This year is the beginning of a new cycle, which means it’s time to take action, define your goals and be ready to act. Prepare for leadership.

Aries (March 21-April 19): You might have high hopes for a friendship today or a group to which you belong. Or perhaps your high hopes are related to a new relationship with someone who is “different.” The key here is that you have high hopes, which could lead to disappointment. Be realistic. Tonight: Privacy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re high-viz today, which means people notice you more than usual, to the extent that some will know personal details about your private life. Be aware of this. Meanwhile, this is a poor day to make important decisions about dividing or sharing something, because you might short shrift yourself. Tonight: Friendships.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Travel plans or chances to learn something new will appeal to you today. You see this as an opportunity to learn more and expand your world. However, relations with bosses, parents and authority figures are fuzzy and misleading. Don’t respond until you know for sure what’s expected of you. Tonight: You’re admired.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): A friend might surprise you today, or perhaps you are disappointed in your fair share of something. Issues related to your job or your health might confuse you. In fact, pet owners should be vigilant and make sure their pets avoid tainted food or poison. Be aware. Tonight: Explore!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): This is a tricky day. Initially, things seem to be upbeat and flying well. In turn, you have energy and focus. However, romance might disappoint you. If this is the case, you have to ask yourself if your expectations were realistic. For that matter, were your expectations even expressed? Tonight: Check your finances.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Work-related travel is likely for some of you today. Others will be happy to kick back, relax and sleep in. Nevertheless, some kind of confusion with a close friend or partner might exist. Make sure that everyone is on the same page today. Pet owners should be vigilant to avoid accidents. Tonight: Cooperate.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Romance and playful diversions appeal to you today. You also might be involved in sports and activities with kids. Make sure you know what you want and what you expect from others, because disappointment might happen today. (But could this disappointment be due to a confusion on your part?) Tonight: Work.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Watch your financial matters today. For starters, you might buy something that is elegant or expensive and later regret it. Double-check bills and sales receipts in case of an error. Relax at home and take it easy if possible. Don’t push the river. Tonight: Socialize.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might spend time fantasizing or being caught up in daydreams today. When talking to others, make sure you know what’s going on. Make no assumptions. Nevertheless, your optimism and upbeat energy will help you sail through this day! Tonight: Relax at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you’re involved in financial matters today, including major expenses, make sure you are not relying on misleading information. Furthermore, guard against last-minute changes and sudden glitches, which could cost you money. Ouch. Tonight: Discussions.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your finances look good today. Nevertheless, something going on behind the scenes could create unrealistic expectations. Double-check details, including banking and anything related to your possessions. Stay on top of things today to avoid loss. Relax this morning. Tonight: Check your possessions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a tricky day. After the Moon enters your sign, in one way, you’ll be in charge. Things will tend to go your way. However, unexpected surprises and miscommunications with a friend or a group could make things go south in a New York minute. Yikes! Tonight: You win!
