Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 6:15 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a good day for you, especially if you work in the arts, the entertainment world, sports or education. However, it’s also a playful, fun-loving day. It’s Friday and you can choose your own adventure. Enjoy socializing. Meet the gang for happy hour.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Play things low-key, because you are best served by working alone or behind the scenes. You might prefer to relax at home. A competition with a friend from your past or perhaps a member of a group might occur. Your faith in yourself will win the day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is an energetic, fast-paced day. It’s also a popular day. You might be involved more than usual with creative, artistic people. (In fact, a friendship could turn romantic.) You’re pumped with energy and ambition to boost your salary.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Keep in mind you make a great impression on others right now because the sun is high in your chart symbolically casting you in a flattering spotlight. This means it’s easy to impress others, especially authority figures. Explore opportunities in publishing, medicine, the law, higher education and the media.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is in your sign, which does two things: it can make you more emotional than usual, and it can also slightly increase your good luck. This means this is the day for you to ask for favours or permission. Try it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

With fiery Mars opposite your sign now (along with Mercury retrograde), you might find your closest relationships to be a tad challenging. Partners and close friends seem aggressive. If so, consider this an opportunity to practise patience — which is a virtue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Remember you need more sleep right now because the sun (your source of energy) is as far away from your sign as it can get all year. (We’re not talking 93 million miles. We’re talking five inches on your chart.) Share your hopes and dreams for the future with a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re high-viz, which means some people know personal details about your private life. This is important for you to know because you are someone who values your privacy. It’s a productive day and you can get a lot done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do something different. Break free of your routine. Go someplace different. (If you can travel — great.) Give yourself a pleasant break that feels socially rewarding. A long lunch. Coffee with a friend. Treat yourself to a little adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Home, family and your private life are your main focus now. Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt, insurance issues or inheritances might arise. This is a good time to wrap up old business and to work to make your home nicer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be prepared to accommodate others. The reason you have to do this is because the moon is opposite your sign and that’s how it works. But hey — two weeks from now, others will have to accommodate you. That’s also how it works.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do your best to stay on track because with Mercury retrograde in your sign, mistakes, delays and equipment breakdowns are likely. Mars in your sign urges you to be fast and sassy. Whoa. A dangerous combo. Be aware of what’s going on.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer-songwriter Stacy (Fergie) Ferguson (1975) shares your birthday. You appear laid-back but you’re determined, incisive and fired up by social ideals. You are intellectually curious. This is a year of work and construction to create solid foundations. Simplicity will be key. Take charge of your health. Exercise will be important. Explore martial arts or yoga. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
