Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 8 a.m. until noon today. After that, the moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Hang in there, because as this day progresses, it becomes more lighthearted and fun-loving. Admittedly, power struggles with a friend or member of a group might squelch things. Be patient with kids. Basically, this is a friendly and productive day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Home and family are your focus, and you will be wise to avoid power struggles with parents and older family members. Instead, seek out supportive, gentle interactions with others, and all will be well. Enjoy the company of children. Enjoy socializing. You’re in the mood to teach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Home and family are a strong focus for you. Family discussions and household repairs will take place. Be very clear in all your communications with others. Note: don’t be demanding. Take a gentle approach. (You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The secret to this day is to surround yourself with kind, gentle and supportive people. Avoid ego battles about money and possessions because you won’t like it. (However, with Mars in your sign you can take care of yourself.) Seek out people you like! Entertain at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

After the moon moves into your sign, things will tend to go your way if you align yourself with friendly, caring people. Avoid power struggles with partners, spouses and close friends, because you don’t need this angst. Discussions about money, cash flow and earnings are on the table.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Protect yourself by avoiding emotional vampires and people who bring you down. You don’t need this, especially now. On the other hand, you have a strong need to talk to someone so you can share your ideas. Find a sympathetic ear. (It’s out there.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The day is a mixed bag when it comes to dealing with friends, as well as members of groups and organizations. You might bump into power-hungry people who are too aggressive and off-putting. Or you might be lucky enough to find agreeable, sympathetic friends. That’s your best choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of power struggles with parents, bosses and authority figures, which could arise. (This might not happen, but the possibility exists.) Ironically, a boss or an authority figure might be sympathetic to you at work or over issues related to your health or a pet. (Go figure.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a terrible day to get involved in controversial discussions about politics, religion or racial issues. Don’t do it. Instead, explore romantic connections, playful times with kids, socializing and the arts. Let your imagination soar!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Tread carefully with financial discussions or talks about mortgages, loans and shared property, because you could reach an impasse with someone. However, a family member might be helpful if you are sensitive and receptive. That choice is a no-brainer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be your own best friend and surround yourself with people who are friendly and supportive. Avoid people who are difficult — it’s that simple. Explore ideas that require imagination and a sympathetic resonance with your surroundings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work-related issues, as well as anything to do with your health or a pet could be challenging. However, if you choose to be with generous, thoughtful people — it will be a whole different story. It’s all about who you surround yourself with. Be discerning.
