Moon Alert

We have the All Clear today to shop and make important decisions.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For a variety of reasons, people notice you more in the next few weeks. You might be singled out for increased responsibilities or special honours. You don't have to be a flagpole sitter to suddenly get attention. Because this is happening -- look your best.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Try to indulge your increasing need for travel and a change of scenery. You want more thrills in your life! You want to ponder lofty subjects, and view grandiose vistas. At the very least, you want to sample the delicious wares of other cultures. Yum, yum.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You'll have to roll up your sleeves and figure out what you owe someone or how much your share of something is. Everything to do with the joint ownership of things and shared responsibilities comes to a head now. It's boring red tape stuff -- but you gotta nail it down.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You need more rest now! The Sun is presently as far away from your sign as it gets all year. The Sun has a lot to do with our energy and vigor. You're getting a weaker hit of it, therefore you have to compensate by getting more rest and relaxation. (Peel me another grape, will you?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're so excited about life now you're determined to be organized and get everything ticketyboo. You want a clean desk, a clean bedroom, and an up-to-date address book. You want to feel that you're Master of your universe. Or Mistress. (Even more deadly powerful.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Is that a rose I see clenched between your teeth? You're obviously looking for passionate, distracting romance. You want to flick your head in reckless abandon as you chase off after the subject of your panting affection. (Yeah, we all want to be in an old movie now and then.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Family is back on your doorstep again. Oh well, it's a great excuse to clean things and rearrange the furniture. (If nobody visited me, I'd be buried in dust balls.) You'll have a strong focus on family and domestic activities in the month ahead.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Busy, busy you! The tempo of your daily pace will accelerate now for the next few weeks. Suddenly, you've got places to go, people to see, things to do. Furthermore, glitches, delays and silly mistakes add confusion to the pot. Allow extra time for everything you do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You're thinking a lot about your cash flow in the next few weeks. Partly, you're wondering about your job and what you should do to earn a living. And partly, you're wondering if you have enough money to swing something. (You've got ideas.) I think you'll be successful.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It's all about you now, dear Capricorn. The Sun is in your sign -- unfortunately, so is retrograde Mercury! This could mean that some of your slipups or goofy errors are more public. Yikes! Don't worry; retrograde Mercury affects everybody -- not just you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

As Venus slips into your sign now, you find you're more charming and diplomatic. Everyone loves you. You're the perfect friend, arbitrator and adviser. You're in the right place, saying the right thing, to the right person, at the right time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your popularity rating starts to soar now! Pencil in time for lunches, movies, fun evenings, coffee conversations, clubs and organizations and good times spent with friends. People want to see you. On top of that, you're running into old pals. (Buy new shoes; this makes you feel great and confident.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Kiefer Sutherland (b.1966) shares your birthday. You're extremely strong willed. You also relate to your environment in a very physical way; nevertheless, you're also intuitive. Because of this you can accomplish much. You guard your privacy. You know the power of silence. Important choices face you in the year ahead. Choose wisely
