Today's Horoscope

MOON ALERT We have the all-clear to do business and make important decisions until 8 p.m. The moon is in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You have a lot of energy to make some home improvements. In fact, the same energy can apply to family discussions. Basically, you're on an improvement kick to improve a lot of things in your private life (and of course, you like to do things yourself).

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You're unusually convincing in all your conversations with everyone. You're not coming on too strong, it's just right. Not only are you speaking clearly and with confidence, you radiate a kind of intelligence today. ("Hi smarty-pants.") Use this to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You'll be aggressive about earning money because you know what you want and you know what you have to do to get it. Those of you who are contemplating big purchases will be equally focused on how you spend your money. (Take note: It's easy to impress a boss.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You feel physically energetic and confident. The moon is in your sign giving you lots of energy and emotional force. Look for ways to make home improvements or to jump on board some money-making enterprise. You're on a roll!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have a lot of quiet strength. You might be aware of it or not. (It's curious how we sometimes don't know when we are really in the zone but generally, we do.) You feel you don't have to prove anything to anyone, especially about disputes related to shared property. Phfft!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Conversations with female friends or acquaintances will be energetic, positive and probably helpful to you. This person might have ideas about how you can make improvements at home or how you can improve your relationship with another female. (Verrrry interesting.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can make a great impression on authority figures because you appear confident and strong; however, there is one tiny glitch. Private details about your personal life might suddenly be public and this might catch you off guard. (Whaaat?)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Great day to make travel plans. Go ahead and figure out where you want to go and what you want to do. Similarly, explore avenues in higher education, medicine, the law and anything to do with publishing and the media. Expand your world just the way you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don't hesitate to discuss how to share something or address insurance matters or anything to do with taxes, debt, mortgages and loans. You are totally on top of your game. You know what you want and you're going to tell everyone else what it is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might attract strong people. Alternatively, partners and close friends will have very lively conversations with you. (Especially female friends.) Enjoy this sizzling repartee. After all, you have a dry wit. Join forces with others to make improvements around you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You get a lot done at work because you're energetic, direct and you know what you want to accomplish. In particular, you'll enjoy organizing your workspace, especially if you work from home. You want to make things ship-shape.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Lucky Pisces are taking a vacation. Basically, you want to have fun! Enjoy flirtations, love affairs, long lunches, romantic dinners, sports events, the theatre, playful times with children and just goofing off. It's great to be alive! (Especially if you're standing in killer shoes.)

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY

Actor Kelsey Grammer (1955) shares your birthday. You have a strong need to express yourself because you are very self-aware. Personally, you strive to improve yourself and become a better person. However, you are also very insightful about the motivations of others. You often identify deeply with your work, which makes criticism tough to handle. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.
