ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Be patient this morning, because people are short-tempered, including you. Your day will work best if you decide to cooperate with others and even go more than halfway. (Why not?) Then it will be a win-win for everyone. Tonight: Cooperate.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Parents need to be patient with kids this morning. Remember that how a day begins can affect the whole day. You might see ways to improve your health and your job, or discover better ways of doing something. Yay! Tonight: Work.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
This morning you might feel angry with a family member. It’s brief, but it’s there. Keep the peace, because emotional outbursts won’t help you today. Instead, plan social outings and fun times with kids. Look for ways to express your creativity! Tonight: Socialize!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Hold your tongue this morning to avoid arguments, which will upset everyone, including you. Instead, focus on making where you live more attractive. Create a quiet moment for yourself. Take a brief walk. Have a private cup of coffee. Give yourself this small gift. Tonight: Cocoon.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
You might be annoyed about financial matters or a poor purchase this morning. Let it go. Instead, focus on creative ways to improve your immediate surroundings. Talk to someone today. Spit-balling your ideas could lead to clever results. Tonight: Discussions.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
As this day begins, both the Sun and the Moon are in your sign, which might make you more emotional. Don’t bark at someone. Take it easy. Instead, look for new uses for something you own, a way to make money on the side or a new job. Tonight: Check your belongings.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
People are touchy this morning, so tread carefully. For most of this day, the Moon is in your sign, making you more emotional than usual. However, when this happens (for two and a half days each month) it improves your luck! Ask the universe for a favor. Tonight: You win!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Be patient with others this morning, because essentially, with the Sun in your House of Friendships right now, you’re enjoying the emotional support of warm exchanges with others, especially with groups. Dismiss whatever is irksome as temporary. Enjoy some privacy today. Tonight: Solitude.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Resist the urge to say something you might later regret when talking to bosses, parents or the police today. Zip thy lip. Later in the day, a friend might encourage you to pursue a goal or inspire you to do something. (You never know where your next bright idea will pop up.) Tonight: Friendships.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Avoid controversial subjects this morning, because they could become emotionally heated. In fact, for most of this day, you are high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Be smart and use this to your advantage. Instead, focus on how to improve your job or your health — this is doable! Tonight: You’re admired.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
Don’t get your belly in a rash this morning about arguments over shared property or shared responsibilities. Move on. Do something different today to shake up your routine. This is what will please you most. Talk to new people. Go someplace different. Look for little “adventures” to lift your spirits. Tonight: Explore!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Ignore irritations with others this morning. These are brief. Actually, this can be a productive day for you! You might sort out red-tape issues about shared property, taxes and debt. You also have a growing desire to play, socialize and enjoy sports. Focus on pleasure. Tonight: Check your finances.
