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)

Denver rally shows divided feelings over U.S.-Israel action against Iran

Denver rally shows divided feelings over U.S.-Israel action against Iran

DENVER — More than 24 hours after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, Coloradans are continuing to express their feelings about what the attack means not only for the world, but here in our state.

For the second straight day, Coloradans expressed their opinions on the steps of the state Capitol about the attack by the US and Israel on Iran.

But instead of anger, as was the case on Saturday, the tone on Sunday was more cheerful.

“Today it’s a celebration about like getting our freedom back, and we would love to have people to be happy with us,” said Forzun Yalme, who helped organize the event with Free Iran Colorado.

For some Iranian-Americans, the news of the attack brings a new sense of hope that freedom is near.

“For me to be Iranian-American, in 47 years here, I learned about democracy and human rights and what I like,” detailed Amir Tosh, another member of Free Iran Colorado. “I want to transfer what your values are for democracy, human rights, freedom to my country, my motherland.”

“My uncle and grandma, grandparents, they were all so happy about what happened, because we can, like, now feel the freedom,” explained Yalme.

But some Iranian-Americans are more cautious.

Colorado’s only Iranian-American state representative, Yara Zokaie, doubts the operation will have a significant impact to Iran’s leadership.

“I’m sympathetic to people who want regime change by any means necessary, but I think we also need to stop and realize what this actually means,” said Zokaie. “Regime change is not something that can happen in one airstrike.”

Zokaie admits she herself was elated to hear Iran’s supreme leader and other top officials were killed in the attack.

But she hopes Coloradans remember the innocent people who have already been killed and those who are more likely to come.

“I ask that we remember the humanity of people in the Middle East as this news unfolds. I ask that we call for a peaceful resolution that we empower Iranian people who will bring change from within, and that we call for no war with Iran,” said Zokaie.

Several people at today’s event at the Capitol approached our Denver7 team. They shared their gratitude for President Donald Trump, the US military, and the Israelis for their action in helping bring freedom to Iran.

They hope others will see that as well. They plan on being here for the next hour and a half or so.
