Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Travel, school issues or legal and medical matters might be difficult, which is why you would rather do something else. Nevertheless, duty calls. Fortunately, discussions about banking and shared property will benefit you or your home and family.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a poor day for financial discussions or to ask for a loan, because someone or something will block your way. Accept this is the tenor of the day and lower your expectations. Later in the day, relations with someone close to you are warm and helpful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day to ask authority figures for approval, favours or permission because their response will be, “Talk to the hand.” Timing is everything. Instead, be helpful and supportive with co-workers. Issues related to your health and pets are reassuring.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Tread carefully at work, because bosses and supervisors might be critical or demanding. Don’t waste time being resentful. Do what is expected of you, then carve out some time for fun because romance and playful diversions await you this evening. (A reward!)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Parents must be patient dealing with their kids, because things are challenging. Obstacles will arise. Your kids might be unhappy. Similarly, social occasions and romantic events might disappoint as well. However, tonight a complete turnabout is a pleasant reprieve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Expect little when dealing with parents and partners, because people are unyielding. If you want to ask for help or a favour — or something more — shelve this request for another day. Instead, count on your own optimism to boost your happiness late tonight. Because it will!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Can you hum the tune to The Song of the Volga Boatman? “Yo! Heave ho! Once more…” Yes, it’s that kind of day, which is why you might feel discouraged or overwhelmed. But this is temporary. The good news is a financial benefit or favour could come your way tonight. Ka-ching!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Children might be an increased responsibility. Social outings or sports endeavours might meet with difficulties and delays. A flat tire? Whatever it is, it’s no fun. Fortunately, by tonight, the moon in your sign is dancing with Jupiter. “Tra la, tra la, it is to laugh!”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re an optimist. You need to believe in a better tomorrow. Well, that’s exactly what you can believe in, because tomorrow will be better. You might feel depressed or restricted by something or someone holding you back. It might be related to parents or responsibilities to home and family. Courage!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Steer clear of arguments with others, because not only will they be pointless, they could ruin your day. (Who needs that?) Be choosy about with whom you talk, because ironically, a friend or member of a group will lift your spirits tonight! Go figure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Someone might refuse you money or help. Or they could be difficult about something you own. (You won’t be happy.) However, tonight something will make you happy, and you’ll project an image of success and affluence to everyone. (A complete turnaround.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You want to break out of a rut, but you can’t because certain barriers are holding you back. Authority figures might restrict your freedom. Something is discouraging. Nevertheless, a chance to travel or to explore social outings or fun activities with kids will delight late in the day.
