Moon Alert
After 9 a.m. EDT, we have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Be cautious today. As the day wears on, you'll feel increasingly confused by someone. In fact, this so-called confusion could be outright deceit. (And after all you did for them.) Avoid important decisions about children the arts, the entertainment world, and financial speculation. Be cool.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Something very confusing is in the picture at home, with family members and possibly with parents or authority figures. People from the past are back in your life. Be very careful. Someone could be stringing you a line. Whatever happens, you're not getting the strait goods about something.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're focused on money and possibly buying something today; however, discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbours are subject to misunderstandings, confusion and outright misrepresentation. Oy! If you think something is fishy -- then it is. Stay clear of messy negotiations.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The Moon is in your sign today; this is good. However, retrograde Mercury is starting to oppose fuzzy Neptune, and this takes place in your money house! Not good. Don't make important financial decisions today. Don't borrow money; don't lend money. Keep a low profile.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be careful. Mercury is retrograde in your sign. That's why you're losing or forgetting so many things. Old relationship issues open up again. Today and tomorrow, discussions with others are confusing. You have Vaseline on your lens! Don't expect more than someone can deliver.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Something sneaky or suspicious is going on. You might hear some gossip about someone. Or you might be the subject of this gossip! (Gulp.) Some kind of underhanded, behind the scenes activity is going on today. Don't get involved. If something is dicey or not kosher -- hands-off.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Old friends are back in your life again. However, you might be disappointed in someone. In all likelihood, your disappointment is because of unexpressed expectations, or an unrealistic expectation. Our friends are mere mortals like ourselves, fumbling around in the dark.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is not a good time to approach your boss, supervisor, teacher or parent about anything important. Today and tomorrow, discussions with authority figures are subject to confusion. Retrograde Mercury is already doing its thing; but to add an opposition to Neptune? Oy! Wait this one out.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Don't try to convince others to agree with you about religious, philosophical or political matters. It's not a good idea. You're probably preaching to the choir anyway. You might think people are interested in what you're saying, but you could be kidding yourself. (Painful but true.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Don't commit to anything in terms of promises, shared property, or accepting responsibilities. For some reason, you don't have the full picture. Your facts could be wrong, or somebody might actually mislead you. Hang back. (Why not save energy? Be apathetic.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is the classic day for misunderstandings with partners and close friends. Conversations are like two ships passing the night. ("Is that you Harry?") You definitely need more patience dealing with family members and domestic situations. The next six months test your patience!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Double-check everything at work before you make important decisions. Assume nothing. If you doubt something, look into it. If you think someone is not telling the truth, this could be the case. But you must also guard against your own confusion as well. Don't insist on getting your own way.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Musician Jerry Garcia (1942) shares your birthday. People are magnetized to you. You're entertaining, bright and very kind. You also have a lot of business savvy. You might have a number of careers in your life. One thing is certain -- you like to feel on top things at home. Expect increased solitude this year in order to learn something important.
