HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert: We have the “all clear” today to do business. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19) This is a good day; however, midday, an authority figure or someone who is older and more experienced might shoot down your ideas about travel, philosophy, religion, politics, publishing, medicine and the law. Yikes, that’s a wide range of vulnerability!

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You want to have fun today. You want a nice long lunch, the pleasure of other people’s company, and you might also want to enjoy sports events and fun times with children. Nevertheless, midday, arguments about shared property will annoy you. Fortunately, this is shortlived. (Change lunch plans to dinner.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Family and your personal life are your primary focus today. And on the whole, things are unfolding quite nicely. However, in the middle of the day, at some point, you might have a quarrel with a partner or close friend because they don’t agree with your ideas about something. Bummer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Avoid arguments with coworkers today, especially in the middle of the day, because frankly, they’re just not worth it. Why bother? The rest of the day is really quite fine. Therefore, don’t let the proverbial bad apple ruin the whole barrel.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Squabbles about money, or the cost of a social occasion, or the cost of something to do with children, or shared costs between romantic partners might be an issue today. But if you can side step this momentary prickly event, most of this day is just fine.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Most of this day is pretty good, except that in the middle of the day, the judgmental attitudes of someone might depress you. Suddenly, life will feel hard and difficult. But take heart because this is just a fleeting, dark cloud on your horizon. Trust me.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Home and family are strong today. In fact, you might see ways to make improvements, especially to bathrooms, plumbing areas or anything to do with garbage, recycling and laundry. However, midday, someone might squelch your ideas. Grrrr. (Is there no justice in this world?)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A friend might be difficult about financial matters and cash flow in the middle of the day today. Fortunately, most of your interactions with others are pleasant. What can you do about a cheapskate? (For sure, they’re not a Leo because Leos are never cheap.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone in a position of authority (parent or boss) might discourage you today. This always makes things bleak, doesn’t it? However, several other planetary influences are positive. You simply have to take the high road and ignore criticisms. Be gone! Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone might pull a guilt trip on you today, especially related to politics, religion or racial issues. Totally unfair. And yet, predictable, right? Just let this go because other planetary aspects are positive today. (Enjoy your day because that will drive them crazy.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Squabbles about the cost of something or how to share something might arise today. Someone older might not approve of an expense or how funds are handled. Just let this go because all things being equal, this can be a great day for you. Don’t let the black Crípe paper hanger’s get you down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) This is a lovely day to schmooze with friends and members of groups. In fact, you will need their reassurance and comfort because for some reason, an authority figure will be critical of you or try to rain on your parade. Don’t take this to heart.

If Your Birthday Is Today Actor George Newbern (1964) shares your birthday today. You are pragmatic, realistic and organized, which makes it tough for you to work for those who aren’t. Because you are heading for a time of financial accumulation in the next three years, settle your debts this year. If you clear away indebtedness you will be in the best position possible. Consolidate your affairs this year to grow in the future.
