Today's Horoscope

MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to shop and make important decisions until 6:15 p.m. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Today you want to get better organized at work and also with matters that relate to your health and well-being. This is why you might lose patience with someone later in the day if your efforts are blocked. Cool your jets.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You're a Friday person! Enjoy yourself. Play hooky from work or take a long lunch. Grab a movie. Nevertheless, later in the day, you'll be annoyed with someone. Patience is your best friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Home and family matters are prominent in your mind today. If you could cocoon at home today, you'd like to do so. Regardless of your plans, something will destroy your serenity causing your peace of mind to fly out the window.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your communications with others are personal and subjective today. You're speaking from a gut level and you want to lay your cards on the table, especially if you're talking to female relatives. ("Hi, Sis.") Don't resort to sarcasm or anger. Take the high road.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're focused on money, cash flow and possessions. You don't want anything you own to be broken, borrowed or stolen. ("I'm guarding my stuff.") Nevertheless, later in the day, something will annoy you. Be patient, dignified and noble like the royal you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional. On the whole, things will go easily but later in the day you might feel annoyed with someone, especially a family member or something to do with your home. Anger will only ruin your day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Usually, you're a people pleaser. You like to get along with others. Nevertheless, you have your grumpy moments! Today you might experience one of these, especially later in the day. If you give in to this grumpiness, you will likely regret it later. Consider it an opportunity to practise patience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with groups and friends will be lively and spirited today. Quite likely, an element of competition is present. Friendly competition is fun but sometimes it gets out of hand and becomes anger. Well, that's no fun, plus it causes problems in relationships. Stay frosty today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Certain details of your private life might be public today, especially in the eyes of authority figures. This may or may not bother you. However, what might also be public is a little temper tantrum or a dispute with someone. Don't lose your cool. Just take this in stride because it will blow over very quickly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because people are touchy! Don't challenge others and especially, don't probe deeply into the private affairs of someone because they will bark back! (People are protective about the private details of their life.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid disputes about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt. Most of today is relatively easy-going; nevertheless, later in the day you might get tangled up in an argument with someone. But hey, this is peanuts. Don't get your belly in a rash. Relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Because the moon is opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY

Author/journalist Erika Mann (1905-1969) shares your birthday. Your energy is strong and very physical. You love your creature comforts and the good things in life. Although easily seduced by temptation, you acquire a philosophical wisdom as the years go by. You always like to be in control of things. Good news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!
