Today's Horoscope

MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to do business and make important decisions. The moon is in Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Today is much easier than yesterday. Things are still a bit sticky, but everything is calming down. Enjoy shmoozing with others and accept invitations to group situations. With Venus at the top of your chart, people see you in very positive terms now. (Milk this.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The dust is settling on differences between family and authority figures in your life. People have to understand your ambition is very strong now and you just have to do what you have to do. Nevertheless, if you can relax at home today, by all means, do so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Hopefully, you got through yesterday without any accidents. Today is just a residual echo of that energy and so everything is calmer and quieter. You're eager to learn something new or talk to people from different backgrounds because you want to expand your world.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are still focused on financial matters and cash flow, but probably feeling better than you did yesterday. Yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train. Courage. Lucky Jupiter enters your sign in July this year. Yay me!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is still in your sign and you have survived yesterday's only full moon in Leo all year. Now you can heave a sigh of relief. Relations with partners and close friends might still be dicey because Mars opposes you, and Mars tends to make you impatient with others. Therefore, patience is your only recourse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You can continue to play it low-key by hiding somewhere or working alone or off in the wings. (This suits you best.) You've been very focused on getting as much efficiency and productivity as you can from your efforts, but even you need a rest, no?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with friends, especially females, will definitely improve. You might be happy to shmooze with others in group situations: classes, church, meetings, casual get-togethers or large conferences. Whatever the situation, you will feel more relieved dealing with others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

No doubt you feel lighter and happier now that the full moon has passed. Relations with authority figures and family members will be more mellow. You don't have to worry about keeping your shirt on if you want to get something off your chest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The tension from yesterday has hugely subsided. Nevertheless, this is still a busy time for you and you're still curious to explore new ideas and see new places. Wonderful! Do what you can. Talk to people from other cultures. Go someplace you've never been before. Be a tourist in your own city.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The stress you might have felt yesterday dealing with the wealth or values of others versus your own earnings and possessions is alleviated. You see that you can work through whatever problems you encountered. There is a solution. It will just take time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your energy is still strong today and relations with others have definitely improved. This is a fortunate time because you will attract people and favourable situations to you, which means you should make the most of this. Enjoy your good fortune.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will notice, as each day goes by, that your home situation improves in every way. Family relationships are warmer and more mutually generous. Something might occur that makes you even feel richer where you live. It's all good.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY

Actor Alan Cumming (1965) shares your birthday. You are bright, clever and often exhibit ingenious talent at a young age, and you maintain a childlike delight and curiosity in life no matter what your age. In your mid-20s, you become more sympathetic and imaginative, and sensitive to everything around you. This sensitivity helps you artistically. In the year ahead, you will learn and study something valuable for your future.
