ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
This is a tricky day because the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to be cooperative. You have to go more than halfway when dealing with someone. However, in addition, the Moon also opposes fuzzy Neptune in your sign, which can create confusion, delusion and deceit. (Yikes.) Tonight: Lively discussions.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Be smart and double-check work related to your job today. Also double-check information related to your health or a pet, because confusion combined with wishful thinking might create problems. If you trust your information, this can be a productive day. Can you trust what you hear? Tonight: Improvements to your health and job.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
Romance might disappoint you today. If so, ask yourself if your expectations were realistic. For that matter, did you express your expectations? Meanwhile, parents should be vigilant with young children to avoid accidents related to poison or harmful liquids. Tonight: Socialize!
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Conversations with family members, especially parents, might be confused today. Each party doesn’t really understand what the other one is saying. Confusion is likely. Misunderstandings are rampant. Furthermore, deceit is also likely. Therefore, be careful! Strive for clarity in your communications with everyone. Tonight: Entertain.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
This is the classic day for miscommunications and misunderstandings in conversations with siblings, relatives and daily contacts. Most likely, this confusion is innocent. But it’s possible that deceit is in the picture. So, if you think something fishy is going on, it is! Tonight: Vibrant discussions.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Be cautious about financial negotiations today. Likewise, be careful about shopping as well. Keep your receipts. This is because an element of confusion or dishonesty could be present in your financial transactions. Make no assumptions. Make sure everything is above board and transparent. Tonight: Check your belongings.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
It’s a tricky day! Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you an advantage over the other signs. This is good. However, the Moon in your sign is also opposing fuzzy Neptune, which can create misunderstandings. You might feel someone unfairly criticizes you or has hurt you. Tonight: You’re strong!
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Today you might feel discouraged, inferior or guilty for no reason! This is because today’s astrological influences can stir up subconscious fears and moods. You might feel mistrustful. Note: Because there is confusion going on, it’s wise not to take things at face value. Tonight: Seek solitude.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Confusion and misunderstandings are likely today when dealing with friends, as well as romantic partners and your kids. Even social arrangements are subject to mixed-up communications. Don’t take things personally. Your disappointment could be caused by other things. Tonight: Friends.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
This is a poor day to put your cards on the table and make important decisions with bosses, parents and authority figures. Don’t do it; you might not have the right information. Others might have misled you either by accident or with intent. Things are not as they appear. Take it easy. Be careful. Tonight: You’re admired.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Avoid arguments about politics, religion or racial issues today. Too much confusion is in the air. People are misinformed. People might believe things that aren’t true. This is because false assumptions, confusion and even deceit are everywhere. Tread carefully. Tonight: Explore!
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
This is a poor day to act on important information about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or anything that you own jointly with someone else. You might not have all the facts. Or perhaps some of the facts that you have are wrong. Assume nothing. Postpone these decisions for another day. Tonight: Check your finances.
