Moon Alert

Briefly, from 8 p.m. until 8:40 p.m. today avoid important decisions or spending money.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Give thought to job changes or residential moves that might happen. (In all likelihood, they've taken place already.) This year you complete the process you started in 1996 - namely, reinventing yourself. This is cause for a really big birthday celebration this year. Eh wot?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

During the last few years you've been thinking long and hard about your value system and what really matters to you in life. This means that some of you will entertain a change this year -- perhaps your job, perhaps your residence. Be open to this. It's part of the Master Plan.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You've been on a new path since 2001. You have a better idea of who you are now. Nevertheless, mucho changes are still taking place. This year your job and your earnings take precedence. You want to get your ducks in a row. (If you can't get your work done in 24 hours, work nights.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Many of you stay in the wrong relationship too long (this includes relationships with your job, and others, not just intimate relationships.) This is because it's hard for you to let go. Remember your motto for this year: "Letting go is not loss -- it's liberation." Yes!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have enjoyed some success in the last few years, and now it is time to start to make plans for a major shift. Begin by starting to streamline your life. Go through closets and cupboards and give away, throw away or sell whatever you no longer need. Not easy, I know.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have lots to look forward to this year because this summer lucky Jupiter will enter your sign bringing you good luck, good fortune and many opportunities. Since you know this is coming down the pipe, get ready. (Good luck is being ready to act when opportunity knocks.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your urge to work hard now and get organized at work and at home is excellent. Keep it up. You're at the brink of a major culmination in your life. In the next two years, you will see very clearly what works and what doesn't. And what works -- succeeds beautifully!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're finishing a two-year period where help from partners (financially and practically) was diminished. Now you're ready to kick start your life to prepare for new goals. Increased travel and education could be part of this formula. You are definitely going places.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Ever since 2001, your ambitions for yourself have been grander and more hopeful. You're not afraid to think big. It's good that you can rely on yourself because some of you will carry an increased responsibility because partners change jobs or become self-employed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You know you're nearing something important. That's why you feel more energized. Life has an expectant quality to it. This is the year where you will make your mark in a major way by taking your power. (This can stress relationships.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You're already starting to feel more serious about your work. You can definitely expect to work hard in the next two years. That's because you will see where it can take you. Few understand how broad your vision is.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Increased responsibilities with children are likely this year. But in the larger picture, you're asking yourself "What do I really want be when I grow up?" You don't really have to grow up. You're a Pisces, after all. You just have to have a good cover.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Tom Arnold (b. 1959) shares your birthday. You have a strong sense of aesthetics and are naturally creative. More than that, you are all always attracted to beauty. When you are interested in something, you approach it with zeal and passion. Major changes can take place this year; changes as significant as in 1994.
