ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
For some reason, people seem to know personal details about your private life today. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. We all have secrets and skeletons in our closets. (Especially those who claim they don’t.) Tonight: Patience.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
You will feel happier today if you can change your routine or do something different. You want a little excitement in your life! Ideally, you would love to travel or take a short trip. Why not be a tourist in your own city? Go someplace you’ve never been before. Tonight: Avoid disputes.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
It will be in your best interests to take care of red-tape details related to taxes, debt, insurance matters, wills and inheritances — all that fun stuff that doesn’t go away on its own. Brace yourself and decide to tackle some of this. Ironically, when you finally do, it’s not so bad. And Mercury retrograde will help you finish old business quickly! Tonight: Stay chill.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
With the Moon opposite your sign, you’re focused on your most personal relationships. Difficulties will be more emotional. Therefore, be careful that you don’t react in an automatic, knee-jerk fashion. Avoid intense confrontations. Tonight: Investigate.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
This is a good time to make an effort to get better organized both at home and in your work. If you do this, no matter how little you accomplish, you’ll love yourself for it later! “Why did I wait to do this until now?” Do yourself this favor. Take a breath and jump in. Tonight: Cooperate.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
Today, you have a strong need to be yourself, which is why you should stick up for what you want. You don’t have to conceal your feelings from others. You’re allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling. Today you might feel protective and nurturing toward someone, especially children. Tonight: Make improvements.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You’ll be happy to cocoon at home today if you can. It’s important for you to like your surroundings at home — colors, lighting and furniture arrangement — because you’re affected by your immediate environment more than other signs. You like matching towels in the bathroom. Tonight: Stay mellow.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
When talking to others today, you’ll want to discuss something important or meaningful. You don’t want to spend time in idle chitchat about the weather. This is why you will seek out someone who is willing to engage you in a meaningful way. Tonight: Listen.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
You might have some excellent moneymaking ideas today. Or perhaps you have ideas about how to save money. You might even see better uses for something that you already own. You’re in a resourceful frame of mind. Tonight: Be open.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
For two and a half days every month, the Moon is in your sign, which means your luck is slightly better. (And more emotional.) Since you have the edge over all the other signs right now, ask the universe for a favor. Tonight: Be resourceful.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Although you want to be low-key today, you can use this same energy to do research and find solutions to old problems. Plus, you have a scientific mind. (You love new inventions, rocket science and want to save the world before bedtime.) Tonight: Stay calm.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Because your emotional contact with friends is important to you today, reach out and meet a friend for lunch or coffee, or talk to them in some way. You might feel more protective of them and want to support them or help them if possible. Tonight: Research.
