Moon Alert

after 7:30 AM EDT today, we have the "all clear" to do business. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day. Some will experience a breakdown in a relationship, especially with an authority figure. Ego conflicts will occur because you feel so passionately about something! You demand recognition or you want to get your own way. Yikes. Easy does it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel an increasing sense a power right now, which could get out of hand. It's true: Power corrupts; and absolute power is necessary because hey, we need electricity. Don't get carried away with your obsessive wants and demands. Eh wot?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Friendships are tricky today. You might interact with someone in a very intense way. It might even be a passionate, intimate way. However, this same intensity could cause a break in the relationship. Try to keep things light and don't make demands on others. Just for today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day for important discussions with authority figures - parents, bosses, VIPs, teachers and the police. If you push too hard, there will be such dissension you might create an irreparable rift. Or you might decide to quit your job or you might lose your respect for someone. (Sigh.) Stay calm.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Do not proselytize or convince others to agree with your views on politics, religion or racial issues because this is exactly what you're tempted to do! It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. These kinds of issues are rarely logical. They are emotional and generally learned from our youth.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Discussions about inheritances and shared property will be passionate and intense today. They might even trigger a parting of the ways. On the other hand (you have different fingers), intimate relationships will be memorable, hot and sexy! (Great diary fodder if you had time to write.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Emotional relationships today are so intense they might break down. It's important to recognize that relationships are constantly changing. They're like an accordion: they get closer, then they get farther apart, then they get closer and so on. Relationships are alive. They grow but they also die.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your efforts to make improvements at work might meet with resistance. This is because people invariably resist change. Because people feel so intensely about things today, don't be pushy. Discuss what needs to be done so that they are part of the decision.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Romantic relationships are powerful today! However, they might suffer from jealousy or too many demands. You can use today to examine your own role in the relationship. Remember - you can't change anyone else. You can only change yourself. (I'm still XL.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions are pretty intense today. This could be because you are determined to make improvements and you intend to get your way. If you make a big deal about things, you could create a serious rift. Hey, when the annals of history are written, will any of this really matter?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You're coming on like gangbusters today when talking to others, especially neighbours, relatives and siblings. You can be intense without even realizing it. Lighten up to stay on good terms with others. People don't want blow-your-hair-back discussions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial matters seem important today. This could be because of a dispute about earnings or cash flow. Or perhaps, you are intent on buying something? Whatever the case, take a step back and allow some breathing space into the situation. Don't be pushy.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Sebastian de Souza (1993) shares your birthday today. Not only do you have skill and talent, you also have patience and discipline. This is why you set difficult goals for yourself and attain them. Finally! The year you have been waiting for. Expansion and great activity are yours! Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It's time to test your future!
