HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert: After 7:30 AM EST today (4:30 AM PST) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions for the rest of the day. After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are resourceful! You can do anything with your hands. You’re also courageous. Today you have decided that you’re going to get better use out of something that you own. You might change or transform it, or find a new use for it. (You’ll make this happen.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will work hard to achieve your goals today or to finish a particular task. If you physically exercise or do anything to improve your body strength, you will really get results. Today you have the ability to push beyond your usual limits.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re busy working behind the scenes or doing something privately or even secretly today. Whatever the case, you will be productive and get a lot done. Ultimately, your efforts might reveal something to others or perhaps even reveal something just to you. “Eureka!”

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might take charge of a group or a friendly discussion with someone because your energy is strong and competitive today. You want results for your efforts and you intend to get them. Be careful about trying to coerce others to follow your lead. Easy does it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your ambition is aroused today, which is why you might come on a bit too strong when dealing with others. Be careful you don’t threaten bosses, supervisors, parents and other people in authority. Use tact and diplomacy to achieve your aims. The key is to remember your objective.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have strong opinions today, especially about religion, politics or racial issues. It’s okay to have your opinions but don’t coerce others into agreeing with you. (You can’t reason someone out of an unreasonable position because they didn’t use reason to get there in the first place.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might find yourself in a dispute with someone about shared property, shared debt or shared responsibilities. You might even have a disagreement about different values. Whatever the case, you have strong opinions about what you want today. Easy does it. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today might attract someone very powerful to you. (“Hi Darth.”) This person might want to suggest how you can improve yourself; or conversely, you might have ideas about doing a makeover for them? Either way, you could encounter a contest of wills. Take the high road.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You can accomplish a great amount today if you’re at work or doing any kind of task because you will keep on going until you achieve your aims. You will be dogged and persevering! You can also use this same energy to exercise and workout to improve your health.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you are involved in sports today, you will be unbeatable because you have tremendous energy to achieve your aims. Furthermore, you feel competitive. Others might use this same energy when dealing with kids; or in a romantic, social setting.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you will put out a considerable amount of energy to make improvements to where you live. (Like pushing furniture around.) Possibly, others will help you to make improvements. For some, you will use this intense focus to improve family dynamics.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will have no trouble convincing others to agree with you today because you’re coming on like gangbusters! If you need to persuade, sell, market, teach or act — people will definitely listen to you. (Let up a little if you see their hair blowing back over their ears.)

If Your Birthday Is Today Business magnate Steve Jobs (1955-2011) shares your birthday today. You are charming, persuasive and have excellent business savvy. You enjoy being involved with many people. Finally, you will now start to see the benefit of all your hard work. Focus on building solid foundations now and for the future.
