LOVE AND THE STARS

Moon Alert: Caution:

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from noon until 8:30 p.m. EDT today (9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you might have an intense encounter with an authority figure — a parent, boss, teacher or member of the police. If so, this encounter will be intense. You might feel overwhelmed by your feelings. Meanwhile, most of this day is a Moon Alert. Tonight: Talk to a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today it's easy to be obsessed with an idea, which is why it is wise to avoid discussions about politics, racial issues and religion. Your emotions will be too strong! Tonight: People notice you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because most of this day is a Moon Alert, avoid important decisions about shared responsibilities, shared money, taxes, debt, loans and mortgages. This is not the day to discuss these matters. Forewarned is forearmed. Tonight: Change your routine

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A discussion with someone close to you could be intense today. Both parties might feel obsessed and stuck in their own point of view or their desires. You might be at a standoff. Tonight: Check your finances.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you're willing to work hard. You also might be focused on your health. However, it's easy to be obsessed with an idea today. Furthermore, most of this day is a Moon Alert. Tonight: Be cooperative.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Difficulties with romance might arise today because people are intense, even obsessed. Meanwhile, today is a Moon Alert, which means it's a poor time to make a decision, and yet, feelings are running high. Tonight: Do some work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Avoid intense discussions with family today, because they will be pointless. Nevertheless, someone might be obsessed about something, which is hard to ignore. Tonight: Relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don't try to convince someone to agree with you no matter how intensely you believe that you are right. Today everyone is inclined to be obsessed about something. Furthermore, today is a Moon Alert. Just coast. Tonight: Cocoon at home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have strong ideas about financial matters today or something you own. However, this is a poor day to take a stand, because most of this day is a Moon Alert. Instead, take a breather. Allow this situation some space. Tonight: Stay calm.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with Pluto, which will create an emotional experience for you. You might become obsessed about a particular idea, especially if you're dealing with a female. Note the Moon Alert today and lighten up. Tonight: Protect possessions.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some deep secrets might be revealed today. This could be connected to an obsession you have or an intense kind of research. Do not be persuaded by information that is questionable. Most of today is a Moon Alert. Lighten up and get some perspective. Tonight: Be reasonable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might have an intense discussion with a friend or a group. You might be at loggerheads because each of you is obsessed with your point of view. Obviously, this will go nowhere. Tonight: Stay calm.
