Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 2 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. EST today. After that the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Some days you're out there flying your colours; and other days, it's tough just getting out of bed. The latter could be the case today. You just want to crawl back into bed, curl up in a fetal position, and turn your electric blanky to nine. Send out for dark chocolate.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Romance is in the toilet. Relations with children are challenging. Read my lips:, whatever is going on begins with you. You feel lonely or isolated from others. Because of this, you project your loneliness, and you think people are being distant with you. (Well, they probably are.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with family members, especially older family members, and most especially parents will be a bummer today. It'll be all that critical, limiting stuff. ("Don't be crazy! Why would you want to run away and join the circus?")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It's easy to fall into negative thinking today. It's just there, right beside you, like a yawning chasm. Something is bothering you, and you don't want to think about it; therefore, you're cut off from your feelings. (It's always darkest before it gets pitch black.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Money matters are tense today. Cheques in the mail are late. (Not the bills, however. Never the bills.) You're juggling financial matters as best you can, but it's tough not to drop something. (Did you read that article that says grouchy people can concentrate better?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It's easy to feel lonely and cut off from others today. Pessimism is rampant. Since all this is an attitude, it means that things are not as bad as they look! It all depends on which end of a telescope you're using. (If you have a telescope.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You do not feel ready to conquer world today. Au contraire. You didn't feel like getting out of bed! In fact, lucky Librans are still in bed reading this because someone brought you a late breakfast with the paper. I know this is fiction. That didn't happen today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Someone older or more experienced might be critical of you today. It's unfair. Just because they're having a bad day, they think they have to rain on your parade. Now everyone is having a bad day. Well, maybe not everyone. See if you can find somebody who's laughing and set them straight.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is not the day to ask authority figures for permission or approval for anything. You won't get it. They'll make you feel so low, you'll be looking up at their ankles. Don't even go there. Just hide a lot, and just look busy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A female might be the bearer of bad news about education, publishing, media, medicine, and the law. Some kind of religious teaching could instill feelings of guilt in you. Did you know that the origin of the word 'sin' simply means to miss the mark?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances, debt might discourage you today. People might be stingy with you. Something might discourage you. Just remember: "I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no iPod."

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Relations with partners are tough today because you feel cut off from people and they feel the same way. You would think that two lonely people would cling to each other, but not today. (Who wants to hangout with lonely people when you're one of them?)
