Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your interest in all kinds of intellectual activities will increase in the next two weeks. You're very eager to be heard by others. Fortunately, you're also willing to listen. You want to communicate to the world!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You can expect to be more concerned with business and commercial affairs than usual in the next month. You might be shopping more. Or you might be entering into business negotiations. You're likely give more thought to whatever it is you value in life as well. Hmmm.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today Mercury moves into your sign. (That's where it lives! It's right at home.) Your mind will be very busy, jumping from topic to topic almost simultaneously. It's a good time to talk to others because you can put a lot of yourself into whatever it is you have to say. (At least your whole left leg.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might feel more like going off by yourself to think or study or contemplate your naval in the next few weeks. For whatever reason, you feel like withdrawing from others. That's OK. You have things to ponder. You might also need to do some research. You'll work alone now very well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Now is the time to think about your goals and expectations of life. For starters, are your goals your own goals or the goals of somebody else? Like Mom or Dad? You might also be thinking about the goals of the group standards around you. Is this just a waste of time or is a meaningful activity? And where's the beer?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

For the next few weeks, Mercury is crossing over the top of your chart. This makes you think about your professional life and your life direction in general. It's a good time to talk to bosses, employers, or parents about anything. It's also a good time to take courses to improve your job.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Conversations about abstract ideas, philosophy, politics, religion and metaphysics will intrigue you now and in the next few weeks. You're keen to study or educate yourself in some way. In fact, any new and interesting phenomena will intrigue you. Look! A bright shiny object!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The next two weeks are a good time to tie up loose details with insurance matters, shared property, jointly held possessions, taxes and your responsibilities to others. It's rather boring, red tape stuff, but it's gotta be done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today Mercury moves directly opposite your sign where it will stay for the next few weeks. That means this is an excellent time to clarify issues with partners and close friends. It's also a good time for negotiations or to sign contracts. (You're paying attention.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You'll be able to tackle mental work that requires careful precision or attention to detail during the next two weeks. You're alert and on-the-job! In fact, you want everything to be as perfect as it can possibly be. Omigawd, you're singing, "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Expect to have more fun in the next few weeks. You feel playful and prankish. You'll pursue mental activities just for their own sake. Games, puzzles and watch out - Suduko! Enjoy flirtatious times, or playful activities with children.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Use the next few weeks to get busy at home. Throw some plants in some pots. Do minor repairs. Talk to family members. Attend to all those minor, little details that are normally nagging you, but you never have a time to address. Just do it.
