Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 7 p.m. until 9:55 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a poor day for an important family discussion because your feelings will affect what you say — especially your logic. This is not to say your feelings don’t count, but if you’re discussing how to do something or how to address an issue, your feelings might cloud what’s important.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully when talking to siblings, relatives and neighbours because you might be over-excited about an idea and say something you later regret. There’s no doubt you’re eager to communicate — and forcefully with fiery Mars in your sign. Think before you speak.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be careful how you spend your money because you might be tempted go overboard shelling out on fun outings, entertaining diversions, your kids, sporting events or gifts. This is because it’s easy for you to get carried away in the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are a sensitive person — and you know this. (This is why you can be moody.) Both the sun and Mercury are in your sign; however, Mercury is at odds with the moon, which fuzzies your logic because your analytical abilities are flooded with feelings. A poor day for important decisions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

With Mars high in your chart, your ambition is aroused. However, right now it’s in your best interests to think twice before you rally your forces or demand something. Fortunately, Venus will soften your approach and make you charming and diplomatic. Go gently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be circumspect in discussions with friends, groups and organizations because others might see you as too emotionally invested in what you’re saying. Ironically, with the sun in your house of friendships right now, you have sway with groups. Be careful and be precise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might talk to a boss, parent, police or someone in authority. It’s important to know what you say might be weakened — in their eyes — because you’re speaking from your feelings rather than logic. (You might have to censor yourself.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid controversial topics because you might become so involved that your feelings overwhelm your rational intellect. Nevertheless, you have a strong need to communicate to others. Bottom line: steer clear of controversy because you might be in a state of flux.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be cautious talking to friends and groups, especially in discussions about fundraising, joint costs and shared property because your feelings might cloud your clear thinking. Postpone important discussions for another day if possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

People notice you. In fact, some will know personal details about your private life. Think twice before you say anything because you might be more emotional than usual, which will cause you to share something you might later regret. Forewarned is forearmed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want to travel or get a change of scenery. You might also be dealing with foreign countries, work-related travel or people from other cultures. Think before you speak, because your emotions might get you in trouble. Slow down and be clear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might get involved in a discussion about shared costs relating to your kids, the price of a vacation or entertaining event or something to do with the arts. Whatever the case, this is a poor day to discuss money because your feelings are wrapped up with your ideas.
