The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Keep an eye on your finances and your possessions because today is a bit of a crapshoot. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, respect your moneymaking ideas. Why not run them up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today is full of surprises; in part because you're impulsive and spontaneous. You might pursue some unusual ideas with a friend or a group, especially about something idealistic or about ways to help those who are in need. You can afford to do be generous, this year.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** You feel restless and impulsive today, which is why this is an unpredictable day for you. Whatever the case, others admire you and see you as someone who is pleasing, approachable and helpful. Perhaps you're in a position to persuade the powers that be to do something meaningful?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** A friend or a member of a group might surprise you today, especially because your appreciation of beauty is aroused along with your idealism. Meanwhile, look for ways to travel because you would dearly love to do this - perhaps with a female friend. Explore the world!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** People notice you today, especially because you might be caught off guard by something - perhaps something that a parent or a boss says or does. Whatever the surprise is might lead to your ability to help a third party through fundraising or using the resources of someone else. Do what you can.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Travel plans might be cancelled or changed today. Or alternatively, you might suddenly travel somewhere when you least expected to do so? This certainly fits in with your desire to have a good time and get out there and do your own thing. Partners are supportive.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

**** Make friends with your bank account because something unpredictable or unexpected could impact your finances. Fortunately, coworkers are supportive, even helpful to you. Meanwhile, home, family and perhaps a parent are your primary focus right now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** Get ready for a few surprises because close friends, partners and spouses might do something that catches you off guard. Hopefully, it will be a pleasant surprise for you. (It probably will be.) Meanwhile, parents should be extra vigilant with their children today to keep them from harm's way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Your work routine will be interrupted today because something unusual will occur. Staff shortages, power outages, an unusual event might catch you off guard. Meanwhile, you will enjoy redecorating where you live and inviting people over. ("How do you like what I did with the place?")

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** Social plans might suddenly change today. You might receive an unexpected invitation. Conversely, something might be cancelled or delayed. Meanwhile, guard against sports accidents. Parents should be vigilant with their kids today to avoid mishaps.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on your door? Stock the fridge so you're ready for anything. (Food soothes the savage beast.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. On the upside, you might have some brilliant ideas - perhaps an epiphany about something? Your daily routine will change. Stay mindful and alert for your own benefit.
