Tread carefully today because you're high viz, which means people notice you. Meanwhile, you might be confused by parents, authority figures, or the police. Don't believe everything you hear. Someone might use their power to bamboozle you. Keep your wits about you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
If you think someone is messing with your mind, or playing loose with the facts, you're probably right. Be distrustful of issues related to politics, religion and even your friends and relatives, because something is not right today. Test the truth so that you know for yourself.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Do what you can to keep a positive attitude about whatever you're doing today, especially whenever you are talking to others. Do not be deterred by self-doubt, negative thinking, or feeling that others might be critical of you. Everyone has these fears today. Trust me.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today the moon is at odds with your ruler Neptune, which makes this a poor day for important decisions. In fact. it's a poor time to embark on any course of action that requires clear thinking and confidence. Bide your time and wait until at least tomorrow.
If today is your birthday

Simplicity is the key to life this year. Work on creating solid foundations both externally and internally. Martial arts or yoga might be tools for self-discipline. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
