Today the Moon is opposite your sign, as it is for two and a half days every month. When this occurs, you have to compromise and go more than halfway when dealing with others.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
If possible, hunker down and take it easy at home today. Do not shop except for food or gas. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow. Meanwhile, expect delays related to money and cash flow.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
This is a good day to remember that patience is the antidote to anger. Why? Because your daily encounters with relatives, siblings and neighbors might suddenly become intense, and this intensity could erupt into an angry dispute with someone. (This also applies to driving.) Go gently. Don’t try to prove anything. Tonight: Relax.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Arguments about possessions, money, cash flow or unpaid loans might erupt today because your focus is on your personal wealth. However, to a lesser degree, your focus is also about your values. Either way, arguments about old issues might arise. Stay chill. Tonight: Check your possessions.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
Today the Sun is in your sign directly opposite Pluto, which can unconsciously encourage power struggles with others. In fact, you might face a breakdown in a relationship after someone thoroughly airs their grievances. Machinery also might break down. Yikes! Tonight: Be confident.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Take it easy today. One challenge you face might be that you feel upset about something and yet you can’t speak up. This means you are quietly smoldering with anger. Not good. Do not overreact. Fortunately, relations with parents and bosses are smooth and mutually supportive. Tonight: Lie low.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Step lightly and be careful when dealing with friends and members of groups today. Power struggles and arguments might break out. This is because people have strong feelings about issues, whatever they are. (Of course, old friends are back on the scene.) Stay frosty. Tonight: Be conciliatory.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Do your best to maintain your cool today, and avoid power struggles with parents, bosses and the police (anyone who is an authority figure). You’ll be tempted to take a stand. But to what purpose? What will you gain? You might just end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) Tonight: Listen.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
Steer clear of controversial issues today because arguments will easily break out. This is because people have strong feelings and want to convince others to agree with them. It’s an intense day! Avoid dangerous neighborhoods. Equipment might break down. Tonight: Be open.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Power struggles about money and possessions might erupt today. Avoid being domineering, but also avoid being stepped on by someone else. Be smart and avoid high crime areas, because this day encourages aggression related to your possessions. Keep a low profile and protect your assets. Tonight: Check your finances.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Disputes with others are intense. This is the classic day for a relationship to end because of an angry power struggle. Therefore, avoid this if possible. Admittedly, ex-partners might be back on the scene creating confusion. Seek the highest good for yourself and others. Tonight: Be reasonable.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Issues related to work, your health or even a pet might come to a head today. This is the classic day for equipment breakdowns as well. Power struggles with others might make you feel forced to stand up for your position. However, this does not assure you a victory. Avoid aggression today if you can. (For your own good.) Tonight: Stay neutral.

★★★

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★

Also, are you headed in the direction you want to go? Tonight: You’re noticed.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
Each New Moon is a chance to make resolutions. Today is the perfect day to take stock of your education and knowledge. Do you have attitudes about yourself and education that get in the way of your success? Does your belief system help or hinder you? Tonight: Explore!

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
This is the best day all year to take stock of your financial status and debt. For example, is there a good balance in your life between your reliance on your own resources and those of the people who care for you? Are you abusing your debt? Tonight: Check your finances.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
The New Moon today is the perfect day to think about your long-term relationships. What are your beliefs about love? How do you finish the sentence, “What people want out of me is …” Or, “Whenever I get involved in a relationship …” Tonight: Cooperate.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Use today’s New Moon to set goals about work habits, attitudes and performance. At your job, do you get by with doing as little as you can? Under what conditions do you work best? How you work affects your sense of personal self-respect. Tonight: Get organized.
