Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and important decisions from 10 a.m. until noon. The moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Pull in your reins a bit and simply choose routine work. In other words, don’t push things. Nevertheless, your powers of insight and persuasion in conversations with others will be considerable. Focus on finances in the next several weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The sun enters your sign where it will stay for the next four weeks. This happens once annually and it gives you an opportunity to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You have strong opinions about money matters and your possessions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The moon is in your sign dancing with Pluto, which makes you intense, passionate and certainly obsessed about something. Regardless of how you feel, you will make little headway dealing with friends and groups. Keep things to yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The next four weeks will be a more popular time for you. In particular, you will enjoy hanging out with creative, artistic people. This is also a lovely window for you to set future goals. Don’t push your luck dealing with parents and bosses.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The sun moves to the top of your chart where it will stay for four weeks, symbolically casting you in a flattering spotlight. (This happens only once a year.) People will admire you even if you don’t do anything special. Obviously, you can use this to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you make a big deal about something or insist on getting your way, others will notice. Be patient about shared property and financial matters. The next four weeks promise opportunities to travel and broaden your horizons.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects because you might be coming on too strong. Don’t push your luck, especially in dealing with partners, spouses and close friends. Your concern about finances or resources held jointly (like with a spouse or a business partner) will increase in the next several weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will need more sleep in the next four weeks. Be aware of this and respect your need for more rest. Confine yourself to simpler tasks and routine work. Don’t attempt ambitious projects. You might feel concerned about shared property, debt and taxes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be accommodating — it’s no biggie. For the next four weeks, you will find it easy to work hard and be more productive — which is a major bonus. Avoid competitive activities and sports. Take it easy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Lucky you. You’re entering a lovely four-week window that is more playful and fun-loving. Romance, fun diversions, vacations, sporting events and rewarding activities with kids will be your theme. Take it easy at home. Do the bare minimum.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home and family will be your primary focus for the next four weeks. Many of you might be more involved than usual with a parent. Redecorating projects will appeal along with entertaining. Keep things lighthearted. Be agreeable. Avoid coercing others to agree with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because suddenly you have places to go, things to do and people to see. Avoid opinionated arguments with family members. Think twice before spending money. Know what you’re doing.
