MOON ALERT: We have the all clear to do business (whether $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Taurus.

IF Dec. 31 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg (1946) shares your birthday. You have excellent taste. You appreciate beauty in your surroundings. Naturally, you take care with your appearance. Essentially, harmony and stability give you peace of mind. This is the year you have been waiting for. It’s a time of expansion and great activity. Take advantage of opportunities. A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2005. It’s time to try your wings!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful with money today. You might have an argument with someone, especially in a group, about cash, possessions or who pays for what. Meanwhile, you are inclined to go overboard. Don’t be silly. Protect your best interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Moon is in your sign today, and this is the classic day for arguments with others, especially parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. Well, is this a smart day for that or what? (Ya think?) Chill out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This is an accident-prone day for you because you might be emotionally distracted. An argument with someone or a heated reaction to something could cause you to lose your focus or concentration. Stay on it. You know the drill.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Arguments about money, possessions, cash flow, purchases and anything to do with your finances might erupt today. Please note: You have to accommodate, compromise and go more than halfway with others. Factoid. Stay chill.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Arguments with authority figures partners and close friends might flare up today. Unfortunately, this is the day where many people have high expectations, which means invariably, they are disappointed. Don’t do this to yourself. Just count your blessings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Squabbles with co-workers might occur today. Something harsh could impact your travel plans or even your health — so be careful. You are tempted to do brash things with broad strokes to show the world that you can live the big life. Get real.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Romantic partners might be irritated with each other. Is this the best way to finish the year? I don’t think so. But you have a choice. You can demonstrate grace under pressure and be diplomatic and charming. Avoid going overboard, especially partying and drinking. Be cool.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today the Moon is opposite your sign, and at odds with Mars and Jupiter. You have to accommodate others; just accept this. Avoid disputes with family members and resist the urge to try to prove something to others. You don’t have to prove anything. You’re a Scorpio. (“Hi Darth.”)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Because Jupiter is the ruler of your sign, and Jupiter is by far the largest planet, this means you do things in a big way, and yes, you can go overboard. This is the craziest day of the year to go overboard. The entire day is overboard! Do yourself a favour and be realistic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t throw your money around because you will be tempted to do so, especially if you are partying, exploring the arts, or trying to impress a romantic partner. Don’t fall for “the one with the most toys wins” bit, because it’s immature.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Because fiery Mars is in your sign, you’ve got energy to burn! Whether you know it or not, you’re coming on like gangbusters. Well, a hammer can be a lethal weapon or it can build a home for a family. What’s it going to be? Don’t waste your energy on domestic disputes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): No matter what happens around you, you always have the choice of response, don’t you? This means you are in the driver’s seat and you’re responsible for writing and directing the movie you are in. Talk to wardrobe. Get something sexy to wear.
