Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You will identify with your possessions, which is why you might be less willing than usual to part with something. Or you might feel you have to defend your values? If making a big purchase, take a moment to think about why you want to do this.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You feel a strong need to “belong” to friends and loved ones. In fact, you feel sensitive to the feelings and the moods of those around you. This means you have a stronger emotional connection with people. Fortunately, things will tend to go your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Carve out some quiet time, because you need a moment to withdraw and contemplate your navel. You might have to sort out some feelings or ponder something. This is not the ideal day to socialize; however, it’s an excellent day for inner exploration.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your emotional contact with friends and groups is important to you. In fact, you might feel protective about someone or ready to defend them. You might also feel a bit jealous if they pay attention to someone else. (Childish or not, we all get these feelings from time to time.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

People respect you because it’s apparent you’re sensitive about their needs. This is why you might help someone. Likewise, you might be sensitive toward a group. Meanwhile, your private world is more public — something beyond your control.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Try to break free from your daily routine and go off somewhere, because you need a change. You need stimulation! Travel is a great choice, but if you can’t do so — do something different. Seek out new friends, especially from different backgrounds. Learn something novel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The moon is in Taurus, and Taurus and Libra are both ruled by Venus, which means both Taurus and Libran people appreciate beautiful things and the good life. Take care of financial details and banking matters. You might also feel possessive about something someone else owns.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon is opposite your sign, which tends to make loved ones and partners feel more important to you. And yet, you might experience emotional conflict with them? Guard against knee-jerk reactions. Focus on getting along with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’ll feel proud of your accomplishments. Therefore, don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves and dig in! Work for yourself or better yet, do something to help someone else, because this will give you a strong sense of self-respect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a playful, loving day! Romance is favoured. Perhaps you’ll find you feel protective and nurturing to others — either children or a romantic interest. (More than any other sign in the zodiac, you value the tradition of home and family.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the perfect day to take some “me time” and relax at home, or any place where you feel private and secure. If you can do this, you might have a chance to observe how habits are ruling your life. If your habits are helpful — that’s fine. If your habits are simply something from the past — think about this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

When talking to others, you want to establish a meaningful level of conversation. You want to speak truthfully and from the heart. You don’t want to waste time in idle chit-chat about the weather. Your challenge is to find someone who also wants meaningful conversation. Not always easy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Taraji P. Henson (1970) shares your birthday. You’re observant, perceptive and independent. You have excellent organizational skills. This is a more laid-back year. Take time to rejuvenate yourself. Focus on business and personal relationships, especially those that require extra kindness, helpfulness and assistance. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness.
