GEORGIA NICOLS
All signs: Avoid shopping and big decisions from 1 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. today. After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Part of today is a Moon Alert. It’s a poor time to make travel reservations or commit to something important. The day is a bit hazy regarding long-distance travel and dealing with foreign countries, legal matters and medical details.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): This is a poor day for important decisions about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt. Postpone these discussions for another day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Relations with partners and close friends might be subject to confusion today. In fact, in a few cases, this could be outright deception.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Double check your work on the job today because confusion and errors are likely. Confused communications with coworkers might occur.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): This is the classic day to fall in love with someone or put them on a pedestal. However, it’s also the classic day for romantic disappointment. Actually, the two are related because adoration created in your mind can lead to disappointment.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be clear in all your communications with others, especially with family members, close friends and partners because some kind of confusion or misunderstanding might occur today.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be hard on yourself if you spend time daydreaming or being lost in your own world of fantasy. These things happen; and today is just one of those days.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might be confused about financial matters today. Double check your work or your figures. You might be tempted to spend too much on glamour and glitz. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Beware of idealizing somebody to the point where you’re not really seeing who they are. Ironically, not only is this not fair to you — it’s not fair to them. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Something going on behind the scenes doesn’t feel right to you. If this is the case, don’t just slough it off and ignore it. Consider it a little warning to smarten up. .
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might feel uncertain or put off by something someone says today, especially a friend or member of a group. Or you might feel that others are hiding something from you. Trust your hunches.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When talking to authority figures today — parents, bosses and VIPs — sift and weigh everything that is said very carefully because a misunderstanding might occur. Or worse — someone might intentionally try to mislead you.
