ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
This might be a challenging day dealing with co-workers, customers and issues related to your job. Likewise, with respect to your health, you might have problems with your teeth or aching joints. No fun! Fortunately, your communication skills are excellent. Tonight: Work.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Dealing with children might be a challenge today. You might have increased responsibilities with them or demanding issues. Likewise, romance might be difficult. In fact, most social situations will feel awkward or stiff because it’s hard to go with the flow today. Tonight: Relax.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★
Be patient with family members today, especially authority figures or older family members. In fact, this is a challenging day talking to anyone who is older, more experienced or in a position of influence. Don’t ask for permission or approval. Wait for another day. Tonight: Cocoon.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Today it’s easy to fall into worry mode, which is something I do myself. But worry is primarily a habit. And remember what Mark Twain said, “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” Admittedly, today is a bit of a dour day. It happens. Tonight: Discussions.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Money worries might be a problem today. You might feel a financial squeeze, as so many of us do. You might be concerned about payments or covering some particular costs. Perhaps the hoped-for help from another source is disappointing. Tonight: Check your possessions.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with stern Saturn. This can make you feel lonely, isolated and cut off from others. In fact, you might send out signals unconsciously to people that you want to be left alone. (A misunderstanding.) Don’t worry; this, too, shall pass. It’s a fleeting influence. Tonight: You’re strong.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You are the most sociable sign in the zodiac, and today will be a challenging day for you because you feel a bit isolated and cut off from others. You might not be aware that you are subconsciously contributing to this situation. Nevertheless, if you can learn something new, this will please you. Tonight: Privacy.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
A friend might disappoint you today. This can happen, no question. It doesn’t mean you have to end the friendship. Or perhaps you’re disappointed with a member of a group and because of this you feel unappreciated or ignored. It’s easy for this kind of misunderstanding to occur today. Tonight: Friendships.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Relations with parents and authority figures are dicey today. No matter what you do to try to please someone, their response will be, “Talk to the hand.” Wait until tomorrow afternoon or later to ask for permission or approval, because today is a difficult day. Timing is everything. Tonight: Show respect.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Steer clear of controversial topics, because conversations will be challenging today. Likewise, if you reach out to people from other cultures or different countries, you might feel misunderstood or that you’re getting the cold shoulder. The fact is, communications are difficult today. It is what it is. Tonight: Explore.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
This is a poor day for important discussions about how to divide or share something, perhaps an inheritance or something to do with jointly-held property. Even discussions about taxes, debt and credit will be challenging. Postpone these for another day. Tonight: Check your finances.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Relations with those who are close to you might be difficult today. You might subconsciously send out signals to others declaring that you don’t want to be bothered. They might assume you want to be left alone. Meanwhile, you feel that you’re being ignored! Things look worse than they are today. Tonight: Listen.
