ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★★
If you gamble, be careful today. It’s easy to think something is better than it is. This applies to sports, games and even romantic relationships. Pull in your reins a bit so you can better gauge the lay of the land. Tonight: Patience. This Week: Socialize; enjoy life, especially next weekend.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
Group gatherings at home will be joyful. Nevertheless, something excessive will be the tone of the day. Too many people? Too much food? Arrogant opinions? How many people will that balcony hold? Tonight: Caution. This Week: Entertain this week, especially Sunday the 13th.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Take everything with a grain of salt today, because a friend might exaggerate. Someone will paint things rosier than reality. This is because there’s an element of excess today. Be aware of this. Tonight: Listen. This Week: Short trips, visits and conversations!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Parents and bosses might exaggerate today. They might have more confidence in something than it deserves. Or they overestimate their authority. That’s because there is a tendency to go overboard today. Tonight: Be careful. This Week: Finances look good. You’re convincing!

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
Plans for travel or something to do with legal matters, medicine, publishing or higher education look promising today! You might think that everything is wrapped up with a bow. But today things look better than they are. Tonight: Avoid controversy. This Week: You’re charming and popular. Call the shots.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
This is a tricky day, because you might discuss shared property, inheritances or how to divide or share something. If this is the case, don’t bet the farm. Don’t believe something if it sounds too good to be true. People will stretch the facts today. Tonight: Avoid quarrels. This Week: Listen to your own advice. Be independent.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Today it’s easier to go along to get along. Accommodate others, because the Moon is opposite your sign. Fortunately, people will be easygoing and cooperative. Nevertheless, someone might exaggerate their worth, their wealth or their demands. Tonight: Seek peace. This Week: It’s a popular week! Schmooze next Sunday.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
This is a friendly, sociable day. Authority figures see you in a positive way. However, they might promise more than they can deliver. (A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.) Tonight: Stay chill. This Week: Do your own thing. You have the power.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
This is a lovely day to socialize. You want to enjoy sports, the arts and interesting outings. Nevertheless, do be careful with travel plans, because you might overestimate what is possible. Be realistic. Stay hydrated. Tonight: Patience. This Week: Travel for pleasure. Next Sunday … romance.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
If you’re counting on the financial or practical help of someone, be skeptical. Someone might promise more than they can deliver. Today people will bite off more than they can chew. Tonight: Keep the peace. This Week: Although favors come to you, stay in charge.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Be realistic when talking to partners and close friends today. Either party might exaggerate or be too optimistic about something. It’s great to have your head in the clouds, but you gotta keep your feet on the ground. Tonight: Stay frosty. This Week: Warm relations with partners and close friends.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
You’re keen to work hard today. Be aware that it’s easy to bite off more than you can chew. Your ambition might make you promise more than you can deliver. Be aware of this, because everyone today is inclined to exaggerate or have unrealistic expectations. Tonight: Chill out. This Week: Work is easy if you’re your own boss.
