Enjoy today! Do what you please. With your strong focus on home and family, you might be gardening or camping. This is also a great time for children’s activities. Meanwhile, social outings and sports events are appealing! With the Moon opposite your sign, be patient with others. Tonight: Cooperate.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
You might have an ambitious to-do list, because fiery Mars in your sign makes you eager to have a finger in many pies. You’re talking to siblings, relatives and neighbors; reading and writing; plus some of you are taking a short trip. Don’t overdo it. Go with the flow. Tonight: Work.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
This is a lovely day to schmooze and enjoy the company of others. In particular, you’ll appreciate your daily surroundings more than usual, which, let’s face it, is such a blessing. If money and shopping are on your mind, be smart and check the Moon Alert. Tonight: Play!
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
Although you have strong energy to do what you want today (including shopping and doing financial negotiations), you’ll love a chance to retire and hide at home with good food and comfy surroundings. “It’s hard out there without your towel.” Tonight: Relax.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
Enjoy schmoozing with others today, because the Moon is sitting in your House of Communications. This means you have a strong desire to talk to others and share your ideas. You want a meaningful connection with someone. You also want to be heard! (Leos know how to grab the talking stick.) Tonight: Conversations.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Keep things relatively laid-back today, because it’s easy to try to do more than you really can accomplish. Don’t push the river. Nevertheless, you are focused on shopping and earning money, no question. Plus, this is a popular time for you. Go gently. Tonight: Check your belongings.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Things will go your way today, because the Moon is in your sign and the Sun is at the top of your chart. This puts you in the driver’s seat.

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
Your interactions with a friend might be important today. Travel will also appeal to you because you want to explore new ideas and see new places.

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★

PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
This continues to be a playful, fun-loving time for you. You’re also mentally energetic, which empowers your communication skills with others. Don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with any job you’re doing. Jump in. Tonight: Check your finances.

University of Denver to close Ricks Center for Gifted Children next year
The University of Denver will close the Ricks Center for Gifted Children next year as enrollment has fallen in recent years, the college announced this week.
The Ricks Center, which serves gifted children as young as 3 years old, will operate for the 2026-27 academic year before closing, according to a letter DU sent parents on Wednesday.
“The University of Denver has made the difficult decision to close the Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the conclusion of the 2026–2027 academic year,” spokesman Jon Stone said in a statement. “This decision reflects long-term operational and financial considerations and is not a reflection of the school’s quality, leadership, or community.”
The center, which is located on DU’s campus, was started in 1984 as the University Center for Gifted Young Children. The program offers classes to students in preschool through eighth grade, according to the website.
The program, along with other public K-12 schools in the state, has experienced declining enrollment in recent years. The center enrolled 142 students for the 2025-26 academic year, which is down from 200 pupils four years ago.
The center will hold a meeting about the pending closure on March 6 for parents.
