ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Tread carefully this morning because tempers are short and people are impatient. Not you, of course. (That is a joke.) This is because the Moon is at odds with your ruler fiery Mars. Fortunately, later in the day, all is well; nevertheless, feelings are intense and passionate. Tonight: Check shared possessions.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Avoid work-related squabbles. (Remember, you have to work with these people in the future.) Later in the day, when the Moon is opposite your sign, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. The key is to be friendly, cooperative and accommodating. Tonight: Discussions!

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Today your ruler Mercury is dancing with Neptune, which makes you feel sympathetic and genuinely interested in the welfare of someone. However, other astrological challenges are present, which could create tension when dealing with your kids as well as romantic partners. Be patient with social outings. “Trick or treat?” Tonight: Get involved.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
You might encounter some tension in social situations, or when dealing with your kids or romantic partners. It’s Halloween, and there might be a lot going on. Nevertheless, you have wonderful, creative ideas when it comes to artistic decisions and, possibly, Halloween costumes! Bravo. Tonight: Socialize!

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Today you feel sympathetic with a family member. You might want to help kids get into the festivity of things, or you might help a family member distribute candy at the door — it could be anything. The key is to be patient, because various distractions can create friction with others. Tonight: Home and family.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
You might spend a lot of time daydreaming today or lost in a fantasy world. That’s OK. Obviously, this is a good day for you if you need to use your imagination. Early in the day, be patient with others when it comes to money and your belongings. Easy does it. Tonight: New ideas.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Today begins with the Moon still in your sign at odds with Mars and Pluto (yikes!), which is why you might feel quarrelsome or irritated with someone. Check the Moon Alert before you spend money today. Be cautious about going overboard buying luxurious items. Tonight: Protect your belongings.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
Be patient with people this morning, because later in the day, after the Moon moves into your sign, you will be empowered! Things will tend to go your way. Because of this, you might look kindly upon a friend or partner and wish to help them in some way. Tonight: Imaginative decisions.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
This is a good time to shop for wardrobe items for yourself. However, don’t do this during the Moon Alert today. Be patient with friends and members of groups this morning. Avoid friction or intense confrontations with others. Who needs this? (Not you.) Tonight: Privacy.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
You continue to be high-viz as this day begins. Keep this in mind if you have a quarrel with somebody, because others will definitely notice. (Heated whispers in an elevator?) Practice a kindness today. Tonight: Be helpful.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
This morning you might argue about politics, religion or racial issues. Don’t start your day on the wrong foot. Later today, the Moon moves to the top of your chart, making you high-viz, which means everyone notices you. Be cool. Tonight: You’re admired.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Squabbles about money, debt or shared property might occur this morning. Stay clear of these if possible. Later in the day, grab any opportunity to travel or do something different. You want to broaden your horizons and discover adventure! Do something different! Tonight: Ideas!
