Moon Alert
We have the "all clear" today to do business (whether $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Tread carefully today because relations with others, especially close friends and partners, are a bit prickly. It's not a big deal. It's subtle. Although late in the day, it might not be that subtle. Relations are stiff but courtesy and patience are your allies.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might be tempted to tell somebody off today - but you won't do it. This is all bubbling on the back burner, sort of behind the scenes. You rarely really lose your temper because things can get ugly and you know it. Chill out.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Parents will have to be patient with kids today just because, and romantic partners will have to be patient with each other as well. The vibes out there are prone to anger and criticisms. Furthermore, people can be demanding, wilful and compulsive. (Yikes!)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Things are touchy with parents, bosses, the police and authority figures today. At worst, you might get into an argument with someone. At best, things will feel stiff and phony-polite. Stick with phony-polite because why risk saying or doing something you later regret?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because people are not conciliatory and easy-going. Au contraire. People are uneasy, emotions are stifled, and yet, people are also obsessed about things! Tiptoe through the tulips.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a poor day to settle matters related to shared property, taxes, debt, insurance issues and anything you own jointly with others. People will not be co-operative. You won't get what you want. Furthermore, others might be difficult and demanding!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Relations with partners and close friends are a bit stiff today. No question. In fact, if issues regarding your home or family member arise, tempers could fray. Therefore, sidestep important issues today. Mellow out. (Can you sing, "Ohm on the Range?")
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Do your best to be patient with co-workers and everyone you meet today because an undercurrent of intolerance and impatience is in the air. Everyone feels it. It can make some people rude and demanding, especially later in the day. Don't get caught up in this.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
People notice you now because the Sun is high in your chart. Today, in particular, relations with others in group settings might be a bit strained. Perhaps you will have to set the tone? Be the person that others can use as an exemplary role model.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Family discussions might be a bit strained today. Ideally, this is not a good day for them. Sometimes, of course, one has no choice. Be patient with parents and female relatives. Don't be demanding and don't let others bully you, either. Be cool.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is not a good day to shoot from the hip or casually express your opinions because you might find your words meet with an icy reception. People are cautious, restrained and super-focused on their own agenda. Tread carefully. You might be super-focused on travel plans. Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might feel hesitant about financial matters today. You don't know whether to press your luck or not. Make sure you have all the information you need before going out on a limb. If shopping, listen to your head, not your heart, because you might be obsessed about wanting to have something. At least, keep your receipts.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Coloratura soprano Laura Claycomb (1968) shares your birthday today. You have grace and poise. You're always ready for what is to happen next. At times, you appear aloof and detached. You have excellent money savvy and are straightforward about going after what you want (sometimes to the chagrin of others). Many of you develop an excellent technical expertise. This year is the beginning of an exciting, fresh new cycle for you. Open any door!
