ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Intense feelings about financial matters or your possessions might arise today. In fact, some of you might get into an argument because not only are feelings intense, there is also a sense of feeling territorial about things. “This is mine. And so is that!” Tonight: Patience.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with big daddy Pluto, which can make you feel obsessed about something. This means you might be the victim of compulsive behavior and sudden urges, which could confuse others. Step back. Give the situation a bit more breathing room. Tonight: Take a break.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Today you feel privately obsessed about something. You might not share your ideas with others; nevertheless, you personally feel them. There is something you want to do or achieve, and you intend to succeed in doing it. Make sure you don’t cut your nose off to spite your face. Tonight: Strong feelings.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
You might lock horns with a friend or a member of a group today. You each insist on a certain path or doing things a certain way. This might even apply to dealing with a group, which means you disagree with the strategy of someone else. Wait a day or two to see what happens. Tonight: Lie low.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Avoid a public argument with someone today, especially a partner or close friend, because you might end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) Because people are entrenched in their views today, this might not be the time to engage. It’s wise to pick and choose your fights. Tonight: Stay calm.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Heated arguments about politics, religion or racial issues might take place today. People have intense feelings about these matters. Of course, these are important matters, that goes without saying. But today is a poor day to take a stand. Tonight: Relax.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Postpone important discussions about inheritances, shared property or how to divide or share something, because today people are obsessed about getting their way. They are not open to reason or compromise. Timing is everything. Tonight: Be smart.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Avoid arguments with spouses, partners and close friends today, because they will accomplish little. This is because people are obsessed and entrenched in their views today, which is also why arguments will easily arise. But what will this accomplish? Tonight: Stay neutral.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Someone (and this person could be you) might want to introduce reforms and better ways of doing things at work. Or possibly you want to introduce better ways of doing something to improve your health. Nevertheless, because you (or someone else) are adamant, you might end up in a stalemate. Tonight: Take a breather.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★

Avoid disagreements with your kids today. Table these discussions. Today will encourage hissy fits and meltdowns because people are rigid and intense about what they want. Choose another time for these discussions when reason will prevail. Tonight: Postpone important discussions.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Discussions about home repairs, changes at home or something going on within the family (including discussions with parents) will be difficult today because everyone is so opinionated! In fact, someone might be obsessed about something. This is hardly the time for reaching a consensus. Just wait. Tonight: Be patient.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
You might try to persuade someone to agree with you today, or you might attract someone to you who is powerful and just as convincing. Either way, discussions with others will be difficult because people are obsessed about what they want to achieve. Postpone these talks for another day. Tonight: Protect your belongings.
