Moon alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
For some reason, you might emotionally identify with your possessions or whatever you value today. This will be the reason why you’ll be less willing to part with something you own or lend it to someone. Some of you might also find you have to defend yourself in areas where there is really nothing at stake. Go figure.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today the moon is in your sign, which happens for 2½ days every month. When it does, it can heighten your emotions and increase your need to belong and relate to friends and loved ones. What is nice to know is that when the moon is in your sign, your good fortune slightly improves. Bonus!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today the moon is hiding in your chart, which creates an urge in you to withdraw and keep your feelings to yourself. You’re not being antisocial. You just feel the need to have a little R&R and take it easy. Nevertheless, interactions with bosses and authority figures from the past are likely.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your connection with a friend will be deeper and more emotional today because the moon is passing through your House of Friendships. This makes you feel protective toward a friend and more supportive. You might even feel jealous if a friend pays more attention to someone else.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Once a month for 2½ days, the moon is at the top of your chart, which shines a light on your personal affairs. In other words, some people will know the details of your private life. (Like, what’s with that?) Do be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today you have a strong urge to get away from it all. Feelings of escapism are strong. If you can’t take a physical trip, perhaps you can take a mental trip through film or books? Enjoy discussions with people from other cultures and different countries.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today your emotions are more intense. In particular, you might feel possessive about a person, a relationship, or even something that you own. For that matter, you might desire something that belongs to someone else. “My precious!”
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today the moon is opposite your sign drawing your attention to your closest relationships. Be careful about knee-jerk reactions to others. Count to three before you react to anything so that you’re not being reactive. Instead, you are being responsive. Big difference.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Whatever happens today, you might find yourself in a position where you have to put the practical or emotional considerations of someone else before your own. This doesn’t mean you’re being a martyr. It probably means you’re being smart and considerate.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today you’re a Friday person caught in a Monday world. Social outings and romance appeal! Anything to do with the arts, the entertainment world, sports and playful activities with children will be fun choices. Enjoy your day!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the moon is sitting at the bottom of your chart, which means you are best served by finding ways to enjoy your own privacy. You want to escape from the busyness of the world around you and just relax and contemplate your navel.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you have a strong desire to express your feelings and ideas to someone at a very basic level. You want to be heard. You want to be understood. This is why you’ll avoid superficial conversations that are meaningless. Oh yeah.
If today is your birthday
Actor Christopher Walken (1943) shares your birthday. People like your calm and steady demeanor. You’re logical and in control of things around you. You’re also hard-working and determined. This is a year of learning and teaching. Take time to renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Explore philosophies that will give you a better self-awareness of who you are.
