Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or important decisions today until 3:30 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

For much of this day, the moon is in your sign, which does give you a slight advantage. Nevertheless, it does oppose your ruler fiery Mars, encouraging conflict. (Quirky things will irritate.) Later in the day, power struggles about money or possessions might take place. (Yikes.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Tiptoe through the tulips this morning because people might be touchy. Later in the day, after the moon moves into your sign (which is an advantage), you might have sudden urges and impulses that are not in your best interests. Go softly when dealing with others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Avoid confrontations with friends and groups this morning, because this will be pointless. Nothing will be resolved, and you might make an enemy. Later in the day, avoid emotional power struggles you might later regret. Easy does it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You’re high-viz this morning, which means your irritability with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs will be obvious. Who wants egg on their face? (Ketchup helps.) Ironically, later in the afternoon, power struggles with a friend might also dog your steps. (Is there no justice?)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues this morning because arguments will almost certainly arise. Stay chill. Later in the day, you will be high-viz, which means conflicts with partners and close friends will be noticeable. Remember to look good to your public.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid squabbles about shared property, inheritances and mutual responsibilities this morning. Mixed feelings about the division of labour or shared expenses could create problems. Even later in the day, power struggles about controversial topics might take place. (Hide somewhere.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a challenging day. There’s no way to sugarcoat this. Initially, conflict with partners and close friends might arise, especially this morning. Then later in the day, you might have power struggles with your kids or a romantic partner about a social issue. Rely on your charm and diplomacy to bail you out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Arguments related to your job, a pet or your health might arise because people are grumpy. Later in the afternoon, a power struggle with someone close might also take place. Yes, this day is a minefield — but it’s an opportunity to practise patience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid romantic squabbles this morning. Likewise, be extra-patient with your kids to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Everything shifts in the afternoon, when power struggles related to your job or an opinion you hold could occur. Run for cover!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do what you can to maintain harmony at home this morning because domestic irritations might lead to arguments. (Who needs this? Not you.) Later, in the afternoon, power struggles with your kids or a romantic partner might take place. Yes, it’s a challenging day. Stay cool — and you will coast through this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might speak frankly with a “gut level” of communication — something instinctual, which could trigger an argument with someone. (Probably unintended.) Nevertheless, power struggles with a family member might also take place in the afternoon. Tread carefully!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This morning the moon is opposite fiery Mars; and in the afternoon, the moon now squares Pluto. In a nutshell: people are easily irritated and inclined to get caught up in nasty power struggles because they’re entrenched in their own views. Send out for dark chocolate.
