Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or big decisions from 8 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

When talking to friends or members of groups, tread lightly, because people are emotional; and because of this, someone might say something they will later regret. (This person could be you.) A platonic relationship could turn intensely romantic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Pull in your reins a little, because you might have strong feelings in a discussion with bosses, parents, the police or anyone in a position of authority. The thing to know is you are high-viz. Others will notice you. Do be aware of this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be smart and avoid heated discussions about controversial topics like religion and politics, because this is the classic day for people to butt heads. Emotions are running high. Some people will be entrenched in their views and logic has left the room. Run away! Run away!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You’re an excellent saver, and rarely casual about money. This could be why you have strong feelings about financial matters, especially debt, shared property, inheritances or insurance issues. (Early in the day, a partner or close friend might surprise you.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Use your Leo charm and wisdom when dealing with partners and close friends, because feelings are intense and powerful. You might have a reaction to something someone says. Conversely, you might attract someone to who is very in-your-face. Take it easy. Count to three before you respond.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re determined to introduce improvements to your job or the way you do something. Or perhaps this desire for improvement will extend to your health or the way you deal with a pet? Whatever the case, you might be fanatical about your new ideas. (Be aware of this.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Romance is complicated. A relationship might be unbelievably passionate, or some kind of obsessive quality might take over if there are feelings of jealousy, fear, insecurity or possessiveness. Take a step back and let some fresh air into the situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your ruler Pluto and the moon are lined up creating an intense focus that can be self-analytical, whether you’re looking more deeply into yourself or at someone else. To counter this, lighten up, if you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Steer clear of arguments with siblings, relatives, neighbours and any daily contacts you encounter, because you might end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) You want to convince someone to agree with your ideas. (That’s putting it mildly.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your thoughts about money, cash flow and personal possessions are not casual. Oh no. You have specific, strong ideas. For starters, others should respect your assets, because if they don’t, they’ll hear about it. Oh yeah.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The moon is in your sign lined up with Pluto, which will create intense, emotional experiences within you that may cloud your logic or sense of perspective. Take caution against overestimating something. Avoid important decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a high-energy, popular day for you, and your involvement with others will be direct and possibly competitive. In fact, you might take charge of a situation. Be aware that something beneath the surface might be driving you to attain a certain result, whether you’re aware of this or not.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
