The Stars Rate Your Day
★★★★★ Dynamic; ★★★★ Positive; ★★★ Average; ★★ So-so; ★ Difficult.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
★★★ Today is a mixed bag. Conversations with partners or close friends might be upsetting. You might feel guilt tripped or manipulated by someone. Or none of these things might happen because there is also another influence promoting feelings of goodwill and harmony with everyone. Yay!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
★★ Be patient with coworkers. Likewise, be patient if you’re dealing with pets or talking to people about a pet, because things could get nasty. Keep in mind that people notice you today — you’re high visibility. Work-related travel is positive. You feel healthy and optimistic!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
★★★ Travel plans might suddenly change. Ditto for plans related to higher education, medicine and legal matters. Conversations with kids might be challenging. Why not take a step back and give the situation more breathing room? Positive energy is there.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Even though there might be some friction with your kids as well as some romantic spats; nevertheless, this is a positive day to entertain at home. Invite friends and family over. Group meetings at home for other reasons might also occur. Check out real estate possibilities.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★ Be patient in discussions with family members. Listen to what others say. Don’t be pushy with your own demands. The fact is, there is a lot of optimistic, positive energy if you choose to focus on that instead. Don’t get caught up in petty differences.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ This is an excellent day for financial dealings. You might see ways to boost your money, or you might check out the possibilities of a better-paying job. Ignore petty squabbles with siblings and relatives, because these are temporary. Pet owners should be vigilant.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ Parents should be extra vigilant because this can be an accident-prone day for your kids. Likewise, social plans might suddenly change. Sports can also be accident-prone. Fortunately, travel plans are promising along with opportunities to learn from others.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★ Today Mercury enters your sign, which can make you talkative and eager to persuade others to agree with your point of view. Because your ruler Pluto is in the picture, you might get a tad pushy. Lighten up! This is a good day for discussions about shared property and responsibilities.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ Your daily routine might be interrupted today because this is a mildly accident-prone day. So, pay attention to what you do. On the upside, you might have some clever ideas? Research will go well. Schmoozing with groups and friends will be positive.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could occur. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, you make a fabulous impression on the world today!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★ This is a good day to make travel plans or, indeed, to actually travel if you can. Financial squabbles or power struggles might occur in the morning. Instead, focus on socializing with kids, sports events and fun diversions. Relations with authority figures are positive.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ You might feel restless and at loose ends today. Fortunately, after the moon moves into your sign, things will settle down. In fact, life will tend to go your way! Stock the fridge because you might have company today. Real estate opportunities exist.
