Moon Alert

It is Full Moon in Capricorn today at 3:21 PM EDT. After that, it's a poor time to shop or make important decisions for the rest of the day.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's hard to know who to put first today --home and family, or your career and your professional interests. However, you should probably focus strongly on family and your domestic scene because that is where your focus is for the entire year. (Yup.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be extra careful driving, jogging, cycling and using pogo sticks. Today's Full Moon stresses all your communication and transportation angles. Because of this, you are slightly accident-prone today. If you are aware of this, you might prevent a mishap.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today's Full Moon might produce money angst for you. You have to balance your needs and wants with the needs and wants of somebody else. Yes, it's a drag. But maturity is all about achieving this kind of balance. (Immaturity always demands instant gratification.) Waaa!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today's Full Moon is directly opposite your sign. Sure, you're going to feel this. Not only are you part of this dynamic, but the Moon is your ruler. It just means that others make greater demands on you than you wish they would. (Go away.) It's an emotional tug-of-war. You ... me? Me ... you?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You find it easy to sublimate your own desires and needs in order to please or help or support others. Today your ego is relatively soft. We're not talking enlightenment per se, but you're looking good. You see that it is truly a joy to labour for those you love. Gosh.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be diplomatic with friends. All dealings with group activities, conferences and casual acquaintances might be a tad stressed today. Consider this an opportunity to practice patience. After all, you can't practice patience when everything is hunky dory, right?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a terrible day to confront bosses, parents, VIPs -- even the police. Don't argue with the big boys. This includes Mom. Today's full Moon increases stress in all domestic situations and exchanges with authority figures. Forewarned is forearmed. Step back a bit....

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Like Taurus, you have to be careful driving and walking today. The conditions around you are slightly accident-prone. Conflict with siblings and relatives is also likely. Slip out somewhere for an iced coffee. Take this paper and do the crossword.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You're trying to achieve a balance between the values of somebody else and your own values. You want to recognize where others are coming from, but at the same time, you don't want to sell out. This is always a hard line to walk. Fortunately, you're wise.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today's Full Moon is in your sign. It represents a kind of culmination of things. After all, you are stepping out onto the big, wide, world stage this year. (What will you wear?) Be patient today. Respond with grace and diplomacy to everything around you. (You can scream in the car, later.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might feel dissatisfied with your state of health, or your body, or something like that. That's because today's Full Moon focuses on health and hygiene factors, as well as everything to do with small pets and employment. Curious combination. (I don't make up this stuff I only study it.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will definitely need to be extra patient with children today. The same goes with romantic interests and lovers. Today's Full Moon bring stress to these areas in your life. Do not let artistic projects discourage you. (You're as wonderful as you ever were.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Patrick Stewart (b. 1940) shares your birthday. You are a daring adventurer at heart. Slow beginnings and false starts never set you back. Your ability to continue to pursue your goal is what brings you success in life. You trust your risk-taking instincts. Expect solitude this year for study, reading and learning things.
