Aries (March 21-April 19): Voicing your ideas could land you in the middle of a power struggle, sidestep it if you don’t want to engage. Pointing people toward helpful tasks could help defuse the situation. Future plans for your home could be on the drawing board.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Money can create some of the worst tangles between people, there’s a possibility for a cash grab or shady move. Use your mind, not your feelings, to navigate.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Something could trigger an anxiety but that doesn’t mean anything negative is afoot — a temporary push toward fear in the stars isn’t the same as a real risk.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Consider speaking truth to power, people can only make good choices when they know the facts. If an old fear gets triggered you could see a path to healing it for good. If dating, ignore fantasies and wishful thinking.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If friends are tangling, sidestep any mess and don’t get drawn in. Resistance to sharing or teamwork may begin to dissolve soon. A confident partner could have the answers or skills you need.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Luck, smarts and hard work all play a role in building your success. If it’s a day off, don’t let work concerns creep in quite yet.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Skip out on non-essential tasks if you can and get some sun on your skin and wind in your hair. Leave power plays in the dust and head for the horizon at least for a few hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Time spent in conversation with homies could be the best thing about today — they could be filled with fun ideas and interesting, helpful intel.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Shifts in power in a long-term relationship could feel disconcerting, build yourself an evolving outlook to make sense of things rather than allowing yourself to react.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A friend or a friend group could be tempted to fool around and find out, don’t allow peer pressure to lead you astray. It could be hard to get your point across but things could fall into place anyway under today’s generally strong stars.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Create and play today if you can, you need fun and physical action both. If a partner is pushing too hard, make boundaries clear and uphold them. Giving to someone in need in any form can bring benefits beyond a warm heart.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Try not to get too emotionally invested in a situation or power struggle you can’t control, let them work it out for themselves. Pushing too hard to make a day trip happen might not help, it could be hard to make your escape today.

If TODAY is your birthday: A strong mind, strong communication skills, outside help, plus good universal stars overall could make September an excellent month. October is the opposite: Universal stars support failure over success and you could be tempted into errors which could be hard to repair. Sit this month out for anything important to your future.
