IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actor/ director Ben Affleck (1972) shares your birthday. You are an optimist who is easygoing but always observant. You have high standards for yourself. Congratulations because this is your time of harvest. Now you will begin to reap the benefits of your efforts in the last decade. This is why you will enjoy an increased influence and leadership in your relationships. You deserve this time of success.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Although you have been gung ho to work hard, especially at work, today you might feel challenged! Why? Because of the full moon. Suddenly, relationships with bosses and even co-workers are more delicate. Tread carefully.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You feel pulled between the demands of home and family vs. the demands of your career and job. You can’t please both. With this particular full moon, don’t ignore the demands of home and family. Go with what’s happening.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. Think before you speak or act so that you have no regrets. Although you are forceful and opinionated right now, pull in your reins. Listen to what others have to say.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Something to do with finances, earnings or a particular possession will come to a head now. It’s sort of a do-or-die moment. You believe in what you’re doing — or you don’t. Look around you and take stock. (You take the heifer, I’ll take the bull.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The only full moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This means something is coming to a head in your closest relationships. It can also mean you’re at odds with someone. Be reasonable. Find some middle ground.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today’s full moon could create challenges for you at work. It might also create challenges to your health or something that might be related to a pet. Cope as best you can because the full moon energy is gone in 48 hours.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is a rocky day for romance because of the full moon energy. Likewise, it can be challenging if you’re a parent and dealing with kids. Nevertheless, a problem might be revealed. This full moon might show you where you need to compromise and be reasonable. It’s possible.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A rift in the family might occur because of the full moon energy. You might find yourself at odds with the majority of family members or someone in a position of authority in the family. It never hurts to listen. In fact, by listening, you might see things through different eyes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
This is an accident-prone day for you verbally and physically. Steer clear of contentious disputes about politics, religion and racial issues because they will be difficult and disturbing. (You don’t need this negative energy.) Instead, take the high road because that’s your style. You are the centaur, the archer!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today’s full moon shoots across both your money houses, which is why something to do with your finances or something you own or even the finances of somebody else might come to a head at this time. Think things over carefully before you act.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today the only full moon in your sign all year is taking place, which can make you more emotional and more excitable than usual. Guard against overreacting or blurting something out that you might regret. Put a lid on things and give everything a sober, second thought.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re working hard lately and feeling good about it. You’re proud of what you are accomplishing. Furthermore, others are cooperating with you. (Great!) Don’t let anyone make you second guess what you’re doing. Follow your hunches and work for the highest good, including your own.
