Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3 a.m. until 1 p.m. EDT today. After that the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're in good spirits. Both the Sun and the Moon urge playfulness, flirtations and social times with others. Sports events, the theatre, musical performances, movies and lighthearted times with children will appeal. But one cannot ignore, "I owe, I owe, off to work I go."
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It's tough getting up to go to work today. You would rather sleep or cocoon at home. In fact, that's what lucky Taurus natives are doing. You'll keep checking the fridge in case something delicious has miraculously materialized since the last time you looked. (Sigh.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Get ready for a fast-paced week full of errands, short trips and conversations with siblings and neighbours. You've got a lot to say and you intend to say it. Expect to study, read and write more. (Incorrigible punsters should not be incorriged.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have money and possessions on your mind today. Perhaps you're repairing, maintaining or cleaning something you own? You might also hold on to something because you don't want to lend it. (You feel defensive about your assets.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today both the Sun and the Moon are in your sign. (This happens only two days a year: today and tomorrow.) It's totally appropriate to put your own considerations before the wants of others. ("Sorry. Take a number.") Objectivity is tough today. Oh well.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You're hiding your light under a bushel today because both the Sun and the Moon are in a hidden part of your chart. Because of this, you might choose to work alone or behind the scenes. You might prefer quiet research and exploring secrets. You're playing it safe.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
A popular day! Enjoy schmoozing with others, which you always do anyhow. All group activities will appeal to you today. In particular, you'll enjoy discussing your hopes and dreams for the future with others to see what their input or feedback might be. Why not run them up the flag pole to see if anyone salutes?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
With the Sun high in your chart, people notice you - especially people in authority (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and please). But lo! What light from yonder skyscraper breaks? The Moon has joined the Sun revealing personal details about your private life. Oops.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Because you're restless and up for adventure, do something different. Be a tourist in your own city. Go someplace you've never been before. If you're having a routine day at work, do something different at lunch. Talk to people from different backgrounds. Shake it up!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Both the Sun and the Moon now grab your interest and channel it to red-tape matters about inheritances, insurance, banking, taxes, debt and anything to do with shared property. However, all is not boring. Your interest in sexual recreation is strong. Hmmm.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today both the Sun and Moon are opposite your sign, which means you have to compromise, accommodate and co-operate with others. Your focus is on partnerships, close friendships and important people in your life. Observe these relationships to learn how you can improve them.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're on a roll about getting better organized and this is a good thing. When everything is disorganized around you, it's madness! The more organized your environment is, the more organized you feel inside, right? And when you are totally organized, you can buy new shoes.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Astronaut Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) shares your birthday today. You have a calm, unflappable and rather noble persona. People are ready to respect you, especially because of your kindness. You're determined, focused and you follow through on your decisions. However, you need freedom of action so that you can move quickly once you know what you want to do. Exciting news: This year begins a fresh new cycle for you. Open any door!
