The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Be patient with work colleagues today. Likewise, be patient dealing with your pet or someone involved with your health. This is because your ruler Mars is lined up with the Moon, which can make you easily irritable. (Patience is the antidote to anger.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today you have lots of drive and energy, especially for sports events, physical athletics, competitions and fun outings. Artists will be productive and energetic. (Parents must be patient with their kids; but that goes with the territory.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** It's easy to feel annoyed with family members today, especially because increased activity and chaos on the home front are challenging right now. Nevertheless, whatever is happening is temporary. Order will be restored eventually. Stay chill.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** The upside of this day is that you're forceful, direct and convincing in all your communications with others. (This can be useful.) The downside of this day is that you might be pushy, irritated and annoyed with someone - and they'll know it. Oops. Patience is the key.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Resist the urge to go overboard financially today by picking up the tab, being generous, or being aggressive in financial dealings. This is because today, the Moon is lined up with fiery Mars in your Money House. Guard against impulsive ideas and actions. Give everything a sober, second thought.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with Mars, which admittedly can make you inclined to fly off the handle or overreact. However, it can also give you initiative and the courage to be brave, if called upon, because today you have the will and strength to act.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Today is a bit tricky because you might find yourself being your own worst enemy. (This is because you feel vaguely irritable, which might cause you to create the wrong impression, or undermine your position when dealing with someone.) Be aware of these small but self-defeating acts.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** You make a fabulous impression on others now; furthermore, you're keen to travel and expand your world in some way. Nevertheless, you might be a tad aggressive when dealing with friends and members of groups today. In fact, you might be demanding. (Stay cool to maintain your great image.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Your ambition is aroused today, which means you're determined to achieve your goals whether they're big or insignificant. Be careful that you aren't ruthless in your effort to accomplish what you want to do; especially because you're high viz. and others are watching you today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** Avoid controversial discussions with others because you might be tempted to jump on your soapbox and convince someone to agree with you. You have strong opinions today and you intend to share them. Hey, relax. Instead, enjoy warm exchanges with someone close to you. Seek common ground.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Be patient with others today when discussing shared resources, shared responsibilities or how to divide an inheritance - something like that. You might be annoyed with others and the claims that they make. Or you might be impatient with the entire process? Stay chill. Be cooperative.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** One influence exists today makes you want to work hard and work efficiently. Another influence will promote fun outings and romantic moments with a loved one. However, another influence might make you impatient with partners and close friends. Don't let this last one define your day.
