Moon Alert
We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Conflict with family members, especially parents, can arise very easily today. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Therefore, tread carefully. Remember that you have a short fuse. Fortunately, your anger is like a firecracker - a flash and then it's gone. (Cool your jets.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Resist the urge to tell someone off today, because this is really not your style. Nevertheless, heated arguments with others, especially siblings and relatives, might suddenly erupt. People feel emotional and they are quick to send back a stinging retort. Yes, it's that kinda day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Quarrels about money, cash flow or possessions might take place today. Possibly these conflicts are work-related. Either way, anger serves no purpose except to make everyone miserable, right? So for your own peace of mind and happiness, bite your tongue. Think twice before you speak.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Fiery Mars is in your sign and at odds with the Moon in Aries today. Run for cover! Hasty words, rash actions and a general mood of irritability can make it difficult dealing with others today. (And you know how easily your feelings get hurt.) Avoid this kind of thing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might be doing a slow boil about something. You feel really irritated and yet, you can't say anything because it will all sound too petty. (Leo's don't do petty. It's beneath you.) Oh yes, you can think petty (and you hate yourself for it) but you're not going to actually open your mouth! Puleeze.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be very careful in all group settings today, whether they are casual coffee klatches, work meetings or large conferences. You might find yourself in a competitive or combative relationship in a New York minute. Someone is peeved, you respond, and the battle is on! (Don't even go there.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Don't let your ambition create conflict between you and others, especially authority figures. There's no point in winning the battle but losing the war. Furthermore, conflict upsets you. You like to get along and you don't want to rock the boat. Keep things on an even keel today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Avoid discussions about politics, religion, racial issues as well as publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Well, that covers everything except travel and travel is part of this as well. People are argumentative today! Furthermore, they are eager to proselytize. Run away! Run away!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be gentle dealing with others today because conflicts will easily arise, especially in discussions about inheritances, taxes, debt, shared property and insurance matters. Knowing this ahead of time, you can avoid nastiness. Tomorrow is a much better day for these discussions.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Difficulties with partners and close friends will arise very easily today because people are irritable, short tempered and emotionally heated. Therefore, if provoked, they will react! Naturally, this includes you. Knowing this ahead of time, you can sidestep all of this with grace and dare we say - smugness?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Difficulties with coworkers might take place simply because many people are looking for a fight today. No fun. This will not make your day better. (Au contraire!) Therefore, if you see this sort of thing heading your way - run in the other direction. Keep the peace for your own happiness.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Be patient with children today. Similarly, be patient with romantic partners as well. Because tempers can fly easily, this is an accident-prone day with children and with anything related to sports. Caution! (This includes verbal as well as physical accidents.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor/director Sean Penn (1960) shares your birthday today. You're theatrical, but down to earth. You tell it like it is and you're not afraid to shock. You're a curious combination of quiet and solitary, and in a flash - explosive! You won't back down from an argument. People always find you charming. In fact, this year they will find you particularly charming because partnerships will be your primary focus.
