You are a modest

person. You are

determined,

hardworking and

independent. Your friendly,

appealing quality attracts

others to you. This year is

the first year of a fresh, new

nine-year cycle for you. Be

courageous. Be ready to open

any door!

Moon Alert: There are no

restrictions to shopping or

important decisions today

until 12 a.m. The Moon is in

Sagittarius.

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

Today you might feel vaguely

discouraged or irritable. It’s

a feeling that is hard to pin

down. What’s happening is

your ruler Mars is lined up with

fuzzy Neptune, which makes

you feel like your feet are stuck

in mud.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

You might feel discouraged or

confused about the direction

that you should take with a

friend or perhaps with a group

with which you are involved.

You had high hopes and

expectations, but now things

seem fuzzy and your plans are

unclear.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

Whereas before you were

gung-ho about setting off in

a new direction, now you feel

unprepared. Be wise. Pause for

a moment and re-group. Don’t

press forward blindly, hoping

for the best. It’s important to

take the time to regain your

focus and confidence before

you act or commit to anything.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

Don’t fall for false rumors,

false news or false

propaganda, which will

proliferate today. With Mercury

retrograde taking place in your

12th House, you can research

your own truth about things.

Don’t believe everything you

hear, especially in social

media. Be smart.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

You might feel discouraged

today about something relating

to shared property. Perhaps

you are disappointed in your

share of something. You

also might be disappointed

because someone told you

something that is not true.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

Someone close to you might

disappoint you today. This

happens in all friendships and

partnerships. One frequent

reason it happens is because

of unexpressed expectations.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

Something related to your job

or perhaps your health might

be worrisome to you today.

Ironically, in the very area

where you were feeling upbeat

and successful, now you have

doubts.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

This is a tough day for

romance, because things

are not only confusing and

disappointing, there also might

be an aspect of deceit lurking.

You’re not sure if someone is

telling you the truth.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

This is a poor time for an

important family discussion,

because clarity and consensus

will be difficult. In fact, things

are mushy and confusing.

Redecorating projects or

renovations are stalled in the

water.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).

Today you question your right

to speak up, which is why

you might remain silent. It’s

ironic, because recently you

were confident and ready to

tell it like it is. Don’t worry; this

simply means you need to get

your facts straight.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

This is a poor time to make

important financial decisions

because you don’t have all the

facts. Furthermore, the facts

you do have might be wrong.

Someone might be deceiving

you.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Today your energy level

might be low, which is why

you should not push yourself

too hard. It will be easy to

physically exhaust yourself,

so be careful. Guard against

infections and food poisoning.
