Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a good day to remind yourself how important your friends are to you. (Medical studies claim that friendship actually affects our health.) Share time with others today. In particular, share your dreams and hopes for the future with others because their feedback will help you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some people are happy and they just don't know it. And sometimes we have opportunities that we don't appreciate them until they leave us. This year you have many chances to improve your status among your peers and to boost your good name. Career opportunities also exist.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Chances to travel and get further education or training can broaden your experience of the world. There's so much you can learn this year! In particular, be open to learning about religion, philosophy, and metaphysics. Fascinating stuff!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will definitely benefit from the wealth and resources of others this year. You might do this through your partner who gets a raise or a bonus; or you might receive something directly through an inheritance, or money back from the government, or the direct assistance of a friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Many of you can improve your closest partnerships so much this year, you'll achieve a closeness and warmth and shared joy you thought was not possible. This is heady stuff! Learn how to be the best friend or partner that you can be. (Why be less?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Continue to look for ways to improve your job or to get a better job. If neither of these is an option, then you might have an opportunity to change your attitude to your job. I say this because according to the heavens your employment scene can really improve this year!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Plan for a vacation this year. It's party city for your sign. Love affairs, romance, sports, playful activities with children, social diversions and anything to do with the arts, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry are tops on your list for 2009.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The year 2009 is a wonderful year for real estate speculation or any kind of real estate change for you. You might improve where you live through renovations or new purchases. In the same way, family relationships will be more joyful and loving this year. ("Do you still have Granny's fudge recipe?")

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Many things have contributed to a more positive frame of mind this year for you. You have to admit this. You feel less fearful and more hopeful about life. It's a simple concept yet difficult to grasp -- your future begins now. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Without question, many of you are earning more money this year, or buying yourself more things so that your assets are increasing. Either way, you feel flush and fortunate. Naturally, this allows you feel more generous to others as well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Lots of wonderful opportunities are coming to you this year because lucky Jupiter is in your sign for all of 2009. When it leaves, it will not return for another 12 years. That's why you have to make the most of this. The heavens are helping you to accomplish something this year!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Many of you are more in touch with your spiritual side. You have strong, humanitarian impulses. You want to help those who are less fortunate. This attitude helps you settle agitated situations at home or within your family right now. One calm mind in the family helps all the other minds!
