Moon Alert: Caution! Avoid shopping or important decisions after 12 noon EDT today (9 a.m. PDT) for the rest of the day. The Moon is in ARIES.

Happy birthday for Saturday, April 26, 2025: You have bold ideas, plus you’re detail-oriented. You are realistic, reliable, careful and independent. You plan ahead. This year is about socializing and enjoying life and your relationships. Your creativity, zest and desire for life are at the pinnacle! Nurture the happiness and beauty that you have within yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Tread carefully! Arguments with children, as well as arguments with romantic partners and even arguments that arise out of parties and social situations, could ruin your day. If possible, don’t even go there. Remember patience is the antidote to anger. Be the adult in the room — stay chill. Tonight: Patience.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Power struggles with family members and possibly parents or bosses (anyone in authority) are likely today. This is because people are entrenched in their point of view and not open to compromise. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.) Be careful. Tonight: Listen.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Pay attention to everything you say and do today. This is an accident-prone day for you. Primarily, an accident might occur because you are distracted with arguments or power struggles with someone — very likely a daily acquaintance, sibling or relative. Do what you can to keep the peace. Tonight: Be reasonable.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): People are volatile today. You might enter into confrontations with others about money, cash flow, earnings, possessions or something to do with shared property. It might even be shared responsibilities. Go gently. Tonight: Get your facts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Mars is in your sign right now, which is a good thing, because this strengthens your confidence and gives you energy. However, today it opposes Pluto, which can bring severe power struggles with others. You might be relentless (even ruthless) in achieving your aims. Don’t do this. Tonight: Be cool.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Guard against knee-jerk reactions or caustic retorts to others today. Even though you will likely encounter some power struggles with others, resist the urge to be the worst expression of yourself. Why do this? It’s a choice. Why not be the best expression of yourself? Tonight: Relax.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the classic day for quarrels with friends or groups that might come out of a deep-seated resentment that has been lingering for a while. The thing is that today, if you act only for your own welfare, you will lose. If you can work for your own good as well as the welfare of others, you will win. Tonight: Be friendly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid arguments and disputes with parents, authority figures, teachers and certainly the police, because today things will get nasty in a New York minute. Instead, secure your own position as best as possible. Enlist the aid of others. Resist the temptation to go it alone. Tonight: Cooperate.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do yourself a favor and avoid controversial subjects like politics and religion, because today things will get nasty. But what is to be gained? Why ruin your day? Let this go for your own peace of mind. It’s important for Sagittarians to be optimistic. Tonight: Learn something.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are someone who can keep your cool under stress and pressure, which is a valuable asset. Use this talent today if you encounter arguments about shared property, banking issues, earnings, possessions or disputed responsibilities. Don’t get involved. Stay cool. Tonight: Check your finances.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Disagreements with friends and partners can arise today, but basically, these are power struggles. You can’t control the other person, but you can control your own actions. Make your position clear but don’t get involved to the point where things are nasty. Enlist help, if possible. Tonight: Show respect.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Issues matter a lot to people today. They’re hot under the collar. Very likely, you can’t change someone else’s thinking. Accept the limitations of what you can do. Furthermore, resist being underhanded, especially if these battles are work-related. Tonight: Be caring.
