ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

Because you’re high-viz today, people notice you more than usual. (Be aware of this in case you have to do some corrections or damage control.) In fact, some people will know personal details about your private life. Meanwhile, social plans appeal to you. Party on! Tonight: Communicate.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
Give yourself permission to goof off a little today and do something different. You need some adventure and stimulation! Ideally, you would love to travel somewhere you have never been before.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Your focus on money, finances, taxes, debt and inheritances has been stronger than usual lately. Today is no different. Double-check details related to banking. Likewise, double-check how things are going in any transactions where you share or divide something. (You’re looking good.) Tonight: Be grateful.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which happens for two and a half days every month. When this occurs, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. That’s how it works. However, this is no biggie. Be cooperative, accommodating and friendly. Tonight: Solitude.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s Friday. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to get better organized, because then you will love yourself for it later. Your efforts to get better organized might apply to doing something to improve your health as well. It might even apply to dealing with pets. Tonight: Friendships.

You make a wonderful impression on others now, plus this is a popular time for you. This is why you’re enjoying socializing with everyone. Nevertheless, even though it’s Friday, you might want to cocoon at home and keep a low profile. It’s your choice. Tonight: Explore!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
Get out and talk to others and see new places. You’re curious and energetic to explore. This same energy will encourage you to learn new things. Sign up for a course. You’ll enjoy short trips and conversations with daily contacts, neighbors and siblings. Tonight: Check your finances.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Financial issues have your interest right now. This could be because you are angling for a raise or a better paying job. Or perhaps you’re pondering a particular purchase. At a more subtle level, some of you are wondering about your basic values today. And so it goes. Tonight: Relationships.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★
Make time today to see your friends. Enjoy interactions with others, especially groups. You will find this is a rewarding experience for you, as well as stimulating and comforting. It’s important to go out and see others, and also to be seen. Tonight: Relax.
