Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. EDT today.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Parents must be patient with children. Lovers must be patient with each other. In fact, you must be patient with everyone today because your ruler Mars is square Mercury the planet of communications, which happens to be retrograde right now. People are touchy and irritable!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is the classic day for domestic disputes. At the very least, you'll probably burn toast. Keep in mind that Mars is in your sign now, and this makes you more aggressive. Mercury retrograde is frustrating your attempts to make repairs at home and get better organized. Capice?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today your ruler Mercury is square fiery Mars. This means you're kinda aggressive with others; or others are coming on aggressively to you. Oy vay. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. This kind of irritation can produce accident-prone situations. Be careful.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Don't be pushy about money matters today. Don't be demanding. Don't be impulsive. And don't spend money without thinking (something you rarely do.) You feel a bit territorial about something you own. You don't want others messing around with your stuff. That's okay.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Fiery Mars is at the top of your chart squaring Mercury in your sign. Time to get outta Dodge. All your dealings with others (especially bosses, VIPs and parents) will be challenging today. This planetary set up will bring on debates or fights! Your peace of mind matters much more.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is the classic day for big debates about politics, religion and the merits of ginkgo biloba. (When you get old, you have to take ginkgo to find your Viagra.) The problem is you identify strongly with your opinions today. That's okay; but you don't have to make others agree with you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Debates with friends or groups are likely today. The word debate is the polite expression for today's planetary influence. People are downright defensive today! This puts them on the attack. While you like to debate, you don't like fighting. Oh no. Time to lie in the weeds.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Make a firm resolution not to quarrel with parents and authority figures today. It's just not worth it. You have to learn when to pick your fights. This is a lousy day to try to prove anything to anyone. Therefore, tread lightly. Treat someone to a friendly coffee.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
As the philosopher of the zodiac, you're constantly amazed at the idiocy of the human race. You can't understand how others fail to grasp the obvious. But what is obvious to you is not obvious to others. (Obviously.) Therefore, don't get your belly in a rash. Quit preaching.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Differences about shared property, wills and inheritances might come to a head today. This is not a good day for these discussions. Consensus will not be easily reached. People are contentious, irritable and looking for a fight. Do you need this? (I thought so.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're trying to do so much at home right now, your nerves are frazzled. This gives you a very low threshold when dealing with partners and family members. Don't lose your temper today. Avoid arguments. Anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You can't push a watermelon through a keyhole. (Not unless you're in childbirth.) Quit trying to achieve the impossible today. Don't coerce others to do things your way, especially at work. You're on a bit of a rant. It's not a pretty picture. Cool your jets.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Director Alfred Hitchcock (1899) shares your birthday. Challenges seem to galvanize you into action. You rise to every occasion. In addition to this, you're courageous, and never shrink from danger. Your idealism often places you in the role of the rebel. You will fight for the underdog. The year ahead is full of exciting, fresh beginnings! (You'll love this.)
