Today's Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your home life might be disrupted in an unusual way today. The introduction of new technology, or worse yet, the frustration of the failure of new technology, or trying to install new technology are all strong possibilities. (Or maybe a techie will knock on your door?)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You feel a bit mischievous and restless today. You might even start a quarrel or say something that irks someone just to see what their reaction is. "Gotcha!" This is not usually your style, but today you can't resist being impish. (A tad passive aggressive?)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Financial matters are unpredictable today. You might suddenly get a job, or a boost in your income, or you might even find money. Or the opposite could be true: you might lose a job, or some income, or some cash. Ditto for your possessions. Keep your eyes open.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You'll be totally bored if something interesting doesn't happen today. You want excitement and stimulation in your life. In particular, you want some sizzle in your love life. You might even start a fight just to see what happens. (The fur will fly if you're hooked up with a Taurus!)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're restless. That's why you have an urge to go somewhere and be seen, as well as be seen by others. It's who Leos are. This is one of the reasons Leos frequent restaurants. It's not just the food. It's the buzz! Make sure something interesting happens today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A casual acquaintance, friend or a member of a group might do something highly irregular today or something that surprises you. Perhaps it's an unexpected invitation or suggestion? Perhaps it's a surprise flirtation? (Now it's getting interesting.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A sudden crush might be developing on a boss, teacher, VIP, or someone older or richer. It might be that person who really knows how to accessorize you were idolizing yesterday. For some however, it could be unexpected praise or kudos from a surprising source.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you have a real need to travel somewhere or do something different. You want adventure. Therefore, do anything that allows you to explore more of life and the world around you. Go someplace you've never been to before. Visit galleries, museums, and libraries. Be a tourist in your own city.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the kind of day where people get wandering eyes if they feel they're bored in their relationships. (You know who you are.) Suddenly, you want fresh, exciting thrills. However, ask yourself if it's really worth upsetting a stable relationship for a fleeting bonbon?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be patient with partners and friends today because this is a highly flirtatious day; and it can certainly stir up trouble in existing relationships. If someone else is flirting, try to understand their need for fun and admiration. If you're flirting, think about the ramifications you might later face. Duh?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Matters at work can be quite unpredictable today. For one thing, people might be flirting with each other, and this could trigger a lot of electrical tension. New friendships could also begin, or unexpected conversations with co-workers and clients might be really surprising!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is definitely a sexy, flirtatious day. However, don't make too much out of an admiring acquaintance because millions in the world today are suddenly flirting and in all likelihood they'll feel a tad sheepish later in the week. ("What was I thinking?")
