ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Today it’s easy to emotionally identify with your possessions, which is why you might be less willing to part with something or lend it to someone. You also might feel that you have to defend yourself about something when there is really nothing at stake. Tonight: You’re admired.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
Today the Moon is in your sign, which will heighten your emotions. It will also create a greater need in you to belong or to relate to friends and loved ones today. The good news is that it tends to make you a little luckier than everybody else. Ask the universe for a favor. Tonight: Romance!

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
This is a random day on the calendar. You don’t have to go out and paint the town red. It’s all right to stay home and hunker down. The reason I say this is because you don’t really feel much like socializing today. That’s quite all right. Relax. Tonight: Passion!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
A number of people are making a lot of demands on your time right now. You’re busy with partners and close friends, as well as groups, clubs and organizations. A female colleague might figure prominently in your plans today. Is this a time for a frank discussion? Tonight: Strong attraction.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★
For two days every month, the Moon is at the top of your chart, bringing your focus to professional and business concerns. It calls attention to you. In fact, some people will be aware of personal details about your private life. Do you need to do some damage control? Tonight: Don’t overindulge.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
Today you have an urge for a change of scenery. You want a chance to do something different that’s adventurous and exciting! Tread carefully, because several other things might create some difficulties. Don’t be too ambitious. Just take baby steps today. Tonight: Socialize!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
The placement of the Moon today will draw your attention to financial matters, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Family discussions about old business, especially about property or home repairs, are likely. Go gently, because people will be defensive. (It is what it is.) Tonight: Entertain.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
For two days every month, the Moon will sit opposite your sign. When this occurs, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. You have to be cooperative and ready to compromise. Today is one of those days. (No biggie.) Tonight: Conversations.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Today you have to put your own emotional considerations second to the demands of someone else. You might have to work for someone or perform a service for them. Nevertheless, this can be a gratifying experience. When we show kindness to others, we like ourselves more. Tonight: Feeling wealthy.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
Romance might be more meaningful for you today because the Moon is sitting in the part of your chart that has domain over romance, fun, social occasions and all things creative. You also might be involved with children more than usual today. (You might feel overprotective.) Tonight: Be friendly.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Today you will enjoy the luxury of retiring to someplace so that you can feel private and enjoy your own solitude. It’s the perfect time to go off by yourself and do a little navel gazing. You might see how strongly your habits control your life. Tonight: Enjoy solitude.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
When talking to others today, you want a real connection with them. That’s why you will feel frustrated if the conversation is superficial. You want to get down to the nitty-gritty of something and share it with someone — real feelings. Tonight: Creative discussions.
