The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
**** You have lots of mental energy today because the Moon is in your sign dancing with your ruler fiery Mars, which pushes you into a leadership role. It makes you feel independent, and ready to challenge anyone who challenges you. (Oh yeah.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
*** Focus your energy on home and family today; although you might be best served working alone or behind the scenes because you're keen to work hard to boost your earnings. This is also a gentle, social day that is sweet for romance.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
*** Sports and competitive physical activities might appeal to you today, especially with friends, teams and groups. At a less energetic level, you're also keen to talk to others and share your ideas. Short trips and a chance to learn something new will intrigue.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
*** You're noticed today. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Ironically, you might be a bit bossy because you want your way in some things. Because of this, you will stand up to bosses and others who challenge you. (Remember courtesy.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
**** Today you can explore new ideas, meet new people and learn new things. Politics and controversial subjects might also appeal. If so, you will speak up. Because most of this day is a Moon Alert, don't volunteer for anything.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** You might be caught up in discussions about shared property, shared wealth, inheritances, taxes and debt. If so, this is a poor day to agree to anything important. (Check Moon Alert above.) Get your information. Do your homework. Wait until tomorrow to act.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
*** You might attract someone to you today who is feisty and a bit aggressive but interesting. See what they have to say because it might be enlightening in some way. Nevertheless, because most of this day is a Moon Alert (see above), do not agree to anything important.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
**** You're ready to roll up your sleeves and work! This is why you might delegate to others and be a bit bossy. Keep in mind that most of this day is a Moon Alert, so stick with the schedule. Wait until tomorrow to launch into something new. (You'll be glad you did.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**** This is a playful, competitive day! If you're interested in team sports or physical athletics - get out and do your thing because you're revved up and ready for action! Be smart and be patient with spouses, partners and close friends to keep the peace.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Be understanding and gracious with family members today to avoid conflict. Nevertheless, you want to make some improvements around the place. You might see the need for repairs along with ways to fortify where you live for future security.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
**** You'll defend your ideas today and explain what you want because your communication style is energized by Mars. This makes you want to initiate and take charge. Do be aware that most of this day is a Moon Alert. Cool your jets.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
*** You might be tempted to spend money - quickly and rashly. This is not a good idea. Restrict your spending to food and gas today from 2:15 PM to 11 PM EDT or (11:15 AM to 8 PM PDT). Be smart.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Former actress, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle (1981) shares your birthday today. You're strong-willed, intelligent and dynamic. You're also independent, influential and a seeker of knowledge. This year is about creating solid foundations in your life - both external and internal. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise is important. Explore martial arts or yoga. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
