Today’s horoscope

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Resist the urge to get tangled up in financial disagreements with your kids, a friend, a group or a romantic partner. (Actually, anyone who wants to get in a fight with you.) You don’t need this. Focus on social outings. Keep things light.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The moon is in your sign; however, it’s at odds with two other planets, which can encourage power struggles and disputes, especially with authority figures such as parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. Therefore, keep your head down and your powder dry.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is the classic day for an argument with relatives, siblings, neighbours or daily contacts. Or it might be road rage. Don’t go there. Save your energy. The only thing anger does is make everyone miserable. It never helps. Patience is your best friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You’re never casual about money, which is why you might end up in a dispute with a friend, group or financial institution. This tension will quickly blow over. Bide your time because timing is everything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tricky day because you are high-viz, which means people notice you. Nevertheless, you might easily find yourself at odds with authority figures, spouses, partners or close friends. Cool your jets. Think of the impression you create on your audience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects because very likely, they will escalate into a nasty confrontation. You can never change someone else’s point of view because there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. Stay calm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents might find themselves at odds with their kids. Likewise, romantic partners might also be angered. And some of you might be disappointed in a friend or group. It’s just what’s happening. It’s hump day. Cope as best you can with courtesy and patience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of confrontations with partners, spouses, family members and bosses because these clashes of egos could escalate quickly into something nasty. People never forget harsh words. You can say you’re sorry, but they remember. (Just like you do.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Interactions at work, politics, religion, racial issues, appointments and errands you’re juggling are all reasons you might be at odds with someone. But this doesn’t have to happen. You have the power of choice. Remember — optimism is a survival issue for you. Stay happy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid money squabbles if you can, especially with your kids, romantic partners and others, because this will only ruin your day. Instead, buckle down, work hard and get stuff done, because productivity always boosts your self-respect. (You know this.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Partners, spouses, close friends and family members might be at odds with you. If you enter the fray, there’s no winning. Instead, take a breath. Step back. Sit this one out. Tomorrow is a delightful, practical and productive day. Don’t get your belly in a rash for no reason.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Although you will be tempted to respond in kind if you are attacked by others — especially work colleagues or even an enemy — think of your own peace of mind. You matter. Don’t let what others say get under your skin. Ignore them.
