Daily Horoscope for Friday, March 17, 2006

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping in making important decisions from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. EST today. After that time, the Moon in Libra changes to Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Someone kind of heavy-duty might make you doubt yourself today. Yes, even an Aries can be frightened by someone or fall under the paralysis of the negative. (But not often.) Don't let others coerce you to agree with their theories. Phffft!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Negotiations with others about shared property or shared responsibilities might get pushy. It might be a friend or a group you're dealing with. Resist the temptation to proselytize and convince others to your point of view.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

. This is not the day to go toe to toe with your boss or any authority figure in your life. (Bad Day at Black Rock.) Power struggles can easily take place today. Not a pretty picture. And Darth Vader is in the picture - aaiiyyy! ("Step aside -- a lotta men didn't and a lotta men died.")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Either you or somebody else has strong views about how to make improvements where you work and perhaps to your health. Someone has strong views about political and religious matters. In the last analysis, it's all a bit too pushy. A suggestion is one thing but a loyalty oath?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid power plays about shared property or responsibilities with others. It could get messy. You don't need messy. You don't like messy. You like fun and good times. This is not to imply you're superficial, because you're not. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a classic day for horrible disagreements with partners and close friends. Forewarned is forearmed. Just don't get involved. Slip out the back Jack. If you have something important to discuss, wait until Monday.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're excited about potential improvements you can make at work. (Actually, you're on such an improvement kick you're on a new diet and a new exercise regime.) This is good! There's always a better way to do anything. Nevertheless, be diplomatic with coworkers when you present your ideas.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with children and romantic interests are both areas that can suffer today if you lose your cool. Don't be heavy-handed. Don't be pushy. It's easy for people to think they know best today. Even if they do -- nobody wants to hear about it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

If you're trying to get out to see the St. Patrick's Day parade (you love pageantry) allow time to fix broken appliances or something that will be on the fritz at home. Let's hope it's not a plugged toilet. Bummer! Be patient with family members.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You're keen to influence, persuade, sell, market and convince others about something today. Your target audience is daily contacts, siblings, neighbours and relatives. There's nothing wrong with this unless you become obsessed with your ideas. (Not cool.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might have to let go of ways of making money and consider something new. You can't hold on to methods and ideas just because that's the way they were always done. It's a changing world! Who knows this better than you? (After all, you're the one who was born 50 years ahead of your time.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your very being and expression of who you are is being tested today. You could be forced to make radical changes. Somebody might demand that you account for yourself. (Sound like they're on a power trip.) This is also such a bore isn't it? Especially when their face is two inches from yours. (Gulp.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Rob Lowe (1964) shares your birthday. You have a gentle soul, and it shows. You're expressive in a sensitive way. You totally averse yourself in whatever you do. (You're passionate!) You love new territory. You hate to be pinned down or captive in any situation. You like to be socially involved. An exciting year awaits you -- full of new, fresh opportunities and open doors.
