ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Be patient when dealing with friends and members of groups, because the energy today could provoke disputes. This same energy can also create problems with romantic partners and your relationships with your kids. Remember: Patience is the antidote to anger. Tonight: Seek privacy.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
This is not the day to ask for permission or approval from an authority figure – a parent, boss, teacher, VIP or the police. If you do, very likely their response will be, “Talk to the hand!” You also might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career. Tonight: You’re popular.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Because this is an accident-prone day for your sign, be patient and mindful. Think before you act or speak. Mercury retrograde will attract people from your past along with transportation delays and mixed-up communications. (You’re already dealing with enough. Take it easy.) Tonight: You’re admired.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
It’s frustrating when payments and financial negotiations are running overtime or falling through the cracks. Mercury retrograde can create these problems right now. However, something might come to a head today, which lets you see solutions to these delays. Think positive. Tonight: Explore!

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
The Full Moon today is opposite your sign, which is why you will feel tension when dealing with partners, spouses or close friends. No doubt, you’ll come on pretty strong because fiery Mars is in your House of Communications. Go gently – for your own happiness, as well as the happiness of others. Tonight: Check your finances.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Frustrations related to your health, a pet or your job might erupt today. However, generally, change does not come about by a single event, but rather by a build-up of a series of things. Talk to a friend today; they will be helpful. They might even have a creative solution. Tonight: Cooperate.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Your relations with romantic partners or your kids might be challenged by the energy of today’s Full Moon. And with fiery Mars in your chart, which will make you more aggressive than usual, you might be forced to do a yoga move by pulling your foot out of your mouth. Tonight: Get organized.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Family relationships, as well as relations with authority figures, might be stressed today because of the Full Moon. Switch your focus to possible travel plans, future vacations or fun getaways in the next several months. This is likely for your sign. Go with what works. Tonight: Socialize.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
The energy today will create a mildly accident-prone day for you, both verbally and physically. Therefore, be aware and be mindful to avoid doing something you will regret later – like a knee-jerk reaction. (And we know how bluntly honest you can be.) Tonight: Relax.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Certain financial issues, especially about inheritances or shared property, might require agreement or acceptance. Fortunately, with Venus opposite your sign now, relations with others are very smooth. And with Mars at the top of your chart, you’re in charge. Tonight: Informative discussions.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Today the Full Moon is in your sign, which is why you feel some erratic energy building up within you, and then being released. This merry-go-round of emotions can be challenging for relations with those who are closest to you – spouses, partners and close friends. Know this. Tonight: Check your possessions.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Issues related to work, a pet or your health might create some concerns for you today. Today’s Full Moon could trigger tension in these areas. Fortunately, you can explore opportunities for fun socializing, good times with kids and romance! Yay! Tonight: You win!
