Moon Alert
Caution: from 7:45 a.m. until 5:20 p.m. EDT today -- avoid shopping or making important decisions.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your efforts to secure your home base might produce tension and conflict at home or within your family. Make sure that you're part of the solution and not part of the problem. A big part of maturity is handling irritations with stoicism and acceptance. Wanna grow up?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might be reading, writing or even taking short trips more than usual now and in the next few weeks. You're mentally and physically on the go, as it were. It's a good time for salespeople, teachers and those who need communication skills on their job. (Most do.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You can count on spending more money in the immediate future. There's things you want to do; and there's especially things you want to do that cost money. Fortunately, you're also coming up with some good moneymaking schemes as well. (Lots of activity with cash!)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today Mars moves into your sign. Because Mars rules the muscles, it's important for you to get more exercise than usual. If you don't do this, this energy will build up within you and make you irritable and short with others. (But mostly it makes you bold and daring for weeks to come!)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Many of you feel burned-out about things. You've got a lot on your plate. Because of this, immature, knee-jerk reactions that were probably learned when you were a kid might now come out again. But you're not a kid anymore. (Unless you're eleven.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Increased activities with groups plus physical sports are definitely on the agenda in the next month to six weeks. You're raring to go.!You might also feel a bit competitive with a friend. You feel you have to prove something. Well, the question is -- do you?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your ambition is aroused. Since you're in touch with what you can really achieve in the world, now you know what you want to try for. This is good. Failure is not the lack of success of something; it's the lack of trying in the first place. All you can do is give it your best shot. But do give it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You're thrilled with travel, study and doing anything that is out of the ordinary now. That's because you want to expand your world. You're greedy for life. That's fine. Something has to stir within us to make us to reach out for anything new. It's part of the process of growth.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You're quite a flirtatious sign. (You pretend it's just being friendly.) Your desire to flirt will certainly increase in the next month. Actually, some of these flirtations could bear fruit. Who knows? (The Shadow knows.) Disagreements about shared property and possessions are also likely.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Mars has just moved opposite your sign. That's why people seem to be disagreeable now. It's actually your own perception of things. You might use this energy to put your cards on the table and air your grievances. (Nicely.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
It's most appropriate now that you give thought to your domestic nest. You need to make sure that things are running smoothly at home. Your home is your refuge from the world. It is the place from which you sally forth to slay your dragons. Give yourself what you need.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You have something you want to say to others right now. This might be in the broad sense: "Hello world!" Or it might be a private conversation with a sibling or relative. Say what needs to be said. ("Nuff said.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
