Moon Alert
We have the All Clear today to shop and make important decisions.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Because yesterday's Full Moon has peaked, most people are beginning to mellow out. However, you could still face the threat of serious ego conflicts with bosses and authority figures. Perhaps something you embraced six months ago is now being challenged.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Issues connected with the government, the media, publishing, higher education and the law are a concern for you today. You feel you oppose something now. Thing carefully before you make your next move. Always keep your objective clearly in mind. (When in doubt -- wait.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Disagreements with a friend about shared resources or joint holdings (and possibly sex) test your patience today. Things aren't turning out as you planned. Members of the group are recalcitrant and uncooperative. (What a bunch of spoils sports.) Unleash your legendary diplomatic tact on them.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a lousy day for a Gunfight at OK Corral. Do not go toe to toe (or head-to-head or elbow to elbow) with anyone. Many people are literally looking for a fight today. You might have to defend a stance you took about six months ago. If necessary, be assertive (but only if necessary.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You're tempted to be a bit bossy at work today. (Part of the problem is others fail to grasp that you are royalty.) In particular, be careful of conflict with authority figures. (Not good.) Better to use this vigorous energy to accomplish a lot of work. Show them how it's done.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You might be disappointed with a flirtation that you hoped was going somewhere. (Actually it did -- South.) You feel intense about things because you had high expectations. Lighten up take a step back. Try that entrance again. Be friendly and just accept what happens.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Nasty little frogs and toads can pop out of your mouth today if you engage in tense discussions with family members. Ditto for partners. Fiery Mars is at odds with today's Aries Sun. Anybody who gets pushy will lose. (Except of course, the bully who ultimately wins.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Although you've been in a playful mood lately, today you're not interested in indulging yourself or fooling around. You've got stuff to do and you want to get to it. Great! Take advantage of this energy while it lasts. Maketh hay while the sun shines.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Definitely do not get suckered into spending money to prove anything today. It would be very easy to do. Perhaps you can't resist a bet, or you feel you have to pick up the tab, or you have to impress the Joneses. (Who do the Joneses keep up with?) Make sure you know what you're doing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
An aggressive stance is not the way to get things done today. You will lose more than you will gain. Remember: you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. Your determination might be more than mere confidence; it could be willfulness. (This blinds you to what's really happening.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Get off your soapbox and quit trying to persuade, convince, cajole, sell, proselytize or make others agree with your point of view. People don't have to agree with you. That has nothing to do with you being right or wrong. It's strange but it's true. But you have to agree with you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
If you're unhappy with a friend, be diplomatic. Be careful that your complaint doesn't arouse hostility towards you. Remember what your objective is. You want others to agree with you. Keep this in mind. Look for a common ground where there is agreement.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor William Holden (b.1918) shares your birthday. You are strong willed, earthy and in touch with your power. You care about animals. You are adventurous and demonstrate leadership qualities. This is why others always respect you. This year could be one of the luckiest years of your life!
