Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and big decisions from 5 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are popular with younger people and artistic types. Enjoy schmoozing with everyone! You’re a natural leader in any group situation. Of course, this year is your time of harvest, when the seeds you have planted in the past will now come to fruition. Good for you!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The Sun, Mercury and Venus at the top of your chart make you look good in the eyes of others. Bosses and people in power are impressed! (In fact, a romance with a boss might begin.) Relations with partners are smooth; however, disputes about shared property might arise. Be cool.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Anything that can stimulate you and get you out of your rut will be a welcome change, ’cause you need to get outta Dodge! Travel for pleasure appeals. If you can’t travel now then make travel plans. However, do not make plans during the Moon Alert today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Negotiations about shared property and inheritances continue. However, you have the advantage. In fact, gifts, goodies and favors from others will come your way now! Nevertheless, don’t sign important papers during the Moon Alert today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Remember that you need more sleep, so get your rest. Relations with partners and close friends are friendly and warm, which is reassuring. However, a dispute this afternoon with one of your kids or a lover might ensue. Dodge that if you can.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Later today, the Moon moves into your sign, which might trigger a dispute with a family member. Don’t even go there. It’s not worth it, plus this stressful time is very brief. Meanwhile, you are keen to work and be as productive as possible. Bravo!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a busy, social time! The arts, sports events, schmoozing with others plus playful activities with children demand your time. (To say nothing of budding romance!) Nevertheless, as the Moon changes signs today, you want more privacy. Solitude in beautiful surroundings will delight by evening.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

As the day wears on, you feel an increasing need for a confidential conversation with a female companion or close friend. (It’s hard to keep a shirt on when you have to get something off your chest.) Home and family continue to be your strong focus.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This continues to be a fast-paced time with short trips, conversations with everyone plus increased reading and writing. Later today, you want to escape. “I gotta blow this pop stand!” Go someplace you’ve never been before. Talk to people from different backgrounds.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Money is on your mind and you’re full of moneymaking ideas. And you’re buying goodies for yourself as well. (If shopping, take note of the Moon Alert.) Hot tip: Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and race this afternoon. You’ll be glad you did.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a strong day! Three planets are in your sign. Lucky Jupiter is the top of your chart — what’s not to like? This afternoon, avoid disputes about shared property, inheritances or red-tape matters. Just keep things cool because you rock!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In many ways, you are keeping a low profile lately. While doing so, many of you are getting a lot of work done and doing research as well. Yes, these quiet times have their benefit. Be patient with partners and close friends late in the day to avoid squabbles. (You don’t need the aggro.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor-singer Harry Styles (1994) shares your birthday today. You are honest, passionate and a born humanitarian. You are creative and very comfortable being rebellious. This year is a power year! Big decisions and major achievements! Think success, power and money! It’s time to reap the benefits of the last decade. Expect to attain aspects of power and leadership in all your relationships with others. Activity is key!
