ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Avoid arguments with others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. It's not just you - everyone is looking for a fight today!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Something that occurs behind the scenes might get your goat today. It could be related to foreign countries, other cultures or something strange and different. Be patient.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

A conversation with someone younger might irritate you today. Try to be patient for your own benefit as well as others'. It's no fun to get your belly in a rash.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

An interaction with a boss or someone in a position of authority might be difficult today. Knowing this ahead of time, back off. This is not the day to ask for permission or approval.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Avoid sensitive subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will quickly become fights. You don't need this. Walk the other way. (Pamper yourself with a treat.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Postpone discussions about shared property or inheritances for another day, because people are argumentative today. It's hard to get agreement or consensus almost impossible.

Be patient with partners and close friends today, because people are on edge. They feel as if they have gotten the short end of the stick. This makes them pouty. And so it goes.

Keep your head down and your powder dry at work today. Engage others as little as possible, because people are sensitive and touchy. Avoid work-related arguments.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Lovers' quarrels might occur today, because people are sensitive and quick to take offense. Basically, they feel sorry for themselves. Likewise, you need to be patient when dealing with kids, because they feel sensitive, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Avoid family squabbles today, because they easily can arise. Keep to yourself. Be patient. Don't go looking for trouble. (Forewarned is forearmed.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Stay mellow when talking to siblings, relatives and neighbors today, because people are touchy! And so are you. Do what you can to keep the peace.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Quarrels about money might arise today, or they could be related to possessions or something you own. Postpone these discussions for another day, because today doesn't work.
