YOUR HOROSCOPE Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

All signs

Moon Alert: Until 6:45 p.m. today, we have the “all clear” to do business. The Moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully when talking to friends (especially female acquaintances) today, as well as members of groups. Unusual, sudden ideas might trigger disputes about shared property, funding and how something will be paid. Don’t leap to conclusions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

An unexpected encounter with a boss, parent or a VIP might be related to difficulties you have with a friend or partner. Perhaps surprise news triggers an argument with someone? Or perhaps someone close to you is critical of your behaviour with your boss or parent?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because they will trigger arguments. Meanwhile, travel delays or unexpected surprises might also create conflict with coworkers.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Try to minimize disputes about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt today because they will only upset you. They might relate to the cost of caring for children or the cost for a social event.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Family disputes might arise today because of unexpected news from afar. Or perhaps surprise travel plans will catch you off guard? Something unexpected will trigger a domestic argument. Take it easy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Disputes at work are likely today, especially disputes about budgets, equipment or the allocation of something. You might feel unfairly treated. Conversely, someone might be envious of whatever you have. (Go figure.)

A surprise invitation somewhere might delight you but it might also strain your pocketbook. (Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?) Romantic disputes or arguments about children might arise; in part, because things are happening too fast!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might feel quarrelsome today. Quite likely, a female family member will do or say something that upsets you. (Admittedly, you were feeling a tad irritable, anyhow.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Even though something unexpected occurs today or a romantic partner is more aggressive — hold the phone. Do not overreact, which will be your impulse.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial disputes might occur because of a sudden windfall, a sudden expense, or a sudden purchase. Something unexpected will trigger a discussion — almost surely.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today there’s good news and there’s bad news while the Moon is in your sign. The bad news is that you might quarrel with a parent or a boss. Perhaps you feel competitive about something?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Something hidden or behind the scenes might impact your earnings in a favourable way today. In turn, this might also cause you to change your plans about higher education or travel. Try to leave your options open because it is wise to have some choice available to you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Cartoonist/writer (“Doonesbury”) Garry Trudeau (1948) shares your birthday today. You are eloquent and charming. Your persistence and innovativeness will guarantee you success; but your true ace in the hole is your optimism. A new nine-year cycle is the beginning of for you. This opens up many possibilities. You might start a new business activity or change residences.
