HOROSCOPE

Moon Alert:

after 8:30 a.m. EST today, avoid shopping or making important decisions for the rest of the day. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus are all in your sign giving you lots of energy. (Venus makes you diplomatic and charming while Mars energizes your physical being and sense of competitiveness.) Think about how you can improve your life, especially your health.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today can be unusually creative and quite wonderful for you. Even though so much is going on behind the scenes, today the Moon is channelling your energy into playful creativity, sports, children and social situations. A lighthearted, fun-loving day!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today discussions with a female relative (perhaps Mom) could be significant. However, don’t agree to anything important. (The Moon Alert is active all day.) Yes, you’re giving lots of thought to your future goals, which is why you’re eager to bounce some ideas off others. But just talk; agree to nothing. Don’t sign up for anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might feel scattered and a bit at loose ends today. Don’t worry, this is temporary. Discussions with others might be circular or confusing, and your daily activities might be delayed or suffer from silly errors. It’s not big stuff - just stupid stuff! (And irksome.) Double-check everything.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid important financial decisions and spending money for anything other than food. Whatever you initiate today will tend not to fulfill its purpose. Ponder travel plans or how to expand opportunities in publishing and higher education, but do nothing today. Just fill your data bank.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a tricky day for you so be careful. Although you’re focused on shared property, taxes, debt, insurance and red-tape matters, this is a poor day to make decisions in these areas. Just get your data, do your homework and wait. Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Partners and close friends are playing a big role in your life right now. In one way, it’s easy to be annoyed with others, and yet you’re also seduced and delighted by them. Just go with the flow this week. It’s a tough time for important decisions

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re keen to be efficient, productive and as effective is possible in everything you do. You’ve raised the bar pretty high for yourself because you’re on a serious self-improvement kick. This is wonderful! Bravo! Today might be a good day to celebrate with friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your creative energy continues to offer you opportunities in the arts, sports, show business, the hospitality industry and anything to do with children. Some of you are busy planning vacations because this is a fun-filled time. Protect your privacy today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Continue with home-decorating projects and renovations because family and your private life demand attention now. However, today is a great day to discuss politics, religion and profound ideas. Avoid shopping. Just listen, look and learn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although you are interested in areas related to shared property, taxes, debt and insurance details, this is a poor day to make important decisions regarding these matters. Just learn and listen. This entire week is tricky for making important decisions!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

There’s an element of compromise present today and you can’t ignore it. Yes, you are focused on money and earnings but the Moon opposes you today, which means you have to give a little. Furthermore, the Moon Alert is active so you must be careful! Don’t shop for anything other than personal food. Postpone important decisions.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker (1965) shares your birthday today. You’re highly energetic! You’re also a natural leader because of your take-charge enthusiasm. Sometimes people expect too much of you because of your high energy, and this discourages you. Although you don’t mind making a big splash professionally speaking, your private life is your own. In your year ahead, you will have a chance to study or learn something valuable. Be open to this.
