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 Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be patient this morning because you might be hot under the collar about something. (Whatever it is, you probably can't say anything, which is all the more frustrating.) Essentially, you have good ideas about how to improve things or make better uses of something. Hopefully, others will listen.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Clashes with children, friends and members of groups might occur this morning. However, if you apply a little patience to the situation, things will be easier all around. You might also meet someone powerful who has specific ideas and recommendations. Be ready for this.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Avoid clashes with parents and authority figures this morning. Later in the day, you can impress others with your cost-cutting, frugal ideas. You might also see new uses for a possession or better ways to approach something that is jointly owned (including debt and taxes).

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You're in the mood to study something or learn something new because you're attracted to knowledge today. You want a deeper grasp of something. Possibly, you will encounter a powerful teacher or someone from another background who has something to share.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

An annoying conversation this morning about shared property, shared possessions or how to share the cost of something might set you off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, you'll soon see genius-like ways to approach the situation. (You're so resourceful.) You might also learn how much someone else earns. (Whaaat?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Conversations with partners and close friends are a tad dicey this morning. People are quick to take offense or be competitive. Nevertheless, someone might have a great suggestion about improving a situation related to sports, children, the Arts, a social event or a vacation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Disagreements about getting organized or something related to your health might occur this morning. Fortunately, as if the day wears on, you become increasingly clever and resourceful about how to pull your life together. (You like things nice.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be patient with children and romantic partners this morning. This irritating moment will pass quickly (especially if you drink a lot of water.) Later, your resourcefulness about something related to the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, sports and social functions could impress others.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be patient with family members this morning, especially at breakfast. Squabbles in the morning could ruin your day. Instead, start to focus on new ways of making home improvements, especially to plumbing or laundry and bathroom areas.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid arguments this morning. (Who needs this?) Later in the day, you'll try to solve a mystery or get the goods on secrets and gossip. At the very least, you'll have a very candid discussion with siblings and relatives. ("Slip the juice to me, Bruce!")

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If you can gracefully deal with squabbles about money and possessions in the morning, you might be delighted to discover new sources of making money, as well as seeing new uses or applications for something you already own. (Yes, that water stand could double as a floor lamp.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign but it opposes fiery Mars. (This is how your day begins.) This can trigger accidents so guard against impulsive movements. It also threatens domestic peace, especially with partners. Later in the day, you might see ways to improve your appearance. (What's the scene with your summer shoes?)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Martin Lawrence (1965) shares your birthday today. You're a good friend to others because you're loyal, warmhearted and generous. You're also very down-to-earth and pragmatic about accepting whatever is on your plate. This quality, which you might take for granted, actually inspires others. You have the courage to go after what you want for yourself. In the year ahead, you will study or learn something very valuable. Be open to this.
