ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today is the darkest day of August. Don’t start anything important or meet anyone new today. Gradual improvement starts tomorrow; Tuesday moves everyone back into the light. This is not a day to be controversial.

(March 21-April 19) ★★★ Be patient when dealing with friends and members of groups, because the energy today could provoke disputes. This same energy can also create problems with romantic partners and your relationships with your kids. Remember: Patience is the antidote to anger. Tonight: Seek privacy.
