HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Whether it’s your earnings, or how you want to spend your money today, you feel discouraged. You feel blocked in some way. Possibly, you don’t have enough money or the means to meet the obstacles you face? Courage. “Even a hurricane lasts only a day.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun is in your sign at odds with stern Saturn at the top of your chart. This means dealings with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPS and the police won’t be easy. Avoid authority figures if you can. This is not the day to ask for permission or approval.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you feel vaguely discouraged. You might not even know why — it’s just a feeling. In part, this is because you have to face rules and regulations and perhaps live up to responsibilities — but you don’t want to do this. Get dressed and do something. Small beginnings make a difference.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day for financial discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt because you won’t get your way. You will encounter obstacles and reasons why you can’t do something. Just ride this one out. Tough times are character building.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Relations with partners and close friends, and especially bosses and parents will be dicey today. Incidentally, this includes the police. Don’t be lippy. Do not oppose others — not today. Today you must accept some self-discipline and stay within the guidelines. It is what it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

We all have to deal with rules and regulations in addition to the laws of the land. That’s life. Today your wants and desires will run counter to some kind of authority. It’s just a fact. Accept this and don’t waste energy fighting it. Live to fight another day!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be disappointed with your fair share of something. This is one reason this is a poor day to discuss how to divide or share something with someone. Furthermore, you might have to be responsible for the welfare of someone else? Step up to the plate and do it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Conversations with partners, close friends and older family members won’t be easy today. Someone in authority will be demanding or they might restrict your activities. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Nevertheless, you can’t wiggle out of it. Be strong!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It will be tough to get credit for what you do at work. Furthermore, work will be tough today. (No fair!) It’s just one of those days when you have to slog it out and finish the job in front of you. Even health issues will be challenging. (“Hard times don’t create heroes. Hard times reveal the hero in you.”)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Children might be an increased responsibility today. Meanwhile, issues between romantic partners will be discouraging — even difficult. Stay as strong as you can today and be a support to others because everyone feels challenged today. Factoid.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a tough day for family discussions, especially with parents and older relatives. For starters, you might have to assume responsibility for someone or help them. Secondly, someone in authority might shoot down your ideas, which is why you feel discouraged. It’s tough.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel blocked by others today. Although this is true, you are probably most discouraged by your own state of mind. You’re worried. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Bobby Cannavale (1970) shares your birthday today. You are well spoken, practical, persistent and ever the optimist! As your new personal year begins, you are entering a time of hard work, building and construction. Shore up the framework of your world. Be dogged and persistent. Similarly, you can increase your own body strength through physical exercise and other activities.
