Moon Alert
Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions all day today. Yikes!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Parents must be patient with children today. Lovers must be patient with each other. And those who block felt hats in southern Bavaria must be patient with those in the North. It's easy to get snippy. But how petty! (And what if you need to borrow a twenty later?)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Avoid domestic arguments today. You'll be tempted to get embroiled in some kind of debate or shouting match with a family member, possibly a parent. This serves nothing. Anger has no function except to make everyone around you miserable. And it makes you miserable too.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
If you feel that others are taking potshots at you behind your back, you might be right. Therefore, defend yourself. (At least get out of their line of fire.) Nevertheless, keep to the high road. When others are nasty, it's tempting to slide down to their level. Don't do it. If you do -- you lose.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Arguments about possessions and finances are likely today with friends and groups. This seems to be something where people cannot see eye to eye -- not even nose to nose -- forget about mouth to mouth! (Those were the days.) Step back. Try to get a bigger perspective of things.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be patient with parents, bosses and authority figures today. (This includes the police.) You're ready to take anyone on. However, don't be foolish. What do you have to gain by shouting? You'll simply lose your dignity and the respect of others. (Instead, snicker quietly to yourself.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
There's strong energy out there today! The most positive way to use it is to do research and work by yourself. If you do this, you'll accomplish a lot. Alternatively, you could become worried, tense, nervous and get your belly in a rash. Doesn't sound good, does it?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Friends and groups are quarreling about joint possessions or the joint ownership of something. It's all very sad. We all know that the government and the banks own everything. Although, I think the Boy Scouts have land up North. Avoid petty squabbles. Just watch and listen.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You're tempted to get in a major conflict with authority figures and bosses today. (Possibly a parent, although that's not quickly apparent.) It's best to say nothing. You identify too strongly with your own beliefs right now. And anyhow, nobody's listening! Zip your lip.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Passionate, philosophical, religious and political arguments could ruin your day. These will likely take place where you work. Why alienate coworkers? You have to see them every Monday. That's when you need all the support you can get. Especially if you're a Friday person!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Conflict and disputes about wills, inheritances, shared property, and the joint ownership of something are likely now. This is not a pretty picture. The irony is that in the distant future, this will all ridiculously petty. (Then again, you could be talking about a diamond mine.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Quarrels with partners and close friends are inevitable today. Therefore, keep your distance. Since you know ahead of time (I hope you're reading this at breakfast) you can avoid this by simply vacating the premises. Go someplace else. Wait till the dust settles. (Because it will.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Disagreements with coworkers are likely today. Perhaps you're demanding your way; perhaps somebody else is. Either way, compromise looks impossible. Therefore, don't even try. Go off to a corner and finish your embroidery. This too shall pass. (With lots of water.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Director Tim Burton (1958) shares your birthday. You're quite sexy and colorful! (And you're not shy about it.) Nevertheless, you generally use your intellectual talents to get what you want. You're extremely charming when you want to be, and often have many love affairs. Others are sometimes surprised by your candor. Work hard this year for rewards in 2006.
