The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
**** Today you want adventure and stimulation! Something interesting! You might also make practical plans related to the law, medicine, higher education or publishing. Yet, you feel playful, even though relations with someone close to you might be strained.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
*** Even though relations with coworkers might be cool today, discussions about finances, money, debt and how to cover expenses at home will go well. You feel secure in practical ways even though, everything isn't perfect. But then, when is it ever?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
*** This is an excellent day to talk to others. Someone older or wiser might have something to contribute. (Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you?) Meanwhile, romance, as well as relations with kids, might be strained. Tender patience is key.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
*** It might be in your best interests to listen to the advice of parents, bosses, teachers or the police because it could benefit you. In fact, it might benefit your job as well as your earnings now or in the future. Admittedly, relations with a family member or parent might be strained.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
**** Social outings and time spent with kids, as well as romantic get-togethers can be enjoyable. You might learn something valuable and helpful. Don't let a conversation with someone older ruin your day or shake your confidence in yourself. This is your day.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Although you might have financial worries today or feel pinched in the money department (join the club - we number millions); nevertheless, family relations are warm. In fact, you might be encouraged by the offer of help, in practical or monetary terms, that can come your way.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
**** Today is a mixed bag. You'll enjoy talking to others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours. Groups will be supportive. However, you might feel disappointed or unloved in a close relationship - a partner or marriage. This might be the culmination of something that started 14 years ago.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
*** This is an excellent day for financial decisions and discussions with bosses and authority figures about your job, and even your health. Someone behind the scenes might be critical. "You can't please everyone - and you can't make everyone like you."-- Katie Couric.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with your ruler lucky Jupiter, as well as stern Saturn. In a curious way, this boosts your confidence, while at the same time makes you cautious and practical. Don't worry if things are strained with a friend or a member of a group. It happens.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Because relations with a parent, boss or someone in authority might be strained today, your impulse might be to pull back and hide somewhere - preferably with some food that's a wonderful guilty pleasure. I think this is a good idea. If it's raining outside - seek shelter.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
**** Friendships are warm and supportive today. Some are upbeat and jubilant; others are steady, practical and beneficial. Enjoy making plans and goals with someone today. Unfortunately, romance with someone "different" or far away might be discouraging. (This might be temporary.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
*** Many issues related to your job and your work are rewarding right now. In fact, many of you are in a new job or feeling fulfilment from your work, which is a wonderful thing. This is also apparent to others as well. Nevertheless, funds from a different source might be disappointing. It is what it is.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Carrie-Anne Moss (1967) shares your birthday today. You're resourceful, pragmatic and imaginative. You are also realistic and driven to achieve your goals. This is the perfect year to kick back and relax. Enjoy socializing and relating to others. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit! Old friends might reappear to rekindle relationships.
