ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Keep your eye on your possessions today to avoid loss, theft or damage, because something unexpected could impact your money or your possessions. Definitely, things are loosey-goosey and confusing. Therefore, be mindful. Keep your eyes open. Don’t fall for any snake oil stories. Tonight: Be aware.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which is why you feel restless, even impulsive. You might suddenly do something different or go off in a new direction. Unfortunately, issues are not entirely clear, so be careful. Guard against knee-jerk reactions to avoid later regrets. Tonight: You’re strong.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
You might feel restless today because unexpected energy is taking place at a subconscious level for you. This is why you might feel at loose ends and not know what to do. Or you might keep changing your mind. When talking to bosses and parents, make sure you know what they expect from you. Be clear. Tonight: Solitude.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
A friend might surprise you today. In fact, you might be surprised by a member of a group. This could be because there is some confusion involved. They might not meet your expectations, or vice versa. Misunderstandings also might relate to news in the media, politics or religion. It’s a tricky day! Tonight: Friendships.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Be careful dealing with authority figures today (including parents and the police), because an element of confusion could send things in the wrong direction. People are too quick to act or too quick to make assumptions. Stop and give everything a sober second thought before you do anything. Tonight: You’re noticed.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Travel plans might suddenly change today. However, in all likelihood, they will change because of some kind of confusion or indecision. (Yes, it’s maddening.) However, issues are not clear today; furthermore, people keep changing their minds. Stay steady. Tonight: Explore!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Keep an eye on your banking and finances, and property that you share with others, because something unpredictable might impact these areas today. Don’t be caught snoozing. An element of surprise definitely exists today that can impact you financially or with your assets. Tonight: Stay sharp.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
A spouse, partner or close friend will do something that catches you off guard today. You might be surprised or perplexed because there might be an element of confusion, possibly even deceit. Therefore, tread carefully. Keep your eyes open. Tonight: Cooperate.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Be careful today, because with Mars in your sign, you’re more aggressive than usual. (You might not realize this.) Meanwhile, unexpected events related to your job, your health or a pet might create confusion or something upsetting. It’s important to know what is actually going on before you react. Tonight: Work.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Parents should be extra vigilant today, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids, especially with poisons or bad food. Social events might be canceled.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Confusion and turmoil might take place at home today or within the family. Small appliances or computer glitches could be a problem.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Transportation delays are likely today. Likewise, confused communications can lead to misunderstandings related to travel, short trips or something to do with errands and appointments. This is also an accident-prone day, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Tonight: Listen carefully.
