Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9:15 a.m. today. The moon is in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might face the fact your game face is different than what you thought it was. Or how you present yourself and relate to others is not really who you are? It’s like having a moment of truth — a reality check. (You don’t have to write home about this; it’s a private observation.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your focus is on home and family, social occasions, fun times with kids and making money. These are your priorities right now. Therefore, in a curious way, it’s a bit unusual you’re giving thought to how much attention you should pay to your spiritual values.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Something might happen that makes you question a friendship or realize you have to be more realistic about friends and groups to which you belong. There’s no point in kidding yourself, because this means you’re the only one not grasping what’s happening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

An important shift is taking place. Something might make you question your life direction or where you’re headed. Basically, you have to ask yourself if it’s realistic. After all, you’re practical. Doable is important.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Whether it’s travel plans, ideas about publishing a book or screenplay, or perhaps something related to medicine or the law, you might wonder if your goals are reasonable. Stephen Covey said, “Goals are pure fantasy unless you have a specific plan to achieve them.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It’s important to know what financial and practical support you can count on from a spouse, partner or a third party. We’re talking the nuts and bolts of a situation — the real deal. This is not the time for wishful thinking. It’s time to know what’s in the piggy bank.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

More than any other sign, you value partnerships because you’re sociable and not really a loner. If you want to count on someone important in your life, make sure your assessments are real. Pie-in-the-sky fantasies rarely live up to the challenges of the day-to-day world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re looking successful to others this year — no question. This might cloud your judgement about how you feel about your job or work you do. Fortunately, as a rule, you don’t kid yourself. Be prepared to let go of familiar fantasies about what you do — see it for what it is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are a future-oriented sign who likes to believe in a better tomorrow. You might challenge your expectations about kids, sports, romance and socializing. You might even challenge your own creative talents. It’s OK, because the result will be more realistic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have traditional values — white picket fence, 2.5 kids, the whole enchilada. Something might happen to make you question these values. You might wonder how realistic it is to subscribe to this worldview. Not everyone comes from the same cookie-cutter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re an idealist who wants to save the world before bedtime. You want to make the world a better place. Something might occur to give you a real wake-up call. You might see the limitations about what’s possible. Nevertheless, your intention and direction can continue, can’t it?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your ability to believe something affects how it manifests in your life. You might see that now, especially regarding money and personal wealth. You might see that your ideals have been self-limiting. (Join the club.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Miriam Shor (1971) shares your birthday. You’re innovative, determined and resourceful. You have a vigorous mind and clarity of purpose. This is a year of service for you, perhaps to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource to those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage.
