HOROSCOPES

All signs: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today.

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

Today: You’re pumped with energy! Physical exercise and athletics will be excellent outlets for you because some of this energy might build up within you and it will need a release.

Sunday: You must be accommodating and conciliatory. Be prepared to go more than halfway to maintain harmony in your closest relationships.

This week: You have lots of energy because your ruler Mars is in your sign, where it will stay for the rest of the year. (The last time this occurred was in 1988.) Meanwhile, the sun encourages lighthearted relationships, social interactions, sports, hot romance, entertaining diversions and fun activities with kids. Note: The end of the week is an accident-prone time for your kids as well as sports so pay attention. That also will be the classic time for sudden changes in social situations — surprise invitations or cancellations.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

Today: There’s a strong chance someone or some energy is working against your best interests, possibly for months to come. Keep this in mind. Trust your judgment. If you think something fishy is going on, it is.

Sunday: You’ll be happy to accomplish a lot at any task that you set for yourself. You might also want to improve your health. Meanwhile, your focus on home, family and a parent in particular is primary.

This week: Life is good. You can attract money now. Many of you are spending more than usual on beautiful things. You have a strong focus right now on home, family and your private life.

Some of you are involved more than usual with a parent. Be careful towards the end of the week. An upset at home or a surprise might catch you off guard. Be patient with parents and authority figures. You have a busy pace this week because short trips, conversations, reading, writing and studying will fill your time. Near the end of the week, avoid arguments, which are really just power struggles.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

Today: From now until the end of the year, you will be able to achieve your goals best by working co-operatively. It’s not a time to go it alone. Team action should be your slogan for the next six months.

Sunday: It’s a playful, fun-loving day! Enjoy social outings. Activities with kids, sports, the arts and shmoozing will be top choices for you. With Venus in your sign — everyone loves you!

This week: Your busy pace continues because you have an ambitious To Do list. Not only are you reading and studying more than usual, you’re talking to siblings and neighbours plus taking little trips. You are even chattier than usual. Many of you will have financial discussions. You’re charming and diplomatic with everyone; nevertheless, you will make your point! You’re also very goal oriented now, thinking about your priorities for the future. Toward the end of the week, avoid financial arguments and be extra vigilant to avoid accidents.

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 22)

Today: Your ambition is aroused this year like never before. Not since 1988 have you been so gung ho. This is why you’re working extremely hard. It’s also why you might be perceived as a threat to your boss or co-workers.

Sunday: Cocoon at home and relax. Because you have been so driven lately (which will continue for the rest of the year), you need to catch your breath. Perhaps you need to talk to a family member?

This week: It’s still all about money, possessions and your assets. You’re giving this a lot of thought plus you’re thinking about your values. Towards the end of the week, some kind of surprise or something unexpected will impact your earnings, your wealth or your possessions. (You might find yourself at odds with a partner or close friend.) Your ambition is aroused and will continue to be strong until the end of the year! No matter what happens, you will work hard. Please do not ignore or overlook the needs of others, which is certainly not your style — but right now you mean business!

LEO (JULY 23 — AUG. 22)

Today: For the rest of this year, explore creative ideas or anything that will open up new dimensions for you. Travel, education, training, plus talking to people from other cultures are all excellent possibilities. Publishing, the media, medicine and the law are strong as well.

Sunday: Your choices will be based on hunches rather than analytical deduction. Of course, with the sun in your sign, things will tend to go your way! You attract favourable situations and people to you!

This week: The sun gives you a chance to re-energize and replenish. Relations are warm and friendly because Venus makes you loving and affectionate. It’s a lovely time to socialize in person or online. You want to travel and expand your horizons, which is why you want to get out and do something different. However, as the weekend approaches something unexpected might upset your routine. It could be an argument, a car breakdown or something that interrupts your routine. Stay chill. Even in bad times — good things can happen.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 — SEPT. 22)

Today: This year you might encounter someone who has a powerful effect upon you and makes you change. They might encourage you to modify your position about something. Meanwhile, conflicts about shared property and inheritances are likely.

Sunday: Keep a low profile; you’re focused on financial issues. This could be because of a dispute regarding inheritances, taxes, insurance or shared property. Fortunately, authority figures have your back.

This week: Stay in the wings, working alone or behind the scenes. You’re not being anti-social — it’s just your preference. Fortunately, relations with

VIPS are smooth. They see you in a positive light. In fact, their admiration for you is so strong, a romance with a boss might begin. Many of you are hanging out with younger people, which is why you might be enthusiastic about new ideas. Disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance are still in the picture. This could be because of something that catches you off guard at the end of the week. All is good. You’re just fine.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 — OCT. 22)

Today: Mars will be opposite your sign for the rest of the year, which can signify conflicts. On the upside, Mars will give you the courage to express your grievances and bring things out into the open.

Sunday: You feel emotionally all over the map. Don’t worry about this. It’s normal when the moon is in your sign. (This happens to each of us about two days every month.) Just grin and bear it.

This week: You want to enjoy the company of friends, small wonder because you are the most social sign! Nevertheless, you have to remain calm now when dealing with those closest to you. They might seem annoying. If you react, then they will react and then before you know it, you’re arguing. This does not promote your happiness, does it? For your own good, rise above this. Carpe diem! Enjoy whatever is good in life and be patient with others.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 — NOV. 21)

Today: You’ll find it easy to work hard for the rest of this year; however, you might have to put out a lot of energy on behalf of someone else because it’s just how things play out right now.

Sunday: You are high viz, especially to authority figures. Nevertheless, you’re playing your cards close to your bosom. You want privacy. You’re not too thrilled with this high visibility. Like, what’s with that?

This week: The sun casts you in a flattering spotlight. (Remember this happens only once a year for four weeks.) This makes you look wonderful in the eyes of VIPS. You can use this to your advantage; make your pitch or do what you can to advance your agenda. Nevertheless, steer clear of discussions about politics, religion and racial issues because arguments might arise, especially toward the end of the week. You’re working hard. This might also contribute to an argument with an authority figure by the weekend. Be patient: Like you, everyone has to put their mask on one ear at a time.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 — DEC. 21)

Today: You want to do your own thing and not take a back seat. You will assert yourself, especially in ways where you can express your playful and supportive talents. Romance will be hot and sexy. (Be patient with your kids.)

Sunday: A conversation with a female acquaintance might be important and affect your goals? You are future oriented right now, especially with regard to travel or getting more education and training.

This week: Life is an adventure lately. You want something exciting to happen! You want to travel and learn things and meet people and be stimulated by ideas! Fortunately, relations with partners and close friends are lovely because fair Venus is opposite your sign this week. However, travel plans or matters related to the media, medicine and the law might surprise you toward the end of the week. Your high-energy will continue (as it will for the rest of year), which is why you’re seeking ways to express your creative talents.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 — JAN. 19)

Today: Increased activity and chaos on the home front are likely until the end of the year. This could be due to guests, moves or major renovations. Naturally, this could introduce tension. Patience is your best ally.

Sunday: Details about your private life seem to be public. People know things about you or are talking about you. Since you want to project a respectable reputation, preferably with prestige, this will concern you. After all, appearances are everything.

This week: It’s an intense week. Something at home is creating increased activity, chaos or uncertainty. This can promote tension with family members. Fortunately, relations with co-workers are excellent. People will be supportive and friendly this week. But toward the end of the week, you might be at odds with a partner or close friend, possibly because of a sudden upset that impacts inheritances, shared wealth or the resources of your partner. Fear not, you have divine protection.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 — FEB. 18)

Today: The pace of your life will accelerate for the rest of the year. You have high energy and busy plans! Conversations will be dynamic and to the point because you identify strongly with your opinions and ideas. Beware of coercing others to agree.

Sunday: Do something different. Shake up your routine. You want to discover something new in your world! If you can travel, do so. Talk to people from different backgrounds and other cultures.

This week: Respect your need for more sleep and rest. You’re functioning on slightly less energy. Admittedly, your communications are forceful but that’s just because you have a way with words. Despite your lower energy, you have many opportunities for fun. Creative activities are favoured; you need to express yourself! Romance is warm and reassuring. It’s easier to relate to kids, which is why it’s a great week for games and fun. You want to amuse yourself! Avoid arguments at the end of the week. Anger serves no purpose except to make everyone miserable.

PISCES (FEB. 19 — MARCH 20)

Today: You’re identifying with your wealth and possessions more than usual this year. You act as if you are what you have or what you own. This could lead to extravagant expenditures. (Keep receipts.)

Sunday: Deal with taxes, debt, money or anything to do with inheritances and shared property. You’ll feel better to get it behind you. Don’t let it pile up. Fortunately, you have the energy to work and get stuff done.

This week: You will continue to bust your buns. You want to get a lot done and do it well. You’re setting high personal standards, which means you want to be efficient, organized and productive. You even want to improve your health! Some of this energy will spill over into efforts to redecorate. You’ll enjoy entertaining because you feel warm and social. Don’t spend too much money, which you might be tempted to do. Toward the end of the week, upsets at work might occur. Don’t let this spill over into arguments with kids or partners.

If your birthday is today: Actress Miriam Shor (1971) shares your birthday. You have unique skills. (You might be interested in science and technology.) You’ll soon sense that you’re winding up things you began nine years ago by letting go of what is no longer relevant and moving on to something new. Do not think of this as a loss. You are lightening your load for new beginnings!

If your birthday is on Sunday: Actress Helen Mirren (1945) shares your birthday. You can work alone or with others because you’re well-liked. Exciting news! You’re entering a year of new beginnings! This means it’s time to identify goals to determine what you want for yourself in the next few years. Be proactive and physically energetic about going after what you want. Just do it!
