ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Don’t waste your energy on power struggles about money or possessions today, which you might be tempted to do.

This Week: Positive vibes. Financial and job benefits.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with big daddy Pluto. This is a classic indication of power struggles with authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Try to avoid these confrontations if possible, because they could get nasty. Why even go there? Enjoy conversations with others. Tonight: You win! This Week: A friendly, active pace. Plus, you’re productive!

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
This is a fortunate time for you, because lucky Jupiter is now in your sign to stay for the next year. This will boost your basic level of happiness and increase your good fortune! Steer clear of behind-the-scenes power struggles today. Instead, focus on earning money or shopping. Tonight: Solitude. This Week: You feel positive. Behind-the-scenes efforts pay off.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
It’s a good thing that both Mercury and Venus are in your sign. They will help you smoothly extricate yourself from difficulties with others today, which might arise because of power struggles.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
You could engage in confrontations with authority figures today, but at what cost? Why create a rift with friends, partners or spouses? Stay chill. Tonight: Show respect. This Week: You’re ambitious, outspoken and will get results!

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
This is a popular time. Enjoy hanging out with younger, creative people. Today you might get caught up in a power struggle. If so, it might ruin your day. Relax. Choose to be happy. Tonight: Explore! This Week: You’re popular. Travel and education plans look positive.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Disputes about shared possessions, shared responsibilities, inheritances or insurance matters might be a drag today. Instead, take advantage of the fact that you look good to others. Tonight: Check your finances. This Week: Because you look successful, things will go your way.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Travel or a flirtation with someone unusual might occur. Meanwhile, avoid confrontations with partners and close friends, because they will simply rob you of this happy day. Be smart. Tonight: Cooperate. This Week: Travel for pleasure. Cooperate with partners.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Although you might have disputes about work — your health or a pet — you can channel this same energy that can turn power struggles into hard work. Pick a task and decide to tackle it today, preferably outdoors. Tonight: Work. This Week: It’s an upbeat week, and you’re working hard. Favors will come your way.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

You have a choice today. You can enjoy playful diversions with others, or get your belly in a rash and get caught up in an argument with siblings, relatives or neighbors. Which sounds like more fun? Tonight: Discussions. This Week: Vacations and social outings. Romance looks promising!
