Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Exercise caution if you decide to contradict an authority figure today, as they may take your remarks as thinly veiled threats. In fact, this may be a time when it's best to keep your disagreements to yourself. It's possible you feel this person is out of their depth. If that's the case, try to find a way to work around them instead of confronting them head-on. Your opinions may be valid, but timing is crucial when it comes to being heard and understood. You can express yourself at some point, it just shouldn't be today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Being forced to deal with someone who has extreme viewpoints could be frustrating for you today. Instead of trying to appeal to their reasoning or spending too much time replying to their e-mails, texts, or phone message, focus on the things that matter most to you. You might decide to go back to school to get advanced training in a subject that has always fascinated you, even though that means just taking online courses for now. Protecting your energy means being able to put more of it toward furthering the interests closest to your own heart.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

It's possible you've grown weary of witnessing selfish behavior around you or in the news. Instead of letting this dim your view of humanity, make an effort to focus on uplifting stories today. Not only will this help shift your mood, it can also help you keep your distance from anyone who asserts the world is doomed. Nothing could be further from the truth -- there are plenty of people doing incredible things for others right now. Change where you put your attention and you could change your view of the world.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

You may feel exhausted by your struggle for dominance with someone in your life. In an ideal world, you would be working together and not against each other. Rather than getting drawn into an emotionally draining battle, try to find some common ground. If thats not possible, keep all your interactions as brief and businesslike as possible. A chance to join forces with someone who is much more supportive could arrive soon. Although youre understandably wary about forming an alliance, it could work to your benefit. Be open to the help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Its especially important to take health and safety precautions while attending to your daily life. If that means not going outside at all today because you feel tired or under the weather, so be it. Even if youre feeling fine and must leave the house, make sure to take precautions by wearing protective gear if you're going to be in the vicinity of other people. Dont worry about appearing overly cautious in front of others. At the end of the day, your well-being is your own business.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

This isnt the best time to take a risk of some kind. Although you may be longing for a thrill, the losses you could experience may be heavier than you realize. Because of this, its best to pour your energy into creative projects. Pushing the envelope with your writing, painting, or music will be exhilarating without the liability. Later in the afternoon, someone from your past could try to reach out to you. Think carefully before reopening the door to this relationship. Theres a good reason you parted in the first place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Your home life could be undergoing radical shifts right now, thereby sapping your energy. Dont let an anxious partner wind you up even further. If someone close to you starts pelting you with questions, kindly ask them to give you space. Going off on your own will help you rediscover your center. Fortunately, family can be a source of tremendous support today. Call your favorite relative and have a heart-to-heart conversation about all the emotional changes youve been experiencing. Their insight will be valuable, helping you make connections to past events you wouldnt otherwise see.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Take any news stories you read today with a grain of salt. Until youre able to assess whether a report is accurate, you must maintain a healthy skepticism. There are always people who enjoy spreading panic, so dont give away your power to this kind of fear mongering. A situation that looks desperate on its surface has a silver lining; look hard for it. Later this evening, you could reconnect with an accomplished person youve always admired. The prospect of collaborating on something together could provide you with the excitement you've been missing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

A headstrong attitude could land you in hot water today. Compromise is your best bet now, especially when it comes to money matters. This might come in the form of being willing to work for a smaller percent of the profits than you initially intended. Alternately, you might need to offer a discount in the early stages of a financial venture. Don't let this get you down. Instead, see this an opportunity to get your foot in the door and dazzle them with your skills. This could ultimately lead to more work down the line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Keeping information from a neighbor or relative today could create resentment later on. Its best to be honest about what you know. When someone asks you a question, give them a direct answer, even if it feels uncomfortable to do so. By keeping certain tidbits to yourself, you may unintentionally drive a wedge between you and the subject of this gossip. When you grow tired of the drama swirling around you, escape to a tranquil hideaway. Switch off your phone and stay off social media. The silence will be therapeutic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20):

Trying to change a friend will be a losing proposition now. The best thing you can do for all your loved ones is to accept them, warts and all. If someone you know is engaging in troublesome behavior, ask yourself whether you want to be subjected to it any longer. You may decide a temporary separation is best, especially if theyve been borrowing money they cant repay and you're in need of yourself. It's in your nature to care for other people, but you must look out for yourself first.
