Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions all day until 8:45 PM EDT. After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a seriously goofy day! Just accept this and cope as best you can. It's not a good day for important business, or major purchases, or anything like that. However, it's a great day to have fun, and goof off and be creative! Go figure.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others. Keep everything light, and do not volunteer for anything. Enjoy the company of groups. It's fine to banter ideas about, but do not agree to any important decisions today. Flirtatious discussions will intrigue you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Unfortunately, the authority people in your life (parents, teachers, VIPs, and the police) will continue to notice you today. But why? If it's for your creativity - great! (This is a creative day.) But it's also a day where people can make mistakes and suffer from shortages and bad decisions. Oops.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It might be hard to be productive today; but it's easy to cruise the Web, have long discussions with others about heady topics, or exchange ideas about travel, publishing and the media. It's hard to get serious about anything today! It's okay to just coast.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid important decisions about inheritances, shared property, and anything to do with taxes, debt or whatever you might own jointly with others. Ironically, you will be tempted to make decisions in these areas. Don't do it! They will only have to be changed later. Or worse, you could regret it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a very easy-going day when it comes to talking to partners and close friends. People are feeling sociable, and eager to discuss foreign countries, travel, and media gossip. But do not sign important contracts or agree to important decisions. Not today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Things are a bit dicey today because on one hand, you are definitely focused on work. But on the other hand (you have different fingers) everything is a bit wishy-washy, subject to delays and shortages, and everybody wants to just goof off! Don't worry about this. Just cope as best you can.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a wonderfully creative, playful day! Hopefully, you don't have to work too hard. (Although, if you are in a creative, artistic field - you can be productive!) Sports, romance, vacations, and playful times with children are your best options. Take a long lunch. Enjoy Happy Hour. Relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a gentle, easy-going day at home. If you can relax at home, by all means do so. Casual time spent with family members will please you. But it's a poor time to spend money (other than for food) or to agree to anything important. You're like a helium balloon floating in the sky today. Wheee!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You feel very intuitive today, sort of as if you are plugged into the universe. But this is an illusion! You might feel plugged in, but more likely, your mind is quite adrift. It's very easy to kid yourself today. Just carry on with business as usual.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Definitely avoid major financial transactions today. Similarly, avoid major expenditures. You cannot trust your impulses. It's okay to window shop, but do not sign on the dotted line because by tomorrow, things might look completely different to you. "Eric? Is that you?"

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Once again, the Moon is in your sign for most of today, but it's loosey-goosey. And that's why you feel a bit mushy, indecisive, and not sure what to do. It's a great day for creative, social, friendly activity.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Helena Bonham Carter (1966) shares your birthday today. You have a strong sense of honour. You believe in doing the right thing. You also have strong opinions, but you are willing to listen as well. Essentially, you need to have the freedom to do your own thing. You're very private about your personal life. This year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life! Dream big!
