Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Caution. Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 1:15 p.m. until 10 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You have lots of mental energy because the moon is in your sign dancing with your ruler fiery Mars, which pushes you into a leadership role. It makes you feel independent and ready to challenge anyone who challenges you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Focus your energy on home and family. You might be best served by working alone or behind the scenes because you’re keen to work hard to boost your earnings. This is also a gentle, social day that is sweet for romance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Sports and competitive physical activities might appeal to you, especially with friends, teams and groups. At a less-energetic level, you’re also keen to talk to others and share your ideas. Short trips and a chance to learn something new will intrigue.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You’re noticed. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Ironically, you might be a bit bossy because you want your way with some things. Because of this, you will stand up to bosses and others who challenge you. (Remember courtesy.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You can explore new ideas, meet new people and learn new things. Politics and controversial subjects might also appeal. Because most of this day is a moon alert, don’t volunteer for anything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be caught up in discussions about shared property, wealth, inheritances, taxes and debt. If so, this is a poor day to agree to anything important. (Check moon alert above.) Get your information. Do your homework. Wait until tomorrow to act.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might attract someone to you who is feisty and a bit aggressive, but interesting. See what they have to say because it might be enlightening in some way. Nevertheless, because most of this day is a moon alert (see above), do not agree to anything important.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and work. This is why you might delegate to others and be a bit bossy. Keep in mind most of this day is a moon alert, so stick with the schedule. Wait until tomorrow to launch into something new. (You’ll be glad you did.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a playful, competitive day. If you’re interested in team sports or physical athletics, get out and do your thing because you’re revved up and ready for action. Be smart and be patient with spouses, partners and close friends to keep the peace.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be understanding and gracious with family members to avoid conflict. Nevertheless, you want to make some improvements around your place. You might see the need for repairs along with ways to fortify where you live for future security.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’ll defend your ideas and explain what you want because your communication style is energized by Mars. This makes you want to initiate things and take charge. Be aware that most of this day is a moon alert. Cool your jets.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might be tempted to spend money — quickly and rashly. This is not a good idea. Restrict your spending to food and gas during the moon alert. Be smart.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Former actress Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex (1981), shares your birthday. You’re strong-willed, intelligent and dynamic. You’re also independent, influential and a seeker of knowledge. This year is about creating solid foundations in your life — both external and internal. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise is important. Explore martial arts or yoga. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
