Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 2:15 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your verbal skills are great, however, parents need to cut their kids some slack as power struggles might arise. Romance can also suffer from ego conflicts and issues related to power and control. Tread carefully.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your well-meaning intentions might backfire on you when dealing with parents and authority figures. Perhaps you’re coming on a little too strong. You have definite ideas about decorating. You might also want to entertain at home. (Lighten up.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Steer clear of conflict with others, especially about controversial subjects such as politics, religion and racial issues because they could turn into nasty arguments. The sun is in your sign and you’re powerful right now. Finances favour you. Be careful talking to others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Try to avoid power struggles over money and financial control because these issues might arise. If it’s not about money or how to spend, it could be down to a specific possession of yours. Fortunately, with Venus in your sign, you’ll be tactful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is lined up with fair Venus making you eager to get out and socialize. In fact, you want to party. The problem is, at the same time the moon is opposite Pluto, which means you might butt heads with partners, spouses and close friends over social plans. Tread carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

People admire you. Furthermore, your relations with friends and groups are warm and smooth. Nevertheless, an undercurrent might put you at odds with someone related to your work, your pet or even your health. Patience is your best friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like to get along with others because you like harmony in your surroundings. Initially, you will feel warmhearted to a friend; however, a difference of opinion could lead to a clash (perhaps with your kids) that could be nasty. Use your diplomatic skills to steer through this day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Power struggles with authority figures — parents, bosses, teachers and the police — might arise. You might also find yourself at odds with spouses, partners or close friends. (That covers quite a population.) Travel and do something different.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Power struggles with family members, parents and bosses might create challenges for you. Fortunately, you have the energy to work and get things done. If relations are challenging, then pivot and channel your energy into working for results that will please you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It might be tough to avoid money squabbles. Initially, you have specific ideas about spending. (In fact, funds might come to you.) Unfortunately, some challenges will arise. Venus opposite your sign will save the day because you are charming with everyone right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You have no choice other than to co-operate with others to keep the peace and achieve what you want to do. If you can avoid power struggles and instead choose a playful outlet — socializing with friends, sports or fun activities with kids — you’ll be happier.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Struggles related to your health, parents and work might be a challenge. Instead, play hooky and escape with some fun socializing. Sporting events, fun activities with kids and romantic adventures will appeal. You might also choose to relax at home.
