Daily Horoscope for Friday, February 21, 2014

Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to do business (whether $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions until 5 PM EST. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a poor day to discuss inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and how to divide things. Others are not in agreement; furthermore, someone older or in a position of authority might squelch your expectations. Table these discussions for another day. (Ya think?)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid important interactions with others today because you're not in the mood. Someone might be grouchy or critical. It's hard to get things off the ground. Just accept this. Keep your head down and your powder dry. (What can you do?)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Work might be a struggle today. You feel tired and a bit world weary. In addition, someone might be critical of travel plans or what you want to do in publishing, the media, legal matters or anything related to medicine and health. Sit this one out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Romance is in the toilet today. (Tomorrow night is a better date night.) People are in a funk and a bit disagreeable, probably because they're mildly depressed. Dealings with children might overwhelm or discourage you. Oy vey.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is not a good day to propose changes to your family dynamic or how things work at home. Someone will veto your ideas. Family members who are older or in charge are not cooperative today. In fact, conflict with someone is likely. Just be patient.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It's hard to be optimistic today. (If youare, bravo!) People might be petty and irritable. Negative thinking is rampant. All you can do is try to rise above this and not be affected by the woes and worries of others. Do something to pamper yourself. Buy a nice soap.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You probably feel broke today. (Join the club, we number millions. And we've got jackets!) Financial matters might seem discouraging. Someone might criticize how you earn money or how you spend it. This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Although the Moon is in your sign today, it is lined up with Saturn and at odds with Mercury. This means you might feel pessimistic and even argumentative with others. But basically, this is small stuff. No worries. (It's always darkest before it gets pitch black.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Recently I talked about the need for your sign to feel optimistic about your future. This is one of those test days. Everybody is a bit glum because when the Moon lines up with Saturn (as it does today) we feel timid, cautious, depressed, critical and stingy. Yikes! Time for dark chocolate.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don't be discouraged if someone older or in a position of authority rains on your parade today, especially in a group discussion. Or it could be a friend. People are inclined to feel this way today so don't take it personally. One day at a time.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures. Their response will likely be, "Talk to the hand." In other words, buzz off. Postpone these discussions for another day. Just coast and survive.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel overwhelmed with rules and regulations, especially related to religion, politics and travel. This can be a bummer. On days like this, remind yourself that you will have a great vacation this year and romance will be more promising than ever. Go figure.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Alan Rickman (1946) shares your birthday today. You are sensitive and aware of a desire to grow and evolve as a human being. You are complex. Your honesty is your saving grace because this allows you to be direct and at the same time, inspire respect from others. Your sensitivity to criticism also gives you insight into others. This year an important decision will arise for you. Choose wisely.
