Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 1:15 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. EDT today. After that the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Expect to be more mentally playful in the next few weeks. You want to pursue mental activities for their own sake. Games, reading and schmoozing with others will be fun and entertaining. You'll also be prankish! You want to use your mind to have fun.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Communications with a parent or family member might be more significant in the next few weeks. Aside from that, you might have a time of intellectual withdrawal. This won't be negative; it's simply that you're more contemplative than usual.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your ruler Mercury is entering the part of your chart where it "lives." That makes the next few weeks a wonderful time for all kinds of intellectual activities, studies, conversations with others and taking short trips and just buzzing around. You've got things to do!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Quite likely, in the next few weeks you'll be more concerned with business and commercial affairs. You might even be shopping more than usual as well. Money issues and financial dealings will take up more time. Privately, you'll be thinking about what you really value in life. What really matters?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your mind is going to be increasingly busy in the next few weeks. You'll notice it jumping from subject to subject very rapidly. Don't worry, you're not losing it. It's just that Mercury has entered your own sign. This also has the effect of making you want to talk to everyone. Blah, blah, blah.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Conversations with others are tricky in the next few weeks. Be careful. Others could misunderstand you. You're best off working alone or doing study and research by yourself. However, if you're concerned about something, don't brood over it -- get it out into the open.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The next few weeks are a good time to think about your goals and expectations in life. For starters, are your goals your own goals or the goals of someone else? (It's easy to fall into this trap.) It's also a good time to examine your attitude toward groups and friends you're dealing with.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The next few weeks are great for making plans about your professional life or your life direction in general. You might also undertake training or studies that can help you in your job. Your communications with bosses and VIPs will be more important now. Focus on what your objectives really are.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You'll love it if you have a chance to explore any kind of study or further education in practically any area. You'll also be delighted if you can travel somewhere. That's because you're very eager to learn more about the world right now. You're hungry for answers!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Discussions and negotiations about finances, shared property, insurance matters, debt, taxes and the property of others will take up some of your time in the next few weeks. Quite likely, you will deal with people who have different values from yours.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today Mercury moves opposite your sign where it will stay for the next few weeks. That makes this an excellent time to clarify and explain things to partners and close friends. Put your cards on the table. You'll enjoy intellectual stimulation with others.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're gung ho to do all kinds of mental work now. You'll find it easy to study, write, edit, and do anything never acquires attention to detail. Your critical faculties are definitely sharpened. However, go easy on coworkers. Why alienate anyone?
