Moon alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 4:30 to 7 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your communication skills are hot, which means this is a great day for those of you in teaching, writing, acting, sales and marketing. Whatever you say will be forceful, meaningful and insightful. You will be quick to see the bottom line and the subtext of anything.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It’s good to know that this is a powerful day for you to make financial decisions or to have financial discussions with others. You will be succinct, to the point, and make your views known to others. As such, your influence may be greater than you suspect.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The moon is in your sign dancing with other planets in a strong, powerful connection. This means discussions with friends and members of groups could have far-reaching implications. Very likely, someone younger will be influenced — hopefully, in a positive way.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Research that you do behind the scenes will yield results. This is why it’s the perfect day to seek answers or solutions to old problems. Meanwhile, discussions with parents and authority figures will be powerful and practical. (Impressive.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is the perfect day to study something because you have excellent powers of concentration and the necessary perseverance to keep going. Discussions about publishing, the media, medicine and the law will go well. Likewise, discussions about travel and foreign countries will be revealing.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Discussions about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters will be productive today. Do your homework and jump right in because you will get results. Furthermore, you will be noticed for your efforts, but this is probably a good thing. Just do it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is an exciting day for you because for starters, you’re eager for adventure or at least, something different to occur. You’re up for something new. Meanwhile, discussions with partners (and possibly your kids) will prove to be enlightening and effective. (Oh my.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’ll be scrutinizing and discerning when it comes to discussions about inheritances, shared property or anything to do with loans, mortgages and debt. No one can pull anything over your eyes. Perhaps you’ll see ways to reduce your debt or in turn, swing a loan?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be ready to cooperate with others, especially with issues related to your kids or anything to do with sports, the arts, vacations and social outings. People have strong opinions today, which means you have to listen and respect what they say, even if you don’t agree. It’s a matter of courtesy.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Lively discussions at home and within your family can’t be avoided. However, you might have to put your needs and wants second to those of someone else (possibly someone younger). Nevertheless, it’s a great day to make improvements at home — or improvements anywhere.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a playful, fun-loving day! Furthermore, your communication style is original and memorable. This is why it’s a great day to socialize and enjoy meeting daily contacts as well as siblings, relatives and neighbors because everyone will be impressed with what you have to say. (Well, almost everyone.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might work from home or behind the scenes in a quiet way. Nevertheless, whatever you do could have far-reaching financial implications. You might have excellent ideas on how to earn more or to boost your earnings. You might also see new uses for something that you own.
