The Stars Rate Your Day: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a playful day with lots of energy for sports. However, be careful about anger and getting caught up in a power struggle with a friend or a group or a team. It's your choice. Instead, you can strategize and be sympathetic with someone.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A clash of egos with parents and authority figures is classic today. In fact, family disputes will be tough to avoid. Nevertheless, there are other lovely influences at play for you today that encourage warm socializing and behind-the-scenes planning. What's it going to be?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Avoid getting caught up in squabbles with siblings, relatives and daily contacts today, which frankly are just power struggles. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Instead, your sympathy and assistance to an older friend will give you a more rewarding experience.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Money squabbles are hard to avoid today especially if you're dealing with a friend or a member of a group or a team. Don't take the bait if someone challenges you or makes a nasty retort. Fortunately, with Venus and Jupiter in your sign, you're pretty mellow right now. Demonstrate grace under pressure.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with both Pluto and Mars. Not good. You might find yourself at odds with parents, bosses, authority figures and the police. Even partners and spouses will challenge you. Go with what works. Seek sympathy and companionship with a friend.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
With the Sun at the top of your chart now, you make a fabulous impression on others. Why blow it by getting caught up in controversial arguments, power struggles at work, or something to do with your health or a pet? Whatever the case, don't get involved. Take the high road (the view is better).
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Parents will have to be patient with their kids today. Likewise, romantic partners have to be patient with each other to avoid arguments about expenses, shared possessions, friends and social occasions. Fortunately, relations with parents and authority figures are strong.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Avoid controversy and arguments with parents and bosses today. Likewise, avoid disputes with partners, spouses and close friends because this will ruin your day. Instead, change your plans. Do something different. Get outside and explore something new. This is a temporary dark cloud on your horizon.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is challenging in that you might encounter arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbours. You might even feel challenged at work because of disputes or angry energy. Avoid this. Go with what works. Spouses, partners and close friends are supportive.
