Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today. The Moon is in Leo today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Essentially, this is a fun-loving day. It's meant for fun, romance, the arts, sports and pleasant times with children. However, at one point (different times across the country) the Moon lines up with stern Saturn. This definitely dampens things. But it's brief! (Gone in a couple of hours.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Pay no attention to discouraging comments from parents or family members today. It's a putter around home kinda day. You're in the mood to work and get something done. But for a few hours, you might feel world-weary. Oy vey! It seems like you're the one who always does all the work. No fair!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have a tendency to worry too much today. It's not a big thing, but it's there. When I was twelve, I used to have this sign on my bedroom door: "Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere." Wanna petite pointe that?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you feel strapped for cash. The irony is that your financial situation was probably the same yesterday as it is today; nevertheless, you won't even splurge for a cappuccino. This cautionary feeling is gone by tomorrow! In fact, tomorrow, you're blowing money on kids and fun times! (What a difference a day makes.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you feel cut off and a bit lonely. Authority figures will get on your nerves. Don't worry about this. This feeling is gone by tomorrow. Curb your tongue. Be dignified with annoying people. No doubt they don't realize they're dealing with royalty. (Tedious, isn't it?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It's easy to feel insecure today. This is one of those days where the comments of others seem to confirm your worst fears about yourself. Aagghh. But it's not so! This is just your temporary bleak point of view. By tomorrow, things look completely different! (Would I kid you?)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Someone older or more experienced might have some good advice for you today. The only problem is, you might not want to hear it. That's the problem with good advice. It comes with so many strings attached it's like a mile wide fishing net.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents, authority figures and VIPs (yes, this includes your boss) are a bit stodgy or stern today. Someone could rain on your parade. Just show respect. That's what they want. Does it hurt to grovel a little? Think of the pay off. It's easier to get along.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel plans or matters connected with higher education, medicine and the law suddenly look less promising. Don't worry at all about this. This is just a temporary little glitch that will immediately disappear. Well, almost immediately. Give it a few hours.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You definitely take your responsibilities and obligations to others very seriously today. Because of this, you're very careful about shared property and how you handle the possessions of others. You won't overlook details today, that's for sure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Conversations with others are a bit serious today. Don't let this dampen your enthusiasm. The Moon is lined up with Saturn today and that gives a pessimistic overtone to everything. Fortunately, it lasts for only a few hours. (After that, you can roll on the ground laughing uncontrollably.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The best way to handle today is to just work hard. Focus on getting stuff done. Both the Moon and Saturn are sending you this message. Is it coming in loud and clear? Good. Tote that barge; lift that bale.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jennifer Aniston (1969) shares your birthday. You're very clever. Some of you have the mind of a genius. Not only are you an original thinker, you want to improve situations (both work and personal) around you. Freedom is a survival issue for you; nevertheless, you always help your friends. An important choice awaits you this year. Choose wisely.
