Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or major decisions from 5:30 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a challenging day because you might encounter obstacles and difficulties when dealing with someone older or perhaps an authority figure. It might even be interacting with an institution like a hospital or jail. The problem is you don’t know if you’re being told the truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

An older friend or perhaps a member of a group might stand in your way or oppose you in a group discussion. Later in the day, this might make you second-guess or doubt yourself because you’re not sure who to believe. Trust your own instincts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day to ask bosses or authority figures for permission or approval for anything because their reply will likely be, “Talk to the hand!” Ironically, new information might make you wonder if this person was being honest with you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Laws, rules, regulations and obligations might curtail your plans. You might decide to do something different because your original plan is blocked. This is sensible. However, a bit later, new information or input of some kind might make you question everything. (Weird.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a poor day to agree to important financial matters because things are not going your way; furthermore, someone might actually deceive you or set out to muddy the waters. Therefore, if you suspect something fishy is going on — it is. Trust your gut feelings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A discussion with a partner, spouse or close friend might be discouraging. This person might feel cold or emotionally negative. In fact, separations might occur. Be careful of drugs and alcohol muddying the water, which is quite likely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Issues related to your job, any work that you’re doing, your pet or your health are challenged. You might feel discouraged about something. It’s important to know things look worse than they actually are. Don’t succumb to worry. Stay positive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Children might be an increased responsibility. Furthermore, social plans might create more problems than they’re worth. A romantic relationship might end. The challenge is an element of doubt, indecision or manipulation that makes you wonder.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don’t be surprised if relations with someone close to you are strained. This might be because people are a bit depressed; plus, there’s a failure of communications. Life looks worse than it really is. Be aware of this. Nevertheless, you’re not sure who to trust. (Tough.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Issues related to with your work, health or a pet might create worry or anxiety for you. In fact, you might have to deal with a separation, which, of course is not easy. Don’t make important decisions, especially about home and family.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might feel worried about money or the loss of a possession. It’s easy to feel lonely and cut off from others. Mark Twain said most of the horrible things in his life never happened. Don’t get sucked in. On the other hand, be careful about who you trust.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t let older family members convince you to do something you don’t want to do, especially if you feel you don’t have all the facts. This is the classic day for failure of communications and misunderstandings. Be cool.
