Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Remember how 1996 was a new beginning for you? You have to take everything you've learned since then, then figure out where you're going to live, then combine these two to discover what you want to do with the rest of your life. It's really quite simple. Child's play actually.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Letting go of things and muddling through residential and job changes in the mid 90s, should have prepared you for the changes you face now. It's time a shift. Could be your job; could be where you live. It might even be how you talk to others.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Ever since 1987, you were out of the gate and running. By the turn-of-the-century, you felt confident about the direction you were headed. Now you have to give serious thought to the kind of work you want to do and the kind of money you want to earn.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It's been maddening for the last few years. Ever since 2001, in many ways, life's been a bum deal. (Not completely, because lucky Jupiter did go through your sign in 2001-02.) But life is a struggle now especially with respect to work. (It's a pity that one has to pay rent.) Patience.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

There's no question that many of you are dismantling what you have created for yourself since 1991. This definitely involves packing a few boxes. (Oh yeah.) You have to figure out what you can get along without now. What is excess? What is no longer relevant?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Ever since 2001, you've been flexing your muscles. Now, with lucky Jupiter in your sign, things go your way more easily. The gods are with you! Don't be afraid to go after what you want. (But things rarely come to one's door -- you do have to get dressed and go out and all that.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're at a certain point in a 30 your cycle where you see very clearly what is working and what is not in your life. This means it's a time of great responsibility. You have to make important choices. Fortunately, it's a good time to make choices because you're very powerful right now. (Go choose something.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The year 1999 was quite significant for you. It was a big year for relationships (either ending or beginning.) Now you're in training camp for a time of great achievement in the next few years. You're going to show the gang what you can really do. Don't let up; keep working!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Although 1994-95 was a time when you tried to solidify your home base, now you need to solidify your value system. You want to know what really matters in life. What's worth betting on? You don't want to be 87, and shaking your head because you bet on the wrong horse.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Wonderful employment changes are possible for you now. This rare Venus transit didn't take place for nothing! You have an excellent opportunity now to improve your job, your job description, and your relationship with your coworkers. Plus you can even make more money!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your creative abilities have never been this fabulous. Admit it. This Venus transit has triggered all kinds of talent to bubble forth. This talent is creative, athletic, or related to children. This Venus transit has also triggered true love for many of you. (Sigh.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your home scene is improving beautifully. Family relationships are warmer and more even-tempered. You're not going through as much Kleenex as you usually do. Your highs and lows (ecstasy and despair) are mellowing out somewhat. Thank the Lord!
