Moon alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This morning you might be high visibility, but after the moon changes signs today, you’re interested in friendships, especially with people from the past who are back in touch with you again. These encounters might be in person, online or even in your dreams.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You want adventure this morning, and as this day progresses, people will notice you! Fortunately, you’ll make a positive impression on everyone. Meanwhile, your ability to research or discover secrets is uncanny. (Clever you.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Financial matters and shared property are your focus this morning. However, this red-tape stuff seems suffocating and you want to break free! This is why you might travel or do something different to shake things up a little. “Wazzup?”
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This morning you might have a discussion with a partner or close friend; however, very quickly your attention will shift to inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Someone might give you a financial favor or offer to help you. Meanwhile, discussions with parents and bosses will be direct.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A conversation with a partner, spouse or close friend might focus on travel plans or a fun getaway. Or perhaps your interest is with publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Whatever the case, this is an excellent time to wrap up old business, especially because someone might help you do this.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
In the early morning, you’ll feel playful and not too keen to work. However, later in the day, a chance to work with someone will appeal to you. In fact, a work-related relationship (or even a romance) might begin. People will help you. You’ll also feel more positive about your health. “I like me!”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today you’re a Friday person caught in a Monday world. Do whatever you can to have fun. Play hooky if possible. Meet friends for coffee, a long lunch, happy hour and look for opportunities to socialize and goof off. Sports and playful activities with kids will appeal. Your creative vibes are hot!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Work issues are challenging now because goofy mistakes, miscommunications, misplaced paperwork, late deliveries and staff shortages are challenging. (Groan.) Today you will focus more on your private world: home, family and possibly a female relative.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a fast-paced, fun-loving day! Enjoy creative, stimulating conversations with everyday contacts and people you know well. Romantic opportunities are also in the air. (Admittedly, old flames are back in the picture either literally or in your mind.) There’s a lot happening!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Family issues from the past are back on your plate. Relatives might be camped on your doorstep. These could be some reasons you’re focused on cash flow, earnings and your finances. However, it’s a great day to wrap up old business.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the moon moves into your sign to dance with fair Venus, which will heighten your interest in the arts, and encourage you to brainstorm creative ideas. You’ll be happy to socialize with others, especially siblings, relatives and daily contacts. One sweet blessing: You appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You’re in a playful mood; nevertheless, today you’re happy to keep a low profile and work alone or behind the scenes. You might be discouraged by financial matters that seem to be delayed. For example, checks in the mail might be late. Hang in there. It’s Mercury retrograde.
