The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
**** A conversation with someone younger might feel invigorating and stimulating today. Certainly, this is an excellent day to think about future goals. Why not bounce your hopes and dreams for the future off someone to get their feedback?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
**** Today you feel unusually clear about your objectives, and your life direction (even though that might change in a day or two). This is because the Sun is lined up with Mercury at the very top of your chart, which enhances your ability to talk to (and impress) parents, bosses and authority figures. Yes!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
**** This is a fantastic day to study, or use your mind for any intellectual pursuit, especially in academia, medicine, the law or something to do with publishing and the media. You will express yourself directly and convincingly. You will examine your ideas and state your position.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
**** You are a great saver. You're thrifty with your money and certainly never casual about your finances. Today you have ideas about shared property, taxes, debt and how you handle any assets that are shared with someone else. It's an excellent day for negotiations. (Money might come to you.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
**** This is a cards-on-the-table day. Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be clear headed and direct. People will speak their minds. Sometimes this is a good thing because it can clarify issues, by giving either party the courage to air their grievances.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** This is an excellent day to be hands-on with any job that you do. Roll up your sleeves and get busy! It's also a good day to talk to bosses and supervisors about what you want because you'll be more courageous than usual in expressing your needs. Fortunately, coworkers are supportive and helpful.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
**** Respect your creative ideas today because you're on a roll! Discussions with kids will be upbeat and worthwhile. Romantic partners might also have the courage to be very clear about what they want, and do not want, in a relationship. This is a fun-loving, playful day!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
*** Discussions with your kids will be lively and direct today. All parties will speak up to express your views. Likewise, romantic discussions will be explicit and hopefully, each party will listen to the other. Meanwhile, you might have great ideas about sports or the arts.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**** Today you can sell sawdust to carpenters - that's how convincing you will be. It's a wonderful day for sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing because you will put a lot of yourself into whatever you say, which is why you'll be instructive and persuasive. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Respect your moneymaking ideas today because they might be worthwhile. This is an excellent day to initiate something, especially related to commerce. You might make future plans related to jobs, saving, and financial planning. You might also invest in art or something beautiful.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
**** With the Sun and Mercury lined up in your sign today, you will be chatty and keen to talk to everyone. You'll want to share your views with anyone who will listen. This is also an ideal day to take the initiative and start things! Vroom, vroom!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
**** This can be a revealing day for you because you might be more interested in examining yourself and becoming more aware of your position on certain topics or subjects. You might do research that reaffirms what you quietly believe.
