The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
** Tread carefully at work today or with any task related to helping someone else, or dealing with pets, because communications are confusing. This is a poor day to make a decision related to your health. In fact, postpone any important decisions until tomorrow.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
*** This week romance gets a lovely boost except for today. Today self-doubt, feelings of insecurity and genuine confusion might cloud important issues. Don't make an important decision that affects your kids or a romantic partner. You will have more clarity tomorrow.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
** This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from authority figures. No doubt their response will be, "Talk to the hand." Not only is your confidence weak today, you might not have all the facts. Confusion and even deception are at play. Keep a low profile.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
** Steer clear of controversial subjects today because they will go south in a New York minute. Judgmental attitudes and a lack of emotional flexibility will make cooperation with others difficult. Things look worse than they really are. You can't believe everything you hear.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
** Don't make important financial decisions today. This is also a poor day to shop because confusion, deceit and indecision are in the picture. In addition to which, you might feel depressed, which will affect your take on things. Wait until tomorrow, which is a much better day!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Play your cards close to your heaving bosom today. This is not the day to push boundaries or take a chance. For starters, someone might be fast and loose with the truth. How do you know? In addition to which, negative timidity pervades everything. Sit this one out. Wait until tomorrow.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
** Fortunately, you have a strong focus on home and family now, which is why you are best off hiding at home if you can. Issues related to your work and your health are subject to confusion and misrepresentation. You might also put the worst spin on things. (Yes, it's that kinda day.) Act tomorrow!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
** Friends or members of a group might disappoint you today. This is par for the course because conversations are confusing - even depressing. This could relate to sports, social outings or something to do with your kids. Postpone whatever you can until tomorrow, which is a better day.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
** Be aware that you're high viz., which means people notice you today. Try to be conservative because if you make pronouncements from on high, you might regret it. Emotional confusion, even deceit, and certainly judgmental attitudes are in the air. Go gently.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Avoid discussions about politics, religion or racial issues today because they will be pointless and possibly unpleasant. Nothing effective will be accomplished. Someone might stretch the truth or make judgmental allegations. Steer clear of this. Tomorrow is a better day!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
** Postpone financial decisions about inheritances, shared property, insurance issues and debt until tomorrow because today there's too much confusion. It's hard to know what's real. You might even be deceived.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
** Today you might feel judged by someone. This might be the case - or not. What is important is how you feel. The truth of the matter is that today has an element of deceit and confusion; plus, an air of depression. (Yikes.) Tomorrow is a better day.
