Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Capricorn.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Be wise and don’t challenge authority figures today, especially parents, bosses, supervisors, the government and the police. You won’t win. This is definitely the day to think for yourself, especially about choosing your battles. (Remember — you hate to lose.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a tense day for discussions about controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues. You might also be challenged in situations related to the law or medicine. Fortunately, the sun and Mercury in your sign will balance things. Go gently.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Financial discussions will definitely present a squeeze play for you today. Very likely, someone older, more experienced, or in authority will tell you why something can’t be done. Do your planning but play your cards close to your vest.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Relations with spouses, partners and close friends might be strained today because people are critical or cold. This makes you feel out of touch with others. (And you are a sensitive sign.) Let this go. This is a fleeting dark cloud on your horizon.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Health issues, as well as challenges at work, might arise today because someone is critical or uncooperative. (At least, that’s how it feels to you.) Avoid controversial subjects because they will be a bummer. Someone might quit today. Stay busy and stay positive.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a tough day for relating to your kids and for romantic relationships because the vibes are negative. (Please note: Things look worse than they really are.) People feel disconnected or disapproving of each other. Your perspective is distorted today. Relax.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You like to get along with others, which is why this might feel like a challenging, perhaps even gloomy, day for you. People might not be particularly friendly, or perhaps you might have to say goodbye to someone. There’s a discouraging failure of communication.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Be careful about falling into negative thinking about yourself today. You might be inclined to downgrade yourself in the eyes of others or dwell on negative experiences from the past. This is not real. Things look worse than they are today. If you work hard, you’ll feel better.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Financial issues look tight today, which is why spending money on pleasure outings or for your kids seems questionable. (“Should I do this?”) You would rather save your money. In addition, your kids might feel like an increased responsibility. The truth is that things are actually better than they look today. (You’re wearing your sad glasses.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Life looks worse than it is today. Keep this in mind and remind yourself to stay positive — because you can. Sometimes happiness is a state of mind — it’s a choice. Nevertheless, you might feel hurt, slighted or separated from a family member today. (Things will look better by Friday.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Home and family are your focus, and today you want to socialize. Nevertheless, for some reason, you feel cut off from others, which is why you might seek solitude. Don’t listen to criticism because it’s not real. Things look worse than they are today. Courage!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might be disappointed in a friend today. They might criticize you or fail to respond to your needs. You might even feel cut off from someone. Possibly, this relates to financial matters, money, or a possession. Let it go because this is a temporary, negative confusion today.
