Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions until 11:15 p.m. EDT. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The placement of the Sun and Mercury are keeping you busy! You've got places to go, things to do, people to see. Short trips, conversations with siblings and relatives, plus buying and selling are the order of the day. You feel the need to enlighten others. Blah blah blah. (Go right ahead.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You're never casual about money. Money represents security and beautiful things to you. Right now, both the Sun and Mercury are focusing your interest on ways to boost your income, as well as ways to spend it! Pay attention to your moneymaking ideas.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It's your time in the Sun, which means opportunities and people are inexplicably attracted to you now. Lap up this attention. Make the most of it. People want to talk to you and share ideas with you. It's all good. Milk this for all it's worth!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even though you're unusually persuasive right now, and quite relentless about impressing your point of view on others, in fact, you need to retire behind the scenes or work alone. That's because you're getting ready for your debut - i.e. your birthday, which is right around the corner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Enjoy your popularity. Young, bright, clever people want to talk to you now. Their ideas might influence you in some way, especially about travel, dealing with foreign countries, or something to do with higher education, publishing, and the media. "Now hear this! Now hear this!"

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Have you noticed bosses, parents, teachers, and VIPs are noticing you more than usual? Well, they are. Furthermore, you have "good lighting", which means they think you're very competent and capable. This is why increased possibilities are coming your way. (Accept them -- you'll do fine.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are so focused with higher education, publishing, the media, or perhaps something related to travel, dealing with foreign countries, or people from other cultures, or possibly medicine and the law. Fortunately, you can make great strides in all these areas. Keep at it!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are fixated on shared property, taxes, debt, the division of labour or the division of responsibilities, or how you share things with others (or not). These are issues that concern you. You don't feel casual about any of this either. "Hey you - cough up!"

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your focus on partners and close friends is unusually intense now because the Sun and Mercury are directly opposite your sign. Actually, this is your best chance all year to learn more about how to relate to these people. After all, these relationships are important. Smoochey boochies!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You can get a tremendous amount done now simply because you're motivated to do so. You're gung ho to get better organized. You want everything in its place. You want to pull things together at home and at work. Great! Get to it. (In other words, use this urge.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Slip away on a vacation if you can because you want to party! Jump on romance, love affairs, sports, playful activities with children, mini getaways, parties, art openings, craft shows and anything that looks like appealing fun.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

No matter what is going on your life, you are super focused on home, family and domestic issues. One thing is certain, with fiery Mars directly opposite your sign for the first time in several years, partnerships are contentious! Wait until this passes before you make any important decisions. (Mid to late August.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor John Cho (1972) shares your birthday today. It's important for you to succeed because you have goals you intend to achieve. You're patient about working and building toward those goals. You plan ahead, and you make your choices carefully and wisely. (This includes how you choose to include people in your life or not.)Your timing generally pays off. In this year ahead, you will learn something very valuable.
