Moon alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you might be forced to account for yourself, especially in financial matters, loans, credit cards, inheritances or shared property. There might be disputes with others or challenges of accountability. Tread carefully, and don’t jump to conclusions. Easy does it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is the classic day for power struggles with partners, close friends or authority figures. Someone might feel the need to defend their position — or worse yet, make accusations about you. Whatever the case, do not wake the sleeping giant. Tread carefully, and check your bank account.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Issues related to your job or your health might encounter further aggravations because of the breakdown of equipment. Some kind of mechanical failure might create frustrations. Be smart, and steer clear of controversial topics that will be argumentative.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Romantic relationships might be stressed today. Postpone important discussions. (“Not tonight, Josephine.”) Parents will have to be patient with their kids to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Don’t challenge your kids or make accusations. Go gently today. Cut others some slack.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Family disputes might arise today, or you might be dealing with plumbing problems or issues related to garbage, recycling or mechanical things breaking down where you live. Parents should be extra vigilant to avoid accidents related to their kids. Don’t force issues today. Be patient and understanding, and keep your eyes and ears open at all times.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be patient when dealing with family members today, especially parents. Meanwhile, you might have to let go of old patterns in your behavior, especially in your daily habits, because the old ways of doing things no longer work. The only constant is change.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Meanwhile, power struggles about money or possessions might arise today. These could relate to the breakdown of something or the fact that something’s not working. Stay chill.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Issues might make you feel forced to account for yourself today. You might feel pressure from external forces or even pressure from within. Whatever the case, you feel you have to make some changes. Maybe you feel the satisfaction of having survived a challenge.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might feel excited about something today. However, you might also act destructively or be impulsive. With this view in mind, try to think before you act. Admittedly, some kind of power struggle might challenge your way of doing things. It’s very likely this means a change is necessary.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Be patient with friends and members of groups to avoid disputes and power struggles, which are likely today. However, some of you might also feel a sense of satisfaction at surviving a challenge. (“We did it!”) You can count on the support of someone, especially someone in authority.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Expect challenges dealing with parents, bosses, teachers, the police and any form of authority today because you might encounter a naked power play. Be wise, and do whatever is most supportive for the situation. Don’t make things worse. In fact, look for ways to make them better because this is your style.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Dealing with authority figures might be disruptive today. If possible, steer clear of bosses, parents and the police because something unexpected might catch you off guard. In addition, try to avoid challenges with others about politics, religion and other controversial issues. This is a dicey day. Tread carefully!
