Horoscope for Friday, March 18, 2022

Moon Alert

Early morning, the full moon is in Virgo. Avoid shopping or important decisions from 3 to 7 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will give something serious thought. (We’re talking deep thinking.) You want to get to the bottom of something. You might do research. You might seek answers to deep questions, or discover why something is not working.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might confront the power of a group or an organization to which you belong or deal with every day. Your best option is to make your goals the goals of the group, which means you’re working for a win-win situation. Simple.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It’s important to use your influence and power (or the influence you have with someone else who has power) for the greater good. Don’t be self-serving. Instead, your greatest benefit will come about by making sure everyone benefits — as well as you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you’re interested in philosophical ideas and esoteric disciplines like the occult, yoga or areas of personal transformation. You want the big answers to the big questions. (Actually, some of us know that the big answer is 47.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is the perfect day to clean up messy areas with paperwork related to banking, insurance, taxes, bills and inheritances. Fortunately, you have the motivation energy to do this. Therefore, roll up your sleeves and dig in. Clean up this mess!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A heart-to-heart conversation with a partner or close friend today might result in improving your relationship. Why not put your cards on the table? Each of you might candidly admit how to make things better. For starters, this might include reducing whatever irritates the other.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a productive day at work because you want to clean things up. Not in a superficial way. Quite the opposite. You want to get to the bottom of something and tear it down to the bare minimum so that you can rebuild it in a better way for a superior result. (Impressive!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents have an opportunity to use today as a strong teaching moment. You might help your kids reduce some bad habits and replace them with good habits. Or maybe you can just get them to clean their room. Use whatever creative power you have to benefit everyone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day to clean house in a very basic sense. Ideally, you will get to the bottom of things so that whatever you do is a major improvement. You will be particularly successful if you work with bathrooms, laundry areas, garbage and recycling.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will be an effective communicator today, which is why people will sit up and listen. But the key to this day is to use your energy for the general good. Strive to introduce improvements and better ideas that benefit others as well as yourself. (This way, you truly win.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a good day to clean and maintain things that you own. Go through closets and give away what you don’t need to charity, or sell them, or simply get rid of them. Strip down what you don’t need so that you are streamlined and freer. Afterwards, you’ll feel great!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you have a marvelous opportunity to make improvements in your immediate environment. Clean up where you live. If you live in a house, clean up outside. Throw away or recycle things you don’t need. Just do it.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Rapper, actress Queen Latifah (1970) shares your birthday. You are friendly, sociable and comfortable with a wide range of people. Nevertheless, you need time alone to pull your act together. You resist routine. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to let go of what is no longer relevant in your life. Many burdens will be lifted off your shoulders.
