MOON ALERT: There are no restrictio­ns to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

HH You might encounter an authority figure — a parent, boss, teacher or member of the police. Alternativ­ely, you might decide to change your long-term goals because you see a better way of doing things.

This Week: Your popularity increases.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

HH This is a poor day to talk about politics, religion or racial issues, because logic will not prevail. People are easily worked up about things today. They might be hotheaded and passionate. Therefore, give everyone some space about these issues. Lighten up.

This Week: Others notice you! The stars show the kind of day you’ll have:

★★★★★ Dynamic

★★★★ Positive

★★★ Average

★★ So-so

★ Difficult

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HH You have strong feelings today when it comes to how something should be shared or divided, perhaps an inheritanc­e. Or perhaps you’re looking into the wealth of your partner or the wealth and resources of someone else. You might even feel jealous.

This Week: Travel and learn.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22)

HHH Today you might attract someone to you who is very powerful and opinionate­d. Possibly, you will play this role for someone else, but more likely, you will encounter this person. (“Hi Darth.”) Keep things light.

This Week: You get news from ex-partners.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22)

HH You can get an amazing amount done today because you have motivation, focus and follow-through. This determinat­ion will apply to your job, a decision to improve your health or your approach to dealing with a pet.

This Week: Get more sleep.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HH This is a tricky day. Parents might find it challengin­g dealing with their kids today due to hissy fits and meltdowns. In the same way, romantic partners might overreact when dealing with each other. “Boris!” “Natasha!”

This Week: Get organized.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HH Ideally, you can use today’s energy to make improvemen­ts to where you live. These improvemen­ts might relate to plumbing — perhaps to laundry areas, bathrooms or something to do with recycling or garbage.

This Week: Socialize!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHH You are convincing today (and because you’re a Scorpio, that is really saying something). You can use this influence for good or for simply trying to win an argument. Be careful. Don’t try to coerce others into accepting your beliefs.

This Week: Home and family.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

HH You have strong ideas today when it comes to dealing with money or shopping. In fact, something might come up that makes you feel almost obsessed. You might really want to buy something.

(“I have to have it!”) Or, likewise, you might feel obsessed about dealing with financial matters in business.

This Week: A fast pace!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

HH Today might be coming on like gangbuster­s, which is not always your style. You generally take a long view of things, which means you can remember what your objective is. Avoid the temptation to be heated and demanding about something.

This Week: Focus on money.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HH Profound secrets seem to be in the mix today. You might discover a secret. A secret might be revealed. Or perhaps you are trying to keep something secret. Whatever the case, be respectful of others and be discreet.

This Week: You’re in charge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

HHH When talking to a friend today or when dealing with a group or an organizati­on, you might encounter someone who is powerful and persuasive. It’s important that you listen objectivel­y so you can make your mind up. Don’t be swayed by someone else’s snake oil or rhetoric. Think for yourself.

This Week: Stay low.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

You are a seeker who loves to learn new things. You are goal-oriented, because you want to be somebody and have things. Personally, you are kindhearte­d and hardworkin­g. This is a year to embrace change. Stay flexible and be ready to reach out for more personal freedom!
