Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Caution. Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and important decisions all day after 6 a.m. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

With your ruler Mars in your sign, you have lots of energy. Plus, you’re chatty because Mercury (the planet of communications) is also in Aries. However, you might have to lend your efforts to help someone else. (Hey — what goes around, comes around.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You love good wine, good food, good sex and a nice place to live, and you might come close to fulfilling your dreams. This is a strong day for you because the moon is in your fellow earth sign. Enjoy socializing with others. Sports and fun activities with kids will please.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

It’s the perfect day to relax at home and play things low-key. You might be involved with a female family member more than usual. Your ability to be charming and diplomatic will be timely. Take note: this is a good week to buy wardrobe items for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Enjoy time with a friend, as well as interacting with groups and organizations. What you do now might make a difference because your ambition is strong and you’re prepared to speak up for what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

With the sun at the top of your chart now, you look wonderful to others. In fact, they see you as super- competent and capable. You’re thinking about your values and what really matters. The Dalai Lama said, “The purpose of life is to be happy.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The moon is in your sign, which makes you a tad more emotional than usual. However, it will also slightly increase your good luck over all other signs. Oh yes. You might even test this by asking the universe for a favour. Why not?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be patient with others because fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which can make you feel irritated with others. (Probably they’re annoying.) Fortunately, you are the epitome of diplomacy, which is getting what you want while everyone keeps smiling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Remember that you need more sleep this week. Don’t be down on yourself if you sleep late. Fortunately, both Mercury and Mars are spurring you to work and accomplish what you want. It’s a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone to get their feedback. Try it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Once again people notice you more than usual; and yes, some will know personal details about your private life. Fortunately, relations with those who are close to you are cosy and supportive. Look for ways to feel happy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do something different. As this week begins, you’re eager for a bit of adventure and stimulation. Travel or a chance to see new places and meet new faces will please you. (You might do this in your own neighbourhood or city, or from afar.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home and family are your focus right now. You’re keen to socialize, and romance is encouraging. Short trips and chances to learn new things and talk to new people will inspire you. The moon will steer you to details related to shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, because the moon is opposite your sign. You’ll find this easy to do, especially with family members, because relationships are warm and supportive. Respect your moneymaking ideas.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Sally Hawkins (1976) shares your birthday. You are reflective, thoughtful and sensitive. You’re also self-reliant and independent. Exciting changes will bring you increased personal freedom this year. Stay flexible. Let go of things that have held you back. Seek out new opportunities. Expect to travel.
