Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Parents need to be patient with their kids to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Frankly, people all around you are quick to anger, or feel hurt or offended. (It’s that kinda day.) Be patient with friends, as well as groups. Courage — this is temporary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Steer clear of confrontations with bosses, parents and authority figures. Sudden interruptions might change your routine. For example, small appliances might break down, a minor outage could occur or someone unexpected might knock at your door.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Keep your wits about you, and pay attention to what you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. You might suddenly blurt something out you later regret. Avoid arguments about politics, religion and other touchy subjects. Stay cool.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Financial disagreements are likely. In fact, something surprising or unexpected could impact your finances or something you own. Double-check bank accounts and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. You might have to defend your best interests.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is in your sign; however, it’s at odds with three different planets making you feel nervous and edgy, and at the same time, you’ll encounter difficult communications with partners, spouses and close friends. Stand tall. Don’t be quick to take offence because misunderstandings are rife.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient with work colleagues because something going on behind the scenes might cause a disruption. Misunderstandings about procedures or a work-related romance could be a challenge. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be patient with your kids. Likewise, avoid nasty arguments with romantic partners. Challenges with sporting events and teammates might also arise because unexpected situations are likely (including accidents); plus, people are agitated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. In fact, some will know personal details about your private life. Patience is your best ally because difficulties with partners, friends and family members (especially parents) are likely. Stay chill.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You want to escape and “get away from all this.” If you can travel — do so. However, be aware there is an accident-prone influence, especially related to your job or anything to do with your pet. Avoid arguments for your own benefit. Be mindful of everything you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Social plans might change or be cancelled. Be vigilant with your kids to avoid accidents. Take care with sports-related activities as well, which are also accident-prone. Discussions about possessions, money and finances will be dicey. Hang in there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The moon is opposite your sign — opposing both Mercury and Venus. The moon is also at odds with Uranus, creating unexpected situations that might take place at home or with a family member. Use your friendly charm to smooth over troubled waters. Be co-operative and supportive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. Something going on behind the scenes might create problems for you or cause you to worry. People are not co-operative. It’s hard to anticipate what’s going to happen next. Do as little as possible and be patient.
