Moon alert
Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions until 6:15 p.m. Chicago time today. After that, the moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is the perfect day to kick back and relax at home or in surroundings that make you feel good. Some of you might choose to work from home. Others will putter, doing something to make your home look more attractive.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Although this is a poor day to make important decisions, sign documents or volunteer for anything, it’s a great day to schmooze! Enjoy talking to siblings, relatives and neighbors because this is a lighthearted day!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is full of contradictions. You’re interested in finances, cash flow and shopping. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, these are the things you should avoid. Instead, do your research and be ready to act tomorrow. You’ll be ahead of the game!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today the moon is in your sign dancing with fair Venus, making you want to interact warmly with everyone. You’ll be charming and diplomatic. Others will seek out your company. Nevertheless, be aware that it’s a moon alert all day!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
In one way, you want to be low-key today, but in another way, you’re drawn to gatherings and keeping up with what some friends are doing. This might make you tempted to spend money. Try to restrict your spending to food and gas. Keep things light. (See moon alert above.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today you’ll enjoy schmoozing with others, perhaps a female friend or colleague. Discussions about future goals might arise. Explore any idea that interests you, but commit to nothing until tomorrow.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’re high-viz today, which is fortunate because you make an excellent impression on everyone. You might have strong ideas about politics, religion or racial issues. Whatever the case, explore topics and get your information, but wait until tomorrow to act because today is a poor day for decisions.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’re hungry for adventure! Travel. Talk to people from different backgrounds. Explore your own city if you can’t take a short trip. If you learn something new, it will stimulate you. Restrict spending to food and gas because today is a moon alert.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be careful because the sun, the moon and Mercury retrograde are in one of your money houses, tempting you to engage in financial negotiations, discuss loans or deal with shared property or inheritances. This would be a poor idea because today is a moon alert all day. Forewarned is forearmed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a tricky day because both the sun and the moon are opposite your sign, which means you have to be accommodating. It’s not a big deal, but be aware of this. Avoid important decisions because of the moon alert. Restrict spending to food and gas.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your attempt to be efficient in whatever you do might be eroded by Mercury retrograde. This is a given. Just accept what’s happening, and go at a more leisurely pace. Double-check your work. Postpone important decisions today because all day it’s a moon alert. (Yikes.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a wonderful, creative day for you! Artistic people can make art today because it will be easy to think outside the box. Social occasions and fun schmoozing will please. Enjoy fun times with kids as well as romantic outings. It’s a moon alert all day.
If today is your birthday
Actress Rachel Brosnahan (1990) shares your birthday. You’re intellectual, analytical and empathetic. People respect you. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships, and spend time with those who are kind, helpful and supportive. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness.
