impressed with your track record. However, midweek, some kind of confusion will occur that might relate to religion, publishing, legal matters or a medical issue. It could also relate to education.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 — NOV. 21)

Today: It’s a classic day for a fight with your kids or about them. You might also have a dispute about how to divide something whether it’s money, property or responsibilities.

Sunday: Pay attention to everything you say and do this morning. It’s a slightly accident-prone time. Later in the day, you will be full of clever ideas.

This week: You have a lot of playful energy, which bodes well for those of you involved in sports or dealing with kids. If you work in the entertainment world or hospitality industry, you will be energized!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 — DEC. 21)

Today: Be patient with partners and close friends to avoid a fight. Everyone wants to prove a point or prove they’re right. Hey, you can be right or you can be in a relationship.

Sunday: You might be disturbed early morning about financial matters or something you own. Perhaps you can’t find something or it’s damaged?

This week: You need your sleep. Your energy is flagging. Midweek you will really notice this, so schedule naps on Wednesday and Thursday. Also, mid-week, there might be confusion with a partner or friend. It could be based on incorrect assumptions.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 — JAN. 19)

Today: If you get bogged down in arguments, especially fights that are work-related, your efficiency will suffer and theirs. Nothing will get done.

Sunday: Today begins with the moon opposite Mercury, which does not bode well for communications. However, by late afternoon, it’s dancing nicely with Mars, which makes you enthusiastic and up for anything!

This week: You’re coming on like gangbusters! You can use this to your advantage. In all your discussions, you are convincing! This can be used if you’re in sales, marketing, teaching, writing or acting. Admittedly, you might come on too strong. Easy does it.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20 — FEB. 18)

Today: Parents have to be patient. People involved in sports have to be patient with each other. Romantic partners have to be patient with each other.

(FEB. 19 — MARCH 20)

Today: Forewarned is forearmed. Expect arguments with family members. In fact, it’s pretty classic for an argument with anyone!

This week: Home and family continue to be your big focus. Fortunately, with Mars in your sign, you have a lot of energy now to give to home and family. Nevertheless, past issues related to your kids or perhaps an old flame, are back in the picture. Whatever this is — you can handle it.
