Moon alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 12:30 to 2:15 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Virgo into Libra. (The lunar eclipse peaks at 1:55 a.m.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Last night the lunar eclipse occurred, which means issues related to your job and your health will start to fall in place. Your desire to stay in control and manage every detail related to your world will soften. You’ll be more lighthearted, and life will become easier.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The dawning realization that you can’t control your kids (at least to the extent you had hoped) might be taking place. Likewise, the futility of power and control in a romantic relationship might also be apparent. Everything is relaxing after this full moon.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Power struggles with parents, bosses and authority figures might lighten up now because after the full moon peaked last night, the realization that you don’t have to control every detail is becoming obvious. Live and let live.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This has been a busy time, especially with publishing, social media, travel and dealing with other countries. Legal and medical matters have also been a focus. Starting today, you feel more realistic about what is possible, which makes you feel reassured.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Although you might have felt recent angst about money and possessions, these feelings have started to lessen. You realize that whatever is coming, you can handle it. Too often we look for external causes for happiness; but in truth, it is a decision of the mind. As simple as making the decision to be happy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have a sense of relief today after the lunar eclipse took place in your sign last night. You see that you don’t need to micromanage your relationships (as you might have tried to do in the past). In truth, this control was an illusion. Lighten up.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Recent angst you had about your work or your health will reduce beginning today because the lunar eclipse that took place last night will loosen your desire to try to control all aspects of your world. Relax. You’re here and you have survived.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You have felt challenges dealing with friends and groups lately. No question. In fact, these challenges have been increasing in the last few days. Fortunately, after the full moon peaked last night (depending on your time zone) many of these problems will fade away. This is a relief.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Relations with bosses, parents and authority figures have been dicey lately. It’s been hard to keep everyone happy. Fortunately, after the full moon last night (or early this morning) many of these difficulties will disappear. Basically, you see you don’t have to run the show. Let go.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Disputes about controversial issues have made life increasingly difficult for you. These distractions have impacted short trips and your ability to fulfill a busy schedule of appointments and errands. As of today, most of this “busyness” will lessen, and you will feel more relaxed and happier.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Money matters and issues related to your property and possessions have been a concern for you; however, today these concerns will become lighter. They might even disappear completely! (One can only hope.) It’s like you have done a turnabout and let go of unfulfilled desires.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Last night, the full moon was opposite your sign, which, in turn, created conflict with those who are closest to you, especially partners, spouses and friends. However, today you might already feel freer and more relaxed. This is a blessing.
