ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Keep an eye on your money and possessions today, because things are unpredictable. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard what you own against loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might have an original, moneymaking idea. Who knows? Tonight: New plans.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
Today the Sun is in your sign lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, which means your actions might surprise others. The overall mood of today will be electric, exciting and different. Plans will change. You might feel rebellious. Pay attention to what you say and do to avoid accidents. Tonight: Learn and study.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Today you feel restless. Something might happen that shakes up your daily routine. Or someone might change their plans and you might find this annoying. One thing is certain, nothing is reliable today, because last-minute changes, accidents and new directions are taking place. Tonight: Check your finances.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
You might meet someone unusual today, or someone you know might surprise you. You also might be involved in a group or an organization that suddenly changes plans, directions or adopts a new mandate. This is because today is full of sudden changes and unpredictable events. Oy! Tonight: Cooperate with someone.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Tread carefully when dealing with authority figures today. They might do something that surprises you. In turn, you might not like it, or you might feel rebellious about a new decision coming down the pipe. Your boss might suddenly be fired. It could be anything. Tonight: Get organized.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
Travel plans might suddenly change today. Likewise, issues related to legal or medical matters also might change – perhaps an appointment or an event. Anything to do with school and higher education is also subject to a last-minute detour. Stay flexible today! Tonight: Creative productivity.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Make friends with your bank account today, because sudden changes to your assets, your bank accounts or anything to do with agreements about shared property could occur today. Something you thought was stable might be wobbly. You might receive a windfall, or the opposite. (Yikes.) Tonight: Listen to advice.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
Use your diplomatic skills to deal with partners, spouses and close friends today, because this is a fast-changing landscape. Agreements and plans with others might fall through or suddenly change. You might meet someone new who is different and unusual. Today is a crapshoot. (Exciting but unreliable.) Tonight: Share ideas.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Equipment breakdowns, staff shortages, delayed deliveries, computer problems and power outages are just a few things that might dog your steps today at work, or even when dealing with health issues. Stay light on your feet. Protect your pet against accidents or hazards. Tonight: Budget plans.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
Parents should be extra vigilant today, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change at the drop of a hat. You might receive an invitation, or a fun event might be canceled. Romance is completely unpredictable. Tonight: You’re practical.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected could knock on your door. (Get dressed.) Meanwhile, family arguments and emotional outbursts might take place. Stay chill. Be sensible. Do what’s best. Tonight: Research.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Think before you act. Count to three before you respond to someone. Guard against knee-jerk reactions when talking to others. New faces, new places and new ideas will energize you. Tonight: Goals.
