ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Advice to parents: This will be a difficult day dealing with your kids; therefore, be patient. Do what you can to avoid meltdowns and hissy fits. After all, you’re the adult.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
This is the classic day for domestic friction and arguments, especially with female family members. Remember that anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. Stay chill. Tonight: Keep the peace. This Week: Fun outings, sports, creative times and romance.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Because you’re a bit impatient today, this can be an accident-prone day for you. Your anxious feelings might distract you from concentrating on what you’re doing. Avoid arguments at work. Be cool. Tonight: Patience. This Week: Family gatherings, home entertainment and socializing!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

Tense, financial disagreements might arise today related to home, family or social outings and vacations. This tension might affect romantic couples. Don’t let this angst ruin your day. Take charge.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with three other planets, which means you will be at odds with others as well. Arguments might suddenly break out. Do your best to be Teflon. Don’t get involved. Tonight: Stay calm. This Week: You’re happy, and you appreciate your daily world. Life is good.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
This is the kind of day where you might argue with someone about the name of the month — yes, it’s ridiculous. Don’t try to convince anyone of anything. This will only lead to further conflict. Tonight: Solitude. This Week: A fast-paced, fun-filled week with lots of conversations.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Don’t ruin this day by having an argument with a friend or a member of a group, especially about financial matters. At the end of the day, this really doesn’t matter. Therefore, look for ways to be part of the solution, not the problem. Tonight: Tolerance. This Week: Shop for wardrobe items. Time for a makeover!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Arguments and tension with partners, bosses and the police will be classic today because everyone feels some tension dealing with each other. Steer clear of authority figures. Do not wake the sleeping Dragon. Tonight: Be respectful. This Week: Socialize. Romance is passionate. Enjoy warm friendships.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Avoid touchy subjects that are controversial, because these will quickly explode into arguments today. Fortunately, relations with bosses and parents are smooth and convivial. Go with what works. Avoid what is prickly. Tonight: Avoid arguments. This Week: Low-key but warm friendships. Perhaps a romance?

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
You might be angry at a friend today or a member of a group and decide to flounce off in a huff. (Always bring your huff to dubious meetings.) This is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Relax. Tonight: Check your finances. This Week: You’re popular. Travel and expand your world.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Don’t do battle with authority figures, parents, teachers or the police today. It won’t be pretty. Why get involved? Why make yourself and others miserable? Give people who might be the source of trouble for you a wide berth. Play it safe. Tonight: Listen. This Week: You’re admired. Romance beckons!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Avoid touchy subjects today. Some people are looking for an excuse to have an argument. They’re keen to fight because they’re disgruntled or unhappy. Instead, walk the other way. Or run! Tonight: Work. This Week: Warm relationships. Meet new faces; see new places.
