Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4 AM until 8 AM EDT today. After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your day will not unfold as expected. Surprise events, new faces and new places will catch you by surprise. But do take note: This is an accident-prone day for you! Too much happenstance can push what is fun variety into sheer insanity. Easy does it!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keep an eye on your money today. If shopping, keep your receipts. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. Unpredictable financial matters can go either way; in other words, you might find money, you might lose money. You might also have wild, genius-like money-making ideas! Or not.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a day full of surprises. Stay on your toes and be ready to jump in any direction. You won't have trouble doing this because you are eager for action and ready for adventure. You want to learn something fresh and new, as well as meet new people. Don't rush things today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There is no question that some aspect of your day will be interrupted. Definitely. Allow lots of wiggle room for detours. Relationships might be dicey because people feel quite rebellious and impulsive today. Who knows what will happen? (Might be shocking.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Unexpected events will occur today, not the least of which might be shocking secrets that are suddenly out in the bright light of day. (Horrors!) Someone will be busted. On the other hand, surprising discoveries might be exciting. Who knows? ("Who was that masked man?")

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Expect to encounter a real oddball today. This person could be interesting, Bohemian or just "different." Alternatively, someone you know might do something that is defiant, shocking and rebellious. Groups might break up. Relationships might end. (Don't get even, get odd.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an extremely poor day to challenge bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs or the police. ("That way madness lies!") People are very hard to gauge today. You have no idea when someone might come out of their corner swinging. Naturally, this also applies to you. Don't quit your day job.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel plans might be canceled or rescheduled today. Ditto for anything to do with higher education. However, others will be surprised with a sudden opportunity for travel. It works both ways. Civil rights organizations will be particularly feisty! ("Save the Males!")

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or insurance matters. Too many variables! Anything could happen. Make friends with your bank account. Do your best to stay on top of your scene and do keep an eye on jointly held items.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Expect disruptions with partners and close friends. Canceled appointments, impulsive arguments, ridiculous suggestions or just shock and amazement are a few examples. Don't try to second-guess anyone today, especially anyone you know very well. ("Who would think she would do anything like this!")

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Those of you who are working today will have to be very flexible because canceled appointments, power outages, computer crashes, fire drills, staff shortages and unexpected events might blow you out of the water. (It's always darkest before it gets pitch black.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents must be extra vigilant about their children today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids or kids in your care. Romance is also in the toilet today. Everything is unpredictable and shaky. Nevertheless, creative output could be genius! ("On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, they're particles. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they're waves.")

If Your Birthday Is Today

Movie critic Roger Ebert (1942) shares your birthday today. You have an easy charm that endears others to you because you're playful and fun-loving. Nevertheless, you're focused on what you want in life. In particular, you have excellent money savvy. In your personal life, you make an excellent parent, and have a strong loyalty to family. This next year is the beginning of an exciting new cycle for you. Open any door!
