Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Political and religious arguments are highly likely today because you feel fervently about issues. If someone doesn't see things your way, you're not going to let it slide by. You want to enlighten others. But do you really know the truth? Can you even program your VCR?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It's very easy to feel territorial or jealous today - perhaps even envious. Hmm, have we left anything out? (There's always gluttony. That's a good one.) You want power and domain over everything you own or partly own or even hope to own one day. Yikes - isn't that pushing it a bit?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The word casual is not in your vocabulary today. Everything is black or white. Your exchanges with partners and close friends are intense. (And you want them to be.) One major downside to this is you might feel jealous or threatened by a third party. New infatuations are irresistible.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You're a practical, resourceful, thrifty and mechanical sign. That's why you often have very good ideas about how to improve things, cut costs and build a better mousetrap. Today you want co-workers to listen to your ideas (which are obviously superior.) But they might not. (Ouch.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you feel so ardent, so over the top about things you want to escape from your daily life through romance. Yes true love! (Does this sound like anything a Leo would want to do? (Ah, yes.) You might even create a problem so that you can passionately make up. (Oy vay.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You like to do things right. You strive to find the middle path. But now and then - John Wayne style - you gotta do what you gotta do. That's why you want your way at home or with family members. You know you're right. But do the ingrates listen? (Best to tread more lightly.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're clever with words; and very persuasive. Today you're invincible! You can market, teach, sell, promote and convince anyone to do anything. But at what cost? Is this clever or is this overkill? Be cooperative with siblings and neighbours. Listen to what they have to say.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're no stranger to feelings of obsession and compulsion, but even you have to loosen your collar today when it comes to making money and spending it. Resist impulse buying. You can't distinguish between wants and needs today. Whatever you want - you need it!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Fair Venus is lined up with Darth Vader Pluto today. Everything is passionate and intense. The buffers are off. You might fall hard and heavy for a passing acquaintance. (Actually they'll have to stand still for a second.) All your emotions have extraordinary force today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might get the feeling that your connection with a person or an event has a particularly fated quality to it. This could mark the beginning of something powerful and memorable in your life - like a new cable package.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Exchanges with pals take on an unusually profound tone today. You feel like you're hanging out with Obi Wan. (These are not the droids you're looking for.") Your involvement with groups seems to have long-term implications for you, for others, and for the Federation. (gulp)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Jealousy and intense feelings about someone who has it all (Angelina?) are smoldering somewhere on the back burners of your mind. Conversely someone might be jealous or envious of your relationships with a boss, parent or VIP. Secret love affairs could begin today. (My lisp ith sealed.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Julia Roberts (1967) shares your birthday. Because you have a fine mind, you can do complex things. Details never daunt you. You learn things quickly. Nevertheless, your outer mask is easy-going and friendly. Your intelligence never intimidates others. Get ready to wind something up this year. It's time to move on. A completely new path beckons to you.
