Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
**** With fiery Mars in your sign, you have lots of energy today! Although you have a strong focus on money, earnings and cash flow; nevertheless, social outings will appeal to you. Check out sports events, movies, fun get-togethers and playful activities with kids.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Today when talking to others, you want to have a real, meaningful conversation - not just superficial chitchat. Therefore, seek out someone who is willing to have a dialogue with you. In particular, competitive sports, athletics and group activities will appeal.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
*** Today you have a tendency to identify with your possessions. You might consider buying wardrobe items because probably, you will like what you see in the mirror. You might shop for a new look that you want to assume. (Of course, Oscar Wilde said, "Be yourself - everyone else is taken.")
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
**** Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight edge over all the other signs. However, this can make you more emotional than usual. Meanwhile, you create a great impression on everyone because the Sun is casting you in a flattering spotlight. A favourable situation!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Today you're giving thought to your friendships, which is why your contact between yourself and a friend might be deeper than usual. You might even feel protective or supportive to someone. Be patient with partners and close friends because Mars opposite your sign might be testy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
*** You are high viz. today, which means people notice you more than usual. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Keep in mind that you need more sleep this week. Fortunately, fiery Mars will help you work with vigour! Go figure.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
**** You're happy to work and accomplish things today and this week. You're also open to socializing and checking out competitive sports. But today in particular, you want to do something different. You want to break free from your routine. Travel would be a nice option. If you can't travel, then be a tourist in your own city.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Andy Samberg (1978) shares your birthday today. You're farsighted, benevolent and progressive. An independent thinker, you want to improve the lives of others. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things that held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature.
