Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

As this day wears on, it gets better and you become more powerful. Don’t be discouraged initially if you feel shot down, criticized or diminished. By the end of the day, you are mighty. Look for ways to make improvements in your immediate surroundings and even your appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Two separate influences are at play. In one way, this is a popular time for you and you’ll enjoy hanging out with younger, creative people. However, a different influence can make you want to hide and be low-key. It’s your call.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

An older friend might create confusion for you. Perhaps you don’t know how to take what they’re saying. Fortunately, later in the day, you will be clear about what you want and don’t want; furthermore, you will make things happen.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Tread carefully because your conversations with bosses, parents and authority figures are subject to confusion. But later in the day, you will speak up. It’s also important to know you’re high-viz, which means people notice you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects and issues related to politics, religion and racial matters because these could become depressing, as well as confusing. Nevertheless, late in the day, you will feel compelled to speak up and encourage change for the better if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you have the choice, postpone important financial decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt for another day, because there’s an element of confusion — even resentment. When it comes to money, you want to have a clear, calm mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although this is a wonderful, productive time for you, and you can get a lot done, this day has a few drawbacks when talking to partners, spouses and close friends because misunderstandings might occur. You might feel criticized. By the end of the day, you will speak your piece.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Mostly, you want to socialize and play. You might also want to address increased chaos and activity taking place at home so you can restore order. However, when it comes to your job, health or even your pet, discussions might be confused — even restrictive. Patience is key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Romance is challenging, along with the arts and anything to do with your kids. You might feel increased restrictions or responsibilities. You might also feel an element of confusion and be unsure what’s happening. Therefore, tread carefully. Keep your eyes open.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions with parents and older relatives might be discouraging. They might also be misleading or confusing. This is why by the end of the day you will speak up to clarify things and try to improve the situation. It will all work out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t fall into the paralysis of the negative by worrying about something. Admittedly, someone older might be critical or discouraging. You will have your chance to reply, perhaps later. With fiery Mars in your sign, you’re not taking a backseat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial matters might disappoint. Double-check everything because you might not have the correct facts, or you could even be misled by someone. With Mercury and Venus in your sign, you will be diplomatic in how you explore this matter.
