Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully with your closest relationships (especially romantic ones) because they will be powerful and intense. A sense of insecurity might make you feel jealous. Some relationships might end or break down.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Relationships with professional partners, spouses and close friends will be challenged. This could relate to something going on with a boss or a parent. It might be about money disputes. You can’t ignore something that needs to be addressed or looked at.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your desire to introduce improvements in your work, and possibly to how you deal with your health or a pet, might bring positive results. However, allow for the possibility someone else might have helpful input. Don’t shut others out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a challenging day for parents to deal with their kids. Hissy fits and meltdowns are likely. Avoid power struggles with children, as well as with romantic partners, to avoid nastiness. This passionate, disruptive energy is gone by tomorrow — certainly by Sunday.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s tough dealing with others, especially friends and members of groups. You might feel criticized or disrespected. You might also feel cut off from others. Family relationships are also tricky. It’s time to send out for dark chocolate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid clashes with parents, bosses and authority figures, which will arise if you keep pushing an issue. Ironically, this is the kind of day where you might feel so hot under the collar you’ll make a big kerfuffle about something. Let go of your desire to have your way. Sit this one out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Avoid arguments about politics, religion and racial issues because they’ll be discouraging. Furthermore, you’ll be distracted by arguments about something you own, or perhaps over money. Don’t make a big purchase just because you feel compelled to do so. Stay chill.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your experiences when dealing with others will be intense and emotional. Discussions might be passionate in an unforgettable way. They might even lead to a real breakdown in a relationship, especially if there is jealousy smouldering or a sense of resentment. Change is needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Basically, you’re upbeat and positive. Try not to get caught in the emotional tangles of relationships because they will only bring you down. Having said that, disputes, especially with a family member or a partner, might be unavoidable. Take the high ground if you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You value your good reputation. Keep this in mind before you butt heads with a friend or member of a group about an issue important to you both. Is it worth losing a friendship? Someone older or in a position of authority might discourage you at work or about a health-related situation. Stay strong.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Interactions with authority figures are challenging, especially if they’re about politics or your personal freedom. Although you want stability in this relationship, change is necessary. There’s no good in pretending change is not happening — because it is. Meanwhile, romance is difficult. Be patient with children.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Conversations with family members, especially parents and older relatives, might be challenging. Someone might be critical of you. This could relate to passionate ideas about politics or religion, which many people may express. To keep the peace, you might have to agree to disagree.
