ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★★
This is a pleasant day; however, it is also a day that is subject to confusion because Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune. Therefore, enjoy your day but be apprehensive. If someone suggests something unusual, give it a sober, second thought. Especially if it’s a family member. Tonight: Relax.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
Relations with close friends and partners will be warm and easygoing today. However, you also might find that your everyday conversations are subject to confusion or even deceit and misunderstandings. This is because Mercury is in your House of Communications at odds with fuzzy Neptune. Tread carefully! Tonight: Learn something.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Today your ruler Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune, which is a classic indication of confusion and misunderstandings in all your communications with others. People might withhold some information. In turn, you might idealize someone and later be disillusioned. Guard against “pie-in-the-sky” wishes, which might be unrealistic. Tonight: Check your belongings.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Do not fall for the fancy rhetoric or smooth talk of others regarding religious, political or racial ideals. Today is the classic day to be fooled by your own beliefs. Therefore, if you’re listening to others or listening to the media, don’t be quick to believe all you hear. Think for yourself! Tonight: You’re fine.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
In many ways, this will be a pleasant day for you to relax at home. You will enjoy privacy in familiar surroundings. You might even have some ideas about how to make your home look more attractive. However, if feelings of self-doubt and confusion arise. Let them go. This is temporary. Tonight: Solitude.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Today your ruler Mercury is at odds with illusory Neptune, which will create confusion in your discussions with partners and close friends. Fortunately, the Moon is supportive to you today, which means you feel warm and friendly with everyone. Be leery of important decisions. Tonight: Friends.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
In many ways, this is a lovely day to deal with authority figures — parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. However, there is one important caveat: These discussions also might be subject to confusion, misinterpretation and even deceit. Therefore, tread carefully! Tonight: You’re admired.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
Travel plans will appeal to you today. Likewise, you will enjoy talking to people from other cultures and different countries. However, disappointment in romance might be the result of unrealistic expectations from someone, especially someone who is “different.” Agree to nothing important. Tonight: Study, learn.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
You will seek privacy and peace and quiet today because you need to catch your breath. Meanwhile, don’t agree to anything important regarding financial matters, especially shared property, inheritances and insurance settlements. Postpone these decisions for a few days. Tonight: Check your finances.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
Relations with friends or members of groups are warm and friendly today. However, this can make you vulnerable in terms of agreeing with others about everyday decisions, because communications are also confusing today. Therefore, postpone important agreements. Wait a few days. Tonight: Socialize.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
You’re high-viz today. People notice you more than usual. In fact, you project a positive image to co-workers as well as others who might be related to your health care. Ironically, be careful about decisions related to your job and health care issues. They could be wrong. Tonight: Work.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Today you long for a change of scenery to meet different people and see different places. This might be possible. However, be extra careful regarding matters related to children; some confusion is present. Be aware of this. Meanwhile, romance might disappoint because of unexpressed expectations. Tonight: Relax.

BORN TODAY

Tennis legend Venus Williams (1980), actress Marie Avgeropoulos (1986), actor Greg Kinnear (1963)

SUV stolen in Denver with foster kittens inside

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado cat rescue group is scrambling after its co-founder said two foster kittens were stolen, along with the vehicle they were sitting in, on Monday morning in Denver.

Kris Meding, co-founder of Colorado Feline Foster Rescue, said the foster kittens were sitting inside a “socializing pouch” inside a sport utility vehicle, on Washington Street between 11th and 12th avenues. She said the foster parent had started the vehicle and briefly stepped away.

Within a few moments, the vehicle and kittens were gone.

“Stepped out of the car for a minute to grab something else, came back and the car was gone with her purse, her phone and the kittens in it,” Meding said.

The vehicle is a 2005 Toyota 4Runner, license plate BQAX60. Meding said both felines are chipped and were rescued from Carlsbad, New Mexico.

She said the foster parent has filed a report with the Denver Police Department.

Colorado Feline Foster Rescue has 170 cats in foster homes. Currently, the all-volunteer organization has 90-100 foster families. Last year, the group adopted out 1,200 cats.

Did you know: Almost $1 million in coins pass through the Denver Mint every day

Did you know: Almost $1 million in coins pass through the Denver Mint every day

DENVER (KDVR) – From the outside, the Denver Mint may be just another two-story government office across from Civic Center Park. But inside the Cherokee Street building, staff and machinery are busy pressing metal coils into millions of coins per day.

According to the Mint, it’s one of two facilities responsible for making circulating coins in the United States – making it a huge part of the nation’s coin flow.

According to Tom Fesing with the Denver Mint, the facility produces roughly 4.5 million coins every 24 hours. Fesing estimates that about $750,000 to $1 million has gone through the facility each day this year.

That said, the Mint can’t exactly predict how much is going to be produced throughout the year as the number of coins depends on the orders the Mint receives monthly from the central bank, the Federal Reserve System, Fesing said.

Despite the millions of dollars in coins passing through, Fesing said the coin with the lowest value, the penny, has historically had the most production.

Those numbers depend on how many coins are needed for cash transactions in the economy, according to Fesing.

“When someone gets back a cent in change, what happens to them? They usually end up in piggy banks, or in a jar, and they’re not introduced into circulation as fast as, let’s say, a quarter or a dime,” Fesing said.

While the Mint can’t predict the numbers for the end of this year, it has produced almost 1.3 billion coins this year, with almost 800 million being pennies. In 2023, the Mint produced around 5.65 billion coins for the entire year.
