The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult


ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Take as much time in solitude today as you can. Release addictive loves. Addictive loves are those which seem compelling but bring only sorrow and frustration, not peace and nurture. Trust in your own strength and powers of reason. Tonight: Talk with a mentor.

This Week: Settle any unresolved conflicts and feel yourself relax.


TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Today you find out how to enhance future security. Get to know people you admire from afar and join their social groups online. It sounds stealthy but it’s just the way it needs to be now with all the social isolation. Tonight: Chat and zoom.

This Week: Have fun but do not overspend and overdo.


GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are making it entirely too pleasant and a fun experience to be this socially distanced. You entertain the kids and you make it like an adventure. Of course, we are all jealous. This promises interesting possibilities. Tonight: Play peek-a-boo with the children.

This Week: Tread cautiously if you find yourself in a drama.


CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You dream of a land far away. You wish you could travel. A legal matter finally will get resolved, you are relieved just to hear the news. It’s amazing how many make allowances in an emergency crisis like this. Tonight: Learn a new language online.

This Week: You feel the pressure of responsibilities lift. Help others.


LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Since analytical Virgo is involved in this pattern, it makes sense to keep very neat and complete financial records. Remember not to become anxious regarding financial situations. It wastes time and energy. Money is only of value for the good it brings about. Tonight: Relax.

This Week: Make practical future plans. Keep it realistic.


VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you are fancy free, a new romantic interest can develop through your professional circle today. Relationships are highlighted today, even fleeting connections. Your feelers, your bee antennae, are so attuned, following this isolation time. You will see. Tonight: Ask for more.

This Week: Heed advice from friends or mate.


LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Take reasonable care around those who are ill. Step back from those who are depressing you or are perhaps psychologically draining. You must be extra vigilant with your health today. It comes first. It takes a national emergency to get you to say “no.” Tonight: No.

This Week: A powerful new friendship is formed. Embrace it.


SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Recognize how friendships can be a catalyst for love. Accept invitations to meet friends online. This can bring a delightful series of new contacts. You can expect great happiness to be accompanied by change regarding the tender passions. Tonight: Hot virtual date.

This Week: Don’t let this week’s temporary effects put you in a dither.


SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today is really a home day. You are really getting it. You need time to yourself but when you want it. You are starting to feel like Aries, a little caged. A hobby shared with others can also invite a closer intimacy. Tonight: Indulge.

This Week: Watch out for power struggles in relationships.


CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You must convince and persuade others and attend some form of conference. There are a lot of necessary interactions today. With your sibling, neighbors, old pals. Also a delightful series of new contacts. It is very enjoyable. Tonight: Continue.

This Week: Let go and let others handle it for now.


AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Depression lifts and your faith helps you to carry plans forward. People are becoming more giving and thoughtful. In love and business and in common conversation. Your physical vitality is improving. Tonight: Online retail therapy, but do not use your credit cards.

This Week: Restlessness and impulse reign. Remember to breathe.


PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Make certain that you include the friends of a companion who is winning your heart. Then make certain your prospective partner’s feelings are mutual concerning your friends. Keep in mind you may open up to someone completely new. Tonight: Show off.

This Week: Communication in new forms absolutely thrill you.
