ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Because your ability to research any subject and dig for answers or solutions to problems is excellent today, you won’t regret setting aside some time to ferret out the information that you need, especially information that is practical and helpful. Roll up your sleeves and get down to it. Tonight: Work.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★
A discussion with a friend or a member of a group might be serious today. You might even feel that someone is asking too much of you.

GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
When dealing with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs today, you will realize that you have to fulfil your duties and responsibilities. (You can run, but you can’t hide.) Others have their expectations about what you should do, and you have to comply. (Actually, in the long run, you’ll feel rewarded.) Tonight: Cocoon.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
This is an excellent day to study and learn. You have the concentration and perseverance to do what must be done. You also might have to suck it up and decide to deal with legal or medical matters. Whatever the case, you have to follow rules and regulations today. ‘Nuff said. Tonight: Conversations.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
If you need to deal with red-tape matters concerning insurance issues, shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances, you’ve got what it takes.

VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today your relations with partners and close friends will be serious; however, they will address practical matters like shared expenses or the division of labor. Boundaries always exist, and it’s good to know where they are. (You can’t kid yourself today.) Tonight: You win!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You will get a lot done today because you’re in the mood to work and apply yourself with diligence and perseverance. Sometimes you have to go by the rules, and today is one of those days. If a partner or friend offers to help you, say yes. Tonight: Enjoy solitude.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Children might be an increased responsibility today. Whatever happens, you will handle it. Meanwhile, because you have a dedicated focus, you can make headway when working in the arts or practicing a skill. This applies to sports as well. Tonight: Friendships.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
Family discussions are serious and practical today. A parent or someone older might ask you to pick up the slack and give things your best shot. Because it takes the effort of everyone involved to make a home run smoothly, these tasks must be shared. Tonight: You’re admired.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Resist falling into worry mode today. If you can’t do something about what worries you, then worry is a waste of energy. If you can do something about what worries you, then stop worrying and do it. Don’t be caught in the paralysis of the negative. Tonight: Explore!
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
You’re warm and friendly today, and you’re happy to learn new things. With financial matters (including shopping), you’ll be conservative today, which is why you will buy long-lasting, practical items. (An ostrich boa is not on your list.) Tonight: Check your finances.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Your approach to things today is serious. You’ll be pleased to get organized and do some planning even though you might feel low-energy. Focus on your own efforts to organize your surroundings and don’t dictate to others. Tonight: Just do it.
