The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
**** This is a creative day for you. Because you're the artisan of the zodiac, tap into your talents and make some art or explore one of your many hobbies. However, avoid intense discussions with partners, spouses and friends. Keep things light.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
*** In your heart, you want to be helpful to a family situation or whatever is going on at home because you feel sympathetic. However, conversations with others might be too loaded with emotions - too powerful. Skate through this day by avoiding crazy moments.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
** Power struggles with romantic partners, as well as power struggles with your kids are par for the course today. Be patient and cut everyone some slack. You don't have to be right. Things don't have to go your way. Lighten up and be gentle.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
*** You're a good saver, and you're generally careful with your money. However today, confusion about your money, your earnings or even something you own might be at play, which in turn triggers family arguments about shared property and shared costs. Run for cover.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
**** Today you're in touch with your muse, which means your imagination is heightened and you might spend time daydreaming. However, you can also do some wonderful artistic work, or explore new ideas. Meanwhile, you might have sympathy for someone and do what you can to help them.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Among many things, you are the sign of service, which is why you're willing to help those in need. This quality might arise today if you discover someone who needs your help, perhaps someone behind the scenes. Unfortunately, disputes about money and possessions might also arise. Tricky.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
** Avoid power struggles with others, especially romantic partners, your kids or anyone in the hospitality industry or the entertainment world. You don't like to rock the boat. You like to keep the peace and you like to keep everyone happy. Protect your own peace of mind today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
*** Your desire to help a coworker, or to help a pet, or explore self-help care for yourself might be at odds with someone else's ideas, especially someone at home or within the family. Learn as much as you can so that you can arm yourself with information to support your ideas.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**** This is a romantic and affectionate day for many of you. You might also feel very caring towards children. Even the arts will flourish today. However, an intense encounter with a friend or a member of a group might be a bit overwhelming.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** You might convince a third-party to help you or your family today because you feel concerned. Nevertheless, conversation with a parent, boss or someone in authority might be demanding. They might want you to account for yourself. (Yikes.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
** Steer clear of controversial topics today because these could quickly become power struggles instead of rational discussions. In either case, you might still pursue your desire to help someone in need because your idealism is aroused. (You always want to save the world before bedtime.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
*** Even though disputes about shared property or how to share expenses might arise today, you will do your best to be supportive to coworkers and people who want to help you. Explore romance and playful opportunities today. Live it up!
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor, comedian, writer Groucho Marx (1890- 1977) shares your birthday today. You're gregarious, intelligent, pleasure loving and decisive. You like to inform and guide others. This is a year of building and construction. The structures you build might be internal or external. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will play an important role. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
