Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. EDT today
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is the part where the party of the first part refuses to agree with the party of the second part. That means that for the most part, this is a pretty goofy day. But goofy days offer wonderful creative possibilities! (The trick of great art is knowing when to stop.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You woke up feeling relatively productive. Maybe you even made your bed and did the dishes. But that's about it. As the day unravels (and believe me, it unravels not unfolds) you feel an increasing desire to sit in front of the boob tube and veg out with junk food. Sigh.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This can actually be a creative day for writers, creative types and con artists. Mentally and verbally speaking -- anything is possible. Your mind is all over the map. But this means that your imagination is hot! Tell a friend a story. Guard against minor accidents.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Check with All Signs above before shopping or making any important financial decisions today. Sure you can buy a few things at a dollar store. (But have you noticed that a dollar store has very few things for a dollar?) You want value for your money. Guard your cash.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Things feel a bit loosey-goosey today. Therefore, don't push the river. Go with the flow. Participate in creative activities. Your ability to think out-of-the-box is wonderful today. Nevertheless, you're a bit like helium balloon adrift in the smog high above the city. Enjoy the view.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Don't agree to important issues at work today. And don't volunteer for anything. Today is a bit of a crapshoot. Who knows how it will turn out? For starters, is this a comedy or a drama? That's the first thing to figure out. Just hang with the herd and keep running.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You might be tempted to jump on somebody's bandwagon today. Someone could sound very convincing. Especially on TV. Cover your ears and your eyes. You're not getting a clear picture. Therefore, avoid important decisions. Agree to nothing. (Are those garlic dills?)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Resist your knee-jerk reaction to please authority figures today. This includes Mom. If you plumb the depths of your soul to ascertain your true feelings about something -- you'll find you don't know! How can you know what to do when you're confused? Exactly. (I rest my handbag.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Don't lock into any important plans related to publishing, foreign countries, the media, higher education, medicine or the law. All is dubious. Just observe. Fill your databank. But it's okay to have a fun adventure today. Just keep things light and pleasant.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is not a good day to divide something. It's not a good day to share things and decide who gets what and when. The potential for confusion is high. Just bide your time. Next week is a much better week to get a realistic picture of what you should really do.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Don't pretend you know something if you don't. (This is your bete-noir.) (Mine is pretending I don't know something when I do. I have my reasons.) Wait until next week to come to any important agreements with partners (ex or otherwise) and close friends. You'll be glad you did.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It's quite a fuzzy day at work. Just do whatever it takes to keep up appearances. Hide this column behind the financial section. Smile a lot and agree to nothing. Don't be judgmental about others. No one else knows what's going on either.
If Your Birthday Is Today
TV journalist Bryant Gumbel (1948) shares your birthday. You're practical, reliable, capable and very street smart. You know how to do things. You don't kid yourself. Many of you have excellent technical skills. All of you are intense. This year you will move on from something you've been involved with for roughly a decade. Time for a change.
