Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food or gas) or important decisions from midnight until 5 a.m. After that, we have the all clear. The moon is in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

People are a bit touchy, so be patient with yourself and others. Discussions about shared property and responsibilities, inheritances and financial matters might turn into power struggles. Be wise and postpone these for another day. Do what you can to keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Be patient when talking to partners, spouses and close friends because people are uneasy and quick to take offence. Feelings of jealousy can arise out of nowhere. It’s a challenging day. You’ll enjoy learning something new or doing something different.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Don’t make a big issue about anything at work related to health-care workers or even your pet because ego battles might arise. People feel emotionally invested in whatever they’re doing, and they don’t want anything getting in their way. Tread carefully.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Parents need to be patient with their kids to avoid meltdowns and hissy fits. Constructive criticism can help, but encouragement does more. (You’re the adult.) Romantic partners are also inclined to irritability and passionate disagreements. Tiptoe through the tulips.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid disagreements at home by going out, keeping silent or getting involved in your own project because power struggles are classic. It’s not just you — the vibes are everywhere. Don’t make a big deal about anything. And remember — you don’t have to be right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Use the day’s energy to enjoy creative projects, social outings or any kind of escape activity. Discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbours might be irritating or worse. Don’t try to change anybody’s mind or enlighten them about anything. Resist the urge, even if you know you’re right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Money squabbles might arise. These could pertain to earnings and cash flow. Or they might be related to a purchase, whether it’s recent or one planned for the future. Shelve this discussion for another day. Let’s face it, you need harmony in your everyday environment. Be your own best friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon in your sign is at odds with your ruler, Pluto, which can trigger compulsive behaviours, sudden urges and impulses. On the upside, it’s a good day for emotional self-analysis because you’re willing to be honest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might be nursing feelings of guilt, jealousy or general restlessness. Everyone feels this in varying degrees because it’s a disconcerting day. Focus on financial matters to distract your mind and stay grounded. Get outside and take a walk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Emotional power struggles with friends or members of groups are likely. You might even encounter someone who is manipulating your feelings to get their way. People are disgruntled and very passionate. If something looks dicey, go the other direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t be the victim of a public argument where others look askance at you and make you feel chagrined. Be aware that you are high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Furthermore, everyone is touchy and emotionally charged.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Controversial subjects such as politics and racial issues will bring power struggles — no question. Steer clear of these for your own peace of mind. After all, you want to have a happy day — you don’t want angst. Nobody does.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Automotive designer, race-car driver Carroll Shelby (1923-2012) shares your birthday. You’re perceptive, astute and an excellent decision-maker. You have intellectual clarity and logical thought processes. This is a good year to work to build structures both externally and internally. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will play an important role. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
