Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions all day today until 9:15 p.m. EDT.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Be careful of initiating new decisions today. This is a poor day to shop or buy items for your home and family. Naturally, you can buy food. But if you buy anything else, you probably won't use it much. Work on creative projects or hobbies. (This is a good choice.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Communications with others are fuzzy today. Just cope as best you can. Don't make promises or commitments. Don't do deals. This is also not a good day to shop (except for food.) You continue to be confused about something at home or in your domestic sphere. Defend your rights.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This Mercury retrograde hits you where you live. Telephones, e-mail, cell phones, communications with others (especially siblings) and all kinds of transportation situations are subject to delays and confusion. Cheques in the mail are late. Don't shop today. Creative writing is a great choice.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The Moon is in your sign today; however, it's void of course. (Making no aspects to anything.) Therefore, you feel like a helium balloon floating adrift. This is great for creativity and pie-in-the-sky thinking. But it's a lousy day for big decisions and expenditures. Capice?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Something is gnawing away at you. You're not even be sure what it is. It's a form of doubt or some a feeling of powerlessness or inadequacy. And here it's your birthday month! What gives? Relax. Since things are confusing, abide by Pandora's Rule: Never open a box you didn't close.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Because the planet that rules you (Mercury) is under celestial attack (one could say) you have to take things gently. Think before you speak. Think before you act. Allow extra time for everything. Don't push the river. Don't play the long shot. Measure twice, cut once. Remember?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
When things are confusing with others, you're unsettled. Since this is a poor day to discuss anything important with authority figures, parents or teachers -- just keep it light. Enjoy conversations with coworkers at lunch (where truth is stranger than fiction.) Avoid making promises.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Since this is a poor day for important decisions, it's not the time to sit down and hash things out with a partner. You're getting a clearer picture about what is working in your life and what is not. You enjoy some successes; you have to let other things go. Partners have to understand this.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The most important thing to watch out for now is your ability to talk yourself into something even if it's not a good idea. Shee! You're very convincing! Publishing, the media, dealing with foreign countries, higher education, medicine and the law are tricky right now. Don't act today.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Don't make important decisions about other people's wealth or possessions or anything you share with someone else. Not today. Just enjoy the company of others. A priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this -- some kind of joke?"
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
It's kinda spacey at work today. Brace yourself. Creative work can go well. However, regular routine stuff will suffer from delays, goof ups and staff shortages. It's no big deal if you're patient and you have a sense of humour. (And you do.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This can be wonderfully creative day for you. You're thinking out of the box. Trust your harebrained ideas -- they could be ingenious! Enjoy romance, playful times with children and the arts. Don't spend money today except for food and minor entertainment.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Home-making icon Martha Stewart (1941) shares your birthday. You're genuine; and you're genuine about your high ideals. You practice what you preach, which makes you an excellent role model for others. You feel responsible for things. People know they can count on you. This year you will let go of things and people because you're streamlining for your future.
