ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Today is a mixed bag. Conversations with partners or close friends might be upsetting. You might feel guilt tripped or manipulated by someone. Or none of these things might happen, because there is also another influence promoting feelings of goodwill and harmony with everyone. Yay! Tonight: Socialize. This Week: Thursday’s Full Moon is in Aries. Patience.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
Be patient with co-workers and issues with pets today. Keep in mind that people notice you today — you’re high-viz. Work-related travel is positive. You feel healthy and optimistic! Tonight: Work. This Week: You’ll have a productive week if you cooperate.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Travel plans might change today. Ditto for plans related to higher education, medicine and legal matters. Conversations with kids might be challenging. Take a step back and give the situation more breathing room. Tonight: Play! This Week: Be patient with friends and groups. Socialize!

CANCER

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

Redecorating and entertaining.

VIRGO

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Today Mercury enters your sign, which can make you talkative and eager to convince others to agree with you. Because your ruler Pluto is in the picture, you might get a tad pushy. Lighten up! Tonight: Privacy. This Week: Be low-key. Travel. Be patient with co-workers.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
This is a good day to make travel plans or, indeed, to actually travel. Financial squabbles or power struggles might occur in the morning. Instead, focus on socializing with kids, sports events and fun diversions. Relations with authority figures are positive. Tonight: Explore! This Week: Avoid accidents (verbal and physical). Work hard, party hard.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
You might feel restless and at loose ends today. Fortunately, after the Moon moves into your sign, things will settle down. In fact, life will tend to go your way!
