GEORGIA NICOLS
Aries ( March 21 — April 19): You love fresh beginnings because you are an initiator and a pioneer. Today is the New Moon, which means it’s the time to think about new projects and ideas.
Taurus ( April 20 — May 20): This is the perfect day to examine your friendships and figure out which ones are worth keeping and which ones are more trouble than they’re worth. Friendships should be mutually beneficial.
Gemini ( May 21 — June 20): Are you heading in the general direction you want to go? Are your goals your own goals or the goals of someone else? This is the perfect day to ponder this. Think about where you want to be 10 years from now.
Cancer ( June 21 — July 22): What further education or training will help you to improve your job; or perhaps, simply enrich your life in a lovely, more meaningful way? Perhaps increased travel is the way to expand your experience?
Leo ( July 23 — Aug. 22): This is the perfect day to get your ducks in a row with taxes, debt, inheritances, insurance matters and shared property. These red- tape details won’t go away on their own accord. Get on it.
Virgo ( Aug. 23 — Sept. 22): The New Moon today occurs directly opposite your sign. This is the only time all year this happens — just one day. When it does occur, however, it means it’s the best day for you to think how you can improve your relationships.
Libra ( Sept. 23 — Oct. 22): What can you do to improve your job, or how you do your job, or get a better attitude to your job, or perhaps just get a better job? There is always room for improvement. Think about what you could do to improve your health as well.
Scorpio ( Oct. 23 — Nov. 21): Our society has a big emphasis on success, money and the Protestant work ethic. But this is only part of the picture, right? You are also a playful, creative being. How well do you balance playtime with work? Think about this today.
Sagittarius ( Nov. 22 — Dec. 21): Today’s New Moon urges you to think about home improvements and how you can improve your family relationships. In other words, this is your chance to tweak and improve certain aspects of your personal life.
Capricorn ( Dec. 22 — Jan. 19): Today’s New Moon is perhaps your best day all year to think about how you can improve your daily communications with others. If you write, study, sell, market or teach, how can you improve your performance?
Aquarius ( Jan. 20 — Feb. 18): The New Moon is an opportunity to make resolutions and set intentions. Today’s New Moon is about cash flow, finances, earnings and how you take care of your possessions.
Pisces ( Feb. 19 — March 20): Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
