Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Surprising events with the resources and wealth of others might impact you today. Someone might give you something. They might do a favour for you. They might let you use something they own. You might hear news about inheritances or money back in the government. Yay!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Partners and close friends will surprise you in some way today. They might say or do something. Or a casual friendship might suddenly heat up into something more committed. Or you might meet someone who is Bohemian or unusual. This is an interesting day!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your work routine will be interrupted today. It could be interrupted in a fun, pleasant way -- or it might be interrupted because of computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and canceled appointments. Could be anything. New faces are interesting. ("Is that a new nose?")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Unexpected flirtations will make your heart beat faster today. (Eyes across a crowded room and all that.) Spontaneous invitations to social events or theatrical occasions are fun. Ditto for sports. However, this could be an accident-prone day for your kids. Be vigilant.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Surprise company might drop by at home today. (OMG, the place is a mess!) Or expected company could be a no-show. Something unusual will occur. Might be exciting news. Or a small appliance might break down. Minor breakages could occur. Uncle Bob could be back on the sofa.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Take extra precaution today because this is an accident-prone day in a minor way. Do keep your eyes open. However, it's an upbeat day because new faces, new places, and new ideas are springing up everywhere. You can feel the buzz! ("I'm so clever.")

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something unpredictable might occur with your cash flow, your money scene, or your possessions. Therefore, keep your eyes open. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions against theft or loss. Spontaneous purchases are likely. (Keep your receipts.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Moon is in your sign today, and this makes you a bit more emotional. You certainly feel bold and adventurous! You're up for anything! In fact, you're full of inventive, original, bright ideas that you intend to introduce to everyone. Your energy is high. (Oh my.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You feel restless today. You're ready for change. If you could, you would be booking a flight somewhere and blowing town. Secretly, you want some adventure. You're having Walter Mitty daydreams. Because of this, you will shake up your routine today by doing something different.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Unusual friends might cross your path today. You might meet new people who are unusual or highly stimulating. In meetings or group situations, something unexpected will likely occur. Someone might say something or do something that is surprising. It's an exciting day!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

For some reason, some aspect of your private life will suddenly thrust you into the limelight, and bosses, parents, and teachers will notice you -- and they will learn more about you as well. This could be fun or embarrassing. Probably, you won't mind because you're pretty casual about this kind of thing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Unexpected opportunities to travel or to take a course or get further training or education in some way might drop in your lap today. Take note: your window of opportunity will be brief, so act quickly. You might also meet someone unusual from another background or different country. Publishing and the media will also hold surprises.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Author Mordecai Richler (1931-2001) shares your birthday today. Not only are you bright and intelligent, you display these qualities at an early age. You love to explore the unknown. You are also highly individualistic! You have a childlike exuberance for life, combined with a wonderful fantasy-like imagination. Your personal freedom is important to you. A major change will likely take place this year, perhaps something as significant as around 2001.
