The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
*** Today you can go one of two ways. Because you are noticed by others, especially authority figures (in fact, some people know personal details about your private life), you might impress people. You might shine in their eyes. Alternatively, you might be at odds with a boss. (Oops.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
**** Travel and a chance to do anything different will please you today because you need a change of scenery. You want stimulation, adventure and a chance to learn something new! Step outside your comfort zone. Meet people who are different. In fact, romance with someone unusual might begin.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
*** There are five planets in one of your Money Houses today. (That's a handful.) You can't ignore taking care of loose details about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and bills. Don't procrastinate. Roll up your sleeves and dig in!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
*** "It's all about that base." Actually, today is all about work! Whether it's your job, or a task that you set for yourself, you're prepared to be hands-on because you have energy and perseverance to follow through on whatever you do. Encouragement from someone else is likely, especially a coworker.

If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Renee Felice Smith (1985 will) shares your birthday today. You are a sensitive person with a razor-sharp analytical mind. You miss very little. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it's time to let go of people, places and things from the past that might have held you back.
