Moon Alert
After 1:30 a.m. Chicago time, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Double check financial issues, especially related to the wealth of others as well as your own finances. For example, check details related to mortgages, banking, inheritances and shared property because something unexpected might throw you for a loop. (Yikes!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Relations with spouses, partners and close friends are unpredictable today. That’s because you (or someone else) might spontaneously say or do something out of the blue. You might rebel against agreed-upon arrangements. You might also attract someone very unusual into your world. (Not a boring day.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You have strong emotions today because the moon is in your sign. Do be aware that issues related to your job, your health and your pet are up for grabs and completely unpredictable. Pet owners should be extra vigilant to avoid accidents. You might want to quit your job. Who knows?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Parents should be extra vigilant because today this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, romance might be on the rocks. Expect surprises and sudden interruptions. Likewise, social plans might suddenly change. Be aware this is the classic time for sports accidents, as well. It’s a crapshoot!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is full of unexpected arguments, sudden changes and delays. Your home routine might be interrupted. Issues with parents and bosses might take things in a new direction. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Stock the fridge so that you’re ready for anything.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day! Your daily plans might change. Siblings, neighbors and relatives might surprise you. Unexpected news might catch you off guard. New faces, new places and new ideas could excite you. Be alert.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Keep an eye on your money and finances because it’s a crapshoot today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be leery of investments. If shopping, keep your receipts — and the box.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today the sun in your sign opposes unpredictable Uranus, which will create surprises in your one-to-one encounters. An argument might erupt. People might do or say things that are radically different and unexpected. Someone might demand more freedom in the relationship? Guard against accidents.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You feel restless, as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. No doubt you will voice your feelings to someone; and some might even seek out shopping therapy because you’re interested in buying pretty things for yourself and others. Travel will appeal. Take things slowly today. Baby steps.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The energy today is unpredictable and impulsive, which is why you might be surprised by the words or actions of a friend or a member of a group. You might suddenly want to break free of this association. “These are not my people.” Think twice before you act.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Do not ask parents, bosses and authority figures for permission or approval today because their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand!” Relations with people in power are unpredictable. In turn, this could make you feel rebellious. (Don’t do anything you will later regret.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is an accident-prone day for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Go slowly and gently and be mindful. Steer clear of touchy subjects like politics and religion, because they could be explosive. Instead, focus on warm friendships. Stay chill.
If your birthday is today
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal (1977) shares your birthday. You are wise, perceptive and strong-willed. You are also sensuous, sensitive and highly intuitive. Above all, you are individualistic. This is a powerful year for you because you will get recognition. Expect a promotion, a raise, kudos, awards — some kind of acknowledgment for your efforts. Bravo!
