GEORGIA NICOLS
All signs: Avoid shopping and important decisions from 3:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Be wary of important decisions regarding inheritances, taxes, debt, insurance issues and anything to do with shared property as most of this morning is a Moon alert.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): At the beginning of the day, the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to be accommodating. Check timing of the Moon alert because you will know when to “do nothing.”
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Your efficiency will suffer. Avoid important decisions until after this Moon alert is over, especially at work. Meanwhile, cope with relatives camped on your doorstep.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The time of the Moon alert is a poor time for business decisions or spending money. However, it’s an excellent time for creative activity. Your imagination is in free fall. This might be helpful for you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid important family decisions during the Moon alert. The tricky thing about a Moon alert is even though it’s the very time we should not spend money or make an important decision — it becomes the thing we really want to do.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mercury is retrograde in your sign, plus there’s a Moon alert. This means you have to tread carefully. Check the times of the Moon alert and avoid important decisions and expenditures.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s important to be aware of the Moon alert because it takes place in one of your Money Houses. Resist the temptation to buy anything other than food or gas until the Moon alert is over.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Moon is in your sign in the middle of a Moon alert. Watch what you say and do and how you spend your money until the Moon alert is over. Then you can begin this week with confidence.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s a squirrelly day because of the Moon alert. Best to postpone important decisions and purchases. You might feel a bit powerless or sidelined. Later in the day, the Moon moves into your sign and you are empowered.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t worry if you feel a bit adrift for the first part of this day. That’s because the Moon alert is taking place in a hidden part of your chart. After the Moon changes signs, you will enjoy a social day.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might have a heart-to-heart discussion with a friend early in the day. If so, take everything with a grain of salt because whatever you decide might completely change. Wait until the Moon alert is over to know what is really going on.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Steer clear of important discussions with parents and bosses this morning. Wait until the Moon alert is over. Then, travel plans and a chance to study or expand your world will present themselves.
