Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 2:30 AM until 4:45 PM EDT today. The Full Moon peaks in Capricorn at 2:40 AM EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs might surprise you today. Let's hope it's something like "You're hired!" as opposed to "You're fired." Whatever happens will make you feel restless, independent and possibly rebellious. Easy does it. Don't do anything you might regret later. "I'm tired!"

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Travel plans might suddenly change today. Appointments related to publishing, the law, medicine and higher education might be rescheduled or canceled. You might meet someone interesting from a different background. Perhaps an Italian lover. ("Vive sola?")

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Make friends with your bank account today. Stay on top of whatever is happening because a few surprises are likely. (Who wants to be overdrawn?) These surprises might also relate to the wealth or property of your partner. Could be anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Relations with partners and close friends are quite unpredictable today. Either party might want more space and more freedom; alternatively, you or the other person might do something that catches the other one off guard. People don't want to be restricted today. (Remember Evita! "I will return and I will be a million!")

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Technical glitches might be a hang-up at work today. Computer crashes and electronic failures might dog your steps. However, for others, new technology might transform your job. (Could go either way.) You have good ideas about how to introduce reforms or make improvements. Act on them.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Surprise flirtations could trigger love at first sight today. (Be still my beating heart.) Spontaneous social occasions might be very entertaining. However, parents should keep an eye on their children today because anything might happen. Be careful.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Surprise company might drop by today. (Stock the fridge with food and drink.) Alternatively, an expected guest might be a no-show. You might want to buy modern art or something high-tech for your home or a family member. It's an interesting day. Stay flexible. You might have to jump in either direction.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Because you're thinking out of the box today, it's easy to have bright, genius-like ideas. (You are a solutions-oriented sign.) This is an interesting day because you will likely meet new people and encounter new situations. Everything is quite fresh and unusual!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Keep an eye on your money today because you might lose money - or you might find it! Ditto for your possessions. More likely, you will come up with some money-making ideas. If shopping, check with the Moon Alert above. Keep your receipts in case you change your mind about a purchase.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You want some excitement today! This is why you might say provocative things just to stir the pot. (You want to see what happens.) Possibly, you will meet someone who is new and exciting? (That would be great.) You might also be attracted to technology.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The placement of the Moon today makes you restless. You feel like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, it's ugly and the wrong size.) Just go with the flow and be open to new suggestions. You're secretly eager for some adventure. And like Lola - what you want, you get!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today will be punctuated with tiny surprises from others, especially in meetings and groups. However, you might also meet a real character - someone who is bizarre, unorthodox or different in some way. It will give your day an interesting little lift. In fact, you might meet someone who causes you to change or alter your goals for the future.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor/director Forest Whitaker (1961) shares your birthday today. You have an unusual ability to influence others, and this can help you enormously. You're also very resourceful about using whatever is at hand. You believe in being useful to society. Indeed, many of you are generous! You feel a strong responsibility to family. Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life - so dream big!
