Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Feb. 24

Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or big decisions from 8:15 a.m. until 4:45 p.m. Chicago time today. After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be aware of the Moon Alert today, which will inhibit shopping and important decisions. Nevertheless, take time to think about your new year (birthday to birthday). Write down your ideas to formulate a plan.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a creative, lovely day for those who work in the arts, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. You might come up with clever, imaginative ideas! Kick these ideas around but do not implement them until after the Moon Alert is over.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The Sun is at the top of your chart acting like a spotlight, and this light is flattering! This is a powerful time for you because you make a great impression on others. However, check with the Moon Alert before you act.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are keen to do something different and get a change of scenery because you want to expand your horizons and adventure. You also want to learn something new. This is a great day for writers and people who want to use their imagination. Keep an eye on the Moon Alert. Oh yeah.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a good time to deal with shared property, taxes, debt and such. However, today is not the day for important decisions. (See Moon Alert.) Just do your homework and fill your databank. Wait until the Moon Alert is over before you act.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign heading toward Libra. For most of this day, it is actually a Moon Alert, which is why you feel loosey-goosey, indecisive and at loose ends. But this energy is creative, and you can use it. Do not spend money or make important decisions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Wait until the Moon moves into your sign later today (see Moon Alert) before you swing into action. This is a good day because you are coming out from hiding in the wings to suddenly being boldly center stage. Make it work for you!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a lovely day to hang out with friends and schmooze. Even though there is a Moon Alert for most of the day, this is a great time to relax with people and discuss whatever comes into your head. Don’t buy anything other than food or gas. Enjoy your day.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a poor day to talk to people in authority, especially female power figures, because the Moon Alert could make things fuzzy and trigger misunderstandings. Don’t bet the farm on anything today. Wait until the Moon changes signs. (See Moon Alert.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will enjoy casual conversations with people from different backgrounds and other countries because you’re eager to explore more of the world and learn something new. Keep things light. Don’t agree to anything important.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because there is a long Moon Alert today, be careful with decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. Do your homework. Get your ducks lined up in a row as best you can but wait until the Moon changes signs before you act.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today begins with the Moon opposite your sign (while it is in Virgo); however, by the end of the day, it will move into Libra. For most of the day, it’s a nice time to relax with loved ones, partners and close friends. Take it easy if you can.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Tech entrepreneur Steve Jobs (1955-2011) shares your birthday today. Sacrifice is a theme in your life. You give a lot to a cause, and in turn, you demand a lot. Great news! This is perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life, a time of accumulation. This is a good year to buy and sell. The seeds you have planted in the past will now ripen because it’s a time of fruition.
