Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or important decisions from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’re a take-charge leader, and it’s the kind of day where you will demonstrate your ability to influence a group to do your bidding. These might be younger people. They might be creative types. Whatever the case, you will lead the way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your ambition is aroused, which is why you’re determined to get what you want. However, your determination is so strong, you might clash with a boss or an authority figure, or someone competing with you. Remember what your objective is and work to achieve it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a tricky day. After the moon moves into your sign (see above), you will have the advantage over all the other signs. Nevertheless, steer clear of disputes and arguments about politics, religion and racial issues because they could get nasty. Tread carefully.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be as diplomatic as you can to achieve what you want when dealing with issues such as inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance claims, because this is the classic day for confrontations of ego. Don’t let things escalate into intense situations because they could get nasty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Patience and diplomacy are your best friends because partners and others who might be close to you might oppose you, creating a Mexican standoff. This is the classic day for ego battles and power struggles. Don’t let things escalate to a threatening level. Be cool.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a restless day! Later on and tonight, you are noticed by others; in fact, some people will know personal details about your private life. You’re working hard to accomplish something, which is why this will be a productive day. (You will brook no interference.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents must be patient dealing with their kids because power struggles could get out of hand, which is not what you want. Likewise, a romantic argument might quickly escalate into something unpleasant. Sports activities might also lead to conflict — even violence. Take a breath and cool down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid dangerous neighbourhoods or people who are quick to anger in a scary way. Although unlikely, the vibes could become ruthless because Mars is lined up with Pluto, which represents an enormous burst of energy and determination to take over a situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

By nature, you are upbeat and optimistic. Remember this if you become tempted to fall prey to an inflated ego and start to boss the world around you. Avoid dangerous neighbourhoods. Avoid negative people. Take the high road — the view is better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid money squabbles or quarrels about possessions because at the least, these will frustrate you; and at the worst, they’ll become threatening. Instead, channel your energy into a task at hand, your work or how to improve your health. Seek a diversion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Mars and Pluto are lined up in your sign, which means you have an opportunity to accomplish a great deal or to wreak havoc. Think of the moment when Uncle Ben tells Peter Parker, “Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.” You have great power.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is actually an excellent day to tackle hard work and get a lot done. In fact, you will get great satisfaction out of your achievements. Watch out for aggressive, pushy people. Avoid dangerous neighbourhoods. Keep your wits about you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Mimi Rogers (1956) shares your birthday. You like to be challenged and stimulated. You’re also determined, benevolent and relaxed. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Make a point of associating with people who are kind, helpful and have your back. Concentrate on what brings you happiness, especially in relationships.
