Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions all day. The Moon is in Taurus. (However, it's a fun-loving, goofy day!)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day. You're focused on money, cash flow, earnings and possessions, which could include shopping. The trick is this: Even though this is where your focus is - it's a poor day to spend money on anything other than food. Hmmm. Sorry.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign boosting your emotional energy and attracting good fortune your way. It's a great day to schmooze and enjoy the company of loved ones. But it's a poor day to make important decisions, spend money or volunteer for anything. Got it?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week starts off low-key. Yes, you've been partying, socializing and enjoying sports and playful times with kids. Today it's back to business as usual. However, we have a Moon Alert all day, which means you have to avoid important decisions. (See above.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a great day to schmooze, especially in groups. You'll enjoy talking to female acquaintances. Tell them your hopes and dreams for the future because their feedback might help you. However, don't make important decisions today. And don't shop.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For some reason, personal details about your private life might be public today. Your name is on the lips of others, especially if they are in power. (Let's hope this is good.) Don't volunteer for anything today or agree to anything important. Wait until tomorrow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're restless! You want to do something different because you're eager for adventure and you want to learn something new. This is a great day to push the sides of the envelope and explore new ideas. However, wait until tomorrow to act or decide.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because you're focused on financial matters, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property, be aware this is a poor day to make important decisions. It's also a poor day to make major purchases. Just get information and fill your databank.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a spacey day. For starters, the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to be accommodating and go more than halfway when dealing with others. Secondly, there's a Moon Alert all day. So avoid shopping, important agreements and important decisions. But it can still be a fun day!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have to put the wants and needs of others before your own today, which is not a big deal. In fact, you'll enjoy an opportunity to be of service to others. That's what today's energy is all about. But do read the Moon Alert above!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a fabulous, creative day for artists or anyone working on creative projects. It's also great day to flirt, party, schmooze, enjoy playful times with kids and be involved in sports. You feel enthusiastic and ready to try anything. Enjoy your day! (Read the Moon Alert above.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Family issues cannot be avoided today. Conversations with female family members could be significant. This is a good day to hide at home and putter around the place if you can do this. (Most people have to go to work.) Enjoy today and be aware of the warning of the Moon Alert above.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today is full of minor delays and shortages - par for the course. It's a Moon Alert, which is a wonderful creative, social influence but a poor influence for business and linear, practical decision-making. Don't shop. Just keep to business as usual.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer/songwriter Bruce Springsteen (1949) shares your birthday today. You are adventurous. A recurring theme in your life is your tendency to break boundaries, rules and restrictions. You need to be free to do your own thing. Some of you benefit others by being a role model in a drive for freedom. People find you seductive and charming. This year partnerships and close friendships will be more important to you than usual.
