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 Leo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Family relations are polite, considerate and rather careful today. In particular, you might enjoy the company of someone older. If shopping today, you'll buy beautiful things for your home that are probably antiques or items that will last a long time. (They're probably practical, too.) Great day for real estate.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might meet a new acquaintance or friend today who is older, richer, wiser or more experienced than you. This is probably an auspicious connection and should be valued and respected. Some of you might fall in love with someone older than you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is an especially good day for any kind of business or commerce. Not only will your business dealings go well, you have a good eye for what is practical and doable today. Listen to the advice of anyone older or more experienced. "Buy low, sell high."
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment. Furthermore, others cannot read your mind! Therefore, choose this day to quietly express what you expect from a relationship, or where your boundaries are, or what your concerns are. Try it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Solitude in beautiful surroundings will please you today. If you have some privacy, you'll enjoy making long-range plans for the future. Get comfortable, peel a few grapes and curl up with your favorite book or video. "More tea, anyone?"
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A friendship with someone older or more experienced or worldly than you might begin today. Or possibly, you simply encounter someone like this who gives you advice. Alternatively, you might be the older person who is giving advice to someone else. It's all good.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
It's very easy to get along with others today. You're in an extremely co-operative mood. In fact, today it seems like the standards of the group should come before your own, which is not always the case (nor should it be.) Someone older than you might show you affection or vice versa.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
What a wonderful day to make travel plans for the future! It's also a great day to plan educational opportunities or sign up for a course. Look for ways to advance your cause in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. It's a great day for some solid business!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You have a strong sense of duty and obligation today. Primarily, you're concerned with practical matters. But this is not a frenzied concern. Quite the opposite -- you feel quietly content and in charge of what you have to take care of. And it feels good!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're in a reasonable, polite frame of mind today. Because of this, your conversations with partners and close friends will correspondingly be reasonable and polite. That's why this is an excellent day to discuss important matters. A dash of reason and a tablespoon of courtesy make all the difference!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Not only is it easy to perform your duties and obligations at work; today, you actually feel gratified by having an opportunity to be of service to others. Meeting their needs is your own reward. Yes, you're on a Mother Teresa kick (which is a good thing)! It's a joy to labour for those you love.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a wonderful day for any kind of creative activity. You have the patience, discipline and focus that is necessary to do a good job. You're also willing to practice to learn a particular technique. Similarly, it's a great day to teach children.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Former US President Bill Clinton (1946) shares your birthday today. You exude confidence when others meet you. (And you are confident!) You enjoy the company of others; and you enjoy your popularity. You're very careful about revealing information about yourself. Despite your friendly exterior, you're actually very private. No matter what you do, you invariably end up having influence over others. Your year ahead will focus deeply on partnerships and close friendships.
