TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)

GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
This is a tricky day. After the Moon moves into your sign, you will have the advantage over all the other signs. Nevertheless, steer clear of disputes and arguments about politics, religion and racial issues. They could get nasty. Tread carefully. Tonight: You win!
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★
Be as diplomatic as you can to achieve what you want when dealing with issues about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or insurance claims, because this is the classic day for confrontations of ego. Don’t let things escalate into intense situations. They could get nasty. Tonight: Enjoy privacy.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Patience and diplomacy are your best friends today, because partners and others who might be close to you might oppose you, creating a Mexican standoff. This is the classic day for ego battles and power struggles. Don’t let things escalate to a threatening level. Be cool. Tonight: Friendships.

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★
Parents must be patient when dealing with their kids today because power struggles could get out of hand, which is not what you want.

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Today Mars and Pluto are lined up in your sign, which means you have an opportunity to accomplish a great deal or to wreak havoc. Think of the moment when Uncle Ben tells Spider-Man, “Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.” Today you have great power. Tonight: Socialize and play.
