MOONALERT: Avoid shopping or making big decisions from 3:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This is an easygoing day. However, take note: Postpone important purchases and decisions until after the Moon Alert today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Because you have strong feelings of escape and wanting things to be different today, by all means escape somewhere!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): With this crazy energy going on about home and family, you need all the help you can get!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be prepared to go more than halfway with others. In two weeks, others will bend to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use some part of this day to get better organized. This will please you and give you a warm feeling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is the perfect day to kick back and relax. Daytime TV, a matinee, sports and playful times with children will please you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the perfect day to cocoon at home. A discussion with a female relative could be significant.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is a quiet, behind-the-scenes day. You’ve had to deal with a lot of unusual activity regarding inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will enjoy a pleasant interaction with a female acquaintance or friend. In fact, it’s a good day to share your hopes and dreams.

IF OCT. 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Musician-composer Wynton Marsalis (1961) shares your birthday. You like to be where the action is. You are a natural leader who often influences others. Nevertheless, you have many interests in life. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.
