The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
**** Avoid disputes early morning. Later in the day, family discussions, especially about finances or something you own, will be positive, even beneficial. Mercury is technically retrograde now attracting old flames and past situations with kids into your world. It is what it is.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
***** Despite the fact that you might be at odds with an authority figure in the morning, this is a pleasant, easy-going day. Relatives might be camped out on your doorstep. Whatever the case, you're ready for fun and pleasure. Real-estate negotiations are favoured.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
**** This is a more laid-back day, which is why you'll enjoy working alone or behind the scenes. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde might trigger transportation delays, car problems, goofy mistakes and mixed-up communications. Nevertheless, with Venus in your sign, you'll be charming and diplomatic with everyone. (Gosh.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
***** This is a popular day for you! Reach out to others so that you can enjoy their company and catch up on gossip and old history. You might wrap up old financial business; however, don't spend money on cars, trucks, computers or cell phones. Wait until Aug. 26. (Mercury retrograde has arrived.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
**** Relations with friends and groups are warm and friendly today. Having said that, this morning you might find yourself at odds with a partner or authority figure. Fortunately, this is brief. (A platonic friendship might turn romantic.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Steer clear of controversial issues this morning because things could get heated. (You don't need this.) Travel plans, especially with a friend or a member of a group, sound promising. Someone from the past, perhaps behind the scenes, might promote your reputation in a positive way.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
**** Avoid money disputes in the early morning. Later in the day, interactions with someone younger, especially from the past, will be warm and friendly, and perhaps even titillating. In fact, a romance with someone different might happen. People are impressed with you, which could be handy today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
*** Avoid arguments with spouses and partners this morning. Fortunately, later in the day, discussions about travel, higher education, publishing, the media or anything to do with medicine and the law will be favourable. Old issues might be resolved. One hopes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**** Be conciliatory with coworkers this morning. Meanwhile, practical or financial help might come your way today in terms of an increased budget, or requested equipment. You might also make travel plans, or explore foreign interests with a partner or close friend. You're in the groove!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Parents -- be patient with your kids this morning. Fortunately, very soon, happy relations with partners and close friends will smooth everything over. Past issues about financial or practical support related to your job might be resolved today. Fingers crossed. It's an easy-going day.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
*** Keep the peace at home early this morning. This will be easy to do because partners and close friends are ready to socialize with you. In fact, romance is promising! This is a good day to entertain at home, or welcome a group setting for any reason. Real-estate discussions might be profitable.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
**** Avoid minor squabbles this morning. Later in the day, this is a wonderful time to socialize with others. Sports events, fun outings and playful times with children will appeal. You might also entertain at home. Many of you will have discussions about redecorating or making your home more attractive. Nice!
