Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. EST today. After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Conversations with friends and groups will be enjoyable today because you're be talking a lot about "what if" and "what might be" for your future and the future of others. Although these exchanges lack in practicality, they are strong in vision, and what can be the best for all possible worlds.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Do not sign on the dotted line today, or count too much on whatever bosses, parents, teachers, and VIPs tell you. Well-meaning idealism might blur the reality of issues that impact you. Perhaps you yourself are fuzzy about something in discussions with bosses? It's hard to see the truth today.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because your appreciation of beauty is enhanced today, give yourself a chance to enjoy parks, wonderful buildings, beautiful architecture, art galleries, museums, and pristine nature. You will be inspired! Discussions about philosophy, religion, and ideas will be edifying.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don't give away the farm today. Your feelings of sympathy for those who have less, are admirable; nevertheless, your judgment when it comes to dividing things, or making important decisions about inheritances, or shared property is faulty. Forewarned is forearmed.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Either you or a partner or close friend will share a kind of mutual admiration society today. Or you might find that you both strongly endorse a worthy cause, and want to work together to help a charity or assist someone in need. It's good to do what you can.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your decisions at work, or related to your health, might be based on wishful thinking instead of the actual facts of reality. Mind you, wishful thinking is powerful because there's no denying that your mind creates your reality. But what kind of mind control do you have? Aye, there's the rub.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because you are in touch with your muse today, this is a fabulous day for any kind of creative activity. The arts can flourish! Your sense of the romantic is beyond beyond. (You adore your beloved!) Darling children are inspirational. It's one of those teary-eyed, marvelous days. (Sigh.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Family conversations are mutually sympathetic today. Loved ones are ready to help each other, or to listen sympathetically, or offer a shoulder or cry on. Nevertheless, despite all this feel-good connection at home, it's a poor day to make important, practical decisions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Expect to spend a lot of time daydreaming and wool gathering today. Your mind has "slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings." These flights of fancy could yield original, inventive ideas. Just don't act on them today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be careful with your money today. For starters, you're tempted to spend your hard earned cash on something impossibly elegant, gorgeous and expensive. However, you don't want to later regret this impulse, right? Therefore, wait a day or two, or at least, keep your receipts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your idealism is aroused today. You feel warm and fuzzy to others, and concern for Mother Earth as well. It's your nature to want to make the world a better place, and today, you're searching for ways to do this. (It's okay to have your head in the clouds, as long as your feet are firmly on the ground.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You're highly intuitive today! You can practically read the minds of others. Trust your gut instincts, and your judgment about people because you're in the zone. If you think something fishy is going on -- it is. And vice versa.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress/humanitarian Elizabeth Taylor (1932) shares your birthday today. You're extremely intuitive. You understand what makes people tick. In part, because your observations, you're empathetic, sympathetic and you want to help. You're interested in a wide variety of things. Invariably, people are attracted to you, almost magically. A major change could take place this year, perhaps as significant as around 2001. This is a fortunate year for you!
