ROYAL STARS

MOON ALERT: After 4 a.m. EDT today (1 a.m. PDT), there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Today’s Birthday (Oct. 2). You have intellectual interests, and many of you are well read. You are charming, easygoing and cooperative. Other people like and respect you. This is a good time to take inventory of your life and let go of people, places and property that might be holding you back.

Aries

(March 21-April 19)

HHHH You are high-viz today. Fortunately, you look good! Relations with friends, partners and spouses are warm and friendly. Good news! The goofy mistakes and miscommunications at work will now diminish. Tonight: Focus on relationships.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20)

HHHH Travel plans look promising! Ditto for involvement in publishing, the media, medicine or the law. Training or education might expand your world in ways that benefit both your health and your job. Tonight: Work.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20)

HHHH The wealth of someone else (a partner?) or money back from the government might help you pay for a vacation or some fun socializing. This assistance also might benefit your kids in some way. Tonight: Play!

Cancer

(June 21-July 22)

HHH Today you will enjoy schmoozing with others; however, keep in mind that you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign today. No worries. Tonight: Cocoon.

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22)

HHHH This is a productive day. You also might boost your health in a positive way. You might enjoy interactions with a pet more than usual. If you can take a short trip or explore more of your daily world, this will please you. Tonight: Busy conversations.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHHH Today you rank pleasure before work because, ideally, you want to do exactly what you want to do. You might be more pleased with your financial situation. In fact, some of you are shopping for beautiful things. Tonight: Check your cash flow.

Libra

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHHH You will enjoy cocooning at home today, especially if you can have some downtime to enjoy privacy in familiar surroundings. A conversation with a female family member will be warm and mutually supportive. In part, this is because you are charming and diplomatic right now. Tonight: You’re in charge.

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHH Short trips, errands, appointments and opportunities to study or learn something new will be par for the course today. Basically, you’re curious and restless today. This is why you want to do something different — see new places and meet new faces. Tonight: Research.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

HHH You have money on your mind today. Perhaps you have some moneymaking ideas. Or perhaps you are doing a reality check and figuring out what you own and what you owe. When it comes to money, get your facts straight. Tonight: Be friendly.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

HHHH Today your luck is a tiny bit better than all the other signs because the Moon is in your sign; furthermore, it is dancing with lucky, moneybags Jupiter and fair Venus. Both those planets are associated with money. Trust your good fortune. Tonight: A public romance?

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HHHH Today you will feel happy and content to lie in the weeds and keep a low profile. Nevertheless, you will still enjoy exploring ideas and learning something new, but on your terms and in your own way. Tonight: Travel plans.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20)

HHH Financial discussions with a friend or perhaps a group will go well today. Possibly, these discussions are not about money per se, but about something that you own. Maybe you are willing to lend something to a group or to a person. Tonight: Check your finances.
