Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: After 10 a.m. today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Libra.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be accommodating and gracious because conversations might be testy and confrontational as well as confusing. Tread carefully!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Despite family discussions, home repairs and a strong emphasis on your domestic world (including parents), you’re focused on your work, health and perhaps a pet. Unfortunately, there seems to be some kind of confusion that can trigger tension. Patience is your best friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a dicey day for romance, fun socializing, sports and playful activities with kids, because confused communications are likely. Plus, you might not have the energy to follow through on your plans. Furthermore, disputes about money and possessions might arise. Go gently.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Family disputes, especially with female relatives, are likely. Unfortunately, miscommunication and false expectations might contribute to this. Assume nothing. Don’t be pushy; and yet, don’t give up. Keep in mind that many people do not grasp how sensitive your feelings are. (It is what it is, and you have to live with it.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is the classic day for tension in communications with your everyday contacts — siblings, relatives and neighbours. This could be due to confusion. Misdirection. Misunderstandings. Possibly deceit. Be aware that someone behind the scenes might be working against your best interests. (Yikes!)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful spending money and with any financial wheeling and dealing, because you might not have all the facts, or you might be confused or misled. Therefore, double-check everything. Avoid misunderstandings with friends and groups. (You don’t need this.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a tricky day. In one way, you have the advantage, because the moon is in your sign. However, fiery Mars and Neptune are at odds with the moon creating conflict with authority figures and confused communication with partners and close friends. Yes, a tricky day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues, because there’s too much confusion and misunderstanding. Fuzzy Neptune is in the picture, which is like Vaseline on your lens. You’re not seeing clearly. Meanwhile, Mars can create irritability.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might want to enjoy time with a friend or a group. You might even spitball some ideas you have about your future goals? Be aware that friction with someone over shared property, joint costs or romantic confusion are impossible to avoid.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from an authority figure, because the answer will probably be, “Talk to the hand.” Meanwhile, be aware you are high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Guard against a public argument with a spouse or friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Communications are confused, which is why this is a poor day for important discussions on controversial subjects. Political arguments are classic examples, especially if they relate to your work. Health-related issues might also be confusing. Step carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might be involved in social outings including sporting events, fun activities with kids or romantic dates. If so, be patient, because misunderstandings and confused communications are par for the course. These are relatively minor influences. Don’t let them ruin a meaningful relationship. Be patient. Be tolerant.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor, director Ben Affleck (1972) shares your birthday. You’re tenacious, inspirational and influential. You formulate farsighted strategies with logic and practical organizational skills. This is a year of service for you, perhaps to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource for those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage.
