Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9:30 p.m. today. The moon is in Capricorn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a disconcerting day because family discussions will be confusing and out of touch with reality. Ironically, you’re keen to converse and talk about your concerns. Don’t agree to anything important; don’t withhold information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might be tempted to keep secrets in the mistaken belief this is the best course. It isn’t. It will only contribute to the fog of confusion and lack of clarity that surrounds you. Avoid misrepresentation or distortion of the truth because it is not in your best interest to mislead others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day for financial negotiations and money decisions. You might not have all the facts. Or the facts you have might be incorrect because you could be the victim of misrepresentation. Postpone decisions, including major purchases, for another day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Mercury is in your sign at odds with fuzzy Neptune, which will contribute to confusion. Communications with others might be hopelessly misunderstood. Your ideas might never even reach their intended goal. Go with the flow. Postpone important decisions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be tempted to withhold information because you think it’s the best thing to do. Actually, it is not good to do this because it will only add to the confusion. Be open and honest, and admit to others if you are unsure about something. This is not the day to bluff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A friend or member of a group might tell you something you want to believe, because it’s a pie-in-the-sky solution or an intriguing temptation. If something looks too good to be true, it definitely is. Don’t fall for it. Question everything you hear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tread carefully when talking to parents, bosses and people in authority, because what you say might not be true. Or it might be misunderstood or misconstrued. Perhaps you don’t have the right facts, or you have been deceived? You will know by the end of the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is not the day to pitch your ideas to someone, teach a new concept to somebody, or embrace a new philosophy or political ideology. If you express these ideas, you might lose credibility with others because something is “off.” It doesn’t ring true. Very likely, it won’t hold up to scrutiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a poor day for financial discussions or agreements pertaining to wills, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. You might be misinformed. You might not have all the facts. Whatever the case, do not sign important papers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be subject to misunderstandings. For some reason, a distortion of the truth is highly likely, and it may or may not be innocent. Be forgiving, but don’t believe everything you hear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a challenging day at work because you might have the wrong information and waste time on a fruitless task. Someone might purposely deceive you or they may innocently misinform you. Or perhaps you misunderstood? Whatever the case, agree to nothing important.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s easy to fall for a “great idea” or think something is too good to believe. Do what you can to keep all your communications and thinking clear when dealing with others. If you get the feeling something fishy is going on, it is!
