Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Take it easy! This is a mildly accident prone day. Your mind is very busy and easily distracted. Siblings and relatives could surprise you. ("Here's the hundred I owe you.") Even the best laid plans could go awry. At least, it's not a boring day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keep an eye on your money today. You might find some; you might lose some. Spontaneous purchases and impulsive buying are likely. However, you might also come up with some bright, new, original ideas about how to earn more money. Write them down. Ka-ching!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You're fascinated by any bright, shiny object today. You'll definitely avoid boring people because you want something different - something intriguing and exciting. Today's tempo will be brisk; and you're up for anything. However, bosses, parents and teachers might surprise you. (Tread carefully.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You have to stay flexible today or else things might feel a bit nerve-racking. Today is the kind of day that's full of little surprises or upsets that could tax your nerves. Even your thinking could be a bit scattered. Be careful not to jump to rash decisions that are just half thought out.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Something unusual with friends or groups could occur today. Perhaps you'll meet someone who is different or a bit bizarre. Or perhaps someone you know will do something that's a bit unorthodox or surprising. Input or feedback from others might cause you to change or modify your goals.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Unexpected events will suddenly thrust you into the limelight for some reason today. Almost certainly, people will notice you even if only briefly. You'll also feel a bit rebellious when dealing with authority figures today. (You don't want anyone telling you what to do.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You want some excitement. Try doing something different or go someplace you've never been to before. Talk to people from different backgrounds. Learn something new. (Here's a curious but sad fact: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your financial or practical expectations from someone else might not turn out today. (Whaaat?) Be prepared for a few surprises here. Make friends with your bank account. Find out what's happening with credit cards and bouncing cheques. Is the posse out to get you?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's hard to second-guess close friends and partners today. Just when you think they will zig - they zag! A desire for independence and a feeling of wanting more space might also arise today with those who are close to you. But it's hard to know who needs the space -- you or them?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Expect disruptions to your work routine today, especially related to electronics, computers, or anything to do with aviation and airports. Let's throw in radio and radio stations as well. It's all a bit of a crapshoot. (Steady as she goes.) Actually, all technical equipment is very dicey.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Surprising flirtations could make your day. (Unless it's your sweetie winking at someone else.) Parents should keep track of their children today because everything is a bit loosey-goosey and unpredictable. However, entertaining events could be fun! (Or not.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The natives are restless today, especially at home. Be patient with family members. Hasty actions and movements could cause minor breakages. Electronic equipment or computers might be unreliable. (I'll ever forget the first time I tried to install virus protection , but I'm trying.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

39th U.S. President Jimmy Carter (1924) shares your birthday today. You are witty, daring and competitive. You easily assume leadership in any situation. Even though you have strong organizational skills, and you're persistent and hard working -- your charm and diplomacy win others to you. Nevertheless, you're surprisingly independent and strong willed! In the year ahead, your focus will be on partnerships and your closest friendships.
