The stars rate your day: ★★★★★ Dynamic; ★★★★ Positive; ★★★ Average; ★★ So-so; ★ Difficult.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
★★★ It's important to know you're high visibility. People notice you more than usual; and some know personal details about your private life. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. A partner or close friend might have helpful input.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
★★★★ Today you want more out of life! You need to push the boundaries. Obviously, if you can travel somewhere new, this will satisfy your desire for change. However, if you can't travel, you can still be a tourist in your own neighborhood. Shake things up a little!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
★★★★ Even though this is a playful time, you're working hard. Focus on banking details and matters related to shared property, inheritances, insurance and shared responsibilities. Coworkers are supportive. Enjoy the company of younger people.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
★★ Today you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This means you have to compromise with someone, perhaps a partner or close friend. This is no big deal; but be aware that this is the operative energy today.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ You might have to put the considerations of someone else before your own today because an element of service is present: Service to family, service to community - whatever. You might also focus on a pet or your health today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★ Today you need to be yourself — who you really are. This is why you might project yourself more emotionally than usual. Some might not like this. Too bad. You might also feel protective or nurturing to others, especially children.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★ This is a good day to retire by yourself to your own private place. You need time to relax and ponder your navel and think about life. You might also have a significant family discussion with a female relative. It's a good time to be aware of your habits.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ Today your communications with others are important. You feel that you have something to say and you hope someone will listen and understand your words. You don't want to waste time in superficial chitchat about the weather. You want to be heard. Group discussions will also appeal.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★ It's easy to identify with your possessions today because you have the feeling that you are what you own. You might also feel attached to something that you own and not want to lend it to anyone or let them use it. This is not an ideal frame of mind for you to shop or spend money on expensive items.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★ The moon is in your sign, which makes you feel subjective and highly emotional. Be careful about having a knee-jerk reaction to something that someone says. However, when the Moon is in your sign, which occurs for 2 1/2 days every month — your luck improves! Bonus!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your privacy matters to you. In fact, you're tempted to withdraw from the busyness of everything around you and seek some solitude in beautiful surroundings. (Naturally, with good food and drink.) You might also want to explore some kind of mystical or spiritual discipline that interests you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Time spent with a friend will be meaningful and important to you. In fact, someone might say something that touches you or makes you feel that you're having a deeper bond with them — something meaningful. This is why you might feel protective and caring.
If your birthday is today
Supermodel Bella Hadid (1996) shares your birthday. You are sincere. Order and harmony are important you, and you work hard at your career. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which is why it's time to let go of people, places and things from the past that have held you back.
